Throughout 2025, we’ve encountered a collective mix of Anna Wintour’s old and new favorites on the cover of Vogue. Regulars like Gigi Hadid have graced the American fashion bible, while Wintour (who has served as editor-in-chief since 1988) has championed fresh talent like Sabrina Carpenter and Angel Reese. The Summer 2025 issue of Vogue sees Hailey Bieber take to the cover. The last time Wintour welcomed the American beauty as cover star, was back in March 2019, when she was joined by husband Justin Bieber. Six years later, Hailey goes solo via the lens of photographer Mikael Jansson. Vogue‘s Tonne Goodman was called upon for styling duties, opting to dress the Rhode founder and Anthony Vaccarello favorite in a striped shirt from Prada in the vibrant, refreshing, and water-drenched cover photograph.

Hailey Bieber for Vogue Summer 2025

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“That’s not a bad cover. Lovely colors. I do wish Hailey was looking at the camera though. I just can’t fully appreciate a cover (usually) where the subject is looking away,” voiced MyNameIs straight away.

Vogue28 felt the same way. “My one critique is Hailey not engaging with us readers, which just ruins this completely for me (such a pet peeve of mine). The whole water concept also just reminded me of last year’s Kendall Jenner cover which was executed far FAR better.

“I wish she was looking at the camera, and I don’t understand her as a cover choice, but overall, I like it. It’s very easy summer and I appreciate that,” LastNight chimed in.

Yet not everyone was buying it. “This is a new low,” declared forum member Hchloe.

“Vogue always FAIL when they’re too pretentious on their cover photo choices. This looks like a still from a commercial,” commented crmsn.

Should you need a reminder, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” is the theme of The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s upcoming exhibit, and the hype for the 2025 Met Gala is surmounting. As per usual, Vogue‘s May issue is centered around fashion’s biggest night of the year. Anna Wintour (unsurprisingly) endorses the 2025 Met Gala co-chairs Pharrell Williams, Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo, and A$AP Rocky as Vogue cover stars this month – and commissioned a selection of Black creatives for each of the four cover shoots. American artist Henry Taylor painted Williams for the occasion. Malick Bodian captured Hamilton in black and white for his regal-looking portrait cover shot. Colman Domingo posed for Iké Udé while A$AP Rocky covers the issue via the lens of Tyler Mitchell.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Vogue used to have a Met Gala supplement for May… I wish this was that,” immediately noted aracic.

“Domingo’s photo is just hideous. Hamilton’s face looks like it was Photoshopped onto someone’s head. No comment on the Pharrell cover,” Avonlea commented.

“NO to everything in a big way. A waste of paper! Not even worthy of a comment,” a disapproving BalkaniStaCouture slammed.

“2025 continues to suck,” sighed Jacque Marcel.

Yet not everyone was so unsatisfied. “I love the Lewis Hamilton cover and will be looking for it,” declared forum member MModa.

“I’m really into the Lewis Hamilton cover. It’s super unique, especially since Vogue hardly ever goes with a black and white photo for the cover,” Kenny pointed out.

“It’s rather formal, traditional, and regal in some way. It’s good. Nothing groundbreaking,” voiced Lola701.

Anna Wintour stays true to herself as editor-in-chief of Vogue. After all, with Wintour at the helm (a position she’s kept a tight grip on since 1988), we have come to expect a mix of old and new favorites on the American fashion bible’s front covers. Thus far, a selection of new faces (including Sabrina Carpenter and Angel Reese) have graced the title throughout 2025. The release of the April 2025 issue sees Wintour welcome Gigi Hadid back onto the cover of Vogue – for the sixth time. The American model poses for famed photographer Annie Leibovitz for the occasion, complete with Alex Harrington on styling duties. In the commanding cover photograph, Hadid strikes a pose and gazes down Leibovitz’s masterful lens dressed in a look from Alessandro Michele’s Spring 2025 Valentino collection.

Gigi Hadid for Vogue April 2025:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Here I was opening the thread hoping to see something sunny and vibrant with a model like Gigi, and instead we have this. What a horrible cover,” shrieked LastNight.

“Gigi Hadid? Yawn,” sighed forum member Summer Day.

“There are other models other than those nepo babies, you know,” oaklee91 declared.

