Doutzen Kroes Covers Harper’s Bazaar Magazine
June 23, 2009 in Doutzen Kroes, Hot Models by Versus
Here’s a pretty treat: Victoria’s Secret Angel Doutzen Kroes in Harper’s Bazaar!
Doutzen isn’t wearing tiny bikinis or sexy lingerie this time – in this shoot, Doutzen is wearing fabulously stylish outfits and is trying out more high-fashion poses. So do you think she’s doing a great job?
As much as I like this girl, it’s true that she never closes her lips!
Much more pictures on the second page!

She looks stunning, great body. great outfits!
Not sure about the mouth pout; reminds me of a bratz doll!
WOW loads of magazine covers today! Thanks for posting the pics of the lovely MissDK…
I read somewhere that the photographer for this cover/editorial is Terry Richardson. I’m glad that this particular pics with Doutzen is decent cause Terry is DIRTY. Look at his previous works and the recent Pirelli calendar lol.
Also, i’ve never seen Doutzen closed her lips whether it’s for an ad campaign, magazine editorial or cover! Doutzen learn how to close your big lips for a change!
Seriously, I feel bad b/c I am always bitching about that. She looks amazing, but Doutzen, close your mouth!
I love doutzen and think she is so insanely gorgeous but I just don’t see a high fashion model.
When I think high fashion I think Gisele. She may not be a natural beauty to some people but to me she is everything a supermodel is suppose to be.
Well Doutzen used to be a real high fashion model before joining the tacky and cheap VS! IMO, she’s still a bit high fashion until now cause she’s still a regular on Vogue covers/editorials and still has ads for a not so commercial brands…
I agree, and I am not questioning wether she is a high fashionmodel or not, I just don’t think she looks like one. And yes, how do a high fashion model look like, and I can’t answer that, I just know one when I see one. Like for me, gisele.
I don’t see her as high fashion either. Her facial features are definitely more commercial. When I think of high fashion I don’t necessarily think of someone beautiful, I think of someone striking and unusual. I think of someone very androgynous, edgy or unique in one way or another. I think of someone who is so versatile they can portray a variety of things: ferocity and docility, sultriness and innocence, and they can give the air of being aloof as well as giving the impression that they are friendly and approachable. (I mean that they can do both in different photoshoots: not both at the same time.) In my opinion, Doutzen does not appear to have that ability. For me, she always has the same expression on her face. She’s a beautiful woman, no doubt, but I do not think she has that special talent or the face for high fashion.
If she’s not that versatile of a model, why she’s still getting jobs for some hifashion or commercial stuffs… why also she’s a regular on the covers/editorials for Vogue or other highfashion magazines… why also companies put her billboards on the streets of NewYork…
To each his own, but i believe Doutzen won’t get this far if she is NOT versatile or just plain boring!
I will never understand why people get so defensive about someone they have never even met in their life and probably never will.
I never said she did not get high fashion jobs, I said it is my OPINION that she does not have the talent or the typical face for it. Even wikipedia says this about models:
Many high fashion models have what could be called ‘quirky’ attributes and memorably unusual faces. High end brands often use these unusual faces as people are likely to remember their brand name and associate it with an interesting face.
And I simply don’t think Doutzen has a ‘quirky’ face. I never said she was boring. Usually non-high fashion (commercial) faces are the types of faces that appeal to the masses because they are more conventionally beautiful/sexy. i.e. Big eyes, small perky nose, plump lips. Just like Doutzen.
If you think she is versatile, can you show me photos of where she displays the states I mentioned before? i.e. not just looking at the camera with her mouth open? Can you find a photoshoot where she looks different in every picture?
You are so right. I mean i really like how Doutzen looks, but you are right that she is many time espresionless. And the only thing she seems to do is keep her mouth opened – just like Bar, who is equally extremely attractive and beautiful, but again, not very expressive. Eva Hertzigova just popped up in my mind as completely opposite. Or Giselle who has way more intriguing photoshoots, even though technicaly she is not as pretty as Doutzen or Bar.
That’s your opinion and you’re entitled to it! If you want to see edgy pictures of Doutzen, you can check bellazon or tfs. There you can see the very beginning of Doutzen’s career, and how far she’s gone in terms of career.
