Nina Garcia’s ELLE outshines the competition on the regular, leaving the likes of Anna Wintour’s Vogue and Samira Nasr’s Harper’s Bazaar in the dust. Throughout her tenure as editor of the Hearst-owned fashion title, Garcia has championed fashion models as ELLE cover stars – very much to the delight of us here at theFashionSpot. Irina Shayk, Imaan Hammam, Gigi Hadid, Kaia Gerber and Gisele Bündchen have each been blessed with covers of late. Now, it’s Vittoria Ceretti’s turn in the spotlight for March 2024. Shot by Mario Sorrenti and styled by ELLE‘s fashion director Alex White, the Italian beauty and current face of Michael Kors Collection wears pieces from Gucci and Willy Chavarria across a duo of simplistic covers.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Hum… It’s great that ELLE continues to use models, but this one (cover) in particular is bad!” shrieked DK92 upon digesting ELLE‘s latest.

“Too empty. I don’t know… there’s something missing on the cover,” chimed in matheus_s.

“US ELLE‘s covers are usually great,” confessed tigerrouge. “I wasn’t expecting to see Vittoria looking like a drowned rat in an ill-fitting dress.”

“What’s with the greasy hair?” quizzed blueorchid.

Kokobombon commented: “I could do without the hairstyle, but gosh that stare!”

“What a disappointment. Vittoria is always spectacular, but she deserved better than this,” remarked aracic.

Nevertheless, not everyone was left so disappointed. “Must definitely be lowering my standards lately, because despite the general consensus of this thread, I’m very much a fan of the two covers. In particular… the second with Vittoria wearing the Willy Chavarria. I have a massive amount of respect and admiration for Nina Garcia endorsing fashion models as cover stars,” applauded vogue28.

To say Harper’s Bazaar under the direction of Samira Nasr has become an absolute snoozefest would be an understatement. Here at theFashionSpot, not even covers with Margaret Qualley, Leanne de Haan, Lana Del Rey and Gisele Bündchen have managed to win of us over recent months. Now that Carlos Nazario is style director at large, we’re hopeful cover shoots will begin to brighten up. Next up on Nasr’s cover subject conquest list is Solange Knowles, who becomes Bazaar‘s March 2024 cover star. The American singer-songwriter and actress is styled by Nazario for the occasion, wearing a look from Prada’s Spring 2024 collection as she poses for photographer Larissa Hoffman.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“JESUS… Samira is making history! She is the first and only EIC that all her covers are TERRIBLE. No other has achieved this. Her name will be in the Guinness Book!” laughed DK92.

In complete agreement was vogue28: “Goodness, what a total non-event of a cover for a March issue. Another cover under Nasr’s unfortunate reign that is completely devoid of energy, life, soul, charm…”

“As expected, it’s so incredibly booooooring. The outfit on the cover is overwhelming, it looks terrible. Solange deserved better!” aracic declared.

Lola701 ultimately felt the same way, commenting: “I love Solange! I love her style, I love her music! This cover and the story are the next level of boredom. Lackluster styling and photography!”

“They could’ve done so much better having her,” chimed in Ivancica.

“Samira doesn’t know how to pick a cover to save her life!” marsnoop2 exclaimed.

Awards season is officially in full swing, and with such an occasions comes Vanity Fair‘s annual Hollywood issue. First launched in 1995, the publication just unveiled its 30th annual installment of the highly-anticipated issue for March 2024. Radhika Jones champions Bradley Cooper, Natalie Portman, Pedro Pascal, Colman Domingo, Jodie Comer, Lily Gladstone, Greta Lee, Charles Melton, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Jenna Ortega, and Barry Keoghan as cover stars for the occasion. The selection of Hollywood stars poses for filmmaker and photographer Gordon von Steiner, and were styled by George Cortina throughout the sleek portfolio.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“It’s not my favorite Hollywood cover of Vanity Fair,” shared aracic the moment the cover struck.

“Making the cover of Vanity Fair‘s Hollywood issue… when the money’s no longer there,” chimed in an underwhelmed tigerrouge.

Also not exactly starstruck by the outcome was Marc10: “It literally looks like those photos they take backstage at award shows. Zero effort put into this. And it’s bad enough that the guys usually go for the boring black suits on the red carpet, but here too? Come on…”

“Everything is too cold and not very harmonious,” critiqued Ivanity86.

However, not everyone was left dissatisfied. “I am very much a fan of this! I’m able to appreciate how simple, clean and direct the cover image is. There’s zero signs of any weird Photoshop, and each of the subjects featured appear to have been photographed and styled beautifully,” defended vogue28.

