When visiting our local newsstand, ELLE Spain has been on our must-have list for several consecutive months. After all, the magazine’s front covers featuring the likes of Bianca Balti, Penélope Cruz, Monica Bellucci, Diane Kruger, Susan Sarandon, and Eniko Mihalik over recent months have enthralled us to no end. ELLE Spain editor Benedetta Poletti’s latest cover conquest is Valentina Sampaio. The magazine celebrates “brave women” with its October 2024 issue, as the trailblazing transgender model poses for Rocio Ramos. In the simplistic cover image, the Brazilian beauty (who became the first openly transgender Victoria’s Secret model in 2019) wears a looks from Daniel Roseberry’s Fall 2024 Schiaparelli collection.
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Love it!” immediately exclaimed forum member kokobombon.
“I love Valentina Sampaio. This is such a beautiful cover,” added caioherrero.
“Valentina Sampaio looks great, it’s a great cover. The styling and colors/vibe instantly reminded me of an ELLE Serbia cover with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley from 2017 that I have and love,” admired Srdjan.
Philophile shared the same enthusiasm. “Loving the styling here,” they approved.
“One of the more better covers I’ve come across this month, without a shadow of a doubt. ELLE Spain always delivers what I used to love about Yolanda Sacristain’s Vogue Spain and this cover is no exception. Just a straight-up, strong, and commanding cover shot with a beautiful model. No complaints,” vogue28 voiced.
“Valentina Sampaio is such an underutilized model. It is always a lovely surprise when she does get cast for something,” enthused SLFC.
