Winehouse to become 'Vogue' cover girl

Amy Winehouse is to be a covergirl for the US edition of Vogue magazine.

The 'Rehab' singer will feature in the September issue on the orders of editor Anna Wintour.

Wintour - who inspired the book and film The Devil Wears Prada - decided she wanted Amy after hearing her hit album Black to Black, which has been in the US Billboard top 10 since March.

A magazine insider told the Daily Mirror: "An order from Anna Wintour is like a royal command and the order was 'get me Amy'.

"Anna loved Amy's album so much that she just had to have her. But at the end of the day, its not just about the music, it's about her rawness, her kooky style and her outspokenness. She’s very much a one-off - but incredibly talented with it.”

Winehouse took part in a photo shoot with top photographer Bruce Weber in Miami, where she married Blake Fielder-Civil in May.
