W Magazine, you’ve been doing amazing sweetie. The Fall Fashion extravaganza back in September served up a total of six sensational covers for us to choose from down at the newsstand (with models-of-the-moment Kaia Gerber, Anok Yai, Gigi Hadid, Mona Tougaard, Liu Wen and Kendall Jenner). Sofia Coppola was soon reuniting which master photographer Steven Meisel with the unveiling of Volume #5 and now at the request of editor Sara Mooves, Emma Stone and Yorgos Lanthimos team up for W‘s latest dedicated to all-things art. The Greek filmmaker directs the American actress (who stars in Lanthimos’ black comedy fantasy film Poor Things) in the cover shoot for Volume #6, dressed in a Nicolas Ghesquière-designed look from Louis Vuitton’s Cruise 2024 collection (a brand to which Stone is brand ambassador).
W‘s latest had members of our forums a divided bunch. “I don’t hate it but also don’t like it,” voiced Kimy Jo the second the cover came to light.
“Looks pretentious and boring,” critiqued thenewclassic.
“After those terrific model covers by Mert Alas back in September, which was followed up with the divine Sofia Coppola cover by Steven Meisel… I feel somewhat disappointed by W on this occasion. Not a fan of this cover, whatsoever!” vogue28 exclaimed.
Mikel, however, was quick to describe the cover as “gorgeous”.
“I like it, it’s different,” admired blueorchid.
“I also think this is quite nice, I like the graphic design of the cover. Very well done! W is really having a little renaissance lately, no?” asked aracic.
