The [ELLE](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ksubi-by-elle-collection) Februrary 2013 issue marks the return of Sarlett Johansson to the cover, but her photo-op is offbeat and out of the ordinary.

Usually in the new year, magazines opt to make a splash and put sultry covers on the stands, but ELLE has chosen an alternate route. The [celebrated fashion mag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-studded) chose to publish an awkward shot of Scarlett posing in an unconventional manner. There is a sincerity that comes across, as it appears the cover is not calculated and captures a more authentic moment. This ties in well with the all-white styling and ELLE topography, creating a vibe of innocence and integrity. Scarlett is wearing a [Victoria Beckham number](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atelier-victorias-secret) paired with Manolo Blahnik for VB heels.

The ELLE February 2013 issue stands out from the pack and exhibits Scarlett in a flattering light.
