V Magazine China came to fruition in 2023, with He Cong and Troy Sivan helping herald the arrival of the magazine via the lens of photographer Mario Sorrenti. Fast forward to November 2024 and the sister publication of V Magazine (in the United States) is going strong. Making an appearance on the cover of V Magazine China this month is actress Lucy Liu. Fresh from the covers of Vogue Singapore, the American actress (and star of the action/comedy “Red One”) appears before the lens of photographer Jack Bridgland. Anna Trevelyan styled Lucy Liu for the cover shoot, selecting an embellished jacket from the Gucci Cruise 2025 collection of Sabato De Sarno.

Lucy Liu for V Magazine China November 2024:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Love it! Reminds me of a Chinese movie poster from the 80s,” immediately enthused Deleted Member 1957.

“Lucy Liu is so beautiful and regal,” thenewclassic admired.

“Loving her and this! Lucy Liu has such a unique face. I’m Chinese by blood and even for me she is unique. I just love her facial bones,” shared oaklee91.

Also in love with the outcome was vogue28. “I’m liking this too! The team done Lucy Liu justice here, and it’s undoubtedly stronger and more flattering than the eyesore of that Vogue Singapore offering. Might’ve preferred if Liu was engaging with us more in the cover image but I’m not complaining. The texture of that Gucci looks amazing and I love the coloring. Very nicely done V China!” he applauded.

Not everyone, however, was so entirely convinced. “I love Lucy, but this is wasting her potential,” voiced forum member Toni Ahlgren.

“I love her but nothing about this makes sense,” avonlea002 echoed.

The 2024 Gucci Gift advertising campaign is apparently the gift that keeps on giving. Spread across five chapters, chapter one served up Kendall Jenner and gang evoking the spirit of the legendary Savoy hotel in London. Chapter two saw Jenner join Kirsty Hume and daughter Violet, with the casting venturing off on an alpine adventure. The third installment of the Gucci Gift campaign celebrates all-things family for the festive season. Gucci creative director Sabato De Sarno casts Tina Knowles and Solange Knowles as the embodiment of the campaign. Also part of the cast for chapter three are Duyen Nguyen, Lauren Nguyen, Chloe Nguyen, Mariel Hemingway, Dree Hemingway, Langley Fox Hemingway, and Yanii Gough. Each of the three families were captured by De Sarno favorite Anthony Seklaoui for the occasion.

The 2024 Gucci Gift ‘Chapter 3’ Campaign with Tina Knowles, Solange Knowles & More:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Wow, that’s bad,” shrieked BlueRuin upon first look.

“WTF is that light placement?” asked a dumbfounded avonlea002.

“This is supposed to make me want to buy these products? Riiiiiiiight,” blueorchid laughed.

Also far from impressed was forum member Frederic01. “This is absolutely terrible and impossibly cringe. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I thought Gucci was supposed to be pursuing ‘brand elevation’ and ‘timeless appeal’? How is this anything here of a elevated or timeless nature?” they questioned.

“If we had razzie awards for fashion, Gucci would take them all at this point,” declared GivenchyAddict.

Sabato De Sarno is yet to show any signs of ditching Kendall Jenner as the face of Gucci. The American model was first the face of the Gucci Valleria campaign (alongside Bad Bunny) and was more recently welcomed as part of the cast for chapter one of the Gucci Gift campaign for the 2024 holiday season. Jenner is back for the second chapter, of the Gucci Gift campaign, coming together with Kirsty Hume, Violet Hume, Addison Soens, Diane Chiu, Devyn Garcia, Jannik Sinner, and Nile Winchester. Entitled “To the Mountains”, the Gucci gang head off on a festive alpine adventure via the lens of photographer Anthony Seklaoui (a firm fave of Gucci creative director Sabato De Sarno).

The Gucci Gift Chapter 2, 2024 Campaign with Kendall Jenner, Kirsty Hume & More:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Oh dear, this is truly sad and tragic. Nothing about this campaign is chic or charming or anything. A Gucci branded sweater with a GG monogram cardigan over the top paired with GG mittens and GG hat, and then finished off with a GG monogram duffle. They couldn’t possibly insert any more logos into that look if they tried. And Kendall Jenner at a brand that is allegedly trying to become more ‘timeless’ and ‘elevated’? Seriously?” asked Frederic01.

