The thing is, when it comes to shooting a celebrity who has very limited time, they usually go for the tried tested and true photographers. Who BTW, don't get as much as you think shooting for magazines like that. So what does the photographer do, the very minimal simplest thing.
I'm not sure if you know who Patrick Demarchelier is - I somewhat doubt he's taking a lot of gigs that are below his asking price, especially ones that aren't prestige pieces. I'd say that he's probably among the 20 most successful commercial photographers currently working.
I agree, though, about going with the tried-and-true when it comes to celebrity shoots. A cover like that probably had more than the requisite 30 minutes that you might get for a feature editorial portrait, I'd guess they had maybe 2 hours with her, but they might have also shot 4 concepts that the magazine's creative staff didn't like for one reason or another. Glamour isn't daring or edgy or terribly sophisticated, and these shots may have been a better match for the article's direction. I'd guess that the images we're looking at are more representative of what the client wanted, in this case, than what the photographer might have wanted to deliver.