Sharing the same underwhelming sentiments was Serend1pity. “Everyone has moved on from Gigi Hadid bar Anna – the woman is stuck in 2016. People want to see Vittoria Ceretti, Anok Yai, Alex Consani etc!”

Yet not everyone felt the same way. “I like this cover very much! It feels lush, in terms of coloring, photography, and lighting (and I’m not even a Leibovitz fan). The cover overall feels very fashion and full of drama. Quite a strong strong and commanding cover – it’s got presence,” voiced vogue28.

“I like the cover because it does not look like it was shot by Leibovitz. I like the color scheme and Gigi looks good,” echoed MModa.

Anna Wintour is starting 2025 off strong. Wintour, who has served as Vogue editor-in-chief since 1988, is notorious for welcoming cover stars back onto the cover of the American fashion bible – time and time again. However, the legendary editor is endorsing fresh talent in 2025. Angel Reese and Gabby Thomas both fronted last month’s issue, while Sabrina Carpenter becomes a Vogue cover girl for March 2025. The American singer, songwriter, and actress poses before the lens of forum favorite Steven Meisel for the occasion, with Ib Kamara on styling duties. The Grammy Award-winning princess of pop channels Madonna in the sultry cover shot, working a head full of voluminous platinum curls and a custom Dolce & Gabbana corset dress.

Sabrina Carpenter for Vogue March 2025

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“This could easily be mistaken for a Cosmopolitan cover but nope it’s for Vogue. I actually like this. The Marilyn Monroe direction suits Sabrina well,” instantly admired Kenny.

“I like it. Very Madonna,” KoV noted.

“It was about time! Sabrina Carpenter looks amazing. Happy to see it’s by Steven Meisel. Dream collaboration for me,” raved forum member guimon.

MModa commented: “What a pleasant surprise to see Sabrina Carpenter on Vogue by Steven Meisel. I absolutely love everything about the cover, especially, the pin-up/Madonna inspiration!”

“Sabrina Carpenter in 1991 Madonna drag by Meisel? Oh we are so back!” vogue22 raved.

Yet not everyone was so impressed. “She looks like a little girl playing dress-up in her mother’s closet. The mother being Madonna,” laughed fenty.

“Yikes, it’s hideous. Very amateur,” Avonlea critiqued.

“This is pathetic. Everything that made those Meisel x Madonna collaborations so fabulous, is missing from this,” added a disapproving SanderGreen.

You’re no doubt aware Anna Wintour supports stars from the world of sport via the cover of Vogue. Throughout her tenure at the helm of the American fashion bible, Wintour has endorsed the likes of Marion Jones, LeBron James, Naomi Osaka, Simone Biles, and Coco Gauff while Serena Williams has a total of four covers under her belt. Up next on the cover of Vogue with the unveiling of the Winter 2025 issue are Angel Reese and Gabby Thomas. The American professional basketball player and American track and field athlete both pose for Norman Jean Roy. Reese strikes a pose in a ruby red Versace number, as chosen by stylist Julia Sarr-Jamois. Gabby Thomas (also photographed by Norman Jean Roy) is captured in crisp black and white, dressed by stylist Yohana Lebasi in a fringed Sportmax top and Tory Burch shoes.

Angel Reese for Vogue Winter 2025:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“NO! We only like fashion with sports when models and a few celebrities do editorials inspired by sports practices,” instantly declared DK92.

“Oh no. I was dreaming of some movie star on the cover, like Demi, Angelina or Pamela,” shared forum member jeje10.

“I don’t know anything about women’s basketball but it’s weird that Vogue didn’t pick Caitlin Clark, I thought she was supposed to be the big star?” Marc10 quizzed.

Ivancica commented: “I like Gabby Thomas, but not this cover, unfortunately!”

“I couldn’t care less about a sports cover but I don’t mind the first one with Angel Reese. I like the color scheme and styling,” admired kokobombon.

“The Angel Reese cover is the strongest out of the two. It doesn’t rock my world but it feels… fierce(?). I like the coloring, the stare (despite the weird-looking eyes), the movement of the hair, and how Reese is wearing that Versace. Overall, it’s strong and commanding,” vogue28 voiced.

