We are compelled to endure Chioma Nnadi’s tenure as the head of editorial content at British Vogue for yet another month. To suggest that we have been less than impressed with Nnadi’s leadership of this prestigious British fashion publication would be an understatement. Recent covers featuring high-profile celebrities, including stars like Zendaya, Sophie Turner, Kylie Jenner, and Tyla, have not resonated with audiences, resulting in disappointing outcomes. The next featured cover for the May 2025 issue of British Vogue will showcase Billie Eilish. Marking four years since Edward Enninful transformed the American musician’s image for the magazine, Billie returns for another cover feature, this time photographed by Johnny Dufort across two distinctive covers. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Californian wilderness, Taylor McNeill styled the Grammy Award-winning artist, who showcases an eclectic mix of fashion from Willy Chavarria, Chanel, Martine Rose, A Bathing Ape, and Erl in these striking images.

“Horrible, cheap, and amateurish. The cover featuring the oversized leg appears to attempt a homage to Tim Walker, but it clearly falls short,” critiqued user DK92.
“How low can it go?” questioned user prylvi.
“The current editorial team seems to lack understanding of what constitutes an effective magazine cover, and these examples serve as proof,” commented MModa, a forum member.
User Kite also expressed strong disapproval, stating, “Beyond awful,” after examining the covers.
“Rancid. Nothing could ever measure up to the excitement surrounding the June 2021 cover. The current team didn’t even try to create something visually appealing. This is an absolute eyesore. The styling is atrocious, and the photography by Johnny Dufort is predictably disappointing,” voiced user vogue28.
“I have searched for something to appreciate but simply can’t get into it. I can’t believe this is what Vogue has come to,” lamented Kenny.
