Nina Garcia continues to secure the crème de la crème of the film, music and fashion industry for American ELLE‘s front covers. Rivaling Anna Wintour’s Vogue and Samira Nasr’s Harper’s Bazaar, Garcia’s most recent cover accomplishments have included Zendaya, Phoebe Dynevor and Irina Shayk, while last month’s offering saw Garcia drop a whole plethora of covers starring a handful of Hollywood’s finest. ELLE‘s first offering of the new year for February 2024 sees Penélope Cruz take to the cover, via the lens of photographer Zoey Grossman. In the crisp and commanding cover image captured in black and white, the Spanish actress gazes down Grossman’s lens whilst styled by Alex White wearing a (barely-visible) Chanel jacket and earrings.
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“That can’t be the newsstand cover, can it? I don’t mind it, just surprised. I mean, I assume Chanel paid for this, I imagine they want to see Chanel prominently on the cover…” voiced KoV the moment the cover struck.
“She’s breathtaking. Can’t go wrong with a closeup of hers,” admired thiago.
Also giving the cover their instant seal of approval was HodanChloe, raving: “Stunning! This woman is ageless!”
“Fabulous cover! Karl Lagerfeld was right, she could have been perfect as the face of Chanel No. 5! A stunning and timeless beauty,” enthused Lola701.
“Penélope looks great as always but I was expecting a little bit more. It’s good but extremely safe,” noted forum member WAVES.
Vogue28 said: “I’m strongly starting to feel like Nina Garcia’s ELLE is the gift that keeps on giving! Irina Shayk by Daniel Jackson, Jennifer Lopez by Solve Sundsbo and now Penélope Cruz by Zoey Grossman. Three terrific covers in a row, if you ask me. Penélope on the cover of ANY fashion magazine will always be a good idea for me – no matter the end result!”
