(If you don't: It's negative.) And I wish they hadn't gone with the blond wig. Add that to the styling here, and this could as easily be stuff they pulled for a Hilary Duff cover in 2005 that never ended up happening. And with all due respect to Hilary, who iI hear is super charming on "Younger," Zendaya is a lot cooler than she is, and I think this cover could have done a WAY better job of celebrating what actually is fresh and endearing and exciting about this person. ## Zendaya ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/marie-claire-fresh-faces-may-2016-cover-6.png) This looks like she's upset that her neckline is too tight. ## Kylie Jenner ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/kylie-jenner-marie-claire-fresh-faces-may-2016.jpg) This is fine, if also rather OW MY MOLAR SHIT JUST KEEP SMILING WHATEVER. Dear Marie Claire: Kylie Jenner is the opposite of a Fresh Face. Kylie Jenner has been in the press since she was like 13 and has appeared on her family's TV show. I will give them that she's only just branching out into her OWN merch, rather than co-branded stuff, but... this was, incidentally, also the infamous interview in which she basically claimed that she "started wigs" and that anything she touches will turn into a phenomenon. I... have a lot of notes. One of which is that arrogance is the enemy of rooting value. ## Kylie Jenner ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/marie-claire-fresh-faces-may-2016-cover-3.png) Migraine In Wind Tunnel: A Portrait. ## Ellie Goulding ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/marie-claire-fresh-faces-may-2016-cover-ellie-goulding.jpg) Ellie is ALSO not a fresh face. She sang at freaking Will and Kate's wedding in 2011 and has been all over the place since then. And now she's staring at me as if I just let out a string of rude words. ## Ellie Goulding ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/marie-claire-fresh-faces-may-2016-cover-5.png) This photo would be a lot cooler if her hair weren't whipping straight into her face. ## Gugu Mbatha-Raw ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/marie-claire-fresh-faces-may-2016-cover-gugu-mbatha-raw.jpg) They REALLY got their money's worth out of that wind machine this month. Although I do think she is a great pick. She also is serving great face. ## Gugu Mbatha-Raw ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/marie-claire-fresh-faces-may-2016-cover-4.png) She is here, too. Her face is just great all the time, basically, although being able to give your eyes some heat is never a given, and she can do that. But seriously: ENOUGH WITH THE WIND. It's a crutch, Marie Claire. A CRUTCH. ## Hailey Baldwin ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/marie-claire-fresh-faces-may-2016-cover-hailey-baldwin.jpg) Do I have to start paying attention to her now? Does anyone who reads Marie Claire want to pay attention? All I know her from is trying to climb the Kardashian/Bieber ladder to tabloid fame. That's enough for me right now. I feel like the creative for this shoot was, "Let's make people think it's Keira Knightley in hot pants." ## Hailey Baldwin ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2016/04/marie-claire-fresh-faces-may-2016-cover-2.png) This feels a little empty to me. Also that sweater is... what IS it? [Fug or Fab the Covers: Marie Claire's Fresh Faces Issue, May 2016Well, not all of them are fresh, but they do at least all have faces? So the chosen theme is half-accurate. (You can read the piece about them all here.) (We covered the party feting this issue, if you want to revisit -- and interestingly, in the preamble, I note that we were stockpiling magazine cover posts in the event that our Internet went kerflooey in the UK, AND IT DID. PROPHETIC.) \[Photos: Tesh for Marie Claire\]![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/bf/b9/bfb99790-924d-4e41-a7e6-5e3c6e04fe57/content/images/static-gofugyourself-com/uploads/2016/04/marie-claire-fresh-faces-may-2016-cover-zendaya.jpg)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fug-or-fab-the-covers-marie-claires-fresh-faces-issue-may-2016-04-2016/)
