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.
