Vogue Cover

This month’s cover features Cate Blanchett. She wears a resort 2014 look, from Gucci. The outfit also features a metallic jacket, relaxed fit, top and trousers, all matching. Cate takes up main focus when considering visual hierarchy, placed in front of an infinity pool, slightly blurred due to the shallow depth of field.

There are a lot of things I like about this cover, especially Jillian Division’s (shoot stylist) choice of the Gucci jacket and trousers, which looks incredible. However, I feel a simple white silk cami may have suited the look of the outfit a little better. The make-up looks stunning, very simple with not to much eye make-up, and the sheer red lipstick really complements the outfit. Had I been involved in the shoot, I would of liked to of seen Cate’s hair in a messy bun, as a comparison. The outfit is very formal and elegant and the hair seems to detract from that feel. If in fact this was the plan, a messy bun could of achieved this, while still complimenting the outfit.
