Read the reactions from FashionSpot’s forum members below:
“Another strong and impressive cover from Mark Guiducci Vanity Fair! That man sure knows how to craft such a strong cover. This is miles beyond what Radhika Jones could have made, and I’m not even a fan of Lisa. Here Ethan James Green captured his stunning photos. I’m not even offended by exaggerated showgirl beauty,” voiced vogue28.
“My only complaint is that I wish the cover image was a close-up,” kokobombon wrote.
Forum member said, “I like it, but I have to admit that this is the weakest cover since Mark Guiducci took over the direction of the magazine.” JPpineapple.
MMODA Commented: “I like the cover, but a version of the cover with a desert landscape would have worked wonders.”
