I'm positively surprised.

For US Vogue and for Gigi, this is a decent cover. She steals the spotlight and the athlete (how American to call him "the greatest") is a nice addition.

Oooh I really like it! I actually really like Gigi and I think she looks good here. I like the composition of the cover, the set up is something a bit different and I enjoy that. I love that it's just Gigi looking in to the lens of the camera, it keeps the focus on her and the fashion angle while still celebrating sport and Ashton.

 

[Miss Dalloway]

Beautiful, and very happy to see Ashton here.

I do have to laugh though, last time they did an "Olympic" cover, it was THE worst seller of the last five years. But whatever Anna want's, she does!

 

[Aizanara]

Congrats Mario, you made Gigi look like Karlie Kloss
It would have been better if we could actually see the entire action. The pose is awkward. If you're doing a sport themed cover, at least try to bring life to the cover. Gigi is just staring. I still think she's a terrible model...
I don't like this, too cheap...

 

[AD011620]

Nah, I don't like this. Everything about this cover as far as Gigi is concerned comes across fake.

I really like it, even though Gigi reminds me of Nicole Richie here.

 

[MON]

The cover is decent, but this is not what I'm expecting Gigi's first US Vogue cover to look like. I was expecting to see a very radiant smile - a smile that is inviting and captivating (Can you imagine a cover where she's in the beach and she's all smiles?). This just looks odd. She looks gorgeous, yes. (However I am having a hard time reconciling what's going on with the brows) The body is amazing, yes. But the pose? What is up with that cropped arm? Please make this a fold out cover or else this just looks odd. It looks more of an editorial shot rather than one made for a cover. I love Gigi, and I expected a lot better. But nonetheless, this is decent.

Congratulations for locking the Top 4 in less than a year!

 

[Miss Dalloway]

She has now covered all big fours, wow, good for her.

He is just an after thought here though, ouch!

 

[gossiping]

this looks not like HF to me, definitely not vogue standard.

looks like another boring title that you see on the US newsstand...

 

[Benn98]

Actually ended up much better than I envisioned. Finally, a return to form for them. All that space on top of their heads look a bit odd, but otherwise I'll take this.

And yet another summer shot for August, hope this trend continues!

 

[TaylorBinque]

It is better than I would have expected but I feel like since Teen Vogue is also doing the Olympics issue and they actually nailed it. This cover is just lackluster. I mean what's the point of having him there when he looks like a prop instead of a co-star on the cover.

I think it's a great cover, Gigi looks really good. And congrats to her, I think she is the youngest model to complete the Big Four in such a short time?

 

[Pricciao]

The focal point falls on to the G bottom. Who wants to be lead to see the blur in the background really.

 

[LuneMelt]

Well , i like it. I won't complain at all

 

[fonghay]

She's come so fair and finally collected all the "Big four" Vogue covers. However the concept was not executed well with her mouth looking weird.

 

[gazebo]

The cover is all wrong for me.
It's not fashion, it's not sport.

 

[DutchHomme]

Not Vogue/no fashion at all but the photo is not bad

It's not "Special Edition Vogue" like Kendall
That Kendall thing was such a joke!

I'm really happy for Gigi. In two years, she has accomplished a lot of things and her sister is doing her own thing.

Out of all her big 4 Vogue covers, it's her worse. Testino is done for Vogue. He can't deliver anymore. He should focus on ads.
