Carly Rae Jepsen for Fashion Magazine

Posted on Aug 30, 2012 in Fashion

Everyone’s been talking about this cover, and with good reason.

‘Call Me Maybe’ singer Carly Jae Jepsen covers the October 2012 issue of Fashion magazine photographed by Gabor Jurina and styled by Zeina Esmail. Hair & Makeup: Anna Nenoiu. On the cover Carly Rae wears an Alexander McQueen dress, Christian Louboutin heels and Rita Tesolin earrings.

She looks pretty spectacular. Preternaturally smooth and sculpted in that magazine-cover way, of course (total Barbie knees), but we’re talking more about the styling. That is so her dress, and pairing those shoes with it was a sharp and clever choice. It’s a great, model-y kind of shot.

Inside, things go a little more standard in the non-model mode of editorial; smiling at the camera and such.

We can’t really credit her with superior modeling skills but she’s very pretty – and the clothes are interesting, at least.

Gosh, great cover. Interesting looking young woman. Dare I say it, she’s reminding me ever so slightly of a very young Carly (Simon, that is). Am I nuts?
- Clueless_Jock
  
  Yes, Carly Simon. Definitely.
- JMansm
  
  I agree that she does look like Carly Simon. Also, when she sang her own kind of folky music when she competed on Canadian Idol she also SOUNDED like Carly Simon – but now, alas, she does the whole commercial pop thing and all that is gone.

    She actually said that Call Me Maybe was originally a folk song and she kind of changed it into pop. Probably not an improvement…
    - NC_Meg
      
      I think I want to hear the folk version of that song. I want to know how that works.

        My boyfriend plays in an old timey band and I wish that he even remotely enjoyed this song (he hates it) because I would love it if they covered it.

  Alyce1213, I was just going to type Carly Simon’s newly discovered love child!

  Definite resemblance, I think it’s a similar mouth shape.

  I totally think she looks like Carly simon, I said it to my daughter as soon as I saw the younger Carly, I grew up listening to the older Carly.

The cover is really good. And I love the feather dress in large part because it’s so interesting!

And I have to admit that her song has worn down my resistance, and I’m starting to like it. {GASP}

  Me too, against my will. But it’s not too bad, you know. Very catchy and musical.

    It’s a perfect pop song, catchy, nice bridge, innocuous lyrics, get stuck in your head with alarming regularity. Even though I’m not a huge pop music fan, I hear it constantly, what with all the short drunk people in my house, and this one I’ve yet to tire of.
    
    Don’t ask me about that damned Gotye song, though.
    - alyce1213
      
      “that damned Gotye song”
      
      *Vomits*

        I have SUCH immense hatred for that damn Gotye song. Thinking about it makes me cringe!
    - turtleemily
      
      For me, it’s “We Are Young” that I’d be perfectly happy to never hear again.

        Whenever that comes on, I always wish I was listening to Love is a Battlefield instead.
- SapphoPoet
  
  Yeah, I’m not into pop, but it’s very catchy with a good tune. And the video is all kinds of cute.

Check Cookie Monster’s (of Sesame Street) remake of her song – both adorable & hilarious – on You Tube.
- DeborahJozayt
  
  But me like COOKIES! So share it, maybe?
kimmeister

She looks like a brunette Taylor Swift.
- Allyson Wells
  
  YES I was racking my brain trying to think who she looks like, and that’s it- Taylor with brown hair!
- lchopalong
  
  Haha. I should read the comments before putting my own out there.
Le_Sigh

Oh thank god, she’s not dressed like a tweenage Disney pop princess fetus! Love that cover shot.

Loving her hair!
And the green dress is terrific.
The coque feather dress is impractical as hell, but great looking.
Eva_baby

Really good cover. I like hers better than the InStyle J.Lo. one.

disco ball harness vest? a MUST for pop tarts everywhere. go on with your feathered, spangled self, lil miss jepsen!

What is with her and the squatting poses? First for that won’t go away Maybe song and now this?
- LesYeuxHiboux
  
  I get the feeling they don’t know what to do with her because she’s not super curvy. I just wish she didn’t have to be.
jenno1013

I can’t support the eye makeup. The heavy shadow/mascara under her eyes draws too much of a line across her long face. Or maybe it’s the fair skin. When Cathy Cambridge wears this much liner, I don’t twitch, but Carly’s raccoon eyes don’t work for me somehow. But great dress and shoes and her song is a pop jewel.
lchopalong

Edgy Taylor Swift.
mjude

very cute.
butterflysunita

I do love the dress and shoes together in the cover shot.
- SewingSiren
  
  Me too.

Jessica Biel’s younger, prettier sister.

Daisy Lowe’s baby sister.

Love the feather dress.

I don’t know. To me she looks very, for lack of a better description, vacant on that cover.
Monabel

If I had the feather dress, I COULD sing the role of Papagena!
leftcoastpickle

She needs a “smize” lesson, she’s looking all “dead in the eyes” as Tyra Banks would say. How old is she? She looks about fourteen to me.
- BerlinerNYC
  
  She’s 26 or so.
SapphoPoet

Marvelous cover shot. She should get that green dress.
http://www.facebook.com/heathermcouch Heather Couch

I think the eyeliner is a bit heavy for her. It looks kind of jarring against her uber-pale skin.
BigWhiteGrannyPanties

I’m noticing the writing on the cover more than her. WTF is $130,000 nail polish? What’s it made of, gold minks from Mars?
- VictoriaDiNardo
  
  Yes…but remember, it’s in Canadian dollars! ; )
- NC_Meg
  
  Ok, I had to Google it. It’s just gold (in color, not actual gold) polish but the bottle is encrusted in diamonds. You can get the same thing sans diamonds for $7.80. So the $130K is basically for diamonds. If I’m spending that much on diamonds, they’re sure as hell not going to be on a bottle of nail polish.

LOVE that cover and the black feathered dress picture. If she wants to branch out her look/personality from “cute girl next door” this is a great start.

this reminds me a little bit of her pose on the cover of her single, call me maybe. she’s a cutie.

I hate that song so I have no goodwill for her.
- charlotte
  
  Thank you! Everybody says it’s catchy, but I can’t stand it.
  - http://gabyrippling.tumblr.com/ Gabriella M
    
    Catchy in this scenario means simplistic and saccharine. I’m pretty sure the song doesn’t even span an octave.
    - http://profiles.google.com/ameliaheartsu Amelia Logan
      
      I would guess 1.5 octaves, the chorus is higher than the verse.
http://twitter.com/amndad amanda lynn

oh, that feather dress is so cute!

I think the last dress is made with chicken feathers, a breed called an Australorp has those beautiful green-black colors

Boring.
PhillipWilde

The cover is very pretty, but I am dying for that raven feather dress.
