Representing the “Shape issue” is Beyonce, who has been photographed by Mario Testino for the April ’09 cover of Vogue. It’s the second time this year that Anna Wintour has chosen a black woman for the cover (Michelle Obama was the first for the March ’09 issue). With the headline “Real women have curves, Beyonce at her best”, it’s great to see the 27-year-old land the cover, but might I casually remind Ms Wintour that real women come in all wonderful shapes, and not solely of the curvy variety.

People’s latest cover subject, First Lady Michelle Obama, is likely trying to silence critics with her latest fashion choice. Women’s Wear Daily reported after the inauguration that many in the black community expressed disappointment that Mrs. Obama wasn’t supporting more African American designers.
But by wearing the Tracy Reese Guipure Lace Kimono Dress in Dried Azalea, $395, the first lady not only picks a perfectly pretty and appropriate People cover look, she supports a black designer on one of her most high-profile covers.
While the Vogue cover is surely more anticipated, certainly within the fashion community, the People cover is probably more visible and so a good choice to put those criticisms to rest. And a good place to spotlight an attainable yet stylish designer for her fans and fashion lemmings.
I love the color for Obama, and it may be one of the more feminine dresses we’ve seen her in. Luckily it combined girlish details with a grown up, flattering silhouette, unlike some other choices…

Some people are a bit disappointed that Katie Grand’s LOVE magazine sort of ripped off Beth Ditto’s 2007 NME cover, but our Kim Foster is in love with LOVE’s debut cover. Here’s what she had to say…
OMFG! So it’s no secret that Beth Ditto was hand-picked by Katie Grand to be LOVE magazine’s first cover girl, but we had no idea that she was going to bare all for the job. The sensational Gossip singer has stripped off a second time to launch the debut issue of LOVE (the last time was for NME in 2007). Advanced copies are set to hit Dover Street Market and Harvey Nichols from Saturday now instead of today because apparently they are still being printed. Although if you’re in the area, it’s worth a look.
What do you think of Beth’s ballsy cover? Comment below.

Catwalk Queen‘s Gemma Cartwright writes…
Those Gossip Girl kids definitely gets around, don’t they? It seems like not a glossy goes to print without some mention of the cast of fashion’s favorite show.
In the March edition of Harper’s Bazaar (yep, them again), Ed Westwick gets seduced by supermodel / photographer / all-round fashionista Helena Christensen in a shoot by snapper Terry Richardson.
The shoot features the couple looking very lustful in clothes by the likes of Max Mara, Oscar de la Renta, Dolce & Gabbana and Burberry. Keep reading for more pics…

Here it is folks! The much-anticipated March ’09 Vogue cover starring Michelle Obama. It seems it was accidentally posted on WSJ’s fashion blog ahead of its launch tomorrow, and quickly picked up by Jezebel for our viewing pleasure (thanks peeps!). Photographed by Annie Leibovitz, there has been plenty of chatter already on forums about the portrait and of course the choice of outfit – a sleeveless fuchsia dress by Jason Wu.

Gosh, does Diane von Furstenberg look stunning in blonde or what?
Grande dame Diane really has the high-low media coverage covered – what with the prominence of her design headquarters on MTV’s The City (that would be the low) and now the Purple Fashion Magazine cover.
I’ve got to say, Purple has some of my favorite covers in the industry. What do you think?

Sarah Jessica Parker graces the cover of the upcoming March fashion issue of Harper’s Bazaar in one of my favorite new trends – zippers.
Asked how alterego Carrie Bradshaw would handle today’s recessionary times, Parker said “She would probably end up in a hospital. Perhaps she would go back to her ’80s stuff and start bringing it out again.”
We wonder if it’s as good as Parker’s own ’80s stuff. “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” anyone?
The March issue of Harper’s Bazaar hits newstands February 17. See more here.

Time to say goodbye to another great magazine. Domino is shutting down, with no word on whether any part of the Web site or blog will continue.
The title follows Home, House & Garden, Cottage Living, and Country Home as a victim of the recession.
If this means the current issue is the last one, or if more are yet to come we’re not sure. In the meantime, check out this gallery of closets, a feature on White House style under the Obamas and their editor’s blogs.

While Vogue is still toeing the line saying “We’re very interested in working with the First Lady,” Michelle Obama’s hairstylist Johnny Wright may have spilled some beans by listing styling the First Lady’s hair for “her upcoming appearance on the cover of Vogue magazine” as one of his accomplishments for a reality TV show he’s working on.
Plus, to further encourage the gossip, regular Vogue celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz was seen in Washington last week leaving the Hay-Adams Hotel, where the Obamas were staying. Insiders expect a high-low fashion mix for the photo shoot.
The March spring fashion issue would be a likely issue for Obama’s appearance, since it is one of the thickest of the year.

R. J. Cutler’s new documentary The September Issue debuted at Sundance this past weekend to several packed houses, but when will the general public get to view it?
Well, if you go to Netflix you can add the film to your “saved” queue though no date is listed as to when it will be available. Another hope? A&E, the original destination for the film, says they still plan to air the film sometime this year.
While Anna Wintour didn’t make the Friday night premiere, she and daughter Bee Schaffer did attend a public viewing on Saturday, and the premiere of “Rudo y Cursi.”
“[I'm] channeling mountain casual. It is actually my first time wearing jeans to work,” Wintour said. She wore a leather Michael Kors jacket with a fox collar, an Oscar de la Renta turtleneck, J Brand jeans and Manolo Blahnik boots.
