Drake Covers GQ's First Ever "Style Bible" Issue

I have seen a number of men on the cover of GQ magazine that ooze sex appeal and style. I am perplexed at the fact GQ editors have decided that Drake is an appropriate candidate for the cover of their first ever "Style Bible" issue. How on earth does one put someone who has not an ounce of style on the cover of an issue that is dedicated to style? I just dont' understand. Yes you can dress him up in a suit and put on shoes that need to be shined and may not have laces...but merely being on the cover does not give one style.

No tea no shade but I think this was a piss poor and lazy decision on the part of GQ editors.

Couture Cover: Ameriie Covers Sheen Magazine

Nope they aren't pics of me, but one of my fave famous doppelgangers Amerie. I refuse to put the extra "i" in her name because I think it's absolutely ridiculous. She could have found other ways to re brand herself, but I digress.

She looks absolutely amazing on the cover of Sheen magazine and on the photos inside. Take a look! I'm totally channeling Amerie these days now that I have purchased longer locks until mine grows back (even though she just cut her hair) but I won't die mine jet black. going to rock my dirty reddish brown locks...until I get bored ;)

Couture Du Jour: Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow looks absolutely amazing in this Harper's Bazaar shoot. Looks like she's trying to take over the sexy shoots Beyonce was doing before baby Blue arrived. I'm sure she was channeling her inner Beyonce as she was working this shoot. Yoga and pilates are doing her body good!

Queen Latifah looks regal and elegant as she graces the January 2012 cover of Essence magazine. Her hair and makeup is always flawless. Every time I see her face I see the work of the amazing Sam Fine. He's done it again!

Kelly Rowland Covers Marie Claire January 2012 Issue

Kelly Rowland is on the cover of the January 2012 issue for Marie Claire. I'm loving this spread. She has been slaying all of her photo shoots lately. And her released singles aren't that bad. Not too shabby for 2011 if I do say so myself.

Chanel Iman has graced the cover of the latest Wall Street Journal Magazine looking nothing short of amazing. It still baffles me that she just turned 21 last week. Oh the things young women of color accomplish these days. I love it!

Eva Marcille for VIBE Magazine

Eva Marcille looks abosolutely amazing (but then again when doesn't she) in her most recent spread where she graces the pages of VIBE Magazine. I can't help but look at her and say in my B. Scott voice "bitch hold my ponytail".

The stunning and exotic royal Thandie Newton graces the most recent cover of In Style UK magazine. While I'm not as in love with the cover, I am absolutely obsessed with the spread inside the magazine.

Couture Cover: Olivia Palermo for Haute Muse

Olivia Palermo looks amazing on the cover of Haute Muse magazine, a new publication out of Qatar. The magazine will only be published 4 times a year. For more information on the magazine or to pre-order click here. Loving her hair and makeup as usual. Simple and elegant, yet always ultra chic. 

Here is a behind the scenes video of Olivia shooting for the magazine.

Couture Cover: Keri Hilson Vibe Magazine

Keri Hilson is in major promotion mode as she gears up for the release of her new album No Boys Allowed. Here she graces the December/January 2010 cover of Vibe Magazine which hits stands this Tuesday November 30. I think she looks absolutely amazing.

Couture Cover: Lady Gaga on Vanity Fair September 2010

I'm not a huge fan of Lady Gaga music or her avant garde fashion sense, but I can always appreciate someone that is different. My father always said "dare to be different" and different she is!

Lady Gaga graces the cover of the September issue of Vanity Fair and need I say...I actually like it. I feel like for once I can really see her face. Some may say its rather plain, but the monochromatic feel of the photo makes her stand out even more to me. She looks like an ice queen and I love it. Very couture.