“These people are getting paid millions for coming up with sh*t like this. Have fun while the ship is sinking,” voiced an unforgiving avonlea002.

Also majorly underwhelmed was jeremydante. “Casting Kendall Jenner is pointless. It really is. It’s almost lazy. And I get it, she can be a canvas but it’s so flat here,” they critiqued.

“Admittedly, I don’t mind the sight of Kendall Jenner here or the photography from Anthony Seklaoui. However, there’s no denying it all just feels a little… cheap coming from a brand like Gucci. The sense of luxury, once again, completely missing from a Sabato De Sarno Gucci campaign,” slammed vogue28.

Make no mistake ELLE Spain is one of those magazines we anticipate each and every months, here at theFashionSpot. Can you blame us? Covers over recent months alone, starring the likes of Bianca Balti, Penélope Cruz, Monica Bellucci, Diane Kruger, Susan Sarandon, Eniko Mihalik, and Valentina Sampaio have wowed us to no end. Next up on the cover of ELLE Spain for November 2024 is none other than Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu. Editor Benedetta Poletti insisted the French actress (perhaps best known as Sylvie in Netflix’s Emily in Paris) pose for photographer Nicolas Valois across a duo of covers. In the first cover, Philippine is all smiles in a look from Sabato De Sarno’s Fall 2024 Gucci collection. Stylist Bárbara Garralda then selected a little black Sportmax dress for Leroy-Beaulieu to rock in cover two (after the jump).

Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu on the November 2024 Covers of ELLE Spain:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Mother,” simply declared JPineapple upon checking out the two covers.

“LOVEEEEE! Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu should be getting so much more exposure than Lily Collins,” expressed forum member marsnoop2.

“This is lovely. Great use of color too,” instantly admired Nomar.

“You can never miss with Ms. Sylvia,” Deleted Member 1957 enthused.

Vogue28 was also very much a fan. “Absolutely love Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu! She is one of the most chic and sexiest women on TV right now and always looks fantastic. Always down for seeing Philippine splashed across the covers of fashion magazines and all involved have done a superb job here. The cover with the little black dress is my favorite!” he raved.

Oaklee91 used the word “sublime” to describe the outcome and we couldn’t possibly disagree.

Subsequent to joining Gucci as creative director in early 2023, Sabato De Sarno has been unable to catch a break. Under the Italian designer’s direction (in addition to declining sales), the luxury Italian fashion house’s advertising campaign imagery has seen better days. Not even campaigns lensed by David Sims and Mario Sorrenti (often starring a bevy of fresh-faced talents) have sufficed. Umpteen campaigns later, there are zero signs of improvement with chapter one of the Gucci Gift 2024 campaign for the festive holiday season ahead. In an attempt to generate buzz, De Sarno brought back Kendall Jenner as the face of Gucci, who is joined by Jessica Chastain, Hiandra Martínez, Lineisy Montero, and Ni Ni. The cast poses for Anthony Seklaoui, with the campaign opening up in a tribute to The Savoy in London (a nod to the hotel where founder Guccio Gucci worked as a porter).

The 2024 Gucci Gift Campaign:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Tragic! Kendall Jenner for Gucci is so LAME. Don’t get me started on the artistic direction which is giving mid-range US department store. And Kering wonders why their brand keeps sinking,” Frederic01 voiced.

“Gucci believe they’re at a luxury level, but they’re so hungry for those seasonal profits, they’re willing to advertise on the level of Kate Spade or Michael Kors,” tigerrouge chimed in.

Yasouss stated: “I’ve seen better holiday ads from Tommy Hilfiger!”

“The setting looks really cheap,” noted forum member MDNA.

Hchloe wasn’t best impressed either. “God this is so depressing,” they shared.

“This is wrong. So, so wrong,” GivenchyHomme exclaimed.

“This campaign shows an astonishing lack of creativity. It feels so uninspired that even a department store would pass on it,” shrieked ah ah.

