The June and July issues of French Vogue hold a significant place in the fashion calendar, revered and eagerly awaited by fashion enthusiasts and industry insiders alike, much like the iconic September issue. Over the years, renowned editors such as Carine Roitfeld and Emmanuelle Alt have curated stunning visual narratives, transporting readers to idyllic summer getaways alongside legendary models including Kate Moss, Natasha Poly, Andreea Diaconu, and Edie Campbell. Under the visionary leadership of the recently appointed head of editorial content, Claire Thomson-Jonville, this cherished tradition continues unabated. The spotlight shines on Gisele Bündchen, who graces the cover of the Vogue France June/July 2025 issue, marking her triumphant return post-pregnancy. Captured by the talented Mario Sorrenti on the picturesque island of St. Barts, Gisele radiates elegance as she poses on the sandy shores, showcasing a stunning white oversized maxi dress from Chloé, thoughtfully styled by Alasdair McKimm.

“They got Gisele and came up with that?” questioned liberty331rb upon checking out the cover, reflecting a sense of disappointment.
“Why would you get thee Gisele and hide her face with so much hair?” asked a bewildered aracic, expressing confusion over the styling choices.
“The industry has become so stale. They truly believe that everyday people will gaze at that cover and think ‘art and luxury’. What a waste of Gisele,” stated Squizree, echoing a sentiment of frustration with the creative direction.
Sharing similar underwhelming sentiments was thiago, who remarked, “It looks like she’s been shot with an iPhone. Very pedestrian photography-wise!” highlighting concerns about the quality of the shoot.
“What is it with photographers becoming awful? I just don’t understand how you can be one of the best in the industry and suddenly you can’t even choose a flattering angle,” voiced Avonlea, indicating a disconnect between the photographer’s past work and this shoot.
“Admittedly, it’s not the strongest Gisele Bündchen cover of French Vogue. The photography from Mario Sorrenti is questionable. I hate the angle, the lank pose, and the hair on Gisele’s face, but I do love the setting, the Chloé dress, and the fact it’s Gisele right where she belongs,” reasoned vogue28, providing a balanced critique.
