UK Vogue June 2025 : Bella Hadid by Steven Meisel

When I saw the cover I thought it was Miss Diana Ross.
Looking quickly, the photos are beautiful and have Meisel's magic, but in the details we see the "errors", the last photo should have been excluded from the edition.
 
There's nothing special about this cover, and editorial. In a few shots, it's even giving drag race...
The Meisel fanatics here, will grasp at every available straw, to make his most uninspired, and mediocre efforts, seem magical tho.
 
The Princess of Nazareth is back

Thank god I couldn't take any more of her scented cooking spray promotion even if i bought her fizzy lifting drink
 
She looks clueless, it's like she doesn't really know what to do with her body and face. The only photo that works is the one where she is touching her hair.
It's still the best ed and cover under Chioma, the bar has been set so low that even Meisel's assistant's autopilot work seems great.
 
Not even Steven Meisel can make Bella interesting — and this editorial is proof of that. Classic Meisel and terrible expressions from an overrated model.
couldn't have said it better myself. if she disappeared from modelling tomorrow and never returned, it would be a welcome relief and still somehow not soon enough.
 
I am not a Bella Hadid (or Gigi) fan but the cover and photographs by Meisel are fabulous! I love the hair, jewelry, fashions, and Bella's modelling in every shot. Bella looks like a goddess and is definitely working it. It is a must-have issue for me just for this cover story alone. However, I do wish that there was at least one color photo to make the story alive a bit.

Easily the best Chioma Nnadi's had to offer thus far. Beautiful images!

My sentiments exactly. The strongest cover of British Vogue in quite some time, and the inclusion of Steven Meisel feels like the good old days (like fourteen months ago). It looks like an Edward Enninful cover, and because Chioma Nnadi's covers have been so dull and mundane - I'm here for it.

My first thought was Jean Shrimpton by Richard Avedon in 1973 for Jun Ropé.
 
i don't like the styling but ok i can tolerate it...the worst thing is the facial expression....she is not striking enough to pull it off...i don't mind if she looks older but everything is too forced....and whoever does the post production of Meisel's work need to go away....

Even if you think of her as a celebrity and not a model...she cannot pull it off...
 
Her head's too big for her body in the cover shot. But this is one of Chioma's best covers. Poor girl doesn't know how to properly set an identity to her mag, though. How did we go from Billie Eilish's lazy headshot to this glamorous photo of Bella? I think Chioma should stick to THIS type of cover moving forward.
