VERDICT: David Beckham Is First Man On 'Elle' July Cover...

Notably making fashion history, iconic football player David Beckham is the first man to grace the July cover of Elle magazine. 


In spite of its significance, however, the cover leaves a lot to be desired. While the background's colour palate is a perfect choice, David's pose is awkward and stilted, with the result being suited more to an ad for H&M, rather than the cover of a fashion bible.


Additionally, the styling is sub-par. A v-necked long-sleeve shirt would have been a better choice, especially as it would have covered up the extensively revealed tattoos. 


All in all, not David's best shot, and far and away from his best cover.




VERDICT: 5.12/10

Above is an outtake from David Beckham's historic shoot for the July cover of ELLE magazine.


While it is an improvement on the travesty that is the actual cover, once again the pose is awkward, stilted and implies a lack of motion; something that is necessary for shots like these. The styling of the hair is also (ironically) not cutting it.


Maybe next time, David.
