US Vogue November 2021 : Adele by Alasdair McLellan

[amby]

What is she wearing on the cover? That is one ugly dress. Anyway, lovely to see her and I love the ed. Adele is just stunning, you can't go wrong with her.

I think it's Valentino Couture

I'm not sure if it's Meisel that makes be the UK cover 'better', I mean, I don't think anyone would win a 'contest' against Meisel. Not in principle and not on tFS.

But anyway, I actually like both for different reasons.
The US cover looks very fresh and regal, like a special edition almost. Alasdair really delivered. Also like the editorial. I think it's great that all the new photographers Vogue has been booking this year are keeping the visuals more aligned with the magazine than their identity.

Still don't get the idea to cover the same subject. It's obviously not a cost-cutting exercise because the expenses are still doubled, two entirely different teams. All it does is pit these two editions against one another in a 'who wore it best' sort of way. They must stop it, it's a terrible idea.

I wish the gown was slightly less… hideous. Also, is the cost-saving thing just that they could interview the same star? I’m confused as well that they have two different teams. I’ve never bothered to wonder if the cover subject gets paid. I’m assuming no because it’s publicity but do they?

Adele looks beautiful.

Celebs definitely don't get paid in the UK, but set/crew expenses and such are covered by the magazine. The celebs are the ones who stand the gain the most exposure from appearing on a cover.

Another reason why I loathe this idea is because I'm sure other top-name celebs say Germanotta or Beyonce, will now also want a double cover. It's bad enough for me that they'd get one, but both? It just gives too much coverage and ultimately, power to one name and that has never been good in any way.

I'm glad neither the cover nor captions make any mention about her 'new look', the bopo movement on Tik Tok would be in meltdown mode.

 

[matheus_s]

Someone can explain why shes on both vogue cover at the same time? Im kind of post here...

 

[gossiping]

it's part of some conde nast "strategy"

 

[FashionMuseDior]

It's also great exposure for Adele in two of her strongest markets and yet another way for both Steven Meisel and Anna Wintour to not work together.

Anyone knows what happend with them?

 

[Bertrando3]

OMG ahahahahh sorry but it's ugly ! Is she wearing a green trash bag on the cover??? The whole shoot feels so freaking cheap too oh myyy...
The only good shot is the one with the cardigan but that's about it.
I meannnn no question about it lol British Vogue clearly wins this round lol.
Not just that Meisel shot the UK version but the styling is light years away from what US Vogue did.
Again stupid ''strategy'' (if we want to continue to call it this way, although no one here believes that Condé Nast has a real plan anyhow loool) to put these two Vogue edition against each other and using the same cover subject (on top of being lame) proves they like to lose money lol.

 

[Horizontina]

There is something about the colors, texture, and composition of this cover that screams classic, timeless Vogue. It doesn't even seem to be at Adele's service. She blends in naturally, not calling attention upon herself, but rather fitting in like a piece in a puzzle. Everything comes together organically. For someone who is stubbornly attached to her trademark aesthetics, Anna shows an unusual acknowledgement of pre-Wintour Vogue here. A memorable cover, one that Leibovitz would have loved to sign, but didn't.

Some of the features in this issue:

Liberté, Égalité, Modernité: How Olivier Rousteing Made Balmain a Revolutionary Force in Fashion

Eddie Redmayne Is Welcoming Audiences to a New Production of ‘Cabaret’ (Also published in UK Vogue Nov issue)

Maybe someone who already got their print copy of this issue can do a full review?

 

[dior_couture1245]

^^LOL There’s nothing revolutionary about Olivier’s Balmain. LOL.

Rumor has it this issue is only 128 pages

Rumor has it this issue is only 128 pages

Their old October through December issues are some of the thickest apart from September/March on my shelves. Looks like that's no longer the practice...
128 is barely a January pamphlet, that's so sad. Where did it go so terribly wrong?
