you've got to hand it to the girl...

So for those already in the UK you will already be well aware that Oct Vogue sees the lovely Cheryl Cole gracing its cover for the second time in 18months! Being from the North East obviously I do love her. There's something reassuring about the level of success she's achieved without putting on a fake accent and forgetting her roots. You've got to hand it to the girl, she's done very well for herself. And best of luck to her now she's got rid of her cheating rat of a husband.

I think the pics from the shoot are gorgeous and she looks beautiful in all the soft sugary colours.



There's something about the photos that is very reminiscent of Sofia Coppola's advert for Dior's Miss Cherie.



That being said....is it just me or is this a little bit of a summery cover for the Oct issue?? Seems like a lot of pink considering we're entering A/W? I have to admit she does look gorgeous though so I don't really mind. Maybe someone at Condé Nast felt it would be a nice change from moving into all the heavy rich colours normally associated with this time of year. It is definitely a change from the camel which is appearing everywhere. Demarchelier did a good job.


I definitely prefer this cover to her previous one back in Feb 09, where she was so heavily made up she looked like a different person...
