US Vogue December 2022 : Jennifer Lopez by Annie Leibovitz

[Ivanity86]

everything is so wonderful, the cover, the colors, the editorial, the clothes, even the style of Alex harrington surprised me (not in all the photos), I usually don't like his messy job (I'm from the old guard, I love Tonne , Grace, Camilla, Phyllis). a cover that recalls the glorious times of Vogue, if only inside there was a leaping editorial by David Sims, an editorial by Mario Testino around the world, it would all be so beautiful, but it's just a utopia, it will be subtle and full of shared content from untalented photographers

Apparently this cover is meant to be a tribute/homage to this photo of Eartha Kitt by Gordon Parks

Love the cover its the return of US Vogue of the early 2000s

 

[VogueGirl8910]

It's a fine cover & the edit is good. Nice than Ben Affleck didn't appear on the feature.

I'm sorry, but I think this is terrible. I just can't take it seriously.

 

[kasper!]

I am surprised that she only 3 US covers...I thought it would be 5 or 7 considering her level.

Does anybody know how many Latinas on Vogue US since 1988?

I guess only her, Selena Gomez and Scarlet Johansson (jk)

That Marc Jacobs shot of her is fabulous!
Jlo is always a good idea because she is always committed!
I’m not the biggest fan of Leibovitz but Jlo is giving her all so…

This cover story is maybe stronger than the one by M&M even if the 2012´s was better in terms of post-production. Nothing will ever top her Testino 2005’s issue.

And Talisa Soto.

 

[KoV]

Wouldn’t Gisele be considered Latina, as she’s from Brazil? And Cardi B is Dominican-American so I think she’s Latina as well.

Interesting inquiry @kasper!. Looking at the Vogue archives, Kara Young, who is Belizean on her mother’s side, has 2 of the 1988 covers. And from my teen daze, Brandi Quinones got the April 94 cover. Those are the 2 off the top of my head, but I’m sure there are more Latina models— like Talisa and Gisele as mentioned, on the cover of American Vogue from 88 on. I get that such a revelation is a strike in the heart on this weird generation’s obsession with headcounts, but back then, we just considered beauty of the highest standards and high fashion wasn’t in the domain of city council :shrugs:

Anyway, this cover isn't great but it’s not terrible by any means— if we’re simply talking about a certain level of professional and commercial creative objectivity.

Dismissal of this for looking dated, predictable, same old same old etc etc, all understandable— and it all is, and I would take those as compliments LOL American Vogue will never return to easy breezy classic American Vogue again, and this is as good as it’s going to get these days. After a marathon of covers either resembling cheap, desktop-publishing; or cheap SM selfies; or cheap mall glamour studio shoots; or simply just cheap cheap cheap, it’s good to see some semblance of skilled and experienced classic fashion imagery again, cuz that slop they were serving-- and will return to no doubt, is not even passably decent.

If nothing else, good to see her not be retouched to oblivion to resemble an avatar :cough:that other Jennifer’s hilarious Allure covershot:cough:. This Jennifer is shown more beautiful in her mature years: warm, feminine and smouldering. I’ll take it.(…cuz beggars can’t be choosers in 2022 fashion).

Salma Hayek, Joan Smalls

More latinas: Isabeli Fontana, Caroline Trentini, Raquel Zimmermann. Lupia is Kenyan-Mexican.

Penélope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Paloma Elsesser, Rosalía ?

 

[kokobombon]

^Rosalia and Penelope Cruz are spaniard, european. Hispanic sure, but not latinas.

That 2012 cover is good. Can’t remember ever seeing it before and it’s such a pleasure and an impact to see it now. Just classic silverscreen glam— like Rita Hayworth. Timeless. Too bad the wall of coverlines ruin the image. Also just checked the 2005 cover… Pretty, too department-store fragrance signage for me.

She must be a dream to shoot. She knows her angles and possesses an athlete's musculature, and yes— absolutely committed to give her all. I’d love to see her portrayed harder, more aggressive, more androgynous but still effortless, like something Emmanuelle would pull when she works with Mert/Marcus. And in B&W.

Yes the 2012 is even great but the Ed was too basic in a way. I love the 2005 ed and this one could have been great if it wasn’t for the horrendous photoshop.

What you describe Emmanuelle would do makes me think of what Carine did with her for V magazine with Testino. And Jlo delivered!

She has a real respect for Fashion and that’s why she is good. I think the older she gets, she will even be more willing to try.

^^^ The Mario/Carine V shoot was too typical popstar playing out a gimmick. Nicely executed— and she does always look good, but the shoot wasn't showcasing high fashion. Too see her stripped down of any gimmicks, costumes, roleplaying, and styled in a way that is more OG YSL by Helmut Newton, that brand of woman: Hard and still feminine, real and still elite, is what would take her to another level. Jennifer in Tom Ford/Ozwald Boetang/Haider menswear, and free of these dramatic flowing gowns would be such a welcome. And a cast of gorgeous men accompanying her wouldn’t hurt the least...

I wish they would stop it with this nonsense. The cover should be about the woman, not the scenery around them, but this is what we are doing now, apparently.
