In April, it was officially revealed that Radhika Jones would be stepping down from her prestigious role as editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair. Since taking the helm in 2017, following the long tenure of Graydon Carter, Jones has transformed the magazine, showcasing a plethora of high-profile celebrities such as Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Millie Bobby Brown throughout 2025. The latest cover features Pedro Pascal, the talented Chilean-American actor, who graces the July/August 2025 issue. Captured through the artistic lens of Sølve Sundsbø, the dynamic cover photograph depicts Pascal engaging in an electrifying moment of crowd surfing, perfectly styled by Beat Bolliger in a chic outfit that includes a Gucci shirt and suit pants paired with a classic white tank from Calvin Klein.

One forum member, KoV, remarked, “Did we really need a faux-sweat-soaked shirt? While I admire Pedro Pascal and think he looks good, this cover fails to capture his true appeal in any meaningful way.”
Another user, Kite, expressed their surprise, stating, “The photoshopping on his face is absolutely over the top!”
