Marion Cotillard is on the cover of U.S. Vogue’s July 2010 issue.  The French actress is both glamorous and regal in her purple Dior dress.  Fashion photographer Mario Testino shot the cover in the South of France, and the purple dress is reminiscent of the bold burgundy wines from that region.  Cotillard talks movies and her character inspirations in the magazine interview.  She also credits her Oscar-winning performance in  La Vie en Rose with opening many doors and creating great career opportunities.

Eva Mendes is pin-up girl sexy on her July 2010 W magazine cover.  Her red lips and corset style halter dress brought the heat to the cover.  Photographers Mert & Marcus captured the tantalizing image that takes us back to a Caribbean island.  A wave of vivid color overtakes your senses and transports you to location.  A bit  of fall 2010 was sprinkled into the shoot, Eva’s blue and white plaid dress is from Prada’s fall collection.  The actress talks motherhood, career and those super hot Calvin Klein ads to W.  July has yet another reason onto be hot.

Rihanna covers the July issue of Elle magazine.  The singer wears a gold and purple sequin mini dress that looks to be from Balmain’s fall 2010 collection.  Her cover was shot by photographer Tom Munro.  She opens up about her music, her thoughts on fashion, new love and past troubles.  Regarding her album art she states, “[I] wanted pictures that represented strength and fearlessness but still femininity—a strong woman who can be vulnerable.  Every woman is made up of vulnerability and strength; no matter what race you are, no matter what you’ve been through in your life.  Every woman has that strength that is undeniable, but we also have really big hearts.  It’s just us.”  Those are very empowering words from a 22-year old who has experienced so much in the last year.  Be sure to pick up your copy when it hits newsstands on Tuesday, June 15th. 

Halle Berry is being mentioned as the face to cover the famed September issue of Vogue this year.  The September issue is the most coveted issue and thus the most desired cover.  That would be a major fashion coup for the Academy Award winning actress.  Naomi Campbell was the first black woman to grace that particular issue back in 1989, and it appears Berry will be the next.  Her movie Frankie and Alice will also premiere in the fall just in time for her cover appearance.  It would not be surprising to see it become a collector’s item for the fellas as well as the ladies.

Jessica Biel is on the cover of Glamour magazine’s July issue.  The actress turns up the heat in her white DSquared top and silver Versace mini skirt.  Fashion photographer Matthias Vreins-McGrath shot the sexy cover.  Biels talks bargains, exercise tips and movies in the interview, but remains silent on her relationship with singer Justin Timberlake.  She describes herself as a “[r]omantic adrenaline junkie…” when she talks about her summer blockbuster film The A-Team.  The movie hits theaters on June 11th.
