In June, iconic Vogue editor Anna Wintour, known for her work on The Devil Wears Prada, announced her departure after 37 years at the helm. In her final issues, Wintour featured stars like Anne Hathaway, Emma Stone, Gigi Hadid, and Nicole Kidman on the cover.
For what’s widely seen as her symbolic final edition, Wintour selected fashion icon Timothée Chalamet to grace the cover. The shoot was conducted by renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz and styled by Eric McNeal.
While expectations were high for such a landmark issue, fan reactions have been overwhelmingly negative. The cover quickly went viral—but not for the right reasons.
Netizens in the U.S. and globally criticized the design, calling it overly edited and lacking in sophistication. Some harsh comments included: “Looks like it was made by someone who just learned Photoshop,” “Speechless,” and “This is the worst cover in Vogue’s history.” One commenter even called it “eye-piercingly terrible.”
The backlash raises questions not only about creative direction but also about the legacy of Anna Wintour’s final editorial decisions. As one of fashion’s most influential publications, **Vogue**’s misstep has sparked intense discussion about aesthetics, standards, and expectations in high fashion media.
