Vogue Debuts MOST Diverse September Issue w/ Lourdes, Trans and Plus Size!

Is Lourdes trans?

The one in green in the upper right hand corner doesn't even look human.

[quote]alongside industry NEPOTISM favorites like Bella Hadid, Kaia Gerber, and Madonna's daughter Lourdes.

Fixed that for you.

Yes, r3, there's nothing better than having a "career" bought for you when you're useless at everything else.

No thanks. I'm good.

How does it sell magazines to have people as uninspiring as this on the cover? All to appear "woke"?

Also, isn't all this (fake) wokeness supposed to be about destroying privilege? How does putting a bunch of nepotism beneficiaries on the cover achieve that end?

Vogue is officially over.

Oh, my Lourde.

How is Bella Hadid a "supermodel?" She would have been laughed out of town in the 90's.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Anna must be desperate. She is notorious for disliking fat people. That girl in the red dress? She is not Vogue cover material. Also, is Gen Z even into Vogue? This seems like a stuffy publication for this demo.

Would Editor Wintour please explain why she is promoting men in dresses as women.

What do you think [italic]I[/italic] am, peasant?

Aside from the models used, it's a weird picture. They're in an office. Seen in the background is the back of a man designing a Vogue cover--is he FTM or are they being ironic, acknowledging that indeed, a straight white male did paste together this mishmash?

I do like the dresses on Hadid and the black girl in the foreground. Whoever did Lourdes's and Kaia's makeup put a distracting amount of highlighter or shimmer on their temples. That polka dot dress is not doing the model any favors.

I picture Anna shaking her head at whatever pictures came out of the original photo shoot so they put this together at the last minute.

The elegant days are over.

Is that pic going to be in landscape? There's just too many people - I guess it will be a pullout.

The other pics in the article DO seem high-fashion. The cover does not.

Are we over high fashion though? We've seen tons of odd poses and peculiar outfits for decades now. It still creates a response, but it's not really unique or new or cutting edge anymore.

I do feel like the sun has set on these type of magazines. Nobody aspires for this anymore - not that it was ever 'real' because who honestly wears stuff like that?

Magazines should’ve died with MAD.

I think this is a positive step that needed to be made. Bravo to Vogue for leading by example and inspiring us in their little way to be better than ourselves and accepting of all types even when they are really kind of nasty at best.

Just fucking with you girls.. How pretentious.

Maybe this would have been groundbreaking 5 years ago.

Lourdes is a talentless FAT whore. ROCCO IS THE BEST ROCCO ONLY

I thought Lourdes was the trans model.

Poor Kaia Gerber has to share her first September cover with a bunch of trash.

I feel like Lourdes is regaling the group with embarrassing stories of her mother and they are eating it up. "this one time she had me hide behind the couch and pull on her ears so she didn't look anywhere near her age in her instagram pics. It wasn't as bad as the time she had me hide behind the headboard and pull on them while a guy half my age mounted her, though..." Fun Fact: If you google Lourdes Leon she comes up as an American Singer.

I guess Anna needed Kaia and Bella in the mix to reassure they’re not going all-in on the freaks and fatties.

The black girl in the front looks like she belongs there. The rest do not.

Agree. The black girl in the front is stunning. Lourdes is the worst. I'm sure the diversity of the cover will change EVERYTHING bad in this world.

So ahead of the curve

LOL at the Rocco troll surfacing in this thread

What me? Worry?

Does anyone care about models anymore? Everyone is a model. Everyone has followers. Anyone can make money as an instaho. Just seems like a super silly thing to do with one's life.

Fashion magazines’ power has been greatly diluted. We have the internet and television to tell us what makeup/clothing/perfume to wear now. Women have a wide variety of “acceptable” garments now.

And many of us don’t give a fuck what the magazines say, anyway.

I was hoping to ride out the Jenner/Hadids, then Vogue added fat girls to the mix instead, and I cancelled my subscription. Thank god this won't be arriving in my mailbox.

Anok Yai is my favorite on the cover

Oh goddess 🙄

R29 - totally agree. When was the last time you saw something fresh or new in fashion? We've been in a holding pattern for about 20 years. Everything has been done and remade and done over and over.

