Since taking up the baton from Edwina McCann as Vogue Australia editor-in-chief, Christine Centenera has flexed the ability to drop covers featuring a plethora of A-list talent. Names like Sarah Snook, Anna Sawai, Troye Sivan, and Margaret Qualley have fronted the Aussie fashion bible over recent months. Next up on the cover of Vogue Australia is Natalie Portman. Lachlan Bailey was called upon to capture the Israeli-American actress, with Centenera herself on styling duties for the shoot. For the official print cover (below), Portman gazes down Bailey’s lens wearing a look from Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Spring 2025 Christian Dior collection (as a brand ambassador, obviously). In the alternative digital cover (after the jump), the “Fountain of Youth” star poses in a laced LaQuan Smith look and jewelry from Tiffany & Co.

Natalie Portman for Vogue Australia May 2025

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I love the portrait cover, Natalie looks gorgeous,” raved fauxfashion upon checking out the covers.

“OK, they did my girl Natalie Portman good,” Summer Day approved.

WAVES declared: “The best Australian Vogue cover in YEARS! Natalie looks so good!”

“Oh, this is good,” confessed Lucien112.

“The portrait cover is beautiful. And I appreciate she’s not styled to look inappropriately young with an edgy haircut, silly makeup, and ragged street style like mags sometimes do with 30+ year old actresses. Portman is a beautiful 40+ year old woman, and that’s worth celebrating,” commended woemwoem.

“She looks great. Very assertive, attuned to herself and organic. Stripped back but still in control,” added forum member Cocteau Stone.

“Absolutely gorgeous coloring and lighting, just as I have come to expect from Lachlan Bailey. He’s an absolute master of these earthy tones that I just love so much, and he always captures his subjects so beautifully. One of the strongest Vogue covers of the month,” voiced vogue28.

As editor-in-chief of Vogue Australia, Christine Centenera has mastered the art of securing both homegrown and international talent as the magazine’s cover stars. Representing Australia over recent months via the Aussie fashion bible’s front covers have been the likes of Troye Sivan and Miranda Kerr. Centenera, who succeeded Edwina McCann at the top job in 2023, secures Sarah Snook as a Vogue Australia cover girl for April 2025. Four years after her debut Vogue cover appearance, the Australian actress poses before the lens of photographer Jessie Lizotte. Against the backdrop of the Gardens of Tieve Tara in Mount Macedon, Australia, Sarah is dressed by stylist Kalia Matthews in a look from the Prada Spring 2025 collection.

Sarah Snook for Vogue Australia April 2025

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I wish Sarah Snook had the Annie Leibovitz, Lachlan Bailey, Chris Colls, or Camilla Akrans treatment. I am glad for her, though. Good styling, just some harsh photography,” critiqued BalkaniStaCouture.

“I love her but this is something I hate about Australian Vogue: no taste at all,” phungnam96 ranted.

Also not exactly best impressed was Avonlea. “Everything about this is awful. Another edition that is completely unnecessary,” they stated.

“I wouldn’t have bothered. This is like an image from a Sunday supplement,” shared Kite.

“99% of Vogue covers from down under are cringe. The direction is worse than amateur. It’s incompetent,” discredited Squizree.

“The art direction is awful. This feels so lazy and clueless. Condé Nast has no standards these days,” chimed in forum member TomBlanksFullFatMiuMiu.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“OK, somebody needs to be fired for what they did to beautiful Anna Sawai. Talk about an actress who doesn’t need Photoshop or anything – and you come up with this clownish outfit, makeup, and photo? Seriously!” scolded BalkaniStaCouture.

“This cover is everything that is wrong with print media. Take a beautiful woman and make her look as ugly and drab as possible with the styling. Her face is amazing and should be the main focus,” Kiyoko chimed in.

“To think they paid someone $$$ for that hair!” expressed Toni Ahlgren.

HarpersBizarre asked: “Is this The Disaster Issue? Because it looks like one big catastrophe!”

“As much as I am usually appalled to see men on the cover of Vogue, these are decent and lovely,” immediately admitted oaklee91.