On October 26, Jennifer Lopez showed up in a chic outfit from No. 21 for the premiere of “Unstoppable” at the American Film Institute Festival 2024. However, the singer-actor donned a look quite different from what she usually opts for. While J.Lo is best known for her over-the-top red carpet fits, she went the opposite route for the “Unstoppable” premiere.

Jennifer Lopez pairs stunning Gucci platform heels with No. 21 ensemble

Jennifer Lopez was a sight to behold on the American Film Institute Festival red carpet as she showed up to the “Unstoppable” premiere in a chic No. 21 outfit. The ensemble was part of the brand’s Resort 2025 collection. The look consisted of an oversized canvas jacket in cream with a stunning blouse with a plunging neckline layered underneath. She paired it with a cute micro-miniskirt in pink, with its bubble hemline adding intrigue to the overall look.

The recent outfit was unique, as the singer often tends to reach out for dramatic pieces for her red carpet appearances. Her No. 21 fit was toned down with muted hues, making up the majority of the look. Jennifer Lopez tied the chic outfit together with a brown leather belt and a white mini handbag.

According to WWD, she was styled by Mariel Haenn and Rob Zangardi, with Chris Appleton responsible for her hair and Scott Barnes for her makeup. Lopez kept her beauty choices minimalistic. Her hair was simply parted down the middle and her eyes were accentuated with a smokey eye makeup look. For her lips, she kept it nice and shiny with a pale pink lip shade.

However, the star brought the drama to the event with her glamorous four-story Gucci platform heels. She went with a nude shade for the accessory, which played well into the muted color palette. The heels had a simple design with tiny cutouts at the front, letting its height turn heads instead.

Condé Nast spreading and sharing content across the globe with multiple editions of Vogue has become common practice. Take for example Vogue France forced to repurpose American Vogue‘s Kendall Jenner cover shoot. The magazine gets crafty again, with the unveiling of its October 2024 offering. Eugénie Trochu selects a shot from Mikael Jansson’s wide-spread Vogue story celebrating fashion shows throughout the decades. Anok Yai becomes a Vogue France cover girl in the process. The American beauty, who serves as the current face of megabrands like Fendi and Michael Kors Collection, shoots a look down Jansson’s lens sporting a voluminous afro and a lime green dress from Sabato De Sarno’s Gucci Cruise 2025 collection.

The October 2024 Cover of Vogue France with Anok Yai:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“The reprint thing is getting so depressing. All international Vogue editions have lost any semblance of a unique identity though I do really like this cover,” confessed Ribs666.

“I wasn’t expecting to actually love it,” kokobombon admitted.

“I’m not sure about the angle and maybe it could have been more zoomed in but the colors are fantastic,” shared forum member nejtak.

Ghostwriter10549 most definitely liked what they saw, enthusing: “Wow, this is so luxurious. Love it!”

“This is good. It’s commanding, sexy and luxurious. I love the tones. The lime dress and the purple makeup suit Anok Yai so well,” favored Valentine27.

“Beautiful colors. Beautiful cover photograph,” MModa approved.

Throughout 2024, there’s been a recurring theme with the covers of Anna Wintour’s Vogue. The American fashion bible’s long-serving editor has welcomed old favorites back onto the title, with seven out of nine cover subjects (thus far) having fronted Vogue on previous occasions (often more than once). Four years after her last, Billie Eilish is welcomed back as a Vogue cover star, with the unveiling of the November 2024 issue. Wintour first welcomed Eilish onto the magazine in 2020, celebrating the American singer-songwriter and Grammy Award-winning artist with a quartet of covers. This time, Billie poses on just one cover, via the lens of photographer Mikael Jansson. In the intriguing cover shot, Eilish is styled by Ib Kamara in a Gucci suit and a shirt and tie from Bottega Veneta.

Billie Eilish on the November 2024 Cover of Vogue by Mikael Jansson:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“This does absolutely zilch for me. Never been one for Billie Eilish, and I despise that leaning into the camera pose. The colors aren’t at all bad, and I like the icy blue eyes and the makeup look on Billie here,” vogue28 voiced the moment the cover dropped.

