Simone Ashley

You can see this dress in its entirety in her editorial shoot, and honestly, I think this cover is great; her face is nearly neutral in its expression and yet she is also so engaged and present. Additionally: Her eyebrows are great.

Rachel Zegler Newsstand

This is the cover that's going to be on newsstands and her eyebrows are ALSO great. I'm actually not sure if she's as successful a model as Simone Ashley, but the use of the red lip and the red "Elle" is really good, and the veil is striking.

Rachel Zegler Subscription

This is actually a swimsuit -- you can see the whole thing in her editorial shoot -- and it's actually cuter as a bikini than it is as a possible crop top. Those earrings are great, but as a cover this feels a bit underwhelming? The previous one is definitely more striking for me.

Alison Oliver

Finally: I LOVE this one. It's so energetic and feels almost 80s. It's just fun and unexpected.