In complete agreement was KoV. “Not a fan of men appearing solo on Vogue covers either. However, by Vogue Australia standards, these are not bad at all,” they echoed.

“These look great! Love the colors. Troye Sivan is stunning and very photogenic,” admired guimon.

“Gorgeous covers!” forum member crmsn heralded.

Proseccotabis raved: “Oh I LIVE! LOVE Troye. Gorgeous covers!”

Since landing the top job at Vogue Australia, Christine Centenera has demonstrated the ability to secure a whole bevy of top talent at cover stars. Throughout 2024 alone, covers went to the likes of Miranda Kerr, Kate Winslet, Charli XCX, Victoria Beckham, Anya Taylor-Joy, Zendaya, Naomi Campbell, and Nicole Kidman. Centenera opts to start 2025 off strong, welcoming Margaret Qualley as a Vogue Australia cover girl for January. Photographed by Josh Olins and with styling from Katelyn Gray, the American actress is splashed across a twosome of cover offerings. In cover one (below), Margaret clutches a cute canine companion sporting a monochromatic Miu Miu look. On the second cover, Qualley dons Chanel (a brand to which she is a brand ambassador).

Margaret Qualley for Vogue Australia January 2025:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Vogue Australia is the WORST edition of Vogue ever,” DK92 announced upon checking out the covers.

“Not the best, not the worst. I don’t mind it, the close-up cover works for me,” voiced aracic.

“Excuse me? The portrait shot is a disgrace. Margaret Qualley looks sick,” Royal-Galliano shrieked.

Also far from impressed was vogue28. “You couldn’t make me dislike Margaret Qualley but Vogue Australia have done her a massive disservice here. The whole shoot is extremely unflattering, and this is coming from a Josh Olins fan. The lighting is awful, as is the beauty styling. Very dull, lifeless, and gloomy,” he shared.

GoldenPetals commented: “Yikes. This looks so cheap, like an FHM cover!”

“I think she’s a beautiful woman, but that first cover is demented. The second one is just awful,” chimed in forum member mepps.

When enlisting cover stars for Vogue Australia, Christine Centenera stays loyal to local talent. Throughout 2024, the likes of Nicole Kidman, Angelina Kendall, and Adut Akech have covered the Aussie fashion bible.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Horrible font, so cheap,” immediately called out TuttiFruti.

“I don’t hate the photo on the cover but that font is just atrocious,” Ivancica chimed in.

In complete agreement was svpernova. “Terrible font,” they echoed. “It’s an OK-ish cover but Miranda’s ability to pose leaves a lot to desired. It looks like an Instagram picture an influencer posts on social media!”

“Boring. Seriously, this is very boring,” disapproved Minerva13.

“Never minded the sight of Miranda Kerr but this is certainly not her finest Vogue cover moment. Nothing will ever beat July 2014 by Nicole Bentley. This feels very… gloomy. She looks miserable and resembles a child who has just had a telling off. Such a missed opportunity!” voiced vogue28.

“I love how she’s glowing and the white against the green looks nice,” Deleted Member 1957 admired.

“I love Adut Akech, I will definitely buy this one,” shared jeje10.

“Adut Akech continues to make history representing Australia. Big star! History is being made in front of us.
Love the subtlety of this cover, and just the energy to showcase Adut,” voiced jeremydante.

Not everyone, however, was so forthcoming. “What’s up with these covers looking as if they were photographed by an iPhone camera?” asked forum member svpernova.

“Not good, happy for her, but not good,” said oaklee91.

“Always here for Adut Akech. I do like those lush shades of green from the wilderness teamed with the white but the photography from Jesse Lizotte here feels incredibly amateur,” confessed vogue28.

Over the past ten months, Christine Centenera has welcomed a plethora of A-list talent onto the cover of Vogue Australia. Everyone from Nicole Kidman and Zendaya to Naomi Campbell and Victoria Beckham have fronted the Aussie title throughout 2024. Centenera, who was appointed editor-in-chief last year, continues to demonstrate some serious pull by securing Kate Winslet as Vogue Australia cover girl for October 2024. Fresh from British Harper’s Bazaar, the English actress poses for photographer Annemarieke van Drimmelen. Kate Phelan styled Winslet in a mashup of Tod’s, Wolford, and Longines. In the charming sunlit cover photograph, Kate catches some rays in the middle of a blooming meadow field to promote the Ellen Kuras-directed movie Lee (which is the story of photographer Lee Miller, a fashion model who became an acclaimed war correspondent for Vogue magazine during World War II).

