Vogue Japan September 2018 : Hailey Baldwin by Luca & Alessandro Morelli

It's a testament to the influence that IMG holds that they could manipulate a Vogue cover for someone like Hailey. This could not be a more insipid cover.

 

VJ is particularly vulnerable to this kind of agency influence because they traditionally use a a cover model with little or no name recognition in Japan, so it's easy to slot in the likes of Hailey on their cover and there's hardly going to be reader backlash. The fact that she's vaguely newsworthy right now due to the engagement was just luck and who can blame them for trying to capitalise on that in their caption.. not like she'd shift any extra copies otherwise.

 

I feel like you can't get any lower than that cover with like 200 hundred people on it haha

Kind of have a 'this too shall pass' approach to this type of "models", cause tbh so many random people are part-time models these days and none of them look remotely like models (5'6, bucket-shaped, pedestrian face is not exactly an extraordinary/aspirational combination) and they obviously won't last. I guess I wouldn't mind this girl if it wasn't for (I know it's not her fault) her mouth!.. and it doesn't get any better if you look at the rest, zero personality included.

 

^^^ With that 2,000 people cover, at least there’s this Where’s Waldo? entertainment-value to it— intentional or not (although I don’t remember recognizing any of them).

This Hailey person… :sigh:... Another useless socialite, only worse since she’s like a Kardashian/Jenner/Hadid wannabe; A poor man’s Kim who’s going to marry the ultimate trailer trash who made it big… Is that what she’s “famous” for…??? At the very least least, style her so she looks a tad unique and high fashion-worthy. This is typical Insta-trope with the Burberry knock-off sweats, the trendy hair that every 15yo has, along with the Kylie-face, is so pointless for a Vogue. If I’m in a particularly generous mood, I’d give this a pass as a mid-range department store instore signage at the junior department. And this is the September issue.

 

OMG ! the face !!

 

I hadn't even noticed that!! amazing haha

 

Mediocre model photographed by mediocre photographers

 

I agree, she looks like Kim Kardashian, in a weird way she looks short

 

The hair, the lips and those burberry pants Beyoncé wore already are just pointless pandering to the Insta crowd. Hailey really doesn't deserve to be on any cover since she does less than any other to further her own career, at least Gigi and Kaia commit to fashion, she's just looking for any exposure she can snatch which makes her the perfect match for Justin.

My God, she is such a bad model. She gives nothing! Waste of everything.

 

That editorial is 'yacht influencer' at best.

 

Based on that ed the Sept VJ 2018 message is all about empty eyes and blank stares?

 

what a god awful of bad editorial. And I cannot believe this is the September issue, if that's even significant nowadays.

I totally stand by my dislike of Hailey Baldwin because this girl has no talent to be either a model or an actress. She belongs to another industry. why can't actors just give their children good education and let them stay away from fashion when they know these girls and boys will be terrible models but only got bookings because of their last names, their parents, their friends or their lovers. Sometime I hate the fashion industry so much because it keeps feeding nepotism. If there's any case study to look back, Kendall for EL should be it. But whatever, it's not like Vogue Japan has been pushing out good content lately anyway.

 

Wow that ed is super embarassing. She didnt even try. All the same face

 

That's the best she has ever looked. The subject suits the styling. TBH perfect timing of VJ to give her that cover, considering her engagement.

 

I wannt to see more ed inside vogue japan please

 

For a sec I thought that was her belly button in the second shot lol.. the kind I don’t wish on my worst enemy..

I have to agree that’s the best she’s ever looked, and will probably ever look..

 

I thought was Kim Kardashian.

 

TH did i just see???
i thought Hailey would never be as big as Kendall and the Hadids but now she's marrying JB and getting a VJ cover for September. oh gawd.
