Doing her modern day version of Demi Moore, mama-to-be Christina Aguilera is half naked on the January 08 cover of Marie Claire with her sporty leather jacket, and in the mag is buck naked in heels. Now, I'm a Christina fan. I love her talent, flair, and panache but honestly, I don't know what to think about this cover and layout. Maybe my old fashioned self is coming out more. Some may love it, and some may hate it.
First, I'm all for the idea of promoting the image that during pregnancy women can still be sexy and fashionable. But, do you have to pose half naked in leather on a magazine cover to communicate that message? I don't think so. Demi's cover seemed more natural to me while this one seems more posed and overly flashy which is Christina's style but we've seen her in tamer yet sexy things.
Also, why do this cover for Marie Claire? MC is a good mag, I'm just wondering why Ms. A thought Marie Claire was the place to splash her pregnant self. I'm sure ANY magazine would have loved to get naked pregnant Christina as their cover girl. Is it because Demi did Vanity Fair, and Britney did Bazaar, so let's pick something new?
So, what do you all think of this cover?
