UK Elle October/November 2021 : Michaela Coel by Danny Kasirye

Michaela Coel Morphs Into Grace Jones on British ELLE’s October/November 2021 Cover

Farrah Storr may just be the best thing to ever happen to British ELLE. See covers starring Gemma Chan, Altyn Isabella Simpson, Alva Claire, Daphne Groeneveld and Ramla Ali as proof. Unfortunately, Storr announced her departure from the Hearst-owned glossy. But she isn’t showing any signs of slacking off by bestowing upon us a killer cover for October/November 2021. Michaela Coel graces ELLE‘s double edition transforming into Grace Jones before the lens of Danny Kasirye. The Emmy Award winner sports vibrant eye makeup, Jones’ signature flat-top hairstyle and a structured Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2021 number.
