Best in Moss:
Kate Moss gets all jungle and en-bathing suited for Vogue Brazil, shot by Mario Testino. It gets a little random, but I like it.

Best in Hot Boarding School Mistress:
Natalia Vodianova in "California Dreaming" for Vogue US, shot by Bruce Weber. Hollywood up and comers like Hailee Steinfield, Matthew Gubler, and Dakota Fanning as well as some barely legal boys show what it's like to be preppy and well-schooled with Natalia in charge.

Anja Rubik channels some seriously iconic images (see: Le Smoking jacket) and wears a blond bob for Vogue Paris, shot by Mikael Jansson. She wears some sigh worthy pieces by Lancin, Gucci, LV and more. It's the hotness.

Best in Red, and er, Pool Toys:
In the second editorial of the month to employ blow up toys as props, the lovely Lara Stone goes red in "Pool Play" for Interview Mag, styled by Karl Templar and shot by Mikael Jansson (who's having a stellar month). It's equal parts sexy and playful, and Lara can rock that red in Versace, Missoni and more.   
 
 
 
 
Best in Artful/Surreal/Weird:
"Edge of the World" in Marie Claire Italia, photographed by Thomas Krappitz, features Luisa Bianchin in Yves Saint Laurent, and Fendi, seaside looking all creepy and beautiful.

Melanie Laurent is the star of my favorite editorial featuring a celebrity for May, so as you might imagine, it was a month of surprises. There were summer looks and pool toys, bathing suits, pretty girls, prep schools and the Chelsea Hotel.

It was high fashion, artful, pretty and sometimes not. Click through for the very best May had to offer in glossy land. Did I leave out anything you loved?
