Francesca Ragazzi, who has been at the helm of Vogue Italia since 2021, might just be starting to find her footing as editor-in-chief. After all, covers (both good and bad) over the past few months have granted us Linda Evangelista, Monica Bellucci, and Lana Del Rey as cover stars. Last month, Ragazzi closed out 2024 with models like Anok Yai, Alex Consani and Amelia Gray having a blast before the lens of Rafael Pavarotti. To kick-start 2025, Damiano David is ushered in as a Vogue Italia cover star for January. The Italian singer and songwriter is teamed up with photographer Steven Klein for the occasion, complete with Matthew Ellenberger on styling duties. In the cover photograph (shot on location at Chateau Marmont), David gazes down Klein’s lens donning a look from the Dsquared2 Menswear Spring 2025 collection.

Damiano David for Vogue Italia January 2025:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Too bad they didn’t do something sexier with him. I guess the outcome is… OK. Much better than the December covers,” noted Xone upon checking out the cover.

“Did they want to do a BDSM theme but suddenly change their minds?” asked JohannesL.

“I love that he’s on the cover. However, I was expecting more from Klein. I feel like Damiano David would have been game for something riskier than this,” kokobombon chimed in.

Guimon felt the same way. “I love Damiano. I was excited when I saw Steven Klein in the thread title, but I’m so disappointed with the results,” they echoed.

Yet not everyone was left so unsatisfied. “Well, this is a decent cover,” confessed zacatecas570.

“The colors are rich, good angles, something of a narrative. Thank GOD we still have Klein doing atmospheric photos that evoke something,” Alquimista enthused.

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.

Chioma Nnadi is now 10 issues deep into her tenure as British Vogue‘s head of editorial content. You may not need reminding that we here at theFashionSpot have been far from smitten with Nnadi’s vision for the magazine. Not even covers featuring the likes of FKA Twigs, Zendaya, Kylie Jenner, Florence Pugh, and SZA have been enough to impress. Nnadi opts to kick-start the new year by welcoming model-of-the-moment Angelina Kendall as a British Vogue cover star for January 2025. The Brazilian-Kiwi beauty, who scored campaigns for Zara, Fendi, and Tom Ford since bursting on the fashion scene, poses for photographer Mikael Jansson. Angelina takes to the busy streets of London in the cover photograph, styled by Ib Kamara in a ruffled dress from Alessandro Michele’s Spring 2025 Valentino collection.

Angelina Kendall on the Cover of British Vogue January 2025:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I’m so happy for Angelina Kendall but the cover is really boring,” voiced prylvi.

“Such a wasted opportunity,” kokobombon sighed.

“Why pick such a blurry, unfocused, and busy cover image to herald the making of a new supermodel? ” quizzed vogue28. “I love Angelina Kendall but this is such a wasted opportunity. Not impressed!”

Thiago echoed: “Could’ve been great but it’s a disaster…”

Sharing the same sentiments was newton91: “WOW… what a disaster! You get a top model and this is what you come up with? Where’s the creativity? This is just so lazy!”

“Ugh, I’ve been praying for a big Angelina cover and it’s this? No,” disapproved Lucien112.

“I don’t hate it but this is giving me Teen Vogue prom shoot vibes,” forum member Kenny noted.

“Angelina Kendall is an undisputed star but these photos are unconvincing at best. A rare Jansson fail,” declared zoom.

French Vogue might be a shadow of its former self, but the magazine still commands our attention here at theFashionSpot – for better or worse. Covers of the once-great magazine throughout 2024 have been somewhat of a flop, with not even the likes of Sophie Marceau, Céline Dion, Gigi Hadid, and Kendall Jenner having managed to win us over as cover stars. Loli Bahia is called upon to help round out the year, gracing the December 2024/January 2025 cover of Vogue France. The French beauty (and firm industry favorite) poses before the lens of Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott in the rather chic cover photograph. The photographic duo teamed up with stylist Alastair McKimm, who selected a tweed look from the Chanel Spring 2025 collection for Bahia to showcase in the high-glam cover shot.

