New York, February 17–24, Spring Fashion
"In a stunning cover for New York’s “Spring Fashion” issue, Erik Madigan Heck created a wall-to-wall effect with the red and white floral pattern on Lupita Nyong’o’s Stella McCartney dress and a coordinated background. Nyong’o is no wallflower, seeming to pop right out of this inventive and stylish cover."
I like how Nyong'o's dress matches the background, it allows her to stand out. The use of makeup with similar tones gives it some balance but also draws the viewers eye towards her face. The lighting in the picture illuminates Nyong'o, making her stand out while looking gorgeous. However, she looks lighter than she actually is, which kind of upsets me because the cover is trying to appeal to European beauty standards, when she, in her natural state, is well beyond those standards.
