You will always and forever hear us, here at theFashionSpot, rave about magazines that champion homegrown talents. Whether it’s Vogue Australia celebrating Miranda Kerr or Vogue France selecting Loli Bahia as a cover girl – we approve. Admittedly, ELLE Poland doesn’t command our attention regularly but as the magazine recognizes two of the country’s most recognizable of models – our interests are stimulated. ELLE Poland editor-in-chief Marta Tabiś-Szymanek ushers in Kasia Struss and Anna Jagodzińska as cover girls for January 2025. The two beauties each pose for photographer Mateusz Stankiewicz. Dressed by cover shoot stylist Karolina Limbach, the girls don looks from the Christian Dior Cruise 2025 collection in their respective black and white cover photographs.

Kasia Struss & Anna Jagodzińska for ELLE Poland January 2025:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Kasia’s shot is stunning! Anna’s shot could be better. The pose is weird and the arm covered in shadow looks strange,” commented mikel straight away.

“I just knew Kasia Struss wouldn’t disappoint. I love it,” enthused WAVES.

“Kasia is such a pro,” GoldenPetals heralded.

Nomar added: “They only needed Kasia! She looks incredible, as always!”

“Love both of the covers and models. However, the one with Anna Jagodzińska is my favorite. I like the fact that it is an unusual cover composition, and the Dior cruise dress is perfect,” admired MModa.

We stan Harper’s Bazaar France hard here at theFashionSpot. Can you blame us? Under the tutelage of Olivier Lalanne, the editor’s choice of cover subjects has become second to none. Over the past twelve months, Lalanne has welcomed everyone from Gigi Hadid and Kate Moss to Naomi Campbell and Layla Etengan onto the magazine’s front covers. He opts to round out the year by welcoming Laetitia Casta back as a Harper’s Bazaar France cover star. Photographed by Juergen Teller, the French model, actress, and fashion darling is captured at home on French Bazaar‘s double offering for December 2024/January 2025. In the cover photograph, Laetitia gazes down Teller’s lens, dressed by stylist Elodie David-Touboul in a black Christian Dior dress from the Cruise 2025 collection.

Laetitia Casta on the December 2024/January 2025 Cover of Harper’s Bazaar France:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“What in the world,” exclaimed matheus_s the moment the cover struck.

“Both of her covers for Harper’s Bazaar France has been dreadful. She looked like a golem on her last one and now this pose. My god… HELP!” added blueorchid.

“Why would anyone look at this dreadful image and think it’s the perfect option for a cover? I just don’t understand how a team of supposed professionals comes up with sh*t like this,” avonlea002 noted.

The Model Gene also was not impressed. “I never want to see another cover by Juergen Teller again. Please make it stop,” they pleaded.

“I can’t believe I like garden furniture more than Laetitia Casta on a magazine cover,” Srdjan laughed.

“Not the garden and garden furniture taking more of the spotlight than Laetitia! Juergen needs to retire. Like, you did your time sweetie; you can go rest now,” voiced jeremydante.

Vogue Czechoslovakia perhaps doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. Since coming onto the market in September 2018, the magazine has remained one of the best and most creative books in the business. Over the past twelve months, covers starring the likes of Alessandra Ambrosio, Monica Bellucci, Ashley Graham, and Gwendoline Christie have commanded our attention (for reasons both good and bad). Vogue Czechoslovakia has our undivided attention once again, as Danica Kovarova welcomes models Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Yilan Hua as cover girls. Photographic duo Kulesza + Pik captured Huntington-Whiteley, who serves face in the profile cover shot, wearing Saint Laurent and Tiffany & Co. Joined by a dove, Yilan Hua posed for Luka Booth and sits pretty in Christian Dior.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley on the December 2024 Cover of Vogue Czechoslovakia:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“It’s a beautiful photo, but kind of amateurish. As much as Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is a beautiful woman, I think her beauty is very plasticized (in both senses),” said DK92.

