Arabia has only been on the market since its debut back in March and the magazine has already managed to pull the likes of Gigi Hadid, Imaan Hammam and Halima Aden. The Arabian fashion title set its sights on Jourdan Dunn for July/August 2017, who poses amongst a blooming rose garden on location in Istanbul with Turkish fashion photographer Cuneyt Akeroglu capturing the moment of tranquility. On the first cover (below), Jourdan looks ravishing in red Giambattista Valli and wears Elie Saab on the second cover (after the jump).

The covers were an instant hit with our forum members. “Okay now we’re talking! The first cover is gorgeous! Could pass for a UK Harper’s Bazaar cover but it’s good,” voiced MON the moment the cover struck.
“I think the first cover looks stunning – styling, setting, the mannequin-like pose. Can understand the Harper’s Bazaar comparison though, that font. The second cover, however, is as corny as it can get, I’m afraid,” Benn98 chimed in.
Miss Dalloway disagreed about which cover was best: “Wait, what! Feel like I’m looking at different covers, the second is just stunning, they got a real moment there, while the first is the tragic one! The stiff pose, the blank expression, no thanks!”
[Piece Of Me] liked both covers, saying, “Yes, Jourdan! This is absolutely stunning, both of them. Good to see them back on form again as most covers since Gigi’s debut have been rather disappointing.”
“In love, this magazine is everything and Jourdan is just flawless,” raved TeeVanity.
Sharing the same sentiments was 333101. “Love both covers, Jourdan is just amazing – so pleased for her!”