I still contend men's fashion is the area that could really pave the way with different looks and designs. But it's a hard sell - men just don't spend a lot of money on new stuff and very few want to be avante garde or stick out too much.

Fashion magazines are dead.

Have to agree that Lourdes is the worst.

Anok Yai is the only real model there.

08/06 * Blind Item *3**

For the first time I can ever remember, this A+ list magazine editor is letting someone else choose who to invite to a very popular event. The editor has no idea who any of the young talent is and is ceding some control. So, look for a bunch of Tik Tok stars.

Anna Wintour/"Vogue"/"The Met Gala" (Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna and Lupita Nyong’o among early picks for Met Gala list)

Diverse? The 3 of them are kids of famous rich people. Only Kaia looks like an actual model. Bellas had facial surgery (super FUG before) and LardAss Rican is just …vomit.

r34 How did she even get chosen?

Who is lower left hand corner? She's GORGEOUS. And black, obviously. Just put her on the covers, dumdumbs! This isn't rocket science. Put a GORGEOUS young woman on he cover.

Why are they all ecstatic and jumpy? Do they have those vibrating pellets in their cooters, like the Colombian chaturbate boys put in their butts?

Awful representation, Men pretending to be women and surgically enhanced bio women. Sick of this!

Thank your R35! Anok Yai for the win. Stunning.

I will say I am happy American's poetesse laureate Amanda Gorman didn't make the cut. Having already graced the cover this year, one assumes. Gawd does she stick in my craw.

Who is their target audience? The self-deluded? The mentally ill? Those with fat, unhealthy bodies? This is diversity? Sounds more like stupidity.

What’s next playboys centerfold goes to Lizzo and her discoloured dirty buttcrack?

well I guess Vogue has really lost it, they also have this piece in the issue.

[quote]Fashion magazines are dead.

True.

I don't know about women's fashion but men's fashion is alive and well on Instagram. I see so many great clothes with truly handsome men on my Instagram feed, mostly coming from Europe. No woke bullshit. And no I'm not talking about Instahos. These are genuine fashion accounts.

If I were that beautiful Black woman. Anok Yai, I would be asking "Why am I on this with all these freaks?" I guess Black women, especially dark skinned ones, are still other.

Josh O'Connor models a lot. You can see it on Instagram. And the stuff is really creative and new. Men's fashion is where it's at.

He also has the skinny, sensitive, even sickly, look for white models that is in right now! Gorgeous.

Stunning, brave, etc etc

Red dress and black girl at the bottom left are both beautiful. I have no idea who they are. Bella Hadid and Lourdes don't belong anywhere near the cover of Vogue. Kaia Gerber has the body (and the walk, which her mother never did) but not the face or the je ne sais quoi. Which isn't to say she isn't very pretty, because she is. But she ain't no Cindy C. Redhead has Nicole Kidman Clapping Meme hands.

I laughed at these 3 pictures.

And the writer obviously doesn't know the language.

These are instruments of torture.

No, just no. How about someone beautiful who's not the spawn of someone famous in the 80s or filling in this month's marginalized quota? I want to see women who wear clothes beautifully. There are a variety of women who can do that--use them.

Anna really needs to pass the torch and retire. Vogue has been a visual borefest since Grace Coddington retired.

Oh God I am so relieved!

R47 Sickly, yes. Gorgeous? Don't make me laugh.

^* Tag line should have read Bond, James (not Jamee] Bond.

But you knew that.

In other news, Vogue magazine sales continue to drop, month after month, with no end in sight....

I think Bella Hadid looked better before all the plastic surgery. Younger, prettier, more ethnic, less homogenized. There's nothing to celebrate about what she did to her face or this cover.

Woke Vogue is following the trajectory of woke Vanity Fair...into the garbage heap.

They can challenge it from now till Domesday.

Everyone will still recognise beauty when they see it.

Everyone can't be beautiful or the very word loses its meaning, because it suggests comparison with other things that aren't.