All feels right in the world whenever our supermodel saviors are gracing the covers of our fave fashion glossies. British ELLE, Harper’s Bazaar Singapore and V Magazine each received our memo loud and clear over recent months, and apparently Vogue Germany did too. The magazine’s head of editorial content Kerstin Weng welcomes none other than Claudia Schiffer as cover girl for March 2024, and enlisting Luigi & Iango as cover shoot photographers in the process. German Vogue‘s latest marks the German supermodel’s 17th cover appearance, who shares the occasion with her very own pet cat Chip (who also stars in a leading role of the new spy movie Argylle). In the cover photograph, Claudia (the current face of Versace) is all smiles shot against L&I’s signature grey studio backdrop, clutching her cat and styled by Dena Giannini wearing Prada.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Not her best cover, but this is the Vogue Germany we know and love! It’s good to see it back, even if it is only for a moment. Luigi & Iango don’t miss,” instantly approved aracic.

“What an exhilarating cover, love the smile,” admired oaklee91.

“So good to see Claudia Schiffer on a cover again!” liberty33r1b exclaimed.

Vogue28 voiced: “Admittedly, this isn’t the most strongest I’ve seen from Claudia and Luigi & Iango but it’s Claudia back where she belongs on the cover of Vogue Germany, and for that, I won’t complain. The peach masthead works beautifully with the coloring of the cover image!”

“Stunning! After the years of insufferable trash covers we finally have something vibrant with a model that looks so shockingly timeless. I honestly can’t take my eyes off her. The cat is perfection. I love the styling,” applauded forum member iriswills.

You’ve heard it here on theFashionSpot on more than one occasion: Vogue Japan just isn’t the same. Since Condé Nast installed Tiffany Godoy as the magazine’s head of editorial content, covers have been extremely hit and miss. For March 2024, Godoy welcomes Sora Choi as cover girl, who has rapidly became one of the industry’s most prolific of Asian models. For the Spring 2024 campaign season alone (thus far), the beauty who hails from South Korea already has advertising campaigns for Prada and Giorgio Armani tucked up inside her portfolio. Via the lens of photographer Peter Ash Lee on Japanese Vogue‘s latest, surrounded by a floral display, Sora is dressed in an embellished look from Gucci’s Spring 2024 collection, selected for the occasion by stylist Alvin Yu.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“The new issue of House & Garden looks promising,” laughed avonlea002.

“House & Garden at least makes the effort to use houses and gardens. This looks like a florist’s store that’s been set up in a studio,” forum member tigerrouge chimed in.

Also far from overjoyed at the sight of the cover was dontbeadrag, commenting: “This is a total failure. Styling is bad, photography is bad – everything is terrible!”

“For me everything works except the model,” confessed DK92.

“I find this very pretty. Sora looks so cute,” ivano admired.

Vogue28 voiced: “Admittedly, this isn’t the worst Vogue Japan cover I’ve across under Tiffany Godoy. Very appropriate for a March issue, despite the cliche of the florals for spring. I’m liking how Sora’s lips seem to be be a perfect match the flowers, which is a very nice attention to detail. One slight snag I do have is the amputated-looking arm on the right… so unfortunate.”

You just have to give credit where credit is due and British Harper’s Bazaar is one of those magazines who rarely sets a foot wrong. Under the tutelage of Lydia Slater, the magazine continues to go from strength to strength. Just last month, the British fashion glossy commenced the new year with a wonderfully chic Julianne Moore cover and is moving steadfastly forward the way it means to go on for March 2024. To coincide with the release of The New Look on AppleTV+, Maisie Williams fronts the issue and is a darling in Dior, dressed a laced look from Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Spring 2024 collection. Captured by photographer Agata Pospieszynska and with Charlie Harrington on styling duties, the British actress serves grace and poise in the elegant cover image.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“In love with this, the best Maisie Williams has ever looked,” shared kokobombon.

“Perfectly on-brand and very visually appealing. This is certainly Maisie’s best look in print yet!” echoed aracic in complete agreement.

Also very much a fan was forum member MModa, pointing out: “This cover will look beautiful on the store shelves!”

“Always love when British Harper’s Bazaar serve us these regal, elegant and poised cover images. The cover shot itself is flawless, love the coloring, the laced Christian Dior dress and even the lily used as a prop. Also have to give a shoutout to the art direction which complements the image beautifully…” approved vogue28.

Three decades at the helm of American Vogue and Anna Wintour has finally mastered the element of surprise. Subsequent to tapping Nicki Minaj and Wintour embracing Usher (and Carolyn Murphy) just last month – perhaps the biggest shocker is with Vogue‘s March 2024 cover subject. Give it up for Miuccia Prada who graces the issue, with the legendary Italian fashion figure fronting the American fashion bible’s issue which is dedicated to women in power. Photographed by Steff Mitchell and styled by Alex Harrington, Mrs. Prada is dressed in an archival piece from her debut collection for Fall 1988. In the charming cover shot, Miuccia is photographed on location within the city of Venice and takes in the sights over the Grand Canal.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“That’s a very charming cover! Beautiful, timeless and I love the subject! A must-have!” Lola701 heralded.

