Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“GIGI AGAIN?” asked a disgruntled DK92 upon checking out the cover.
“Gigi for V Magazine? Groundbreaking,” echoed ReneSanchez.
“This woman again? But I like the cover,” confessed forum member jeje10.
After all, not everyone was left so dissatisfied. “I’m going to hate myself for saying it but it’s not terrible and I kinda like it,” admitted a pleasantly surprised aa2005.
“Absolutely head over heels for this!” raved vogue28. “I love the strong sense of vintage glamour, the poise, the elegance, the refinement, the red Miu Miu, and the boldness of the cover itself. Quite rare for V Magazine to go down this more elegant route. Also massively here for Luigi & Iango shooting for V!”
Bertrando3 applauded: “WOW, I am impressed. I usually criticize Hadid a lot because it’s almost always half-baked but THIS is gorgeous. She’s so fierce here! Love the drama in her pose, the glamorous styling. Perfect hair and makeup. Luigi & Iango never fail. Good job!”
