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.

For a number of months now, Anna Wintour has been flip flopping between both new and recycled cover stars when it comes to selecting American Vogue‘s cover subjects. Wintour gave Nicki Minaj her very first cover back in December and welcomed back an old fave in the form of Sienna Miller for Winter 2024. The magazine’s recently-unveiled digital offering for Winter 2024 sees Usher welcomed as cover, who is joined by old-school American Vogue fave Carolyn Murphy. In the joyous and lively cover photograph lensed by photographer Campbell Addy, the pair are joined by the young members of the Jr Gaels 6U team. Out on the soccer field, Usher is dressed by stylist Max Ortega in Willy Chavarria while Carolyn sports head-to-toe Miu Miu.

“Aww, a celebrity with a model is so 2000s,” voiced kokobombon.

“I love the male celebrity with a model formula, it’s so essentially American Vogue that we know and love,” echoed aracic in complete agreement.

Lola701 added: “A lively and lovely cover! Such beautiful lighting! Perfect! Usher is always a good thing in my book. I love that they have a veteran model with him!”

“It makes me so nostalgic. The celebrity and top model formula that became so intrinsically US Vogue is always a perfect combination, I love it,” enthused marsnoop2.

Vogue28 raved: “The fact Carolyn Murphy is on the cover is fantastic, and the cover itself feels very vibrant, celebratory, joyous and very American!”

“I love this cover! This should have been printed for the Winter 2024 issue instead. It’s vibrant and it would for sure pop on the newsstand,” stated forum member RanThe.
