Naomi Campbell remains an unstoppable force. After decades in the modeling game and as a bonafide fashion icon, the British beauty throughout 2024 alone has covered magazines like Harper’s Bazaar France and Vogue Greece. All this in addition to becoming the face of mega fashion brands like Boss and Vivienne Westwood. V Magazine is celebrating Naomi Campbell with the unveiling of its Winter 2024 Issue #151 installment. Across a duo of covers, Naomi appears before the lens of photographer Sølve Sundsbø. The Norwegian photographer captures Campbell’s majestic profile for the newsstand cover (below). In the special couture edition (after the jump), Naomi is styled by Gro Curtis in a full Dolce & Gabbana look.

Naomi Campbell for V Magazine #151 Winter 2024 by Sølve Sundsbø:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“V Magazine sabotaged the newsstand buyer with this… horrid. But an interesting choice to have Naomi Campbell on the cover amid all the controversy regarding her charity – and in Dolce & Gabbana, of all brands. Gotta love her persistence,” immediately voiced aracic.

“The profile cover looks stunning but no. It’s interesting that there has been so many people in the industry canceled over the years, but Naomi is still standing,” Royal-Galliano chimed in.

“I used to love V Magazine, but this is a hard pass. It has been ages since they had a worthy issue. Naomi as a subject just feels irrelevant,” critiqued forum member ReneSanchez.

Also far from impressed was oaklee91. “Nothing works. She needs to retire,” they exclaimed.

“The cover with the Dolce & Gabbana lace veil is the strongest cover out of the two. I’m not hating on this. I am genuinely sat here feeling like this is the best Naomi Campbell has looked in what feels like AGES! She suits those Dolce & Gabbana pieces perfectly, and I love how chic, sharp, and sexy this all is,” voiced vogue28.

The September/Fall 2024 issues are currently the gift that keeps on giving. V Magazine is the latest to drop their fall fashion extravaganza and is celebrating its 150th print issue this month. To commemorate such an occasion, V‘s long-serving editor Stephan Gan is keeping it in the family with the unveiling of Issue #150, by welcoming Gigi Hadid as cover girl. Making a return to the cover for a third time, the American beauty (and current face of the Rabanne Million Gold For Her fragrance) poses before the masterful lens of Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin. Across two dynamic and collectable covers, Hadid gazes down the Dutch photographic duo’s lens for a duo of portrait cover photographs.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Awful model by awful photographers,” critiqued avonlea002 the moment the covers struck.

“Gigi Hadid has really lost it, hasn’t she?” quizzed an underwhelmed WinstonH20.

“You can’t lose something you never had,” replied forum member DK92.

ReneSanchez voiced: “For such a celebratory issue, this feels like such a non-event.”

“What the hell is going on?” asked kokobombon. “It’s not even Gigi’s fault. I’m looking at you I&V and V Magazine‘s design team!”

“Seen better. Seen worse, both from Gigi Hadid and Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin. Not the worst covers I’ve seen from V Magazine either,” reasoned vogue28.

MModa wasn’t exactly hating on the outcome either. “Although it is not perfect, I do like the first color cover featuring Gigi. It is very I&V – from the makeup to the graphics,” they shared.

Since its very first issue in 1999, V Magazine has been pretty much a constant on our must-have list whenever paying our local newsstand a visit. Cover offerings throughout 2024 alone have included everyone from Linda Evangelista and Penélope Cruz to Kaia Gerber and Anne Hathaway. The unveiling of the Fall Preview 2024 edition sees Stephan Gan welcome a whole plethora of bombshells as cover stars, with Candice Swanepoel, Kate Upton, Daiane Sodre, Isabeli Fontana and Maria Klaumann splashed across a total of five covers. Gan also called upon photographer Alvaro Beamud Cortes and stylist Nicola Formichetti for the occasion. In cover one (below), Swanepoel, Upton and Sodre get physical down on the beach under the warm Miami sunshine and each go solo on the next three covers (after the jump). Isabeli Fontana and Maria Klaumann team up for the fifth and final cover offering (after the jump).

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I am a sucker for this! I love it!” immediately exclaimed Salvatore.

“Kate Upton is back in a big way. Devil works hard but her agent works harder and I am all here for it,” enthused forum member BelkaniStaCouture.

“I love it. Wow!” admired Alquimista.

Vogue28 shared the same level of enthusiasm, adding: “I looooove this! It’s strong, sexy, sultry, glamorous, sun-drenched… all that. This feels like V Magazine circa 2008 by Mario Testino and I’m not complaining. The whole Candice, Kate and Daiane setup is reminiscent of Vogue Paris and I’m living!”

In complete agreement was MModa: “Everything works for me on the covers. I see absolutely no flaws. Love the casting and the location. The results are stunning!”

The portfolio of Irina Shayk ontinues to grow at rapid pace. Not even five whole months into 2024 and the Russian beauty has been slaying the fashion game. After all, Irina has been selected by the editors of mega fashion bibles British Vogue, Vogue Netherlands and Vogue Italia as cover girl. Furthermore, Shayk has become the face of Swarovski and Missoni for Spring 2024. Not to mention the industry fave showing up and showing out on the runways of Dolce & Gabbana, Schiaparelli and Mugler during the recent Fall 2024 season of Milan and Paris Fashion Week.

