Summer really heated up this August with sizzling magazine covers and haute models! MyFDB breaks down which publications sizzled and fizzed during this hot summer month.

Best Covers

First up we have a stunning Vogue Paris cover from Inez & Vinoodh featuring Lara Stone‘s intense gaze as an airplane zooms behind her.

Then LOVE showed Stone it’s okay to cry with two tears running down her face.

Elle UK‘s cover had us doing a double-take with Lily Allen, who could pass for Crystal Renn’s doppleganger.

Zoe Saldana totally FLAUNTed it for the mag’s cover in a nude body suit.

Angela Lindvall brought some family values to Numero Toyko in a short green frock.

Meanwhile, Samantha Gradoville looked seriously seductive on the cover of Numero.

Worst Covers

Kim Kardashian covers Cosmopolitan in a dull shot that’s hardly flattering or sexy.

GQ British tapped Charlie Sheen for their cover, but it was all a tease as they failed to provide a solid corresponding editorial.

i-D magazine turned sweet Behati Prinsloo into a scary heavy metal machine.

We’re not sure what the story is behind W‘s cover, but Tilda Swinton isn’t making us want to flip through the mag.

We really do like gorgeous Freida Pinto’s Interview cover, we’re just not impressed because it’s practically identical to the mag’s cover with Tom Ford.

Instead of taking her photo Dazed & Confused opted for an illustrated shot of Bjork, who serves as the publication’s guest editor.
