I don’t really have any complaints about this cover. Her face looks amazing. The shot is arresting and beautiful, even if I learned on Top Model that you never want to hide your neck if you can help it.

You should click through to the profile to see the rest of the shoot - especially to eyeball this coat from the cover in its ABSOLUTELY BONKERS entirety, but also because she wears a lot of really interesting, avant-garde stuff. The profile itself is lengthy and interesting — I was unaware of how often she’s gotten herself in hot water on social media, and I had to chuckle at this:

As I was writing this piece, disappointed Paraguayan fans, unable to catch the performer due to stormy weather, began trolling her on Twitter, claiming she hadn’t shown the country any love. The deluge of comments proved too much for Doja, and shortly after midnight on March 25, she announced she was quitting music, changing her username on Twitter to “i quit.” Later that same day, she posted a video of herself singing Rihanna’s “Kiss It Better” comically off-key while getting her makeup done. No context, just the caption, “im bouta bust.” She would go on to put on a rousing performance that night in Brazil, despite updating her Twitter handle to “i quit still.” (The next day, she tweeted out an apology, dispelling the notion that she was quitting.)

Something about quitting, unquitting, quitting again and then unquitting again is just funny to me.

We didn’t get sent the other two covers, but you probably want to see them, as well:
