It looks good, and she is really red.

I actually like this. It reminds me of the 90s. It feels so natural, and it's actually refreshing and relaxing. However, I wish they placed the logo behind her.

Amazing how she booked US and UK Vogue in 1 year.

So Kim for September?

I like the styling but it´s so hard for me to like her in print, there´s always something lacking.

I like that it's a summer cover for August, they rarely do that. Nice to see Alicia again, but crikey, the one side of her shoulder is longer than the other? As a result the space looks disproportionate.

Let me guess, dressed by LV.....

Maybe it's because I am from Holland but I ALWAYS love it when I see a Vogue cover shot outdoor with blue sky

This is a lovely surprise considering the speculations that it's probably Kim on the cover. I like it, very fresh and summery, even though Alicia doesn't convey much emotion in print.

 

[Miss Dalloway]

What a bad cover, wow! Her face expression is not cover worthy, there had to be better images than this, but then i really think Vikander always lacks that spark she has on the big screen in magazines, she just doesn't work in print, for me.

Great to see Alicia ! It's a nice summer cover, even though her expression is a bit off.
I imagine the main ed will be her wearing LV... not looking forward to that !

 

[ThatGuyPaul]

I like this, I like it a lot.

 

[Hchloe]

Her expression and pose looks off here. She's so beautiful but she just doesn't photograph well.

But I love that its a summer/outdoor cover.

 

[MyNameIs]

This has no gravitas to be a Vogue UK cover. It's just a random person, in a random pose on a random magazine.

Also, why is the text on their covers always looking so AMATEUR?

 

[jeffandtheworld]

Love everything except the mid-expression and the awkward hand..

How predictable.... How boring...

I love this woman so much that I can't help but like this. But I guess I'm biased, I adore her

 

[honeycombchild]

She's akin to Emilia Clarke for me; captivating and absolutely beautiful. But it doesn't quite come through in the photographs well. I like that it's full on summer mode for the August issue, I'm going to give them that. But otherwise I think it's a rather lacklustre image. At least she's new, she's not Kim Kardashian and she's not in an angora roll neck sweater. Silver linings!

 

[dcmaike]

Everytime I see a Cover with her on it I think they could have made more out of it.

 

[VogueGirl8910]

I don't like it.

 

[HeatherAnne]

I thought she was wearing a dress splattered in wet sand until I clicked on the larger image, and man what a letdown it was to see this bigger. Terrible dress, vapid expression, terribly awkward pose. Bah.

 

[tigerrouge]

Nice blue sky, but that shot is so lifeless. I can see what they're going for - natural beauty, an easy life, nothing fussy for summer - but that makes this image seem more like an advert for holistic women's health via vegetable juicing, rather than a new-season issue full of fashion advice and excitement. It's as if UK Vogue have forgotten they're a real fashion magazine. Sometimes I think they're on perpetual holiday.
