Natalia is too classy to be doing a cover like this. I don’t like it. She is beautiful but this concept is so boring and played out. Over it.

yes it does and she does it in a classic way without it looking trashy:D

Classy vs unclassy is played out. Who cares, nudity on magazine covers is awesome.

that’s enough Natalia
we get it, you’ve had kids and you still have a hot body
can we find a newer hot girl to exploit the body of?

I, for one, never tire of naked bodies.

don’t care if it’s not way original. Natalia’s amazzzing!going to buy this one just for the pure fun of it

This is both a clever cover and a clever trick.
Most hot celebrities end up naked on covers at a certain point, and the fact that there’s a fully naked model on the cover of Vogue only confirms that the model sometimes means more to fashion that the outfits they wear.

I wish I had the answer to that question Kim. Probably something to do with censorship.

Every cover in the world should be naked.

Yawn. What is it with UK Vogue and garish cover lines and colors?
May 6th, 2009

I don’t like it. It’s boring. And I don’t like her that much as a model…

I’m ashamed to be british when this is our vogue cover.
I’m sorry but Sasha, Natalia’s fellow. russian model looks AMAZING in her Vogue Italia cover this month. Whereas Natalia looks cheap.
British Vogue is no longer a fashion magazine. It’s a women’s lifestyle magazine.

huahaua… she has a perfect body… I love Natalia!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She looks pretty and there is no problem in showing her body in artistic and not pornographic way..

true, i somehow really dont like it, natalia does have one of the hottest bodies and faces, but still i dont think it suits her doing such covers..
and i also dont understand why some people think tat nudity is gr8 on many magazines..
and this months vogue uk cover could hav been done in a different and a better way than this one, this kind of cover looks very common.. i think..

i agree james, why throw your colthes to sell magazines. British vogue is desperate..
whats happening to the world.. argh!

Beautiful but what a chaste pose, and the cover design is just awful.
Nothing wrong with nudity, I sincerely hope we’ll see the day when people don’t have a complete meltdown because of a visible nipple, I mean imagine a topless man on a magazine cover wouldn’t that be beautiful? Oh wait.. right, that’s ok, but somehow a woman isn’t?

her left boob has a bad case of photoshop

Natalia is wonderful! And she has 3 children with this flawless body! This is amazing!

There is too much text for this to be an iconic cover – which it had the potential to be. Also, it is Vogue, which is about fashion – this cover does not sell fashion. I don’t need a magazine to tell me to be naked.

Oooh, a naked woman on the cover of a magazine. How risque of Alex Shulman! The only Vogue that gets it right is Italia followed by French. At least UK Vogue is consistent…consistently bad.

Lowest common denominator.
And photoshop makes this fake.
Too bad – what a serious lack of imagination.
Unbecoming of Vogue…where is the fashion ?

Like the face, but the pose sucks! She has no neck

without any clothes and its called a fashion magazine
thats pretty ironic

Personally, I’m not too mad about nude covers,one of the main reasons why I buy Vogue is because I like clothes, but what really gets me about this cover is that Natalia Vodianova (who I think is an amazing model) doesn’t really look that great in it.
I much prefer the cover of the H&M supplement with Jourdan Dunn.

No designer wants to rent clothes to British Vogue? Look like a Men’s magazine.

An iconic woman, one in a billion…
Pretty amazing after three children.
She is an icon, the magazine will sell out without
any clothing on the cover…Only a curtain face, body
and image will do that… Thats the Genius of Testino and
the collaberation and trust of an amazing model.

I’m agree totally with Seth Sabal
both, photographer and model in this job it’s amazing
