I love pregnant bodies and hers looks amazing (possibly due to photoshop), and it is a nice photo. But I dunno if its front cover material being totally naked. Perhaps wearing a boob tube or something I dunno.
Good on her for doing it

I think she looks fab. I have no problem with her posing naked.

Honestly, I bet if it was some hot guy people wouldn't have a problem but as soon as a women does something to show her body it is looked down on.

Would rather look at Benice Mene naked on cover of womens weekly than look at some old fat guy with no shirt. I know what I think is more offensive.    Besides she is wearing a flower

Don't get me wrong I them. I have one in a frame in my bedroom and I love that it reminds me of that special time.

But I don't think they should be on the cover of a magazine. It's not offensive just not necessary IYKWIM.

ETA: Having said that I looking at them on here.


i am surprised at myself but i thought exactly the same..man she looks awesome.. but i think naked is a bit much on the Women's weekly cover. I dont think it's about hiding away for 9 months at all..just that it's a bit much for the cover of Women's weekly:)


i agree

I think she looks amazing. If I looked like that you'd have a hard time getting me to put clothes on at all

I love it - I think she looks beautiful...

I think she looks better than Demi Moore did, when she posed... many moons ago.

I love it too! I actually don't normally buy NZWW but I specifically bought it to have a look.

It was pretty risque for the magazine but good on Bernice for being so brave!!

Gosh it never even occurred to me that some people might find it offensive. I didn't even bat an eyelid at it. I just thought it was like any other old WW cover. Goes to show I don't read WW!

I don't think it is offensive & can not remember reading any posts saying it was.

It is a lovely photo just not a cover of a cheap mag, with gossip stories in the back, I think it would of looked a lot better on a more upmarket NZ mag.

I think its an amazing photo and she looks fantastic .. and I think she does the cover of any magazine proud.

And .. I think all magazines have gossip in them .. even the pricey ones.

I think it would be a lot nicer as an arty shot on a glossy mag, all black and white and mysterious looking. I think my problem with it is that it looks cheap and tacky, like WW said "cheese" and whipped out their Sony Cybershot.

I think it looks beautiful, I love the natural portrayal of pregnancy. I don't find it offensive in the least, she isn't revealing any more than heaps of other magazines reveal.

My only problem with it is that I'm insanely jealous of her pregnant body and I don't think it's a fair representation of the general population

Unfortunately a fair representation of the general pregnant population wouldn't make a very attractive magazine cover.

We have a magazine stand at work, and soooo many people commented negatively on the pic today, I was quite surprised at how outraged people were!!
As I've said before, good on her, she looks great. But I guess its a bit much for some people! (It has to be said that most of these people were of the older generation)
