Rosie Huntington-Whiteley took over the December 2011 issue of Harper’s Bazaar in rocking looks for Spring 2012. The model/actress posed in Donna Karan New York, Giorgio Armani and Burberry Prorsum and as well as others. Her editorial had a tribal and striped theme that ranged from cocktail to casual. It’s safe to say pastels will not rule the season. The makeup is dramatic and the beachy hair works with this shoot shot by Greg Kadel.

Lea Michele covers the September 2011 issue of Harper’s Bazaar in a Yves Saint Laurent jumpsuit.  The actress struck an over-the-shoulder pose in the backless halter.  It was white with a metallic neckline that extended into a hanging gold chain in back.  She went sexy for this shoot, and check out the turquoise Gucci look.  This is clearly her “Glee” wardrobe.  The issue hits newsstands on Tuesday, August 16th.

Anne Hathaway covers Harper’s Bazaar for the month of August 2011 in a glamorous Gucci gown.  It was a red dress with a cascade of gorgeous ruffles, and a plunging neckline.  Her editorial was equally fabulous, think of an outrageously opulent Alexander McQueen look with luxurious details and texture in the skirt.  She’s also pictured in a geometric patterned Prada coat, and a marvelously embroidered Miu Miu piece for the subscribers’ issue.  The delight on her face is evident, it’s like playing dress-up for the camera.

Britney Spears covers the June 2011 issue of Harper’s Bazaar in Bill Blass.  The white dress has a low-cut back and peek-a-boo cut-outs, they formed beautiful geometric shapes.  She looks very pretty and polished in this shot.  There’s even a softness to her that stems from the color of her wardrobe, the neutral makeup and her side-swept bangs that fell gently on her face.  A small caption says ‘Britney’s Back,’ and from the look of this cover, I’d say she’s right on track.

Natalia Vodianova covers the Russian issue of Harper’s Bazaar for April 2011.  It is a gorgeous beauty shot with an emphasis on the smoky eye.  She wore a gold satin jacket and accessorized with a gold framed watch.  Her hair is full and textured.  This cover is reminiscent of the 1980′s, a time of glamour and excess.

Arlenis Sosa took to the pages of Harper’s Bazaar Spain for March 2011 in an editorial aptly titled, “La Isla Bonita.”  This was the island beauty on ‘the beautiful island.’  Her wardrobe was pretty fabulous as well.  She donned Jean Paul Gaultier, Versace, Escada, Alaia, Ferragamo and Chanel to name a few for this shoot.  Arlenis has officially ushered in the season with these Spring 2011 collections.  Xevi Muntane captured these gorgeous beach shots for this issue.

Gwyneth Paltrow covers the UK issue of Harper’s Bazaar for March 2011.  This is a gorgeous beauty shot of the actress, her expression is pretty fierce.  The makeup is perfection, especially the dark eyes; they are steel blue and piercing.  To complement that face, she was styled in various animal prints which shows us a sassier side of Gwyneth. 

Nicole Kidman covers the February 2011 issue of Harper’s Bazaar.  The actress posed in a white Diane von Furstenberg halter dress for the magazine’s Spring Fashion publication.  These images embody the lightness and beauty of springtime.  Nicole’s strawberry blond hair is gorgeous under the sunlight in loose curls just below her shoulders.  Inside she was interviewed by fellow actress Jennifer Aniston, which is reason enough to pick up a copy.  This issue will be on newsstands on Tuesday, January 18th.

Lily Donaldson is on the cover of the January 2011 subscriber issue of Harper’s Bazaar.  The model is wearing a bold leopard print dress with inlays of peek-a-boo black lace from Dolce & Gabbana’s Spring 2011 collection.  Lily poses with a baby leopard whose fur fully complements her dress.  Photographer Terry Richardson captured the cover shot which is very glamorous; from its animal instincts theme, down to her curly gold locks and painted red lips.  The January 2011 newsstand issue features actress Julianna Margulies on the cover, Donaldson only appears on subscribers issue received in the mail.

Emily Blunt covers the January 2011 UK issue of Harper’s Bazaar in Tom Ford.  The cobalt blue dress has furry fringes throughout, including the bodice and sleeves and has a great fit.  It’s extremely editorial and an obvious choice for the cover, especially in front of a sky blue background.  The dress is  from Ford’s Spring 2011 collection.  Bold red lips, neutral eyes and strong brows were used to complement the avant garde nature of her look.  Photographer Paola Kudacki was behind the lense for the shoot, and it took on an earthy element.  Each refined piece worn by the actress was beautifully highlighted by the rocks and other elements present in nature.