“A LEGEND! Nice cover…” said DK92.

In agreement over Vogue‘s latest was forum member MON, commenting: “This is a beautiful cover! I love the colors, I love the view, and I love the feeling/mood it radiates.”

“What a moment! And quite a lovely portrait, too. Love this!” chimed in aracic.

Not everyone, however, was so smitten. “A missed opportunity, IMO. It could have been a great cover but the photography ruins it,” said kokobombon.

“Annie Leibovitz would have done a good job. The cover photo is so amateurish, but I’m happy to see Miuccia Prada,” reasoned Ivanity86.

Models on the covers of mainstream fashion titles will always and forever have a special place in our hearts. After all, it’s not an occurrence each and every month with most. Thankfully for us, Kenya Hunt is welcoming the super of all supermodels as cover star to British ELLE’s March 2024 edition, bestowing upon us none other than Naomi Campbell. As a result, the Brit fashion icon makes a much-welcomed return to the magazine’s front cover, 14 years after her last. Captured by Quil Lemons and styled by Georgia Medley, Naomi wears a crisp white shirt from her upcoming collaboration with Hugo Boss in the minimalist cover photograph.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Styling and photography just doesn’t do it for me,” Urban Stylin voiced the moment the cover dropped.

“Naomi looks absolutely terrible,” chimed in lookatme.

TerraVera wasn’t all too impressed either, commenting: “This ain’t it. Naomi’s face is weird in almost a silicone face mask kinda way. It’s as if she’s about to sneeze, but trying to hold it in through mouth-breathing. Not working at all!”

“Yikes. What a stain on her impressive portfolio. That styling is what hurts me most. Even the most boring of photographs can usually be saved by great styling, but this is atrocious,” exclaimed aracic.

Vogue28 felt the same way: “For a March issue, it just feels like a total non-event and the styling is so… banal and basic. There’s zero energy or excitement.”

“Literally, giving us nothing. I’m so bored of Naomi,” shared WAVES.

It has been a never-ending guessing game over on theFashionSpot forums for months. Speculating, just as to who might crop up on the cover of Edward Enninful’s final issue of British Vogue. Since June 2023, upon the news of Enninful departing the British fashion bible after a rather remarkable 7-year stint, names like Beyoncé were thrown around with regards to his final cover star. Needless to say, we didn’t see this one coming…

Forgoing just the one cover star, Enninful called upon a whopping 40 of his chosenVogue icons for his concluding cover. As a result, Karen Elson, Irina Shayk, Laverne Cox, Anya Taylor-Joy, Serena Williams, Rina Sawayama, Karlie Kloss, Jourdan Dunn, Cindy Crawford, Amber Valletta, Precious Lee, Jodie Comer, Gemma Chan, Adut Akech, Vittoria Ceretti, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Cata Delevingne, Jane Fonda, Gigi Hadid, Linda Evangelista, Adwoa Aboah, Miley Cyrus, Paloma Elsesser, Iman, Victoria Beckham, Ariana DeBose, Jameela Jamil, Oprah, Selma Hayek, Christy Turlington, Salma Blair, Maya Jama, Kate Moss, Cynthia Erivo, Simone Ashley, Lila Moss, Anok Yai, Kaia Gerber, Naomi Campbell and Dua Lipa grace the cover. The women flocked together in New York, and assemble for a group photograph before the lens of Steven Meisel.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Thank you, Edward. Thank you fashion gods! It’s a very interesting mix of cover subjects, some greats, some less than greats. Everyone looks fantastic, not a single woman looks unflattering here and that’s exactly what you want in a group cover, ” approved aracic.

LastNight was of the same mind, echoing: “I really like it! I think it’s quite striking and impressive to get all those people together.”

“I mean it’s a nice flex for him to have all these names on his last issue, but the composition is awful,” chimed in Marc10.

Thiago commented: “The Photoshop is terrible but that’s a proper farewell – Steven Meisel and legends!”

“It’s insane that they managed to actually get everyone there and still made it look like it’s a completely fake, Photoshopped group picture,” exclaimed lookatme.

“The cover isn’t groundbreaking enough, but you can’t make me hate it. Edward is such a mastermind, and I will surely miss his Vogue era,” shared forum member crmsn.

Caioherreo most definitely wasn’t all too impressed, describing the cover as “super boring” but do you agree?