“I like Rosie, I like closeups but something is just missing here. Not sure what,” Srdjan chimed in.

Kokobombon wasn’t all too impressed either. “It looks like a supplement cover,” they pointed out.

“Rosie’s cover should’ve been a tad less zoomed in,” voiced WAVES. “The Yilan Hua cover without that bird/dove prop would’ve been so much better!”

“These covers are not light at all. Both of them wearing black and looking serious,” Alquimista critiqued.

Yet not everyone felt so underwhelmed. “Rosie Huntington-Whiteley all day, every day. We don’t see her enough on the cover of fashion magazines, IMO. The cover is fantastic, usually hate this type of profile cover shot but it’s all working for me here,” confessed vogue28.

You will never hear us critiquing Paula Merlo, and her knack for celebrating local talent. Via the covers of Vogue Brazil, Brazilian talents like Valentina Sampaio, Barbara Valente, Maria Klaumann, Raquel Zimmermann, Gisele Bündchen, and Rebeca Andrade have graced the Brazilian fashion bible throughout 2024. The latest Brazilian star to grace the cover of Vogue Brazil is Fernanda Torres. The celebrated Brazilian film actress and television writer is splashed across a trio of covers, captured by photographer Zee Nunes. For each of the three cover photographs, Torres was dressed by the magazine’s fashion director at large Rita Lazzarotti sporting looks from Herchcovitch Alexandre, Christian Dior, and Balenciaga.

Fernanda Torres for the November 2024 Covers of Vogue Brazil:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“She’s so beautiful. My favorite actress and AGAIN Vogue Brazil ruins everything. Why not a closeup? Or at least less space and a different color? I don’t know,” disapproved matheus_s.

“I’m VERY happy for Fernanda Torres but this is a no, unfortunately!” DK92 added.

Thiago felt the same way, commenting: “Torres deserved MUCH better. A truly wonderful actress, though. She’s magnificent!! I love her so much,” they praised.

“The first cover only needs to be cropped to be fantastic. The other two are Vogue Brazil’s usual bullsh*t with fashion and how disconnected they seem to be with it,” WAVES ranted.

“Such sad colors,” critiqued Alquimista.

Harper’s Bazaar Italia has undergone some major restructuring over recent months. Massimo Russo was named editor-in-chief (succeeding Daria Veledeeva). Stefano Tonchi became editorial director. Paul Sinclaire was appointed fashion editor at large last month. Creative director Marc Ascoli was replaced by Lee Swillingham and Stuart Spalding. The first issue under the new team last month gave us a whole plethora of covers lensed by Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin. Taking to the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Italia for November 2024 is Libby Bennett. The British model poses for photographer Alasdair McLellan across a duo of covers, centered around the theme of youth. Styled by Alice Goddard, Bennett wears looks from Christian Dior and Louis Vuitton in the two vibrant cover photographs.

Libby Bennett for Harper’s Bazaar Italia November 2024:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Please bring back Marc Ascoli. These Suburbia guys are just not it,” critiqued GivenchyAddict of the magazine’s new creative director duo.

“BringBackAscoli,” pleaded ellarchivist.

“The change of editor-in-chief immediately resulted in a downgrade in covers,” noted TashaRose.

Srdjan confessed: “Not a fan of the covers this month!”

“Alasdair is so BORING!” DK92 declared.

“After last month’s Inez & Vinoodh offering, this feels like a setback. Nevertheless, I do like how vibrant and fresh these covers are. There’s zero denying the images are perfect for an issue centered around the theme of youth. Very vibrant and youthful,” voiced vogue28.

