UK Elle December 2024/January 2025 : Riley Keough by Olivia Malone

Not the most exciting, but also not the worst.

Magazines that put out a Dec-Jan issue face the dilemma of whether or not to reference any sort of holiday on the cover. UK Elle has gone for 'Christmas doesn't exist'.

I dislike the whole concept of a December/January issue period. It misses the opportunity to go all-out for Christmas (like 90s-era Victoria Secret Christmas catalog glamour), and then a "fresh start" January cover. I wish they were separate. Put October/November together instead, no one needs October after the September issue.

Probably not to alienate their customer base that doesn't celebrate Christmas.
 
Although that would probably be a minority of people in the UK, and an even further minority inside of that minority would ever be buying women's magazines to begin with.

If your religious principles absolutely forbid you from getting the tinsel out, you probably don't approve of freely reading about what people do with their vaginas either, no matter how informative about reproductive health the magazine article may be.

Love the mood of thecover and ed reminds me of 2000s cover. She does look like Elvis with the dark hair.

beautiful cover, looks no different than a standard late 90s Elle Fr cover, Riley looks charming and the deep blue is surprising for December. "Business in the Front" is well made too, almost something M le Mag du Monde used to do under Koller but calmer. The Erdem and jewelry ed throw the mood off a bit, I'd rather explore further into the first 2 stories vibe. makeup ed is a waste of Peter Phillips.
 
Their best cover in a long time

Sure does feel like it! This one hits all the right notes. Riley Keough has been photographed beautifully by Olivia Malone here. I love those shades of blue, and that opening shot from the cover shoot is beautiful.
