For its February cover, the Fashion Bible (Vogue) made the controversial choice to feature Gossip Girl starlet, Blake Lively. Lucky bish! Vogue spokesman Patrick O’Connell, explained the choice by saying, “She’s the girl of the moment who also has a hit show that people watch as much for the fashion as for the show itself.”
Not everyone is as excited about it as Patrick. There are mumblings that Vogue is “stooping” to put an up and comer like Blake in such a prestigious position, while some guess that they are doing whatever they can to stay relevant amidst the folding of many magazines in recent months. 
I can say that Blake looks absolutely ravishing on the cover...I hardly recognized her. According to Anna Wintour, they opted to give Blake “a makeover that transformed the sporty all-American girl into a polished bombshell.” Well done. I love the styling of this shoot! The cuff on the cover is divine, and I'm also feeling the retro vibe of both the jumpsuit and the bathing suit.
In other news, LeBron James is looking all kinds of yummy on the cover of February's GQ. He's only 24? My goodness, give him a few more years to marinate and he will be fully seasoned and ready for devouring! Posing in a slate grey suit, pink shirt and grey tie, this was LeBron's first cover for GQ. He was also the first black male to ever appear on the cover of Vogue. Take that, Blake Lively!
