Fall in Love: the February 2013 Magazine Covers Are Here (New!)

There's a definite sense of romance in some of the February magazine covers that have been released so far.

There's a definite sense of romance in some of the February magazine covers that have been released so far. Love's black and white shots of Cara Delevingne and Edie Campbell, for example, are used for the magazine's "Clean Issue," while Vanity Fair's picture of Jennifer Lawrence biting a daisy is underpinned by a declaration that the actress is the "world's most desirable woman."

That celebration of youth and beauty will undoubtedly continue as stars like Lawrence and Anne Hathaway (who covers February's issue of Harper's Bazaar UK) head down the many red carpets of awards season. But don't count out the models: Constance Jablonski is adorned with purple and white flowers on the cover of Vogue China, and Anja Rubik's clean and simple cover of Elle UK is no less striking.

The "Sexiest" Calendar Girls and Guys of 2013

When it comes to what's deemed "sexy," to each his or her own.

When it comes to what's deemed "sexy," to each his or her own. And never is this more evident than in the world of sexy pinup calendars. Sure, most of the more ridiculous (like "manure girls") are purposefully cheeky and often used to raise money for a cause or group. But some of the bizarre calendars out there may be taken seriously by those hanging them in their homes or (more likely) garages. As we all look for that special calendar to get our 2013 started right, take a look at the "sexiest" and strangest calendars of the year.

So Far, January's Covers Do Not Disappoint

This was a big year for Jessica Chastain, but judging by the January covers that are starting to trickle in, 2013 might be even better.
January 2013 Fashion Magazine Covers | Pictures

This was a big year for Jessica Chastain, but judging by the January covers that are starting to trickle in, 2013 might be even better.

The flame-haired actress and face of Yves Saint Laurent's Manifesto graces a lion's share of glossies this month. While all are striking, the very best of them are the four from W created by four separate artists. Each is fantastic in its own right, and each lets Chastain's chameleon appeal shine.

But even if Chastain steals the show with W, that doesn't mean there aren't a few supermodels vying to give the actress a run for her money. Kate Upton on Vogue UK looks as lush as can be, while Carolyn Murphy on Vogue Australia is a sunny blast of fresh air that feels particularly welcome in this hemisphere.
