Here at theFashionSpot, we have been living for the resurgence of Linda Evangelista. Subsequent to a surprise Fendi advertising campaign back in 2022, we’ve enjoyed the super of all supermodels making appearances on British Vogue (and then alongside her supermodel peers twelve months later for 2023), WSJ. Magazine and D la Repubblica. Not to mention a must-have book in collaboration with Steven Meisel, an appearance at Vogue World: London and the highly-anticipated release of The Super Models docuseries on AppleTV+.
The 58-year-old Canadian beauty’s latest addition to her remarkable modeling portfolio is the cover of The Sunday Times Style, as the makes a much-welcomed appearance on the magazine’s latest dated November 26, 2023. In the crisp, sleek and minimal cover image lensed by Chris Colls, the undisputed icon of fashion wears an all-black ensemble of Khaite and The Row, selected for the occasion by seasoned stylist Sarajane Hoare.
As expected, the cover immediately caught the attention of theFashionSpot’s forum members. “Oh this is FAB,” raved fenty the second the cover came to light.
“La Linda looks stunning,” heralded versustito.
“YESSSSSS! I’m living for these covers with REAL REAL REAL BONAFIDE SUPERMODELS! exclaimed an elated Bertrando3.
Caioherrero simply used the word “beautiful” to describe the cover.
Everyone else, however, wasn’t so smitten. “The extensive retouching around her jawline and neck is so jarring and amateur-looking. I don’t blame Linda, who is looking fabulous recently, I blame a mediocre photographer like Colls,” voiced an unimpressed WinstonH20.
“I’m not trying to pick on Linda, but come on, standards. She is a titan of modeling, which makes it all the worse when I see trash photos like this one. Genuinely she would look better and have so much more presence without the insane retouching. I mean good lord. Lifeless,” KoV chimed in.
“Photoshop aside, it’s Linda Evangelista, it’s Chris Colls, it’s a flawless cover image and it’s a complete surprise. This appeals to me far more than any of the six covers British Vogue has on offer for us this month,” reasoned vogue28.
