Harper’s Bazaar showcased ‘Summer’s Sexiest Looks’ in their July 2009 issue with the help of cover model Doutzen Kroes and photographer Terry Richardson.
Doutzen Kroes turns on the heat in the pages of the magazine with seductive dresses flaunting sultry silhouettes.
Doutzen Kroes is the cover star of the subscriber’s edition of the July issue. The version that will hit the stands features a paparazzi shot of Angelina Jolie. This has infuriated most fashion bloggers who, understandably, believe this is selling out. The issue does not feature an Angelina Jolie shoot, so using a paparazzi shot of her on the cover seems a bit tabloidish.
