Zooey Deschanel may be the most lovable starlet working today. From her peachy singing voice to her penchant for retro garb, she's always a charmer. But when it seemed that she was finally getting her due recognition with a Rimmel London campaign and the cover of Flare Magazine, she's been airbrushed into oblivion. So what gives, airbrushers? What beef have you got with Zooey?

It's a truth universally acknowledged that September fashion magazine covers are the most important of the year. With fall just around the bend, September issues are packed to the brim with the newest trends. (They're also packed with advertisements, essential to a magazine's survival.) And if there's one thing you can say about this year's September covers, it's that the good covers are great and the bad ones are truly horrible. Notably absent from the bunch are Vogue Paris and Vogue Italia, whose cover images have not surfaced yet, but are sure not to disappoint. Click through to see the best and worst of September's covers!