“The only thing I like about the cover are the colors,” MModa added.

“The colors ARE really nice,” admitted forum member blueorchid in agreement.

Also sharing the same approval toward the colors was MyNameIs. “LOVE the colors. Hate everything else,” they exclaimed.

“I like the colors but this looks like Taylor Swift’s September 2019 cover because of the pose,” Kenny pointed out.

“Also reminds me of Taylor’s September cover from 5 years ago, but I do like this more than I expected. IB Kamara doing the heavy lifting,” chimed in KoV.

Ever since Sabato De Sarno became Gucci creative director in 2023, the Italian designer has preferred most of the brand’s campaign imagery to feature a white backdrop, photographed inside the studio, and shot by David Sims. A dramatic change in direction is in the air, however, with the unveiling of the Gucci Cruise 2025 advertising campaign. In May, De Sarno staged his Cruise 2025 showcase within the walls of London’s Tate Modern museum – with the accompanying advertising campaign also photographed within the British capital. The legendary and iconic American singer Debbie Harry is the face of the Gucci Cruise 2025 collection, shot by famed photographer Nan Goldin. Throughout the campaign series, shot inside the back of a London black cab, Harry is joined by some canine companions and totes the Gucci Blondie handbag.

The Cruise 2025 Gucci Campaign with Debbie Harry by Nan Goldin:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Debbie Harry for the Blondie bag is great. The bag, however. Tacky much?” asked Lola701.

“I wonder if this Debbie Harry campaign will just be a series of shots taken inside a taxi? Showcasing a variety of different handbags and dogs. Change your dog to match your handbag,” tigerrouge voiced.

“Zzzzz,” snoozed a disinterested matheus_s.

90sFan wasn’t all too impressed either. “I love Nan Goldin to bits, but art photographers are so bad at shooting fashion,” they pointed out.

Grimm reasoned: “At least it’s not another white studio shot. Of that, we can be thankful!”

“Not sold on this whatsoever, including the irony of Debbie Harry posing with the Gucci Blondie bag. I’m able to appreciate it’s not another Sabato De Sarno campaign by David Sims with a white backdrop but this just looks like an extension of Alessandro Michele’s Gucci for me,” shared vogue28.

On September 19, Sofia Vergara stunned at the “America’s Got Talent” (AGT) season finale red carpet in a strapless dress paired with some gorgeous jewelry. The “Modern Family” star was glammed up in statement jewelry pieces by Sabyasachi. While Sofia Vergara’s Gucci dress was simple, it paired perfectly with her bling, balancing out the overall look.

Sofia Vergara pairs Gucci dress with Sabyasachi jewelry

Last week, Sofia Vergara looked gorgeous on the “AGT” season finale red carpet, rocking a Gucci dress and Sabyasachi jewelry pieces. The dress was fitted and closely hugged the actor’s curves. Sofia Vergara’s strapless dress was a beautiful nude shade that reached to her ankles. It featured a sheer corset bodice and silver embroidery that covered the entire fit, lending a hint of dazzle to the otherwise minimal ensemble.

The “Griselda” actor’s jewelry pieces were also impressive, as she went with a necklace and earring set. Sofia Vergara’s Sabyasachi gold and silver jewelry was adorned with stunning rhinestones that added the perfect amount of bling to the overall look. She paired them with dazzling open-toed heels that beautifully complemented her ensemble. Vergara kept her hair and makeup quite minimal, parting her hair down the middle and styling it in soft waves.

On September 17, the “AGT” judge attended the finale performances in yet another form-fitting dress in a bright orange shade. The fit had a plunging V-neck and was supported by spaghetti straps. One of the straps was accessorized with a huge bow that covered her entire shoulder. The dress was quite minimalistic, with her accessories bringing in the drama.

Vergara rocked gold hoops, chunky bangles, and rings that perfectly complemented her orange fit. Moreover, her footwear stole the show as she donned a pair of gold sandals. Per Footwear News, the platform heels, which are a staple, were embellished with numerous crystals that added a hint of sparkle to her otherwise plain outfit.