Anna Wintour has been at the helm of American Vogue for almost four decades. Throughout 2024, the legendary fashion figure has served up the likes of Miuccia Prada, Zendaya, Jill Biden, Blake Lively as cover stars, in addition to inviting Marc Jacobs to guest-edit the December issue. Now, for the American fashion bible’s digital December 2024 offering, Wintour champions affordability and accessibility within the world of fashion. Captured by Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, models Vittoria Ceretti, Loli Bahia, Devyn Garcia, Angelina Kendall, Amelia Gray, Lulu Tenney, and Anok Yai become Vogue cover girls in the process. The models of the moment huddle together in the studio against a grey backdrop, styled by Camilla Nickerson and dressed in pieces priced between $7 and $1,000.

Vittoria Ceretti, Loli Bahia, Devyn Garcia, Angelina Kendall, Amelia Gray, Lulu Tenney & Anok Yai for Vogue December 2024:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I legitimately saw more compelling pictures on America’s Next Top Model,” exclaimed helmutnotdead.

“Creativity for everyone but the people at Vogue,” voiced an underwhelmed avonlea002.

“Absolutely awful. Also, is it just me or has I&V really fallen off?” mepps asked.

Yet not everyone was left so disappointed. “I love the cover, models, styling, and composition! The cover looks fresh and exciting,” admired MModa.

“Actually kinda love it, and I’m here for Anna Wintour stepping up her game with these model covers for us. As a group cover photograph, everything is working for me – I love the jeans and white top combo. All the girls look great!” enthused vogue28.

“I like it! Not perfect by any means and that grey background… well. I don’t expect much (or anything really), from I&V but the model selection is very on point,” WAVES praised.

Given the fact U.S. President-elect Donald Trump will once again serve as President of the United States come January, the topic has arisen on theFashionSpot forums whether or not Anna Wintour will grant Melania Trump the cover of Vogue – again.

Throughout her storied tenure at American Vogue, Wintour has endorsed the likes of Hilary Clinton, Michelle Obama, and Jill Biden via the magazine’s front covers – often on more than one occasion. After all, it has become somewhat of a tradition for Vogue to profile the First Ladies of the United States. The first was when Lou Henry Hoover (wife of President Herbert Hoover) sat for a portrait by photographer Edward Steichen in the 1920s.

You’re no doubt aware it wouldn’t exactly be the first time Anna Wintour endorsed Mrs. Trump as a Vogue cover star. Ahead of the lavish Trump Mar-a-Lago wedding ceremony in 2005, Wintour gave up the February 2005 issue to the former model, who posed for photographer Mario Testino. In the cover photograph, Melania was exclusively profiled wearing her Christian Dior wedding gown (designed by John Galliano). Melania Trump was later notably absent from the cover and pages of Vogue during her time as First Lady from 2017 until 2021. However, will Anna (a noted Democrat supporter) give up the cover of Melania this time around?

Melania Trump for Vogue February 2005 by Mario Testino:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“This digital cover just reiterates the ridiculous childishness of Anna Wintour for her refusal to put Melania Trump on the cover of Vogue. People are evidently supportive of this woman, and as a First Lady (for the second time I might add), it is about time that the fashion industry stops being so biased.” [Frederic01]

“It will probably never happen. I think Trump is such a divisive person and that some people of the fashion industry have voiced their dislike of his politic than it’s irreparable. Putting Melania Trump on the cover would show a great deal of hypocrisy.” [Lola701]

“It’s weird to me that people act like First Ladies getting a Vogue cover is a real tradition, Anna just put Michelle, Hillary and Jill on the covers. There was no precedent. First Ladies belong on magazines like Ladies Home Journal or Redbook, not Vogue. Period.” [blueorchid]

“Queen Melania doesn’t need some worthless Vogue cover.” [mepps]

“I mean I don’t think she should get a cover. It would be a signifier of a mood shift though, of Vogue not being married to a single party. They do want to sell to everyone I assume without prejudice.” [NakedAndAfraid]

“Melania had her cover during the golden years. I’d like it if she got another one. She’s actually fashionable, regardless of what people think of Trump.” [Scotty]

Vogue‘s long-serving editor-in-chief Anna Wintour opted to close out 2024 on a high, enlisting Marc Jacobs as the magazine’s first-ever guest editor. Wintour called upon the American designer to guest-edit the December 2024 issue. Jacobs enlisted Kaia Gerber as cover girl in the process. The all-American beauty, who previously graced the American fashion bible for April 2020 and June/July 2021 posed Steven Meisel. In two of the three cover photographs, Kaia is dressed by stylist Grace Coddington in looks from Jacobs’ Spring 2024 collection for a twosome of vibrant and joyous covers. For the third and final cover offering, Jacobs and Vogue commissioned Canadian visual artist Anna Weyant to paint a portrait of Gerber. Elsewhere in the Vogue December 2024 issue, Dutch photographic duo Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh celebrate all-things movement and dance.

