For a number of months now, Anna Wintour has been flip flopping between both new and recycled cover stars when it comes to selecting American Vogue‘s cover subjects. Wintour gave Nicki Minaj her very first cover back in December and welcomed back an old fave in the form of Sienna Miller for Winter 2024. The magazine’s recently-unveiled digital offering for Winter 2024 sees Usher welcomed as cover, who is joined by old-school American Vogue fave Carolyn Murphy. In the joyous and lively cover photograph lensed by photographer Campbell Addy, the pair are joined by the young members of the Jr Gaels 6U team. Out on the soccer field, Usher is dressed by stylist Max Ortega in Willy Chavarria while Carolyn sports head-to-toe Miu Miu.
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Aww, a celebrity with a model is so 2000s,” voiced kokobombon.
“I love the male celebrity with a model formula, it’s so essentially American Vogue that we know and love,” echoed aracic in complete agreement.
Lola701 added: “A lively and lovely cover! Such beautiful lighting! Perfect! Usher is always a good thing in my book. I love that they have a veteran model with him!”
“It makes me so nostalgic. The celebrity and top model formula that became so intrinsically US Vogue is always a perfect combination, I love it,” enthused marsnoop2.
Vogue28 raved: “The fact Carolyn Murphy is on the cover is fantastic, and the cover itself feels very vibrant, celebratory, joyous and very American!”
“I love this cover! This should have been printed for the Winter 2024 issue instead. It’s vibrant and it would for sure pop on the newsstand,” stated forum member RanThe.
