I got my subscription copy today and it is indeed the cover Kenny has posted above. I know I'm always complaining about subscriber covers, but I wish that if they're going to give me the newsstand shot they'd just give me the full version of the cover - it feels unbalanced with the other headlines simply deleted like that.
The cover is actually a fold out with the other picture being the same setup and outfit as the main shot, except that Timmy is smiling in it and somehow manages to look simultaneously 18 and 45. It just has his second name printed along the bottom, following on from the 'Timothée' shown on the front. The whole thing feels unnecessary but I guess Dior took out a fold-out advertisement on the reverse so this is what they came up with to accommodate it (I'd have preferred the b/w shot personally)!

Man of his Time
Timothée Chalamet by Steven Meisel
14 pages including article.
A couple of extra shots not posted yet. One in full colour with the same backdrop as the cover - it's a vertical shot but flipped over on its side so it runs across a double page spread. It looks like a cover try and would have made a much nicer one I think. There's also a nice black and white shot with his hair flattened down (and wet?) so it looks longer - it's lovely.
True Grit
Various models by Karim Sadli
Styled by Joe McKenna
12 pages including title page.
Don't hate me, but once again I don't know model names! Nice typical autumn shoot, the theme is "grown-up grunge". Shot in parks with shots on picnic tables, by a river, on a park slide etc.
Nowstalgia
Imaan Hammam and Sora Choi (+ others) by Nadine Ijewere
Styled by Gabriella Kareea-Johnson
14 pages.
Mainly Imaan and Sora, but with a couple of shots featuring more models. Retro 50's (?) American kind of feel. Shot in gas stations and cars with a mix of studio as well.
Nouveau in Town
Hoeyon Jung, Chloe Grace Moretz, Renate Reinsve, Gemma Chan, Phoeve Dynevor and Eileen Gu (+ portrait of Nicolas Ghesquiere) by Gregory Harris
Styled by Dena Giannini
8 pages including article.
Feature on Louis Vuitton's latest collection, each lady has a page. Feels very much like it'll be shared content. Half of the shots are on rooftops and the others are in a studio.
She Walks in Beauty
Lila Moss by Sean Thomas
Styled by Tabitha Simmons
6 pages.
Lila photographed in the countryside in the same Miu Miu boots throughout, styled with different outfits. It's cute, feels a bit Harper's Bazaar UK.
+ features on Gigi and her cashmere line, Marina Hyde, Emilia Wickstead and Olena Zelenska. Plus a spotlight feature on six Ukranian designers.
I've only had a quick flick through, but there's also the usual front-of-book sponsored content with various beauty and fashion shots too

Overall it seems like a nice issue, and it feels substantial enough, but it's nothing groundbreaking - it's more something you'd flick through on an autumnal weekend afternoon rather than one to save forever.
