The Grazia Australia cover featuring Miranda Kerr made up as a superhero has been awarded the 2012 Magazine Cover of the Year at this year’s Maggie Awards because of course it did. Putting the Bing.com-friendly Victoria’s Secret organics guru in custom-made Alex Perry unitard with Australian flag stretched in her arms like a bedsheet has the award-winning combination of sequined sexuality, Wonder Woman nerd-boner, female empowerment and Aussie pride that appeals to all and offends none. It’s a cover concept that was destined to be reblogged multiple times and probably jerked off to – a brilliant decision by Grazia (unlike its questionable men’s spinoff, launched this week).
Here it is, the Magazine Cover of the Year, shot by Chris Colls and styled by Thelma McQuillan.
