Is this really the making of a supermodel? sorry but this is just a team underdelivering....Angelina included..

shaking, crying, and throwing up at the absolute gall of British Vogue to include screen reader descriptions 🤭


Cover is not good, there were better options.

Angelina is an undisputed star but these photos are unconvincing at best. A rare Jansson fail.

 

[audace]

I love the composition of the cover but it would have been more striking with a yellow, pink or green dress.

It is blue, because all prominent colours on the cover are the colours of the British flag (dress + background + masthead).

Description should've been : "Young white madwoman escapes asylum to take over the streets of London in crazy outfits."

I'm reminded of one of Edward's earlier covers with Fran wearing couture on the streets of London, which I did like slightly more than I do this. But it's easily one of Nnadi's better covers (which are scarce to say the least). You can count on Jansson to deliver!

That was NYC wasn’t it with Fran?

The contents are much more interesting than the cover

 

[WAVES]

not crazy about it and it’s a shame because it had everything to be amazing!

unfortunately, the styling is abysmal and I just can’t get past that.

I do like the Prada shot a lot.

That hairstyle in those studio shoots make me think they were cosplaying Margaret Thatcher🤔

I'm happy that it's a model on their cover, but why her?

On the bright side, Angelina Kendall is not a celeb or a diversity hire

 

[Mr Yayo]

We only get models on a cover once every blue moon and every time they managed to do a subpar job!

 

[Mr Yayo]

I'm happy that it's a model on their cover, but why her?

I thought the same. But who else?? These days most new models are a bit all the same and lukewarm in their skills. The few good ones are not pushed forward enough to be on the ‘brink of supermodel status’. I thought Lulu would kill this shoot- but she already did a similar one for British Vogue December issue. Plus she’s not that new on the scene. Then I thought about Karolina Spakowski’s brilliant story on the streets of London and THAT could have been a cover story introducing her as a top model to the British readers. But I guess a ‘white’ real model on a British Vogue cover is not a woke thing to do. Or actually, on this particular cover, you can be white but your parents/ancestors cannot *smh

They should have put Lulu or Bibi....hopefully for march....

first cover of 2025 and already the worst.
Her face looks like plastic surgery gone wrong, cover photos is really really bad, the pose also not the best. Terrible.

 

[matheus_s]

So thin

 

[newton91]

wow.. what a disaster. you get a top model and this is what you come up with? where's the creativity. this is just so lazy.

Did I misread your screed or is Angelina Kendall not white???? She's definitely white passing, if she isn't "white." I guess you learn something new every day.

She’s Brazilian-Kiwi

She’s Brazilian-Kiwi

Ok and? It's like calling someone American, Australian, Canadian, etc. it doesn't specify if they're white or non-white or indigenous or whatever. I mean, Brazilians can be white-as-hell. Is she Maori on her father's side? Is that what makes her non-white?
