Lady Gaga - 'Elle'
Lady Gaga's fame has catapulted
to record levels this year and instead of shooting her in all her out-there
glory, Elle stripped her down in black & white for their January
cover. However, they kept the pop star's flair intact with signature shades and
outrageous headgear.

Natalia Vodianova - 'Harper's Bazaar UK'
We love how literally Harper's Bazaar UK
depicted a strong woman by putting Natalia
Vodianova in a gold coat of armor on the November cover. There were few
cover subjects so thought-provoking as this gilded Joan of
Arc.

Lara Stone - 'Vogue Paris'
The 90th Anniversary cover of Vogue Paris sums
up exactly what the magazine is about—provocation, mystery and challenging
fashion. With the voluptuous Lara Stone wearing
nothing but an Eyes Wide Shut mask, this cover definitely tries to turn
you on.

Marc Jacobs - 'Industrie'
It's one thing to put a man in drag on the cover of a
magazine, but to put fashion genius Marc Jacobs on
the cover in a pair of thigh highs? Well, there's not much else that needs to be
said. Industrie's cover is daring, innovative and ballsy—just the way
we like it.

Daphne Guinness - 'Zoo Magazine'
The December cover of Zoo Magazine sends chills
down your spine. Daphne Guinness' delicate lace
ensemble coupled with a lurking shadow in muted sepia tones is eery, artsy and
absolutely fabulous.

Tom Ford 'Vogue Paris'
Tom Ford is back! Vogue
Paris puts the fashion genius and guest editor on the cover of their
December/January issue in a sultry and not-so-subtly sexy 70s-inspired cover. If
this is any indicator of how 2011 will look with Tom back in the game, it'll be
a ridiculously glamorous year indeed.

Katy Perry - 'Harper's Bazaar'
The first word out of our mouths when we saw this cover
was "wow." From her ruby red Swarovski crystal-encrusted lips to the prismatic
effect of her eyes, Katy Perry was breathtaking on the
eye-catching and dramatic cover of Harper's Bazaar.

Alexa Chung - 'L'Officiel'
The August L'Officiel cover is simple, with a
serene Alexa Chung posing in a vintage-inspired
dress. But it's the inherent simplicity that we love. Covers don't need bells
and whistles to make a statement, and this cover reflects a calm innocence and
retro glamour.

Anne Hathaway - 'Vogue'
There was something about Anne
Hathaway on the November cover of Vogue that immediately put us in
the holiday spirit. The combination of the color of her dress and her in-motion,
"I'm taking a break from being the life of the party" pose was thoroughly
refreshing and had us humming carols for the rest of the
day.

Ashley Smith - 'Jalouse'
Jalouse's October cover addresses our obsession
with brands by literally diagramming them, as if on a classroom blackboard. The
unique cover style coupled with Ashley Smith's trend-driven ensemble drew our
attention like the hordes to a Lanvin sample
sale.

Phoebe Philo - 'The Gentlewoman'
The Gentlewoman shot designer Phoebe Philo in black & white on a vintage-esque
magazine layout with a scarf tied around her neck. It's simple, modern and as a
maiden issue, it's downright daring. What's not to
love?
