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!”

Vanity Fair might not hold the prestige it once did under the tutelage of Graydon Carter, but a whole bevy of A-list talents like Simone Biles, Anne Hathaway and Chris Hemsworth still don’t mind fronting the Condé Nast-owned fashion and culture title. For the magazine’s 2024 Hollywood edition, current editor Radhika Jones managed to secure Bradley Cooper, Natalie Portman, Pedro Pascal, Colman Domingo (…and more). Taking to Vanity Fair‘s June 2024 installment is Ayo Edebiri. The American actress and comedian who won a Golden Globe earlier this year for her performance in The Bear, poses for photographer Renell Medrano. Styled by Stella Greenspan, Edebiri reclines in a plush pink chair donning a sweatshirt and shorts from Marc Jacobs’ doll-inspired Spring 2024 collection.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I like that it’s someone new on a Vanity Fair cover. I’m sad there’s no smile because she lights up any picture when she does. Nobody should be forced to grin for a cover – but I’m not a fan of miserablism either,” voiced forum member tigerrouge.

“Absolutely love those shades of pink, the beauty styling and the Marc Jacobs. However, Ayo Edebiri’s expression and pose isn’t working for me here. It’s all a bit… solemn despite those lovely and happy shades of pink. A massively missed opportunity, a smile would’ve elevated this immensely,” echoed vogue28.

Also not exactly jumping for joy was Urban Stylin: “Expression and hands in the pockets ruined it!”

Not everyone, however, was left so dissatisfied. “I think it’s fine for Vanity Fair, I don’t hate it,” blueorchid confessed.

“I actually really like this. I love that she is not smiling, it balances with the bubble gum pink overload. Ayo Edebiri is so gorgeous and captivating, you do want to open and see more, even without an inviting smile. Great styling too!” Wolkfolk approved.

It would be an understatement to say that throughout most of 2021, Harper’s Bazaar simply hasn’t been our go-to fashion title. It’s all thanks to a slew of unimpressive covers despite the presence of A-list talent like Nicole Kidman, Beyoncé and Jane Fonda. Now to close out the year, the publication welcomes Hunter Schafer for December 2021/January 2022. In the cover image, the model, actress and activist wears a sequin Prada creation picked by Stella Greenspan for the shot captured by John Edmonds.

The end result took our forum members by surprise. “I like the colors,” admired mikel the moment the cover dropped.

“This is the most exciting cover so far under Samira’s tenure. Hunter looks beautiful and what really sets it apart, for me, is that they didn’t go the obvious Euphoria route and instead they let her natural beauty take center stage,” appreciated KINGofVERSAILLES.

“Samira finally knows how to saturate her covers. I love this!” raved crmsnsnwflks.

“This is undoubtedly my favorite cover under Samira…” proclaimed aracic.

“Hunter my dear, finally! It was about time!” declared JPineapple.

Not everyone shared the same level of enthusiasm, however. “What a bland cover,” voiced liberty33r1b.

“Not a very flattering shot of Hunter,” an underwhelmed woemwoem pointed out.

“I still don’t know where Samira wants to take this magazine,” said MON.

“Despite the nice coloring, this still feels like just another glum and lifeless Harper’s Bazaar cover to add to the pile during Samira Nasr’s extremely tedious and uneventful tenure. I will, however, give Nasr major kudos for giving newsstands a wash of transgender representation,” added vogue28.

Samira Nasr at the helm of Harper’s Bazaar has ultimately proved to be somewhat questionable. Over the last three months, covers starring Megan Rapinoe, Gigi Hadid and even Beyoncé have failed miserably according to our forum members. Now the mag serves up Nicole Kidman for October 2021, whose last U.S. Bazaar cover appearance was back in 2012. Almost nine years later, the Aussie actress sports a head full of curls and a dress from Christian Dior’s Fall 2021 collection picked by stylist Stella Greenspan for the cover image captured by Collier Schorr.

“This magazine is so sad now,” said caioherrero.

“I just want to cry now…” added amby.

“Samira Nasr has just sucked the life out of American Harper’s Bazaar and this is yet another month in which I am dumbfounded as to how such a drab and lifeless cover has seen the light of day! Collier Schorr certainly doesn’t help matters, either,” voiced vogue28.

“Possibly the worst edition of Harper’s Bazaar in the worldwide lineup, especially given it’s supposed to be the one that leads the rest and has no excuse for its content like a lack of resources,” stated tigerrouge.

“Someone please break all Collier Schorr’s cameras and ban that woman from fashion…” declared dontbeadrag.

Meanwhile, charles01 wasn’t buying it, either. “That is not a flattering cover at all. It doesn’t do Nicole justice at all.”

“That’s a very rough-looking Nicole Kidman,” FashionMuseDior chimed in.

KINGofVERSAILLES called the cover “atrocious.” But do you agree?

Our forums have been quite vocal when it comes to Samantha Barry’s vision for Glamour, repeatedly calling out the questionable art direction since day one. We can’t fault her choice in cover subjects, however, as Barry often selects women not typically featured on other mainstream fashion glossies, including Melissa McCarthy and Tiffany Haddish. This month’s cover girl is also a breath of fresh air: actress and web series creator Issa Rae, who was photographed by Petra Collins and styled by Stella Greenspan for The TV Issue.

Dare we say our forum members are warming to the new Glamour? “If they had put the old masthead on this cover I would have been pleasantly surprised. A step in the right direction I guess,” said A.D.C upon checking out the cover.

“I am in love with Issa Rae and Insecure and it turns out she can’t take a bad photo even if they tried. There is a selfie quality to the image that’s somehow fitting for a magazine cover in 2018,” dodencebt pointed out.

“I quite like it! The colored bars at the bottom were unnecessary though. A bit too literal,” said mikel.

But not everyone was into it. “They could’ve done her way more justice than this! She’s really beautiful, and I find that her hollow orbits often makes her profile look all the more stunning. But the angle, necklace, styling and background makes this look way too pedestrian. Not a fan at all,” Benn98 voiced.

“Looks like a bad fan-made cover to me,” said Piet Retief.

“Ridiculous… again,” snarled jal718.

Ken Doll Jenner thought the same, commenting, “She’s too beautiful to be given Glamour‘s juvenile treatment!”
