We stan Harper’s Bazaar France hard here at theFashionSpot. Following the magazine’s triumphant relaunch in 2023, covers starring the likes of Catherine Deneuve, Amelia Gray, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, and Layla Etengan have blown us away. Olivier Lalanne adds Irina Shayk to his impressive list of cover accomplishments with the unveiling of the October 2024 edition of Harper’s Bazaar France. The Russian beauty, who swept up at the Dolce & Gabbana, Isabel Marant, and Coperni shows during the recent Spring 2025 season, poses for Anthony Seklaoui. In the cover shot, Shayk seemingly works up a sweat and slips on Cano water, sporting damp hair and a Prada jacket, as chosen for the occasion by cover shoot stylist Elodie David Touboul.
The October 2024 Cover of Harper’s Bazaar France with Irina Shayk:
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“HORRIBLE! Irina Shayk is the example of a beautiful woman who everything she does seems cheap,” critiqued DK92 the moment the cover dropped.
“I want to know what secrets she’s privy to for her to be booked THIS much,” chimed in marsnoop2.
“Irina’s hair on the cover is a hard pass for me. You have to work to make her hair unattractive. Why would you do that?” asked jeremydante.
In complete agreement was vogue28. “I adore Irina Shayk but this ain’t her finest hour on the cover of a fashion magazine. Not a fan of the lank and damp hair or drinking the Cano water. It makes no sense whatsoever, and everything just feels like an afterthought,” he complained.
“Why did they choose the worst photo for the cover?” questioned Alquimista.
“This is not the best shot of Irina Shayk,” MModa confessed.
