Ysaunny Brito, Bhumika Arora, Sofie Hemmet, and Maggi Jablonski:

That wouldn't win any awards for 'best use of a brick wall on a fashion magazine cover'. Was there not some - any sort - of better background material than that?

I'm so happy for Ysaunny and Bhumika :wub:
Bhumika looks so good here!
 
Elle UK never strikes me as particularly daring when it comes to cover model selection so it's great to see some new faces and some diversity. I've no idea who any of them are but the girl whose head is in place of the 'L' is really delivering, my eyes go straight to her.

The photo itself seems very amateur, perhaps it's the choice of background but something about it is not right.
 
Kudos to the team at Elle UK for putting some fresh faces, but I agree with others who say Bhumika's the star of the show. Lesbihonest, she may as well be the only girl on the cover, she's got the makings of a supermodel.
 
Bhumika serving effortless supermodel. Pulling focus without trying. Gorgeous new cover faces but boring photo composition otherwise...major kudos to the casting and Arora needs an OG cover next time
 
It should've been only Bhumika! All eyes immediately go towards her. Glad for Ysaunny and the others as well, but overall I'm not a fan of this. Looks very budget.
 
This fails to leave an impression on me, unfortunately. It's dull as dishwater! Don't know any of the girls except for Ysaunny Brito after she scored the cover of Mexican Vogue. The cover looks more suited to Dazed & Confused, or some other publication.. totally out of left field for British Elle.

If anything it looks very generic. That brick wall background is beyond amateur hour. And the cast is quite bland. It could have worked if they booked better models.
 
good for maggie for scoring this after being AWOL for so long. she looks adorable.
 
This feels weak. There's something about it that doesn't feel right
 
Thanks for posting, I wish they stuck with the third aesthetic! Would you be able to post the accompanying article Fashion Mayhem, please?