You will never EVER hear us complaining over the sight of Angelina Jolie here at theFashionSpot. Whether she is commanding our attention as the face of Tom Ford Beauty, oozing old-Hollywood glamour on major red carpets across the globe, or showing us her wild side via the covers of CR Fashion Book – we stan the American actress, filmmaker, and humanitarian hard. Ahead of the release of Netflix’s “Maria” on December 11 (in the US), Angelina Jolie appears on the cover of Vogue Mexico for December 2024. Complete with styling from Stella Greenspan, Jolie gazes down the lens of photographer Dan Martensen in a little black Christian Dior dress.

Angelina Jolie for Vogue Mexico December 2024:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Not good,” voiced caioherrero the moment the cover dropped.

“She looks really sad here, like she got the worst possible news just before she walked on set,” noted a disappointed URIAH.

Also not exactly best impressed was forum member kokobombon. “This looks so low budget,” they called out.

“These look like outtakes. It takes skill to make Angelina Jolie look this bad,” shrieked Hchloe.

“That’s quite an unflattering shot of Angelina Jolie. Not her best angle. That being said, I like the coloring and the simplicity of it all,” shared vogue28.

“What I like about the cover and all of the photographs of Jolie is how real they look,” MModa appreciated.

Ivano also liked what they saw, commenting: “I love the idea of Angelina Jolie as a cover star. Her face at least wasn’t retouched in such a way magazines do!”

Ever since setting foot in Christian Dior HQ, Maria Grazia Chiuri has commissioned many female photographers to capture the brand’s various campaigns. Subsequent to MGC’s debut season in Spring 2017, female talents like Brigitte Lacombe. Paola Mattioli, Alice Mann, Collier Schorr, and more recently Sarah Jones have been called upon to capture Dior’s campaign imagery. Make no mistake Brigitte Niedermair is a firm fave of Maria Grazia Chiuri as Christian Dior creative director. Nierdermair is back (once again), this time for the Christian Dior Cruise 2025 season campaign offering. Ali Dansky, Jiali Zhao, Sanija Dalecka, and Tanya Churbanova become the faces of the collection, which was presented in Scotland back in June. Throughout the campaign, the girls gaze down Nierdermair’s lens and pose against a pale gold backdrop.

The Christian Dior Cruise 2025 Ad Campaign:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I like the blurry background. That’s all,” voiced FashionFanatico upon checking out the campaign.

“It’s like almost there… but not good. It has components to be good and then it all is just a bit meh,” chimed in forum member Kite.

Sharing the same sentiments toward the campaign was reese06. “Everything is disjointed and nothing is working together. This doesn’t evoke any emotion and might as well be a catalog. Awful,” they stated.

Frederic01 wasn’t best impressed either, commenting: “Dior had the opportunity to photograph this collection on location in Scotland. Instead, they chose a studio with a mustard-yellow backdrop? Why!”

“Admittedly, some shots are more superior than others. However, this is just another fine example displaying the level of mediocrity we’ve come to expect from Maria Grazia Chiuri at Christian Dior. There’s just zero sense of life, energy or luxury radiating from this campaign imagery. Such a snoozefest after that spectacular display at Drummond Castle!” exclaimed vogue28.

Welcome back to theFashionSpot’s Top Picks shopping series, where we shine a spotlight upon the collections of just about every major fashion house. We’ve since taken a deep dive into the Fall/Winter 2024 collections – particularly those of Alexander McQueen, Moschino, Fendi, Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton, Chloé, Prada, Tom Ford, Versace, and Dolce & Gabbana. Up next… the Christian Dior Cruise 2025 collection.

In June, Maria Grazia Chiuri staged the Christian Dior Cruise 2025 show in Scotland at Drummond Castle, situated in Perthshire. Archival photographs from Monsieur Dior’s 1955 Scottish showcase were ultimately reproduced as prints on tops and coats throughout MGC’s lineup. Scotland’s iconic Harris Tweed was also unsurprisingly at the forefront of a number of looks. Maria Grazia Chiuri looked to Mary, Queen of Scots and her rebellious spirit for inspiration, resulting in puffball gowns crafted from rich black velvet and adorned with heavy embroidery detailing.
