British Vogue‘s newly-installed head of editorial content Chioma Nnadi is now three issues into her tenure. Yet to state covers over recent months have flopped (hard) would be a major overstatement. Not even covers starring FKA Twigs and Zendaya have managed to impress us here at theFashionSpot. Next up on Nnadi’s list of cover conquests is Sophie Turner, who graces the British fashion bible’s June 2024 offering. The English actress, whose first Vogue cover appearance was on Vogue China‘s July 2019 edition, poses for Mikael Jansson. Styled by Camilla Nickerson on British Vogue‘s latest, the long-standing Louis Vuitton brand ambassador wears a look from Nicolas Ghesquière’s Pre-Fall 2024 collection in the cover shot.
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Very random choice. Sophie Turner hasn’t really done anything since Game of Thrones,” voiced HodanChloe.
“Drab, lifeless and a complete non-event of a cover. Chioma Nnadi’s British Vogue has, so far, left me massively underwhelmed,” critiqued vogue28.
Aracic couldn’t have agreed more, echoing: “Another horrid cover from Nnadi!”
“Cover feels like they had two minutes in a hotel room against a blank wall before an event,” discredited an underwhelmed RMDV.
“What a waste of Mikael Jansson!” exclaimed crmsn.
“Surprised this is by Mikael Jansson, it’s horrible. I haven’t even read last month’s issue yet because that cover [with Zendaya] is just so bad and this isn’t much better. It looks very very cheap,” LastNight chimed in.
“This is a poorly cropped image of a person who is the ‘happiest’ they’ve been for ages, despite looking miserable as sin,” voiced tigerrouge.
