What an awful cover photo. Because it's very, very serious and not a fashion shoot they had to pose the women like they are lined up in front of a firing squad?
Totally agree - bad photo of both of them. Definitely NOT a look to encourage women and power. It actually makes me angry that they chose this, it's not a trivial issue.

The make up and hair on both women is unflattering. This light blonde really washes Nicole out. I think this is Nicole's own hair - thin and lifeless. No wonder she uses wigs most of the time.

To me that’s the whole point. It shouldn’t matter what they are wearing. When you see men on the cover of magazines they aren’t all dolled up like peacocks. The person matters. Not what they look like
My point was there is a way to photograph a woman without dolling her up like a peacock that does not mean making her look angry, scared, frail, and disenfranchised. Nicole looks like she just got out of 72 hours of torture and interrogation and her captors took a photo of her to prove she's still alive.

The woman next to her is just as bad. She's dressed up in a bathrobe/kimono thing dress that evokes the uniform of an Asian spa attendant. :confused1: She looks like one of those photos they put in fashion magazines of "what women really look like without makeup" except they appear to have told her to look actively looked pissed off.

The only message I see here is that New York Magazine thinks "powerful" women are really messed up and unhappy.
