Don't like it. I think the styling is awful, they've not gad good art direction in years, and I don't get the masthead effect. There's nothing particularly 'fashion' about this shot overall, in fact it's terribly contrived. Wonder who shot this.
So this was most likely the 'model turned actress' who was supposed to cover September? Just as well Alt moved it. I must say I'm very surprised that she got VP at this stage when her career as model just about passed its peak. And she's not that special of an actress anyway. So why now? Was it a way to court Chanel, perhaps?

I think indeed she only got this because of Chanel, there isn't anything else noteworthy about Cara. Not a good cover, it's not distinctive in any way, she looks washed-out. But where is Chanel? Is the hat maybe by Maison Michel?

She has great ties and powerful friends in the industry, just like Gisele, that's why it's not always about projects or relevancy, plus she's extremely popular on social media, that's all there is to it. VP is prestigious but nowhere near as wide reaching as American Vogue, so selecting a cover star is much more casual. I actually like it, but I do agree the art direction is stale.

Excellent argument + I know that Valerian did amazing in many countries.
I like it, she looks good, the layout is appealing to me and the pose and lighting works. It´s not an iconic cover at all but Vogue Paris has done soooooo many bad covers in the recent years that when one like this happens then you ``have to´´ like it lol.
I think she deserves it if we consider the sort of people that get Vogue covers nowadays...I find her more interesting than Hadids, Jenners, etc.
She looks beautiful on the cover. Having said that it just simply doesn't work. I think the styling is totally wrong... She doesn't have one of these faces that oozes vintage glamour...

You're absolutely right, but I also agree with the person saying she deserves it more than Kendall, Gigi and Bella who already have had VP covers.
I must admit, I do like the cover! This is already David's third cover this year if i'm not mistaken.

Just no. And the tattoo is ridiculous, everything looks super pedrestrian, that's not styling that's just putting on a custome. Super bad.
And I did not even knew this "Valerian" thing existed, it cannot be that mainstream. At least I've heard about all her other flops.
