Kate Upton, Crop Top Get Another Vogue Cover

Following Kate Upton's momentous American Vogue cover debut, the magazine's Brazilian edition decided to give Gisele the month off for once and tapped Upton for July. In a white crop top, no less! Other observations:

1. Her other Vogue covers (Italian, British, and American, in that order) have styled her hair to look fluffy and Marilyn Monroe–esque, but this one has her hair slicked back and wet-looking. You can barely tell it's blonde. When will someone throw a brunette wig on her and "shock" everybody?

2. Her matching pencil skirt, coat, and crop top are from Miu Miu's spring collection, and it's a new look for her — normally magazines don't put her in voluminous silhouettes. Obviously it's falling off her shoulder a bit, because her clothes just can't ... stay ... on.

Katy Perry’s First Vogue Cover Leaked Early

Here is Katy Perry, nestled in tall grass like a newborn lamb, her powdered face turned toward Annie Leibovitz's lens like a flower to the sun for her very first-ever Vogue cover. (It bears a striking resemblance to Anne Hathaway's December cover, no?) She's wearing Rodarte, which is definitely a step up from her cupcake bras and aggressive keyhole cutouts of yore.

But wait, how are we supposed to interpret that ring on her wedding finger? The headlines do hint that we'll hear about her love life — does this mean she'll discuss John Mayer? Or Russell Brand, who is now supposedly making out with Andre Balazs's daughter, of all people? What about Robert Pattinson? Alas, these questions won't be answered until Tuesday, when the full accompanying spread and cover story will come out. (And probably when the cover was supposed to go up, had it not leaked early on the Fashion Spot.) 

Also of note: This cover reveals that the July issue will contain a story about Alexander Wang "Rebooting Balenciaga," which will surely be fluffy but hopefully interesting, as well as a feature about women who have to choose between a "good mood or good sex," which sounds unfortunate.

See Gisele’s First Post-Baby-Vivian Vogue Cover

It should surprise no one that Gisele Bundchen's tummy is already fashion-ready less than six months after she gave birth to her second child, daughter Vivian Lake, in December, because of course it is. Here she is on the cover of Vogue Brazil's June issue wearing the inexplicable combination of black bikini, leather vest, and body oil. Go ahead and insert all exclamations about her amaaazing post-baby body, gravity-defying such-and-such, and inhuman abs here, and just get it over with.