She aint your regular commercial model!
in a previous article where doutzen was posing with alessandra, some people were calling doutzen ‘moon-faced’, ‘chubby’ and even ‘fat’ if i remember correctly. if this gorgeous, slim model is what they consider fat, i shudder to think whom they consider to be average-figured or thin. doutzen looks incredibly gorgeous here but i agree with versus. she needs to close her mouth.
LOL
Criticisms are plain natural when it comes to Doutzen threads. Her fans at different fashion sites are always at war saying Doutzen is fat, too muscular, boring, and has gone downhill and tacky since becoming a VS angel.
Poor girl, most of her fans are very hard to please, selfish and rude!
the people insulting doutzen or her ‘fans’ as you call them (though i’d call them ‘former fans’) are right about one thing. she’s pretty boring when it comes to making facial expressions but their other claims have no validity IMO. and i truly don’t understand what all the b*tching about doutzen is for. she isn’t a substance-abuser like kate moss was, nor does she have an on again-off again relationship with a man who’s a horrible influence on her (also like kate). doutzen is also clearly not dying from an eating disorder. so what’s the problem? honestly there’s no reason to hate a model just ’cause she makes dull facial expressions when posing for the camera.
I also don’t get why some ‘fans/former fans’ keep on hating Doutzen… i mean common she didn’t lie or pretend! All she did is quit runway works(who knows if she’ll be back in just a matter of time) and join VS.
Absolutely gorgeous.
Why is her mouth always open?
Is there anyone who has the answer? lol
Or it’s just a natural thing for her? cause i’ve seen a number of her interviews on youtube and her mouth seems to be also open even if she’s not speaking, plus she loves to lick her lips in between interviews lol Girl has some mannerisms!
I think what makes us feel she’s not a high fashion model is the lack of variation in her expression … her eyes DO talk to the camera but she’s always saying the same thing … and yeah, the open lipped pout doesn’t help that … great, incredible body – in fact, the body of a fashion model … but it’s not the most fascinating, attention grabbing set of photos that you want to go back and revisit because of her expression – it lacks edge.
Oh – and maybe the lack of variation could be as much about the connection between her and the photographer as anything else?
Oops hadn’t finished … yet her face is so startlingly pretty the eye is almost drawn away from the clothes.
Love the name Doutzen. very close to douche like Doutzen herself
Beautiful!
I think models really often keep their mouths open in photoshoots – I once read an article where photographes told they always ask their models to open their mouths a bit, because it looks less harsh. Maybe Doutzen´s lips highlights it. She looks stunning as always.
Sooo hot! She looks incredible.
Now I’m sad. She looks gorgeous! Urgh!
She still looks like she is modeling in a VS catalogue.
doutzen is so beautiful, luv her
wow. girl crush!
She looks so beautiful!
I am soo loving her hair color!
Uma – I think you understood exactly what I meant about high fashion v.s. commercial judging by the other models you mentioned. I like how Doutzen looks too, even if she is not high fashion. I think she is very beautiful.
toni – I am registered on both and, I am sorry to say, but I still have not seen what, in my opinion, is high fashion from Doutzen. So I guess we must agree to disagree on this.
Like i said, it’s your opinion that Doutzen’s looks is not of a highfashion model! But you can’t deny all the hifashion jobs Doutzen did and still does.
I never tried to deny any high fashion jobs she did or does… Are you sure you’re not confusing me with someone else?
No disrespect to you, but you sound like one of those posters who keeps on messing with Doutzen’s threads calling her nasty names!. It’s ok you don’t like her, but to call her with nasty names is BS.
I’ll repeat, Doutzen is one of the few models out there who got success without lying, pretending, famehoring, or dating rich/famous men. She did it on her own!
And lastly, Gisele, Karolina, and Doutzen are the only VS angels who are real hifashion models who walked countless shows and had ads with famous designers.
I really don’t understand… So, according to you… simply by saying ‘I think she is beautiful but I don’t think Doutzen looks like the typical high fashion model or has the expressiveness of one’ I am the equivalent to those people calling her ‘fat’? I am quite sure my comments are far more constructive than blatant insults.
