UK Vogue September 2021 : Gemma Chan by Hanna Moon

[Hchloe]

Not the most flattering shot of her, but I like everything else.

 

[Yohji]

She kind of looks a little hungover but strangely it doesn't distract from the overall cover.

She’s giving me a bourgeoise being heartbroken after some glamorous party, hence the shoeless feet, and I live for it. Romantic, cinematic…there’s a true gimmickless narrative to it that today’s fashion covers severely lack.

That's a great way to describe it. I was thinking Jeanne Moreau the morning after the party in La Notte.

It's nice, but the images look like something Harper's Bazaar would do. Putting a Vogue masthead on it means people will assign more value to what they see.

I just saw this on Instagram and OMG she looks dead: not flattering at all omg!!! The dress is nice but she looks bored as hell. Not a good one.

I hate that she's barefoot

She looks

I like it. A bit more zooming, nonetheless. Also... I dont like the barefoot look. Maybe its just me.

Not sure why it reminds me of Vogue Taiwan?

 

[TunHakii]

Hey Cardi B, give her shoes back please.

Wait so the September global theme is sunrise?

Gemma is the type of beauty that can command a simple grey background portrait with capital F fashion styling. She doesn’t need London to support her.

It’s a great cover! My theory of Meisel shooting models in European brands can go straight to trash.
It’s modern glamour…Quite boring but timeless. I don’t know if we would have appreciated it from US Vogue tbh. But UK Vogue is a great placebo for what US Vogue used to be…. 1 decade ago.

 

[VogueGirl8910]

The background is great, bu she looks bored & ruins the whole cover.

It's a lovely image and she looks good I guess... I'm yet to see something she's been in, besides that movie I saw during a flight about a wedding, which is basically a dumb 1.5 hour soap opera where no one showcased any particular talent..?

Wait, are you talking about Crazy Rich Asians? Did Dior Couture hack our account.....LOL
Anyway, yes it was corny to the max, but I thought Constance Wu stood out. She was the female lead, the bride in the movie.

So it seems some people on here don't know who Gemma is. And while tFS should never be used as a benchmark of how popular/relevant someone is, I now wonder how many others won't know her either. Because to me she's famous enough. This is her 2nd British cover, plus she appeared on Allure.

Stop .. I said she looks good!! diorcouture just suffers these days!

I know who she is! she was in that movie, just.. what else has she been in? the hot guy I've seen in plenty of other movies (or the trailers I guess) at this point..

 

[RedSmokeRise]

I dunno I thought she was pretty funny in that Soderbergh film where she was trapped against her will on a cruise ship with Meryl Streep....

Anyways! I love the cover (but why didn't they give her shoes), will probably end up being my fave Sept cover of the Big 4.
