Lara Mullen Covers Marie Claire UK November 2016, and I find this cover quite different. I don’t like it at all!
There is nothing about this cover I like at all. It looks so blah – plain and boring, nothing like the usual Marie Claire magazine covers, and I wonder what has gone wrong. Although Marie Claire has been slacking in the magazine covers bit lately; the previous cover with Britney Spears was pretty but her pose was a little too serious. And I think this is also an issue with this cover here; Lara Mullen looks a little too serious.
I didn’t know who Lara Mullen was, not until after I did some research. So for those who don’t know, Lara Mullen is a British model and she recently just had a haircut, everyone online seems to be going on and on about that on the web.
So looking on the bright side, boring cover aside, the issue looks quite interesting. I am loving the features on the cover, especially the “What to wear now” feature. There is also an interview with the Fifty Shades‘ star – Jamie Dornan, which looks like a fab read. Here is a quote from the interview:
‘The idea of being single makes me instantly sweat’ Jamie Dornan told us, sounding very much relieved to be off the market. In his November issue interview with Marie Claire, Dornan also discussed his aversion to gyms, why he loves playing Paul Spector in The Fall and why filming the second and third Fifty Shades movies was easier than the first”.
There are also tips on how to fight winter colds which is currently going the runs:
Did you know taking vitamin C pills doesn’t really help prevent a cold? Or that the number of colds you suffer from is partly down to genetics? Or that being miserable can actually make you more susceptible to the sniffles? With the most up-to-the-minute research – and advice on remedies that really work – we bring you a comprehensive guide to the most common ailment there is.
This issue sounds quite interesting to be honest. I would read it if I come across it or may pick it up if I have the time to pop down to the shops before it leaves the newsstands.
What do you think of this cover? Are you a fan? Sound off in the comment section below, lets chat.
Thanks for reading and have a fab weekend.
It’s interesting, it looks quite dated. Quite seventies to me. I guess that might be a concious choice though, all very on trend at the moment. The dark text on the cover looks pretty shoddy though, very much knocked up in a media studies class. Not their usual standard!

Yea I guess it was a deliberate attempt to look dated.
I agree, I’m not a fan of this cover, it looks very dated x
Too dated.
I have to agree with you about the front cover it does look plain and boring not like the usual covers I’ve seen.
True that.
I think what they try to do is differentiate themselves from other covers that are more colorful and similar designed such as Cosmopolitan, Vogue… I think this one is a classic design, retro and simple x
Yea and very dated.
Hmm you know I actually don’t mind it – I think they were aiming for that slightly dated look and going for a more vogue-esque style… not really sure if it works for this publication, but it’s different! H x
Yea it is different. Don’t like it at all..
I like that it’s not cluttered and quite stripped back, but it is a bit dull and boring.
Yea it is.
Now I can email my mum and say “See mum, told you. You were wrong about vitamin C! Thanks to Lara Mullen and you 😉
Ah nice. Thanks Dean.
I honestly thought this cover was from 10 years or so ago. I had to double check the date in the post!

Lol..
What a beautiful cover, I love the design so much!
Ah good you do. Many don’t.
I think it looks really dated! Like something from the 70s!! I wouldn’t pick it up and buy it but if I was at the hairdressers I’d probably flick through it!
Yea so dated.
I agree with you. This cover looks very old fashioned to me, and the wording on it just looks all wrong.
True that.
Lol, I’m glad that it wasn’t just me who didn’t have a clue who she was. Not very exciting a cover is it.
Yea too blahh.
