NOT loving the color or the first show shown… look too forced. But the rest of them are very beautiful

I love Michelle but she doesn’t look like Marilyn at all…

I’m sorry but she only looked cute in one shot… maybe two if you count the one of her backside. Really wanted to like this. Bummer.

Her nose looks weird on the cover. The two shots in the middle are also awkward.

Agree with Anapalron – not at all. And Kittenmasks – the symmertry of MM is not there at all.

This disappoints me because I love Michelle, I think she is a great actress and seems like a lovely woman, but this ed really failed to capture Marilyn’s attitude. For the most part the outcome is stale and tries too hard, I would have liked to see this shot by someone other than Leibovitz.

I love Michelle Williams, but this hackneyed attempt to reimagine Monroe is awful/risible/desperate… and, yes, that just about exhausts my arsenal of adjectives for ‘This is Sh*t’.

These really aren’t good the posing and expression looks horrible.

The one after the jump looks a lot like Marilyn Monroe, otherwise all of them are off and she looks horrible.

<3 Michelle, but she's not the right candidate for this look. She looks really uncomfortable in the cover shot.

she lacks the Je Ne Sais Quoi! It’s more QUOI?
