One might argue that Edward Enninful is sorely missed as British Vogue EIC. Following his surprising exit, Enninful has since founded (alongside his sister, the talent agent Akua Enninful) his very own media and entertainment company, EE72. In May, it was announced that the formidable fashion figure was to create his very own magazine, too, and the wait for said print publication is over. On the cover of 72 Magazine Issue #1 for the Fall 2025 season is Julia Roberts. The Oscar Award-winning American actress makes an appearance before the lens of the photographer Craig McDean. Shot up against a grey studio backdrop, and styled by Elizabeth Stewart, Julia gazes down McDean’s lens wearing a shirt and jacket from Phoebe Philo and jewelry from Tiffany & Co.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“What a random choice!” exclaimed TomBlanksFullFatMiuMiu upon checking out the cover.
“The graphic design is awful,” Avonlea critiqued.
“This looks like a newspaper supplement; I am confused,” expressed forum member Yohji.
Lola701 commented: “Julia Roberts in Phoebe Philo photographed by McDean sounds better than it looks… on this cover at least. Terrible layout!”
“What a terrible picture. McDean made her look horrible, and she’s so easily photogenic. What is that corpse makeup?” asked a dumbfounded aa2005.
“The graphic design is appalling and extremely amateur. Overall, the cover looks fan-made and as if generated on some random design program. I expected something superior from Edward,” voiced vogue28.
“Judging by the cover, even Julia looks visibly appalled,” laughed crmsn.
