I’m SHOCKED. She is so beautiful. I hope for more covers for her.

A little on the nose, given what she's promoting, but she's always gorgeous.


Side note: If The Little Mermaid is a hit (and I believe it will be), that will increase the chances of Halle scoring major covers at the end of the year, when the musical film adaptation of The Color Purple is released. Halle is playing Nettie.

Idk. Her role is small in that film and I feel as if they will prioritize getting Taraji and Fantasia those covers, but would love to see Halle.

Finally a cover that does her justice. She deserved nothing less than this (the UK Vogue one is a disservice).

 

[MON]

Compared with the UK Vogue she's proud of, this looks waaaaay better.

A little on the nose, given what she's promoting, but she's always gorgeous.

My sentiments completely.

She looks wonderful here, but unfortunately covering V over a major Vogue (even if the latter is mostly the definition of poor when taken as a whole these days) is a bit like taking the L given the magnitude of the project she's promoting.

Unfortunately Chloe's album has definitely underperformed (I hesitate to use the word flop), so I wish Halle the best for 'The Little Mermaid' and I hope to see done justice in print in the months and years to come.

A very supporting role, to be sure, but Michaela Coel got one for a small supporting role in Black Panther 2 over several actresses with larger roles, so I could see Halle getting in. Or perhaps a group cover.

The whole spread is a pure MAGIC! No artificial intelligence could pull *this* off. And, yes, I'm talking to you, Vogue Italia!

This is beautiful

 

[Bertrando3]

YESSSSS this is what I expected Vogue to do with her !!! Love the cover and editorial is very nice !!!

 

[Deleted member 1957]

Love this! Its better than the shoot that UK vogue had which made her look like a 14 year old, its always better for magazines to make celebrities look their actual age than some obvious push towards the lucratuve preteen demographic.

 

[Simera]

LOVE THIS!
I love anything water + mermaid themed!

 

[Kite]

Guys...are we looking at the same thing?

this looks like an ANTM photoshoot put though an AI machine....SO tacky!

 

[Gonzalo]

This is scary ...

 

[phungnam96]

[WAVES]