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Kate Winslet has been promoting this damn movie for a year. Her October 2023 cover of American Vogue last year was in support of the same movie,” voiced KoV.

“Absolutely adore Winslet. She is always sharp and clever when doing interviews and talented AF. Will definitely watch this movie. It’s a cute cover,” admired WAVES.

“More often than not, I loathe whenever the cover subject isn’t looking out toward us readers but I feel like this shot was done right. It’s beautiful, love the lighting, the nonchalance of it all, and how beautiful Kate Winslet looks,” vogue28 voiced.

Mepps declared: “Annemarieke van Drimmelen never misses!”

You could say Christine Centenera has her finger on the pulse when it comes to enlisting Vogue Australia’s buzz-worthy cover stars. Subsequent to landing the top job at the Aussie fashion bible, Centenera has secured everyone from Kylie Minogue and Hailey Bieber to Victoria Beckham and Zendaya. Up next on the cover of Vogue Australia is Charli XCX, who has enjoyed a “brat summer” over recent months following the viral success of her sixth studio album: Brat. Centenera insisted upon the British singer-songwriter posing for photographer Amy Troost, for her second Vogue cover of 2024 as she become Australian Vogue‘s September cover star. Across a trio of dynamic covers, stylist Katelyn Gray dressed the 360 songstress in new season pieces from Rabanne, Burberry and Simone Rocha.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“My icon,” instantly declared Kimy Jo upon checking out the three covers.

“Oh, this is a must-buy,” enthused forum member crmsn.

“Charli XCX should’ve gotten British Vogue but we got Kylie Jenner instead,” voiced NicholasII.

Not everyone, however, was so sold out the end result. “Charli XCX is normally very photogenic but they made her look shorter here. The styling and photography is so 2010s,” Urban Stylin critiqued.

“What is this atrocity? It looks so trashy, I can not. The €2 dress and the s**tty pose. This is Vogue?” a disgruntled Bertrando3 asked.

“Not really feeling this, and don’t get me started with that ‘brat’ headline,” WAVES chimed in.

You’re no doubt fully aware that Victoria Beckham is no stranger to the covers of fashion magazines – especially Vogue. From the get-go, the style icon has fronted just about every edition of Vogue available today – from British Vogue (multiple times) to Vogue Greece and Vogue Korea to guest-editing the holiday issue of Vogue Paris. As a result, it should come as zero surprise to see Mrs. Beckham making a reappearance on Vogue Australia – for a sixth time. A little over two years after her last, Victoria is welcomed by Christine Centenera as the magazine’s August 2024 cover star. The celebrated British designer and entrepreneur (who founded her eponymous fashion label back in 2008) wears a black dress from the Victoria Beckham Fall 2024 collection in the cover shot (selected for the occasion by Centenera), as she poses for photographer Daniel Jackson.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“The styling is just… horrendous. Christine Centenera is really one of the worst in the industry,” declared an unforgiving GivenchyAddict.

“Centenera is not only the worst stylist in the world but she is also the worst editor-in-chief,” caioherrero chimed in.

“The styling is questionable. The dress on the cover is terrible. Centenera is just a name. Nothing substantial to back that up for me,” said forum member Lola701.

“She’s giving me Kim [Kardashian]. I wonder if that’s intentional?” asked Toni Ahlgren.

Cocteau Stone voiced: “I enjoy a little bit of Posh here and there, I just don’t get why she’s on Vogue Australia. I didn’t think we cared THAT much for her to warrant this. And I don’t know what is wrong with their minds, but Aussie stylists are just so out of sync. Either too much or not enough, and yet there’s no signature or intrigue to it. God we can be so bloody boring and forced at times!”
