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.

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).

“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.

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!”
