US Harper’s Bazaar May 2025 : Linda Evangelista by Anthony Seklaoui

[MModa]

“She just wants to live”… who’s stopping her?

Linda unfortunately had breast cancer, among other health issues, and we all know what can sometimes happen. She has been through a lot during her time off (before the People and UK Vogue covers). As a result, Linda is very appreciative of life and wants it to go on for the longest. The headline makes a lot of sense if you read the article.

I don't know, I don't like this story, Linda wants to be in fashion magazines, but she wants to be hidden in blurs and lights.

I was almost going to hate everything when I saw that cover and so many comments here but THANK GOD Zorka for this amazing editorial !!!! SO SO SO many good options, I can sleep now ahahahaha. I'm so pleased with the photos and I'm shocked they chose ''that'' shot with such harsh light instead of the many other great options. At the very least 5 pictures from the editorial would have made a much better cover. I want that videoooooo from the covershoot now and YES I'm and will always be there for SUPERMODELS every single year on every single month but with the right pictures worthy of being covershots. Now, it would be good for magazines to remember that OTHER 90's supermodels were there and still live lol so Linda, Naomi and Christy or Cindy yes but it would be interesting to know and see others.

..... so Linda, Naomi and Christy or Cindy yes but it would be interesting to know and see others.

There are not other Supermodels than the 90's ones + Paulina Porizkova (80's) + Kate + Gisele.

Other were merely top models and they are never going to come back in a big way.

Oh Noooo, my eyes

It’s not the most enjoyable Ed to see but she looks fantastic.
I will never get tired of her because I just love her posing. It’s always very reminiscent of 1950’s models for some reason and I find it refreshing. She has that old school glamour she brings everywhere…

The styling could have been more adventurous though.
I want to see her in Runway looks! Louis Vuitton, Versace, BV, Burberry I don’t know! Do something fun with her…

I also think her face is quite 50s, I’ve been looking at a lot of editorials from that era recently and lots of models have something reminiscent of Linda that other models don’t have now.

Precision, I would say. There's the same sense of precision in Linda - the clean lines and elegance that's inherent in her modelling - that you also see in the looks of the 1950s, and how people held themselves when being photographed.

She’s just perfect

The unabashedly extreme level of the Brightness and Dodge PS tool applied on her selects is hilariously OTT that she's transformed into Milla.

Despite this comparison, Linda has more high-fashion features. No wonder she became a supermodel.

^^^ She’s so high fashion, so high concept these days that she’s becoming more and more reduced to just eyes, nostrils, and a mouth wrapped in volumes and more volumes of fabric LMFAO

And despite this, many people/fans, including myself, still love seeing her on magazine covers and in fashion stories.

 

[Phuel]

^^^ She’s so deeply ingrained into not just casual fashion fans’, but even the general public’s consciousness, as a symbol of high fashion imagery, that she’s simply accepted, and even adored, no questions asked, as a fashion avatar these days. It’s understandable. It’s just also hysterically, hilariously ironic that her shoots have now been reduced to a retouching project for photographers, and an exercise in how to hide her body— sometimes even her head save her face, for stylists LOOL For someone who’s so self-conscious and so insecure of her looks now, I can’t imagine how such retouching and styling must do to her self-perception…

Models age— and some age poorly. I friend who was a model up until she was in her late-20s was doing wonderfully. Until one day cellulite visited her and never left. She went from being so open with her body, shooting nude with no reservations, to feeling more self-conscious of her body, with her agency suggesting she be a plus-size model. Had she been a famous name like Linda, I would imagine her cellulite would be retouched and she’d be styled in shapeless volume. But she’s not famous, and she left the industry. People adore Linda, so of course here she is: Digitally illustrated to perfection LOL

And I’ll gladly take a naturally-aging Nadja (with minimum retouching) on the cover of Vogue Germany anytime, anyway, anywhere— even when photographed by the reliably mid Scott Trindle.

Linda Evangelista looks fantastic nowadays, she doesn't need all that light. Blame the photographers and fashion people who in this 2025 they have NO talent.

I agree. I should add Cindy and Claudia (and maybe Helena) to that group. They're not part of the trinity, but those girls were so popular and had the same number of jobs as the trio.

Blown out AF.
Imagine being a photographer and ruining your chance to shoot an icon like Linda Evangelista.

The embarrassment. Love seeing Linda each and every time. The most major comeback story of all.

 

[fashionsavvvvvy]

I am not a die-hard fan of her and i do get tired of her story but i think she still gets it as a modrl and i wanna see her as a model in magazine, just less story. And yes i would take her over newer girls if the ones fashion industry wanna push down our throats now are Amelia or Lila
