I've just googled 'Samir Ghanem wig', because I wasn't sure whether he is wearing a toupée on these covers (yes, he is) or if it's part of his comedy act (no, it isn't). So a whole lot of outcries popped up about him and his daughter's numerous blackface skits. So, yeah. Never trust a man who wears toupées.

The first cover actually looks cool, but not with a white masthead. Would also prefer another model instead of her.

"The intersection of fashion and humor".
DEAD.

If they wanted to mix fashion and comedy, they should took notes from Vogue Portugal. Btw, Adriana's face looks gorgeous in the second cover. The first cover looks... meh.

These covers are pure taste abuse. These should be illegal to publish. I will literally sue Vogue Arabia for blindness, because I am about to take out my eyeballs so I never see this again, ever.

Am I the only one getting sugar daddy vibes? I mean, I'm not against it, to each their own. However, this is Vogue right? Where the eff is the fashion?

Yes, but more like Anna Nicole Smith and J. Howard Marshall........

I'm confused.

Being pictured with a much older man for career purposes? Oh, it's a Vogue cover. Can't hurt the rate card when getting any other work in the region.

Well, I'll be buggered!

Perhaps there'll be an editorial or two in Harper's Bazaar Arabia, you never know...

I am very disappointed in this Vogue Arabia cover in that Adriana can carry off the sort of glamour we'd expect to see on this edition, yet we get given this - literal - joke of a shoot.

Well, damn.

B... bye... :-D

I feel like this giving December Vogue vibes when the likes of Paris & Australian Vogue used to do festive, artsy, intrellectual, whimsical type covers for the final issue of the year. Also, if it works for the region, then I'm all for Vogue taking on board local expressions and executions, as opposed to being poor copies of the mother Vogue.

The first cover is stellar which is ruined by horrible typos

Okay, that editorial is actually enjoyable.
