From Rihanna & Beyonce on Vogue, to Lupita on the cover of Net-a-Porter’s Mag, here are all the cover girl pictures from glossy magazines we love
Cover girl inspiration oozed out of many magazine covers this month! Women of color especially rocked magazine covers this month and stunned in the most inspiring yet minimalistic way. But for Rihanna’s pencil-thin eyebrows and dramatic lip on the cover of British Vogue, most of the “sisters” opted for minimalistic looks. Maybe a little eyeshadow here and there and some lipstick, but nothing over the top.
Cover girls are expected to inspire and empower and these women delivered. Net-a-Porter’s cover girl for the month was our very own Lupita Nyong’o. Lupita discussed the need to change beauty standards for people of color especially when it comes to hair. The actress uses her cover girl platform to inspire kinky-haired people, especially children, to believe they are beautiful.