Loli Bahia on the Cover of Vogue France December 2024/January 2025:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Now that looks like a French Vogue cover!” immediately heralded crmsn.

“I like the cover, simple but effective,” kokobombon approved.

“I am… SOLD. Love how French, chic, and polished this is. There’s a warmth from the lighting which I can appreciate this time of year, and it’s all working. Perhaps a hint of expression from Loli Bahia wouldn’t have gone amiss but I’m not complaining. Obsessed with the Robert Palmer-esque makeup look, the voluminous blunt bob, the Chanel, and the font,” praised vogue28.

Also a fan was forum member Srdjan. “I love the cover, it gives me both festive Christmas and fresh January vibes,” they praised.

Not everyone, however, was so smitten. “Everything but the face,” disapproved Lucien112.

“That hair!” Loli Bahia is so boring, her face is dead!” exclaimed DK92.

“I want to slap her just to see if she’s not dead,” yslforever commented.

Make no mistake that throughout 2024, Kenya Hunt has attempted to keep British ELLE firmly on our radar. After all, the editor (who has been at the helm of the Brit fashion publication since 2022) has ushered in the likes of Lashana Lynch, Naomi Campbell, Margaret Qualley, Raye, Little Simz, Jodie Comer, Alicia Vikander, Precious Lee, and Letitia Wright as cover stars. Hunt closes out the year by making Riley Keough a British ELLE cover star for the title’s double December 2024/January 2025 offering. Fresh from the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Australia & New Zealand, the granddaughter of the late Elvis Presley poses for photographer Olivia Malone. In the cover shot, the American actress is styled by cover shoot stylist Natasha Wray in Chanel (to which Riley Keough is a brand ambassador).

Riley Keough for British ELLE December 2024/January 2025:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“It’s a strong cover,” confessed matheus_s the second the cover came to light.

“British ELLE‘s best cover in a long time,” praised Gary89.

“Sure does feel like it!” replied vogue28 in complete agreement. “This one hits all the right notes. Riley Keough has been photographed beautifully by Olivia Malone here. I love those shades of blue.”

Sharing the same level of enthusiasm was alwaysademo. “Beautiful cover. Looks no different than a standard late 90s ELLE France cover. Riley looks charming and the deep blue is surprising for December,” they admired.

“This is striking. Great colors,” commended forum member Lucien112.

Samira Nasr’s Harper’s Bazaar isn’t exactly an absolute must-have purchase for us when visiting our local newsstand. After all, the American fashion title has become extremely hit and miss. Covers throughout 2024 featuring the likes of Emma Corrin, Winona Ryder, Jennie, and Kendrick Lamar have failed to hit the spot. Yet on the opposite end of the scale, Regina King and a twosome of covers with Anok Yai and Christy Turlington have impressed us to no end. Nasr opts to close out the year by welcoming Miley Cyrus onto the cover of Harper’s Bazaar for December 2024/January 2025. The American singer-songwriter, actress, and current face of Dolce & Gabbana poses for Ethan James Green. Styled by Carlos Nazario, Cyrus is splashed across a duo of covers in looks from the Christian Dior and Valentino.

Miley Cyrus for Harper’s Bazaar December 2024/January 2025:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“LOVE THE 2ND COVER!” exclaimed GERGIN upon checking out the two covers.

“The second cover was more than enough. The first one is tragic,” chimed in GivenchyAddict.

“Those covers of Harper’s Bazaar with Anok Yai and Christy Turlington by Ethan James Green were some of my most favorite covers of the year. These, with Miley Cyrus, pale in comparison IMO. The closeup portrait cover is most definitely the standout of the two. The colors are gorgeous. The first cover feels a little… flat,” voiced vogue28.

MModa commented: “Love the first cover only. The color scheme is just perfect for December. It is fashion and the image pulls me in. The second cover does not appeal to me at all!”

“Beautiful! Always nice to see Miley Cyrus looking gorgeous!” added guimon.

