A beautiful cover girl.

Oh God! Lana has SOOOO MANY iconic magazine shoots, which made it kinda hard to make a selection of 10 - but I did it. Here are my top 10 Lana Del Rey magazine covers so far:

 

 

 

 

 

[hydrangeas 244]

Flaunt! 100%
But also close runners up are the new Interview magazine cover, Tokyo Numero and that one with her lovely black wavy bob: L'Official: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/lanadelrey/images/a/a2/Lofficiel.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20220321070603
She has so many beautiful covers! Wish I could collect them all but alas, they are all very expensive now

I have many but in general Interview and Rolling Stone just know how to do it in my opinion.

about the W one though, were any physical copies actually printed w this cover photo? i've only ever seen the one w the christmas colors, i have it myself actually but would've cut off a limb for the pink version

 

[sparklrtrailrheaven 9,223]

Thought long and hard about this, and I think my top 5 are:

1. Flaunt - The David LaChapelle shoot constantly competes for my favorite ever, and I love everything about this cover. The colors, the found photo, the cheeky camp sensibility... whew

2. Billboard (2012) - A rare cover appearance by blonde Lana, in another of my favorite photoshoots. I've said it before, but this one is the perfect bridge between Lizzy and Lana, and kind of captures the best of both worlds 

3. Q (2012) [Cover 2] - This one's the subscribers-only edition that's a tight closeup on Lana's face (posted earlier in the thread!). It's so intense and unexpected, and who doesn't love a Carrie moment

4. V (2017) - Another perfect shoot, crazy considering I thought she'd never top her first V cover with Steven Klein. This isn't even my favorite photo from the set, but it's still drop-dead gorgeous. Sophisticated, stunning, and just off-kilter enough to be LDR

5. Interview (2023) - The new cover!!!!! Nadia Lee Cohen has been on my radar for a long time now, and I never even considered how well she'd work with Lana. Totally genius, LDR looks like a broken-down bridal mannequin and I live for it. The shoot we always needed

 

Honorable mentions include: Spex, Lovecat, Interview (2012) [the monochrome German cover edges out the Russian cover ever-so-slightly], and V (2015) 

For what it's worth, I ranked all of her major magazine covers bc I had a day off lmao and bottom position was Rolling Stone (2019)... no hate to Elton John but she looked weird and the cover was boring. Worst solo cover was California Style, which is one of the few I own  I think she looks pretty and I like the green but god something about it is giving limp, dead fish

Ik this isn’t the interned purpose of this thread but one magazine cover I can’t stand is the Thailand version of L’official 2018

 Like what did they do to my girl she looks good, don’t get me wrong. It’s just like…. Why does she have ugly bird wings