Now, adding yet another magazine cover to her remarkable body of work, Irina makes an appearance on V Magazine‘s limited edition covers for Summer 2024. Joining gender-bending Anne Hathaway as cover star for V #148, Irina poses for photographer Nathaniel Goldberg – captured in stark black and white.

Throughout the monochromatic cover shoot, styled by George Cortina, Irina wears looks from Fendi, Gucci, Valentino, Saint Laurent, Duran Lantink and Tom Ford. In cover one (above), Irina wears a look from Demna’s Pre-Fall 2024 Balenciaga ollection.

The fashion industry continues to embrace Anne Hathaway like there’s no tomorrow. In such a short space of time we’ve encountered the American actress down at the newsstand as a Vanity Fair cover star and sat back and watched as Donatella Versace welcomed her muse as the face of the Versace Icons campaign (again) for 2024. V Magazine is the latest to jump on the Hathaway bandwagon, with the unveiling of the publication’s Summer 2024 covers. Via the lens of Chris Colls and styled by Gro Curtis, the Academy Award-winning talent poses for the first time as a V cover star and partakes in a gender-bending shoot across a twosome of dynamic covers. In cover one (below), Anne suits up in head-to-toe Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda and dons a look from the viral Maison Margiela Artisanal collection in the second cover (after the jump).

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I do not understand Hathaway’s appeal but the cover with the Maison Margiela is beautiful. Love everything about it,” enthused MModa.

“What in the graphic designer hell is that font and the amateurish typography? It looks as if the font didn’t make it through the export so InDesign put Myriad Pro in its place. I can’t even look at the image,” shrieked forum member RaisinBoy.

Also quick to suggest V‘s art direction isn’t up to scratch was thiago, commenting: “Back in the day at art school, I always had V Magazine on my mood board. Now their font choices are pure trash. It absolutely kills the cover shot (which I’m not really buying t- same styling as the runway once again). Can we have Anne in Versace?”

“Neither of the two covers rock my world but I can massively appreciate Anne Hathaway’s ability to adapt and become something else via the lens of different photographers. Not many actresses/celebrities would be willing to participate in such a shoot,” voiced vogue28.

In 2020, V Magazine declared Kaia Gerber as part of the next generation of supermodels. At 18, the daughter of fashion royalty Cindy Crawford starred alongside the likes of Adut Akech, Grace Elizabeth and Rianne van Rompaey for a lengthy fashion portfolio by Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin.

Since then, the all-American beauty has certainly proved her worth and has been endorsed by just about every major fashion brand from Louis Vuitton to Valentino and appeared on the covers of Vogue Japan, ELLE, D la Repubblica and WSJ. Magazine to name just a very select few.

Now, V Magazine welcomes the all-American beauty back as cover girl, four years after her last.

To coincide with the release of AppleTV+’s Palm Royale, the model-turned-actress joins Penélope Cruz as V Magazine‘s #147 Spring 2024 cover star. Kaia reunites with photographer Mario Sorrenti for the occasion, having previously collaborated together for i-D Magazine back in 2018.

Across a duo of limited edition black and white covers, Kaia becomes the personification of rock and roll chic. In cover one (above), the Cindy Crawford mini-me is styled by Nicola Formichetti wearing a look from Celine by Hedi Slimane (a fashion label to which Gerber has been the face of on multiple occasions). Formechetti also dresses the fashion industry fave in another head-to-toe Celine look for the second equally as fabulous cover (below).

If you’ve paid a visit to your local newsstand over recent months, you’ve no doubt bumped into Penélope Cruz. After all, the Spanish actress has appeared on a whole multitude of magazine covers of late – including Vanity Fair Italia, Vogue Spain and American ELLE. Penélope now surfaces as V Magazine‘s latest cover star, 13 years after she last covered the American fashion publication. For Issue #147 Spring 2024, photographer Jack Bridgland and stylist Gro Curtis team up to profile the Chanel brand ambassador who dons a range of pieces from the French fashion house (in addition to pieces from Fleur du Mal, LaQuan Smith and David Koma) across two covers, for the 90s-inspired cover story.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I like Penélope and she is a stunning woman, but what in the [Richard] Avedon meets Missy Elliott is this direction?” asked dontbeadrag.

“Penny from the block,” shared forum member thenewclassic.

“She looks stunning. But I hate the composition of the cover (below),” stated mikel.

MON commented: “I understand the vision but the execution is a bit meh. Rather than being a strong cover image, it feels like an editorial shot made a cover.”

Everyone else, was completely sold over the outcome. “The camellia cover is a must have. Penélope is everywhere lately, and I’m not complaining,” raved KoV.

“Honestly, I just adore this woman so much that I find it a completely impossible task to take a disliking to anything she’s affiliated with! This is no exception. I’m able to appreciate, at the very least, how different the concept is from say… Penelope’s recent cover of ELLE,” enthused vogue28.

