I think it is fair to say that Vogue US hasn't had a decent cover in quite a while. After all, look at all the fuss stirred up by its April cover, starring LeBron James and Gisele Bundchen. For the latest May issue, Anna Wintour has chosen Gwyneth Paltrow, perhaps in the hope of redeeming herself.
Photographed by Mario Testino, Paltrow is wearing a gown from Oscar de la Renta's pre-fall '08 collection. A helmet from her latest film, Iron Man, has also been sneaked in for a bit of extra movie promotion.
The last time Wintour promoted a movie on her cover was in September '06 when Kirsten Dunst posed for her flick Marie Antoinette.

There's been a fairly strong reaction to Gwyneth Paltrow's May cover for US Vogue. Criticism ranges from mere helmut-hair jokes to the more scathing message board comments such as: "What Anna Wintour needed to do was put that mask on Fishsticks. It would have saved hours in airbrushing time."
The cover is one thing, but you may wish to reserve judgement until you see the rest of the pics

And then tell us: what do you think of Gwyneth's Vogue spread?