The year 2024 has been pretty good for Nina Garcia. After all, the ELLE editor-in-chief (who has served as the magazine’s figurehead since 2017) has welcomed a whole plethora of buzz-worthy talents as cover stars. Names like Penélope Cruz, Vittoria Ceretti, Nicole Kidman, Dua Lipa, Anya Taylor-Joy, HoYeon Jung, Lisa (of Blackpink), Tyla, and Kylie Jenner have fronted the magazine throughout 2024 alone. Garcia (unsurprisingly) closes out the year with the annual ELLE ‘Women in Hollywood’ issue for December 2024/January 2025. In the process, Demi Moore, Danielle Deadwyler, Mikey Madison, Selena Gomez, Karla Sofía Gascón, Zoe Saldaña, Cynthia Erivo, Saoirse Ronan, Julianne Moore, and Tilda Swinton cover the ELLE year-end offering. Photographers Collier Schorr, Cass Bird, Felix Cooper, and Micaiah Carter were called upon to capture the women, each decked out in pieces from the likes of Ralph Lauren, Chanel, Loewe, McQueen, Louis Vuitton, and Prada.

The 2024 ELLE ‘Women in Hollywood’ Covers:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“They are all quite nice,” immediately approved mikel.

“They are OK. Most of them look lazy. Nothing good. This year was a strange year for US ELLE,” forum member Xone chimed in.

“All of them look nice. I like Julianne Moore/Tilda, Cynthia Erivo and Saoirse Ronan,” shared ivano.

“Great lineup. Danielle Deadwyler has the best cover,” declared Hchloe.

Blueorchid commented: “They’re all pleasant and non-offensive. Not great, but it’s fine.”

“When you have Demi Moore, Demi Moore is all you need. I’m able to admire the styling on the Cynthia Erivo cover but my most fave is Demi’s, without a shadow of a doubt. My biggest pet peeve with a multi-cover selection is when there is zero cohesion, and there’s none here,” voiced vogue28.

“All the cover stories look way too pedestrian for my taste,” MModa critiqued.

British Harper’s Bazaar stays winning. After all, covers over recent months starring the likes of Kate Winslet, Venus Williams, and Lupita Nyong’o have impressed us to no end. Therefore, we aren’t at all surprised to see the magazine closing out 2024 on a high, with its annual “Women of the Year” edition. Lydia Slater celebrates Sophie Turner, Ambika Mod, Katarina Johnson-Thompson, and Victoria Beckham via the December 2024/January 2025 covers of British Harper’s Bazaar for the occasion. Turner is captured by Emma Summerton in a look from Louis Vuitton (unsurprisingly). Agata Pospieszynska shot a Christian Dior-clad Ambika Mod while Luc Braquet was called upon to capture Katarina Johnson-Thompson (decked out in Shushu/Tong). In the fourth and final cover, Victoria Beckham suits up a look from her namesake fashion label and is photographed by Boo George.

The December 2024/January 2025 ‘Women of the Year’ Covers of British Harper’s Bazaar:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Sophie Turner’s cover is the best. She looks stunning,” enthused fauxfashion.

“The Sophie Turner cover looks like they Photoshopped the cigarette she was holding out of the photo,” pointed out forum member KoV.

“I do not know most of these women but I do like all of the covers,” voiced MModa. “I like the styling and color palette. Johnson-Thompson’s cover is my favorite and Turner’s my least favorite. The black polka dots look out of place with the other cover options.”

Srdjan simply wasn’t impressed, commenting: “Not sure about any. None say December, festivity, or glamour!”

“Feels generic, as a whole series,” jeremydante critiqued.

“Saw the Victoria Beckham cover in the shop and it has a beautiful silvery finish on the text. The whole effect against the whiteness of the shot was just lovely; very festive and very tempting,” admired LastNight.

“I came here to say the same thing!” replied vogue28. “Saw the Victoria Beckham cover and thought it was gorgeous. I was also an admirer of the silvery finish and the cover overall. It did indeed feel very celebratory and festive!”
