I quite like this! Love the red/blue contrast, the strong expression (beautiful face!), it all works well together.

Who she?

I love how symmetrical that cover is. Also, I do agree with Aracic. You can never go wrong with blue and red.
The cover editorial is STUNNING. It reminds me of most ELLE UK's aesthetic way back in 2016.

The UK magazines really avoided the A list this month bar the global Weeknd cover. They were landing bigger stars at the height of the pandemic.

Who she?

Ramla Said Ahmed Ali is a Somali professional boxer, model, author and racial equality activist. She is the first male or female Somali boxer in history to compete at the Olympic Games and the first female to become a professional boxer.

Wow, this is stunning! This is what a september cover must look like. Like it or not, Elle UK has best covers than Vogue with less budget and (surprise, surprise) an Editori in Chief. Condé Nast should take notes.

So many dark clothes.

LOL @Just how juvenile, literal the shot is: She’s a pugilist— so she’s hitting you LOOOL

Is humility foreign to this new generation now??? …”Unstoppable, unshakeable, unbeatable” boxer/model/author/activist. She is beautiful and reminds me of Debra Shaw, but the hyped coverline and pose is such a turn-off.

Given that magazines can't do right for doing wrong, just wait until we get the wave of 'public opinion' about how only beautiful female athletes get media coverage, and how magazines are complicit in promoting women's appearance over their actual achievements.

218 pages. Tavi Gevinson's feature is the highlight of this issue in my opinion.

One of my favourite September covers! This truly does look superb on the shelves, extremely bold and eye-catching - exactly what a fashion magazine could should be (especially for September). The image of Ramla Ali itself is striking enough but the colours and symmetrical layout does wonders.
