Jennifer Lopez for Vogue US April 2012

UPDATED MARCH 17th 2012: The cover was styled by Tonne Goodman.

UPDATED MARCH 13th 2012: The cover was photographed by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott so it’s NOT by Mario Testino.

The rumour circulating recently that Jennifer Lopez will be gracing the Shape Issue of Vogue US apparently proven to be true. The 42 year old is featured on the April front page of the Anna Wintour edited monthly publication wearing a red Bottega Veneta Spring Summer 2012 dress photographed gorgeously by Mario Testino.

Vogue US is definitely have a thing for ocean because it’s the second cover this year with sea background after the Academy Award winning actress Meryl Streep‘s January issue.

Last year they got at least two covers with ocean as background: Rihanna for April and Charlize Theron for December.

Vogue US 2011 Covers Recap

This year Anna Wintour gave five cover slots to five first timers and I couldn’t be more happier.

Twilight star, Kristen Stewart landed the honour photographed by Mario Testino in Proenza Schouler for her first Vogue cover, the February issue. Lady Gaga was wearing Haider Ackermann for the March cover also by Mario Testino. Flame haired Rihanna was photographed by Annie Leibovitz for April cover in Chanel while Harry Potter alumni, Emma Watson, sporting slick hair, wine stained lips and wearing Prada infamous pailettes dress for the July issue by Mario Testino. The last first timer this year is The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo‘s Rooney Mara, who was wearing Ralph Lauren dragon detailed dress (how suitable!) for November front page image photographed by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, their very first cover job for the magazine.

The seven repeater cover stars are: Natalie Portman by Peter Lindbergh for January; Reese Witherspoon who’s wearing Roland Mouret dress (it’s very suprising because Roland Mouret was a non advertiser for the magazine) also by Peter Lindbergh for May; Penelope Cruz by Mario Testino for June; Sarah Jessica Parker by Mario Testino for August; Kate Moss also by Mario Testino for September; Michelle Williams by Annie Leibovitz for October; and Charlize Theron also by Annie Leibovitz for December issue.

I must say, I liked all the covers from Vogue US this year especially Rihanna, Penelope, Kate, Michelle and Charlize images and I’m really hoping that next year they will not use Sarah Jessica Parker nor Gwyneth Paltrow as their cover stars. Amen. Oh, and could we hope Emma Stone got her first cover next year, Mrs. Wintour?

Yesterday we posted the magazine’s first 2012 front page featuring their oldest cover star, Meryl Streep (62), who was photographed by Annie Leibovitz for her very first Vogue US cover and she really deserved it!