Thankfully for us, Vogue documented the whole process and uploaded a 15-minute video of the making of the December 2024 edition to YouTube. It’s a must-watch, to say the least.

Throughout 2024, Anna Wintour has played it safe as Vogue‘s head honcho – until now. After all, the industry icon who has held the position as editor-in-chief since 1988 has welcomed a whole slew of old faces back onto the cover of the American fashion bible. Those faces have included everyone from Zendaya to Kendall Jenner and Blake Lively to Kamala Harris. However, Wintour throws us a curveball to round out the year, enlisting none other than Marc Jacobs as Vogue guest editor – the magazine’s very first. The famed American fashion designer secured Kaia Gerber as his Vogue cover star in the process, who posed for firm forum favorite Steven Meisel and artist Anna Weyant. In the first and second of the three collectable covers (below), Kaia is dressed by Grace Coddington in looks from Jacobs’ Spring 2024 collection.

Kaia Gerber for the December 2024 Covers of Vogue, Guest-Edited by Marc Jacobs:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“YES! I love everything. Meisel is back at US Vogue, Kaia giving us her best work in a long time, and in that Marc Jacobs collection. What a dream!” immediately exclaimed ReneSanchez.

“I have to say, this really caught me off guard. The art direction here is stunning. There’s a great mix of fashion, beauty and art. Vogue should definitely think outside the box more often with their covers. Plus, we’ve got Meisel back on Vogue!” heralded Kenny.

“Very fun and surprising!” chimed in LastNight.

Also very much a fan was MModa. “Spectacular! The issue will be a Christmas gift to myself. Absolutely love the full-body cover. I love the Marc Jacobs evening dress, the hair, the makeup, and the high-fashion drama. The colors look delicious. I love that the issue is edited by the brilliant Marc Jacobs. A fantastic way to end the year,” they applauded.

“I’m into this, and I’m not even a massive Marc Jacobs fan,” confessed vogue28. “This level of fun, joy, and playfulness is precisely what’s missing from fashion magazines nowadays. Those covers with Kaia Gerber by Steven Meisel are delightful, so vibrant and visually arresting.”

You’re no doubt fully aware that Anna Wintour has liked to mix politics and fashion via the cover of Vogue. After all, throughout time, the magazine’s long-serving editor insisted on giving Hilary Clinton a Vogue makeover in 1998. Michelle Obama was granted three covers of the American fashion bible during her time as First Lady, and current First Lady Jill Biden has also covered Vogue twice. Kamala Harris is also a favorite of Wintour’s, with the Vice President (and candidate for President of the United States in November) taking to the special October 2024 digital cover of Vogue. Harris was photographed on October 7 at her official residence in Washington, DC for the occasion, captured via the lens of Annie Leibovitz. Styled by Leslie Fremar, the now two-time Vogue cover star wears her own Gabriela Hearst suit in the cover photograph.

Kamala Harris on the Cover of Vogue:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Why does the cover look like it was all Photoshopped together?” immediately asked callmejaeden.

“I was confused when I saw this cover because they just revealed the Billie Eilish cover. Why did Kamala Harris get shafted to digital? Perhaps it got a last-minute approval?” questioned Yohji.

“Why is it digital? Well, for one, the whole thing was put together literally last week, a full month after the actual October cover was released. Anna wants her legacy to be something more than fashion so badly,” noted forum member KoV.

Children Surrender commented: “I hate the fact the fashion industry has to do stunts like this!”

Yet not everyone was so unsatisfied. “It’s flattering. I like the outfit colors, rich and earthy, and the pose is attractive,” reasoned NakedAndAfraid.

“I happen to like this a whole lot better than the Billie Eilish cover. In terms of political figures on the cover of Vogue, nothing seems to compare to Michelle Obama for December 2016 – or even the Hilary Clinton cover. Yet the colors here are lovely, love the richness of everything, and it’s better than Kamala’s first cover which felt… cheesy,” voiced vogue28.
