WHYYYYYYYY have they chosen this depressing shot of Gisele ???
I can't believe her or her team approved this gloomy cover or expression!!!
I love her but this isn't a good one.
The smiling one isn't bad but too cheesy for my taste, a sultry stare and strong eye contact would have been a way more powerful and better cover.

Malika superstar? Right lol, we barely know her, she isn't bad but she isn't on Gisele level come on y'all at french Elle!!!

AND AGAIN : HOWWWWW did Gisele accept to be on a multi cover issue???
Who's doing her PR ??? ...

 

[Lola701]

Tha Alaia cover is perfect! Perfectly Elle and slightly nostalgic because Elle used to feature Alaia a lot.

I think Elle uses cleverly it contributing editors even if the fact that Geraldine got the same relationships as Alt means that a Gisele can be on the cover of M le Monde and Elle.

Malika and the MiuMiu cover are not what you want from a special mode.

^This Alaia cover was the only one needed and this is what I can see for Elle US. (Let's not forget the Gisele x Alaia x Bensimon editorial relieved:

Malika does nothing for me. Was never really impressed by her tbh.

 

[Zorka]

WOW, after a couple of boring past issues, finally - a treat!

Thanks for the heads-up, my love @vogue28, can't wait to put my hands on this!

P.S. Tonight, we will have an EXCLUSIVE, I promise you that.

The Alaia cover is lovely!

Alaia + Bensimon + Carlyne on Rue de Moussy…Heaven!
The back of Gisele in that Alligator tail wool coat: Le rêve.

It reminds me how I miss Carlyne. I would love to see her work in ELLE or M le Monde or even one of those independent publications…

The first one is so unnecessary

 

[Lola701]

Personally, I just casually love how every year for the fashion issue, ELLE France just casually gets a big name. This is a weekly magazine and when VP has Dua Lipa, Vogue UK has a 90’s nostalgia, ELLE Us has Zendaya, ELLE France shows that it matters and also has an iconic model…

‘And if you ask me, between Dua ( that I love) in Alaia and Gisele in Alaia, the choice is quickly made…

Post the pics! I want to see

It’s unfortunate Malika got the catalogue-styling and bland portrait covershot. Had she been styled and shot in the same fashion as Gisele, she would easily outshine Gisele.

 

[Lucien112]

Didn't have my glasses on and thought it said "STYLE AND FAILURE" which actually is what the first photo is.

Why am I getting deja vu from the Le Monde editorial with Gisele and Sims from 2022?

The 'M Le Magazine du Monde' Thread

 

[Zorka]

Here it is for you…

Thanks for the reminder dear @Lola701, but in my personal opinion she looks MUCH better now than 20 years ago! (Namely, back then she was too skinny with no muscles.)

 

[Lola701]

Great ed. It’s a good compromise between her Mother Earth and Bombshell persona. I like it very much….

That’s why I mentioned the fact that Alt and Saglio have the same aesthetic and same relationships…So it can be more of the same.

 

[Bertrando3]

I soooo knew it: the editorial has fat better cover worthy shots than the ones they chose.
I see 6 very strong contenders.
