Yes, Ms. McMenamy has been showing out lately!! 🥰🥰 I am OBSESSED with that second cover, that's how it's done folks.♥️

Kristen has always been a model who has such a strong and commanding presence, and this is no exception. She's not emoting anything, but her presence is captivating in each of the three covers. I am particularly fond of the second and third - especially the third. So full of fashion and drama... YES!

She's so good at dynamic and expressive posing, that I am confused by some of the images being so static. She's epic....I love these images

I wish they would utilize the transformative nature of Kristen; instead of giving her the same look in each and every campaign and cover shoot. She's one of fashion's best muses who can bring characters to life, yet she is held in this one dimensional image; always the same glam, always the same hair. Transform her. Utilize her as a blank canvas. Give us range! She has it.

I disagree, I think S+S shoot her better than 98% major photographers here. She looks fresh and not zombified. L+I make her haggard, M+M always go for the femme fatale look, Carlijn Juergen etc. all tend to abuse her editorial potential. She looks soft here, not weird.

An awesome eyewear editorial. Love the concept and execution.

What a lackluster issue…
Kristen’s ed again is quite terrible. The shot with the big headpiece is fantastic but that’s about it.

All the others Eds are also lackluster. They aren’t equal in terms of execution and editing.

Yes August 2025 won’t be remembered at WK
