UK Vogue April 2025 : Bella Ramsey by Paolo Roversi

[alwaysademo]

best Roversi ed in recent times. I find the cover completely captivating, like I stopped scrolling and just stared at it. Something is right here. Bella has an aura.

Is it really random though? The second season of her very popular and successful HBO show is about to premiere.

Hi Mikel. From my point of view, not the others, feels random to THIS Vogue. I can't relate The Last Of Us with the target audience of British Vogue, though their cover stars over the first year post Edward gave me that feeling to me. I find it too American for them, even if it's a hit everywhere. I can't connect her with a fashion magazine from other place outside US. But you're right that anyone can be Vogue now. If Gwyneth Paltrow appeared with Iron Man on the cover years ago, even Marvel and Vogue wasn't expect to connect one day, and in this current time, you can find the most unexpected cover subject on the front of Vogue. And most of the magazines now were made to appeal fandoms, not historic readers. So there's a group happy with any cover subject of the Vogues. Good for her thought, an it's nice to see a person with autism talking about it from that place. I can relate with her from that but the series, I'm not into. Also I'm happy for Roversi doing the cover.

Good thing magazines aren't all about you and your interests then, eh.

The Last of Us 2 (the game) was one of the best selling Playstation 4 games, too.

Yes, this cover story could be interesting, but I find myself wondering, is it very Vogue?

When the rest of your issue is full of women of achievement as political ambassadors or as the head of companies/institutions, plus interiors as owned by the 1% and clothes that cost thousands of pounds presented as standard essentials, this cover story feels like a quirk.

On the other hand, I often want fashion magazines to take a person and present them in a different way - and they have.

^^ And yours of course. I'm scared if they do.

I agree with Mikel, he's kind, and I give the word to him because he brings solid arguments, but I can't take it seriously from someone that is so mean to many people here, and of course I. Playing the victim again? Bring that card lady

She would look good in Victorian settings, her face is doll-like

@ivano Yeah, I'm the one making it personal and playing the victim. Right.
