COSMO GIRLS
Cosmopolitan has a long history of introducing the world to some of modelling’s most iconic names
1976
JERRY HALL The year after she was on the cover of Roxy Music’s Siren album dressed as a mermaid, she appeared on this Cosmopolitan cover. Which outfit is better: the mermaid tail or this? Discuss.
1985
LINDA EVANGELISTA This was the first of several Cosmopolitan covers for Evangelista. Yet it was only when she cut her hair into her signature pixie cut that she became a global star. Yep, we saw the potential even set against this ’80s crimped ‘power’ bob.
2017
ASHLEY GRAHAM Yes, Graham was an outspoken supermodel before she appeared on our cover, but this was the first major cover to show Graham’s body in all its curvy glory.
1979
JANICE DICKINSON Before the surgery, the sex addiction and the reality show, Dickinson was (in her words) the ‘original supermodel’, a term she says she coined the year this cover came out. If you say so, Janice.
1993
KATE MOSS Way before she became a professional style icon and the most successful model of all time, Kate Moss graced what is arguably Cosmopolitan’s pinkest cover. The jury’s still out as to whether this was the inspiration for her perennial Glastonbury wardrobe.
