Does this really sell newspapers?

I think it is a mark of present-day female desperation to appear sexy. If done to attract the male, just think what type of man you are attracting?

Having seen her on film and TV I know she is pretty with an expressive face and a good actress, but I do not feel this outfit is at all flattering, or appropriate. The beach, maybe?

She forgot to put her vest on. Her mother should have reminded her.

No liberty bodice either tsk!

She's off to a premiere though.
Clothes more appropriate than the image suggests!

I admit I thought it was an AI image though as her shoulder (her left) seems wonky!

I think we have to assume that men buy newspapers[and write them] as much as women. Enough said.

Well I don’t know why you call her odd looking Ilovedogs or plain She’s a nice looking girl but unnecessarily clad
Or indeed under-clad grin

They should be ashamed catering to the perverts and oglers.

If that’s the look she wants, fine, but shame on the Telegraph for sinking to such low depths

Well they have got rid of page 3 and now just put pretty young women on the front page alongside actual news. So what a scantily clad young woman who must be famous in some way has to do with the NHS or WFA is anybodies guess.
Do we really need to ogle at women in order to buy a newspaper.
I know that the Guardian was under fire last year for simply showing pics of teenage schoolgirls alongside articles on education, presumably there were no boys available.

Oh yes, this odd looking girl seems intent on showing her bits! She is actually very plain with the star quality of a bag of soggy chips. 🍟

Must be a slow news day.

Had to read it to see who she was, oh yes, ‘Normal People’, she was very good in it.

The outfit was obviously chosen to make an impact, no bra, looks like some chiffon over a swimsuit.

AIBU to wonder what sub editors (or whoever) think is a suitable front page to catch the eye and induce someone to buy a newspaper?
It used to be a NEWS picture or a tried and tested Royal or a “National treasure” but at the risk of sounding like “disgusted of Tunbridge Wells” I was underwhelmed by the front cover of todays Telegraph
Actually on looking further, the other two don’t impress much either!
