An Afro-blonde Shirley Mallmann rocks an orange cardigan, styled by Paulo Martinez and photographed by Fabio Bartelt for the June issue of Elle Brazil.

Eniko Mihalik styled by Renata Correa and photographed by Gui Paganini for Elle Brazil. Any of the images above would have been a much better cover choice than the actual cover of the issue.

Sorry, but neither the weird leg position, the makeup, or the styling are working for me on this cover.

Thairine Garcia, Way Model Management’s Thiago Selasco and his boyfriend Rogério Martinez, Cássia Ávila, Alexandre Herchcovitch and his muse Geanine Marques, Bruno Ventura, Samira Carvalho, Carmelita Mendes, Ronaldo Martins, Rafael Lazzini and Renata Sozzi with their baby Lucca, and Lea T. photographed by Bob Wolfenson and styled by Paulo Martinez for the 25th anniversary issue of Elle Brazil.

Cris Herrmann and Kamila Hansen styled by Flavia Pommianosky and Davi Ramos and photographed by Gui Paganini for the May issue of Elle Brazil.

Rodrigo Hilbert photographed in Rio by Fe Pinheiro for the 25th anniversary issue of Elle Brazil.

Helena Christensen by Karl Lagerfeld for the 25th anniversary issue of Elle Brazil. A great achievement for Elle Brazil to have Karl Lagerfeld shoot the cover story of its anniversary issue, but I actually prefer Naomi Campbell’s Vogue Brazil cover this month. Cannot wait to see the stories in this issue though.

Kate Upton by Carine Roitfeld and Sebastian Faena for Harper’s Bazaar Brazil. Another one of Carine’s global covers for Harper’s Bazaar, only this time it makes absolute zero sense for a Brazilian publication.

Ana Beatriz Barros by Paschoal Rodriguez for L’Officiel Brazil. There are so many things wrong with this cover I don’t even know where to begin. Ignore the insanely awful styling and the type, and the biggest problem is that the person in the picture looks absolutely nothing like Ana Beatriz Barros. That is the without a doubt the worst retouching cover job I have seen in Brazil in a very long time.

Carolina Thaler and Daiane Conterato styled by Flávia Pommianosky and Davi Ramos and photographed by Gui Paganani for the April issue of Elle Brazil.

Art meets fashion in the April issue of Elle Brazil with a story photographed by Gustavo Zylbersztajn at last month’s MOVE! exhibit at Sesc Belenzinho, featuring a selection of graphic pieces edited by Rita Lazzarotti and Larissa Lucchese.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley by Henrique Gendre and Aline Weber by Jacques Dequeker for Vogue Brazil. Although I do not see the need for two completely unrelated covers, they are some of my favorite covers from the publication produced by Brazilian photographers recently.

Lily Aldridge by Eduardo Rezende for Elle Brazil. It is the first cover under new editor-in-chief Susana Barbosa and I like the direction. It is about time Brazilian fashion magazines start shooting girls other than Isabeli Fontana and Aline Weber for their covers, and start producing more of their content overseas.

Ali Michael by Yossi Michaeli for L’Officiel Brazil. Sorry, but it has been a year since L’Officiel Brazil relaunched under a new editorial team and I still do not get the direction of the magazine (or the relevance of this cover).

Daniela Braga by Gui Paganini for Harper’s Bazaar Brazil. It was about time a national magazine gave Daniela Braga a much deserved cover, but I just wish Bazaar had used any other image from her editorial instead of the picture above. Not only does her head look like it is floating, but also her amazing skin complexion has been over retouched. Best choice of model this month, but bad choice of image and retouching.
