The Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Complex cover is more than fit for an issue that's aiming to exude summer style traits. The model-turned-actress graces the front cover dressed in her wear-em'-till-labor-day whites and tempts readers with a [sultry lip lick](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lip-color-collection) that only a [Victoria's Secret](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swimwear-redefined) veteran could get away with.

The issue features an interview that extols the virtues of being the newest member of the *Transformers* entourage, growing up as a bull-chased Brit and knowing the difference between high art and pornography. The photo spread has her posing with a rabbit mask that's more *Donnie Darko* than [Playboy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swim-line) bunny, making you wonder if despite the skin-baring shoot, Whiteley's not down for being typecast.

You may have your opinions, but if you pick up the Rosie Huntington-Whiteley June/July Complex magazine, there's no denying that the future sure is looking *Rosie*!
