Of the photos, which were shot by Alexei Hay and styled by ELLE Creative Director Joe Zee, Myers adds, "These covers harken to what made ELLE ELLE: Shot outside, drenched in sunlight, color, and of course accessories, the women look right back at you with all the personal and sexual confidence in the world."

Iman, 20, who posed in two revealing numbers says, "Any woman who has a positive attitude about herself and carries herself with class but doesn't try too hard and say, ya know, 'Hey, look at me, I’m a bombshell,' is basically a bombshell. It's just a woman with a positive, strong attitude who knows she has it going on."
