Nina Garcia stays winning at American ELLE. After all, Garcia (who has served as editor-in-chief since 2017) continues to secure the crème de la crème of the world of fashion and entertainment as the magazine’s cover stars. Everyone from Vittoria Ceretti and Nicole Kidman to Irina Shayk and Dua Lipa have graced the Hearst-owned title of late, with Anya Taylor-Joy added to the list with the unveiling of ELLE‘s double June/July 2024 edition. Garcia welcomes the actress and star of George Miller’s Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga three years after her last, to pose for photographer Dan Martensen and get dressed up by stylist Anastasia Barbieri. In cover one (below), Taylor-Joy poses in a multi-colored dress from Bottega Veneta’s Pre-Fall 2024 collection. For the second, black and white cover (after the jump), the red carpet maven wears a Givenchy Pre-Fall 2024 leather and lace dress teamed with a pair of boots from Victoria Beckham.
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Gorgeous. Anya Taylor-Joy is, as always, fantastic,” applauded WAVES.
“Second cover is gorgeous. Colors, composition and typography are perfect,” raved Alquimista.
MModa commented: “Both are good covers but I like the one with the colorful striped sweater. The colors work so well together and are pleasant to the eye.”
“ELLE has been the best of the mainstream American fashion mags lately,” NYLA22 enthused.
Phuel shared the exact same sentiments, echoing: “ELLE easily stomps all over Vogue these days!”
Yet not everyone was so forthcoming. “Nothing says ‘June/July issue’ quite like the cover star bundled up indoors wearing a big fuzzy turtleneck in holiday colors,” critiqued KoV.
“My least favorite covers of American ELLE in what feels like a very VERY long time. Massively underwhelmed by this. Not a fan of how cold, lifeless and sterile it’s all looking for a double June/July offering. Dan Martensen’s photography and Anastasia Barbieri is amateur beyond belief here!” voiced vogue28.
