Penélope Cruz to Vogue Spain is what Kate Moss is to British Vogue, and all feels right in the world whenever Cruz is gracing the Spanish fashion bible. Not even two whole months into 2024 and Penélope has already graced the covers of Vanity Fair Italia and American ELLE – to much fanfare of theFashionSpot forums. The unveiling of Vogue Spain’s February 2024 edition sees Inés Lorenzo invite the Spanish actress to make her 15th cover appearance on the Spanish glossy. Penélope teams up with photographer Ned Rogers (once again) and stylist Anastasia Barbieri for the occasion, and poses in the cinematic cover image compilation wearing head-to-toe Chanel – a fashion house to which Cruz is brand ambassador.
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“So you have Anastasia and Penélope and do this?” immediately quizzed caioherrero.
“I am strongly of the belief that the outcome could’ve been far better!” responded vogue28 in agreement. “Rogers can produce some seriously stunning cover imagery – like Jessica Chastain for Vogue Greece and Lily Collins for Vogue Australia. Not sold on this, despite appreciating the red, the Chanel and the whole film concept. To think we had Penelope Cruz, Ned Rogers and Anastasia Barbieri too! Madness.”
Also underwhelmed was DK92, adding: “When you’re going to make a cover with the concept of a reel, you need to have strong and good images in all of them, I don’t think that’s the case here…”
“The execution leaves me cold,” voiced thiago.
Justaguy shared the same sentiments: “Love the concept, but the execution falls flat!”
“I like the idea of doing something ‘cinematic’ but there has to be a better storyline than Penelope Cruz hanging around, waiting for something to happen. The reader is also waiting for something to happen. Everybody’s waiting and nothing is happening,” shared tigerrouge.