Clearly it is not okay with you that I think anything about Doutzen other than that she is a goddess of perfection. It seems obvious to me that I am now having words put in my mouth and being blamed for others insults simply because I DON’T agree with you on every point you make about Doutzen! Learn to let other people have their own opinion and don’t attack them just because they disagree with you. I never insulted Doutzen anywhere and you are completely overreacting with this attempt to pin the blame on me for something I never did. Now please stop fabricating rubbish about me and leave me alone.
Ummmm have u seen the calvin klein ad where she is in the red bikini? Her body is perfection personified in that ad. Now I will admit she doesn’t look as bangin in the vs ads but damn check out that ck ad. Unreal.
That is photshoped, for crying out loud. Learn the difference ppl, stop being such sheep believing everything the media shows you. Especially ads! And you say it yourself: unreal! And that’s what it is, that ad is not her real body, is her body altered to make it look perfect. Here i was, naively thinking that by now ppl have learned to spot airbrushing and to understand that beauty is not photoshop or unrealistic images, but on the contrary.
Agreed. Even in these pictures, especially the first one, she is heavily airbrushed. Her waist isn’t that small. She’s a beautiful girl, but her waist to hip ratio is not that defined, not because she’s fat (so please don’t go off on me about how I’m calling her fat) but because of her bone structure.
Out of all of the VS Angels, she’s the least attractive to me. She’s very pretty, but I can see better looking people than her on a day to day basis. I don’t think she’s worth 6 million a year and I was shocked to hear she earns that much but whatever, I guess people like her.
I think Doutzen can be considered one of the most beautiful women in the world. Actually, I think that all the VS angels are absolutely stunning. Go and watch the VS fashion shows on you tube, those women are as close to perfection (physically) as they come. Would Doutzen be so succsessful if she wasn’t good looking and talented?!!!
Doutzen wouldn’t be so successful if she wasn’t good looking and talented! So stop all the b*itching people… I like Doutzen and she isn’t the type of model who lies or uses others just to be famous or gets jobs!
Well, people can’t say that Doutzen is a sl*t, fameho, or a liar… and can’t even find a flaw to criticise, so why not say she’s boring, fat, etc!
So they say, if you get more successful, you also get more haters lol!
Who was hating and b*tching, again? For once, no one called her fat or wtv, but everyone agreed she’s gorgeous. You are way too defensive.
Agreed… all I said above was I think toni is confusing me with someone else because I never denied Doutzen’s high fashion work and suddenly I am accused of prowling this site making these sorts of insults on all of her threads! Toni, you are definitely too defensive and I think you are reading so much into posts that you think you see an insult when there isn’t one.
Clearly, toni, because every single person in the entertainment industry has been talented and beautiful…
I think the lips open is just natural. I have large lips like hers and when my face is relaxed my lips naturally part too. Maybe she should learn to control her face more though so she provides a bit of variety for the shoot (considering the amount she gets paid to pose looking hot!)
Wow I love Doutzen, she has such a gorgeous barbie doll look, I love the outfits too!!
I think Doutzen is high fashion, and she does have a certain quality that I love about her. She always looks innocent. Fresh. It’s surprising, she can do high fashion and commercial, however, because of her body, which is not as lean or thin as most fashion models, most make the mistake that she is unable to do high fashion. From neck up, Doutzen is perfection. I think she just needs longer legs. That’s all that bugs me about her. I mean in the first pic? Bleh! She has this kind of deer caught in headlights look that I’m not sure I like. I do LOVE the sixth one, though. I think Doutzen is high fashion, just check out some of her poses. I don’t know where I can get the link to this, but in one shot she is tucking her head to her shoulder and WOW. The shot is gorgeous.
LOL we’re still digging on this one, but that’s ok cause i like Doutzen too as a model!
I agree with what you said about Doutzen being a HF model, heck that’s where her career started! And came along these commercial contracts that offer big bucks, which she can never earn as a HF model.
As for her body, yes not typical of those HF gals, but look at Lara Stone(one of the top HF models today) who has a curvacious body and also an exception to the androgeny that consists this HF modelling.
My opinion is, Doutzen, along with other HF models will stick to being HF if big commercial contracts didn’t come knocking on their respective careers.
MONEY and FAME from commercial modelling amen.
I just don’t get the high fashion vibe about her either
I think someone like freja beha erichsen is much more versatile and intriguing to look at whereas I feel that doutzen is ‘just a pretty face’, she doesn’t do anything for me.
She’s gorgeous and her hair looks fabulous!