The year 2023 bestowed upon us the resurgence of Linda Evangelista. On the magazine cover front alone, the absolute icon of modeling covered both American and British Vogue‘s all-important September issues (alongside her supermodel peers), in addition to making for a much-welcomed sight on the covers of WSJ. Magazine, D la Repubblica, The Sunday Time Style and The Travel Almanac.

Not even one week into 2024 and we’ve already got Evangelista gracing V Magazine – we’re off to an almighty start for the new year. Never shy of endorsing models as cover stars, the industry legend fronts V‘s Spring Preview 2024 edition which promises to be an explosion of pure unapologetic fashion and fantasy. Across four highly-stylized and collectable covers captured by Steven Klein and styled by Patti Wilson, Linda cements the fact she is fashion’s ultimate chameleon, partaking in the dynamic and fantasy-filled cover shoot. Showing off her extreme versatility, Linda rocks an array of hairstyles, bold makeup looks and show-stopping creations from the likes of Miu Miu, Ocean Savage, Dolce & Gabbana and Aziz.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“The resurgence of Linda Evangelista is without a doubt my favorite thing to happen in fashion in recent memory,” raved aracic.

“The first cover is definitely striking. Finally something different from Linda and in full-color,” MModa appreciated.

Vision Ruan echoed the same sentiments, commenting: “I’m glad that Linda stepped out of her comfort zone and showed us something different!”

“Linda just keeps delivering hit after hit,” Urban Stylin declared.

Not everyone, everyone, felt the same way. “Unbearably dated. Why does everything come across so soulless these days?” asked lookatme.

“They’re all kind of awful if you ask me. Linda and Steven have both done so much great work – this just isn’t that,” KoV exclaimed.

“Regardless of the finished product, I feel strongly there’s always just a cause for outright celebration whenever Linda Evangelista makes an appearance. What a way to start 2024!” championed vogue28.

Models on the covers of fashion magazines will forever be a cause for celebration here on theFashionSpot, even more so as every major glossy unveils their offerings for the upcoming fall season. Make no mistake that V Magazine‘s Stephen Gan has a tendency to deliver the goods when it comes to selecting models as V‘s cover stars, and throughout last year alone we became witness to a whole plethora of top models including Gigi Hadid (on two separate occasions), Gisele Bündchen while Adut Akech and Imaan Hammam (amongst others) graced V‘s Winter 2022 edition which closed out the year on a high.
The cutting-edge fashion title’s issue for Fall 2023 is an outright celebration of the faces who rule the runways, as Hailey Bieber, América González, Amar Akway, Lulu Tenney, Raquel Zimmermann, Vivienne Rohner, Margaux Lion, Iris Law, Amelia Gray and Rachel Marx pose on a mammoth ten covers for the celebratory moment, each captured by photographic duo Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinnodh Matadin and styled by Paul Sinclaire.

Per usual with a multi-cover selection, members of our forums were quick to select their favorite. “The Hailey Bieber cover looks great! Very glamorous. Best I’ve seen from her,” raved thiago.
In complete agreement was heyjaded: “Honestly, Hailey’s cover is the best!”
“I like the cover, it’s very strong 80s power woman,” chimed in Urban Stylin.
“You know you need to rethink things when a Hailey Bieber cover is the standout from a group of 10,” laughed KINGofVERSAILLES.
“My favorite cover by a long shot is Hailey Bieber’s, which is giving me all sorts of Helmut Newton/Studio 54/80s power woman vibes and I’m loving for it. Amar Awkay’s is second, which is just gorgeous and then I do like Vivienne Rohner’s cover,” vogue28 voiced.
Mikel wrote: “I can’t help but absolutely love Raquel’s cover!”

Gisele Bündchen is always a good idea. We’ve been anticipating V Magazine‘s latest issue ever since the title teased us with some exciting previews last month. The wait is finally over with Gisele fronting the Summer 2022 edition a whopping 13 years after her last appearance. In a sun-drenched shoot captured by Blair Getz Mezibov, the Brazilian beauty strikes poses poolside under the clear blue skies of Miami wearing pieces from Norma Kamali, Alain Mikli, Chanel and Cartier.

Needless to say, members of our forums are ecstatic. “Sexy Gisele is indeed back. Thankfully no trace of nature Gisele present!” proclaimed GERGIN the moment the covers dropped.

“Weak at the knees! Gisele Bündchen reverting back to this sexy, tanned glamazon has been long overdue, but oh so worth the wait! It’s giving me all sorts of flashbacks to the good old days when Mario Testino was around and I am obsessed with the styling (those Alain Mikli sunglasses!),” raved vogue28.

“Damn, I love sexy Gisele! I’m 100 percent here for it,” declared thiago:).

“All hail the sexy Gisele! What a treat. The supermodel power on display, she is stunning as ever and serving what only the models of her era can serve. I missed being hyped up for fashion magazines. How good it feels!” shared aracic.

“Oh god, is sex finally returning to fashion? The power of Gisele to evoke such strength and sensuality is truly something I’ve missed,” admitted marsnoop2.

“Gisele saved us from this mediocre hell of a year,” Paul Lintag pointed out.
