Vogue Arabia has made a significant comeback to the market just two months ago, now operating under the umbrella of Condé Nast’s newly established Middle East portfolio. The much-anticipated relaunch featured renowned model Imaan Hammam and football star Achraf Hakimi gracing a duo of stunning covers, while the previous month showcased the talented Yemeni-Emirati singer and actress Balqees. Looking ahead, the upcoming cover of Vogue Arabia will feature the rising American fashion icon Amelia Gray. Her star continues to ascend within the competitive world of fashion, making her the perfect choice for the May 2025 issue. Captured by the talented photographer Zoey Grossman, Amelia is styled by Jessica Willis, showcasing exquisite designs by Anthony Vaccarello for Saint Laurent, complemented by luxurious Cartier jewelry. The shoot takes place in the breathtaking rugged wilderness of Malibu, California, highlighting both the natural beauty of the landscape and Amelia’s striking presence.

“She just doesn’t have the vernacular she thinks she possesses. In all seriousness, I don’t mind Amelia for some kind of modeling, but placing her in the middle of a natural landscape almost highlights how unnatural her face is,” a user elaborated, critiquing the artistic choices made for the shoot.

Forum member crmsn voiced their discontent by stating, “This edition used to have such a strong identity. Now it just looks like Vogue Mexico. This is just sad,” pointing out a perceived decline in the magazine’s unique style.
“The minute Condé Nast took back their license, you could tell the covers became bland,” echoed marsnoop2, emphasizing a shift in the magazine’s visual identity.
“The art direction is beyond amateur and very… basic. Throw in Amelia Gray, and it’s all just a recipe for disaster. I don’t mind the photography, the location, or the styling, but Amelia is legit serving zilch here,” voiced user vogue28, highlighting their disappointment in the overall execution.
