W, Sept. 2011: "The Fashion Issue"
(Photograph by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott)

For W's biggest fashion issue of the year, the magazine celebrated the ways women today transform themselves by showcasing actress Kristen Stewart as readers had never seen her before. Photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot transformed the 21-year-old cover model from the Twilight teenager that audiences know best into the glamorous, grown-up vixen she's becoming. "Vampires are a little dangerous—and we girls like to test ourselves," Stewart says playfully on the cover, tempting readers to pick up the issue and see for themselves.


This cover was really one of the best covers of 2012. Like it says on the cover, Kristen Stewart really does open up. I liked this cover because when saw it, it did NOT even look like the Kristen Stewart that everybody knows. Honestly she looks really pretty. The way the photographer made her pose was good because it made her look different. The lighting was also good, it brought up her skin color. Also the way they dressed her was pretty.
