The most anticipated event in the world of print media is finally here. The launch of the much-awaited September issues is just around the corner, and the excitement surrounding what our beloved fashion magazines have planned for us is building to a fever pitch. Leading the charge this year is British ELLE. The recent issues of this iconic British fashion publication have left much to be desired, as even prominent names such as Emily Ratajkowski, Dakota Johnson, Emma Corrin, Lady Gaga, and Cynthia Erivo have failed to captivate our attention as cover stars. Making a notable return on the cover of British ELLE is the legendary Winona Ryder. This celebrated American actress graces the cover once more, sixteen years after her last feature. For the September 2025 issue, Ryder poses beautifully under the direction of Olivia Malone, showcasing a stunning display of gothic glamour across two strikingly dark and atmospheric covers, adorned in exquisite designs from Christian Dior and Acne Studios.

“I’m not a fan of the bangs,” commented user oaklee91 as they shared their first impressions.
“She appears quite miserable,” noted fellow forum member kokobombon, expressing disappointment in the overall vibe of the cover.
“It seems she’s surprised to be featured,” remarked Lola701, highlighting a sense of unease in Ryder’s expression.
Tigerrouge wasn’t impressed either. “The first cover exemplifies how UK ELLE covers can sometimes feel quite bland, with the foreground and background blending together, resulting in an image that lacks distinctiveness. Moreover, I’m not fond of poses that suggest vulnerability like ‘I’ve fallen and can’t get up’ on any magazine cover,” they shared.
“On the second cover, Winona appears as if she’s about to cry. Not very impressive,” stated Lucien112, voicing a critical opinion about the portrayal.
“How could they make such a stunning woman resemble Corey Feldman?” questioned VanillaCrush, implying dissatisfaction with the styling.
MModa expressed, “Neither cover has convinced me. They don’t seem worthy of the cover spotlight. Quite underwhelming for ‘The Great Fashion Issue’!” emphasizing the high expectations for such a significant release.
