InStyle
Priyanka Chopra is perfectly styled in a mermaid-esque Gucci ensemble with wet-looking hair to match.

It's a welcome change to see fresh face Eva Green on a glossy cover. That said, it's a pretty forgettable and frill-free shot.
ELLE UK
Fans voted via social media for this particular shot of Ysaunny Brito, Bhumika Arora, Sofie Hemmet and Maggie Jablonski and they did a great job. Let's hope that this blueprint for racial diversity is a sign of things to come.
Allure
A surprisingly low-key makeup look from Kylie Jenner.
Glamour
Is this a fashion magazine cover or Delia's catalog? And don't even get us started on that white zipper.
LOVE
This looks like it was shot using Instagram and a way-too-bright filter.
Harper's Bazaar Australia
She may look like a plastic mannequin, but Bella Hadid does know how to work the deadpan stare — and a Chanel dress.
Town & Country
Diane Kruger always kills it fashion-wise and it’s no different here. She looks ready to fly Amelia Earhart style in a Gucci floral embroidered bomber jacket and a high-neck dress.
Teen Vogue
It's nice to see Teen Vogue take a break from the expected and feature U.S. Olympians Gabby Douglas and Simone Biles. Photographed wearing Nike and GK Elite Sportswear pieces, their inspirationally strong bodies are perfect role models for discipline and hard work.
Harper's Bazaar
Cluttered and tacky, Gwen Stefani looks like ill-conceived Christmas decor.
Cosmopolitan
Gorgeous, curvy model Ashley Graham kills it in a satin-paneled bodysuit.
ELLE
FKA twigs may be wearing Prada, but she looks like she was haphazardly styled in the dark.
Marie Claire
Amy Schumer works her sexy in La Perla. While it's nice to have a "movement" shot and it's great to see Marie Claire embrace Amy's sexy side, the cover could have arguably benefited from the comedian actually looking into the camera.
Vogue Germany
Five models were featured on separate Vogue Germany covers this month: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Lily Aldridge, Irina Shayk, Emily Ratajkowski and Stella Maxwell. The styling was harmonious and it's impossible to pick a favorite. The only criticism is that the textured background gives a fall feel to the summer issue.
Vogue Japan
Styled by Anna Dello Russo, it’s fitting that Irina Shayk looks like street style fodder. Unfortunately, this look is neither wearable, enviable or summer-appropriate.
Vogue Paris
Luna Bijl stuns in pink Gucci fur and oversized 80s earrings. The mag gets brownie points for 80s styling that's over-the-top enough to actually work...so much so that you almost forget the up-and-coming model is wearing fur for August.
Vanity Fair
It may not go down in the books as a groundbreaking shot, but it's an undeniably gorgeous beach shot of Margot Robbie.
ELLE Russia
Hard to believe, but this isn't the cover of an 80s teen magazine.
Vogue
While it would have been nice to see an actual athlete alongside Olympic athlete Ashton Eaton, Gigi Hadid does a solid job filling in.
British Vogue
Alicia Vikander is the epitome of beachside glam in Louis Vuitton.
August was one of the best months in a long while for diversity — both in terms of race and body shape/size. Ashley Graham continued to kill it with a Cosmopolitan cover. Ditto for Amy Schumer on Marie Claire. FKA twigs, a handful of Olympic athletes and fresh faces like Eva Green, Luna Bijl and Priyanka Chopra also made welcome appearances. We weren’t immune to trite covers from Gwen Stefani and Kylie Jenner and there were some low Prada-styled moments, but as a whole August turned out to be one of the most delightful months for glossy magazines. Bonus: This month had enough glamorous beach shots to make us almost forget about the insane humidity. Here’s a look at all the standout August 2016 magazine covers.
