Cate Blanchett for US Vogue December 2009 Cover
Aussie actress and Vogue favourite Cate Blanchett, in a gold Donna Karan resort dress, is on the December 2009 cover of American Vogue.
I don't know what it is and I'm having trouble pinpointing it now but I feel like I've seen this cover — or look/concept – somewhere before. It's sooo familiar!
Thoughts on the cover?

This is one of a kind fashion. Gold is so stunning and really gives you a graceful look . . I learned these tips and more from The Vedic Image Group, a fashion styling and image consulting group image consulting and fashion styling @866-565-7541 there fashion styling are so amazing
Anna Wintour, BryanBoy was sitting a seat away from you at the D&G show. Don’t you get it. It’s time to be fearless even if the auditors are on your back. Do something new for 2010. Let’s bring back the models. Let’s make the super once more. So bored bored bored.
it’s seems to be channeling boticelli’s the birth of venus to me…..it’s a stretch but that’s what I feel!! what do you think?
oh my god, she looks like a lollipop – talk about photoshop gone mad… insanely bad edited
The bottom line is magazines have to be SOLD. In these times especially..Anna ability to SELL is what’s keeping that magazine in print.. it’s nice to live in a fashion fairy tale, but reality is a must at times. I’m sure the many Vogue employees are thankful..possibly through resentment and scorn, but nonetheless, still thankful ;D
spartans! prepare for glory!
seriously… THIS IS GETTNG EMBARRASSING!
sooo lame ideas and with such a look u wouldnt even notice. i mean, no question, european vogue issues are and were always better anyway BUT THIS IS GETTING TOOOOO LAME!!!
either american vogue finally shows off with some ideas or they seriously have to change the leading power!
YOU CAN SEE EASILY FROM THAT COVER THAT MS. BELOVED WINTOUR HAS REACHED THE YEAR 60!!! she seems to be one of the people who really go out of skills that age!
Gwyneth Paltrow Vogue cover… promoting Ironman… blown hair, metallic dress
Blanchett in 2004 Vogue… metallic dress, blown hair…
Blanchett in Feb 2009 Vogue…. metallic dress
they all look the same,
I expected much more very honestly.. Anna are you awake?
angelina in the desert…lol
looks like a mix between a Chloe campaign and a J’adore campaign. Zzzz, whatever, it sells.
Boring. As. Hell.
I totally agree with you BB. Vogue America’s formula has always been the same. Repetitive! White female(90% of the time an actress), wearing a pretty commercial gown with a nature/plant based background. They need to experiment and that includes with their models. Take a risk!Put some gorgeous non-white face on the cover.I’m sick of seeing the usual Kate Hudson, Kiera Knightely, Sienna Miller, and Charlize Theron.I’m glad i stopped my Vogue subscription long time back. Things haven’t changed one bit.
they need to bring back high fashion!! be creative vogue! and yeah it does look like anges photo, long dress boring looking at the camera!
ehhh
Before i even saw this cover and found out that Cate was gonna be in the cover i was like “ugghhhhh not again” and when i actually saw the cover i was like “EHHHHH” sooooo boring boring boring…. what happened to anna wintours creative covers in the past with the models…. conde nast is paying too much money publishing uselessness… American vogue makes fashion useless to our world while foreign vogues make fashion ART!!!!
She also had a Vanity Fair over shoot with the same styling and colors: http://bettyparaboschi.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/cate-blanchett-vanity-fair-february-2009-cover.jpg
The woman is unbelievably talented and has a very edgy fashion sense, why they always make her look like this is beyond me!
i just feel like all these covers feature women wearing gowns in a random field..it’s annoying
This cover is not fashion at all. What has happened with US Vogue lately? A lot of lame covers and just totally ininspired!
She looks like a trophy carrying the red carpet. Perhaps a pre-Oscar thing. Charot!
this is silly. i mean do something different in stead of copying your own ideas. anyway, i’m more inspired by VOGUE Paris and wouldn’t buy this anyways.
we’ve already seen Cate Blanchett on the cover of 2004 december issue. it is strikingly similar to this one.

Bland, Bland and Bland. US Vogue covers have become more commercial and less high-fashion. It’s same formula they use every month – celebrity photo, too much writing on the front ( some of the blurbs belong on Time Magazine ) and some white caption in the corner. Boring!
you know, i thought about that, too.
angelina jolie + ralph lauren ad campaign
isnt it too much like angie on the desert 2 or so years back? anyhow yet another boring cover with nothing in between to read :(
uninspired cover. snoozefest.
Too bland for my taste. I’m not buying it.
It’s likethis months’s cover all the girls from the movie Nine.
Sooo not creative….
Ummm…metallic dress, same pose, and windblown hair?
This is my beef with Amer Vogue. There is no attempt to provoke with the cover. Every one is the same. The eye gets tired with the repetition. Even if we have to look at the same celebrities, it might be interesting to change the cover presentation.
I am also hoping for less Annie Leibovitz. Just because she is broke does not mean she should be allowed to shoot back-to-back awful covers. I mean, I have no money, but I do not get to shoot Vogue covers.
Just a thought.