They think they're being innovative and edgy, but what they're really doing is boring the shit out bnb of everyone.

We never read VOGUE for sociopolitical justice or progress or equality.

We read it for its worship of beauty, its triumphant unfairness, the source of its seductive subversiveness.

This isn't subversive: this is drab SWP gruel.

People should be forced to buy woke publications. For their own good.

R59 Can we get government vouchers for that? Or at least a tax write-off?

Does Anna die a little bit inside every time she has to do something like this?

The demographic that Vogue is aiming for with this cover doesn't even read fashion magazines.

Holy shit I thought Lourdes was the tranny, she is definitely not model material with that odd stocky build and busted face.

The tranny was strategically hidden behind the other women and his outfit was deliberately chosen to mask the male body and neck. In the other picture you can see where they pulled the shit, it’s deliberately trying to fool people into thinking it’s a woman.

The only people that belong on that cover are kaia and the gorgeous black woman who looks every bit the super model.

[quote]They're in an office. Seen in the background is the back of a man designing a Vogue cover--is he FTM or are they being ironic, acknowledging that indeed, a straight white male did paste together this mishmash?

I read somewhere that's Rachel Maddow at the computer.

The tranny model is the one clapping like Nicole Kidman.

[quote] The one in green in the upper right hand corner doesn't even look human.

They look like the offspring of Sandy Dennis and Mr Bean

New Beginnings = nepotism

No, R1.

[quote]I feel like Lourdes is regaling the group with embarrassing stories of her mother and they are eating it up.

Hardly. Gen Z have no interest in Madonna, she's a dinosaur to them.

Yep R62 - isn't that why they stopped printing Teen Vogue?

“I’ve been told that a lot of influencers are on the guest list,” one celebrity agent, whose clients have been regulars at the affair in the past, told The Post. “I’ve heard that Facebook and Instagram have taken so many tables, and that’s put a lot of people off going, alongside the mask mandate.”

A publicist with A-list clients added: “Personally, I don’t think the Met is cool anymore … It’s gone from super prestigious to [being] full of influencers.”

Because of COVID restrictions, lead organizer and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour has had to slash the guest from 600 to 450, The Post is told.

Among the rumored newcomers is Addison Rae, a 20-year-old social-media star turned singer who boasts 82.5 million followers on TikTok and 38.6 million on Instagram. YouTuber Emma Chamberlain, who is 20 and dropped out of high school to vlog about her life for her 10.5 million subscribers, is also reportedly on the guest list.

Representatives for Vogue declined to comment.

This year’s focus is on supporting young talent, so guests will skew younger, sources told The Post. “Any of the old guard who are complaining simply didn’t get invited — it’s just sour grapes,” said a fashion insider with knowledge of the event.

“I think the big actors and the big fashionistas will come next year, when it returns in May,” said the agent. “I also don’t think a lot of people feel like dressing up in ridiculously expensive outfits and putting on a mask for this.”

The co-hosts are all 25 and under: Singer 𝗕𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗲 𝗘𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵, 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲́𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘁, 𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽 𝗡𝗮𝗼𝗺𝗶 𝗢𝘀𝗮𝗸𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝗲𝘁 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮 𝗚𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻, who shot to fame after her performance at Joe Biden’s January inauguration. Wintour, designer Tom Ford and Instagram head Adam Mosseri will serve as honorary chairs.

Facebook and Instagram are sponsoring the event this year.

Among those rumored to be attending, The Post is told, are tennis superstar 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝘂𝘀 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗺𝘀; 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝘄𝗻 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝘀, 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗶́𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲, “𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲” 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿 𝗖𝗵𝗹𝗼𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻 — 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝘆𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗼, who has long been invited but never shown up before.

r71 that sounds absolutely hellish

R71 sounds like Mad Hatter's Tea Party for babies and infants.

How has Wintour avoided being canceled at this point? She's responsible for half the shit these people complain about?

If you scan through the article you'll see these people complain about have to "check boxes" and "labels" but that is their entire claim to fame.

Why is everyone snarking on "attractiveness" bought by money!? It's 2021!

I looked at R50's Vogue link and in the sidebar and below were: that bland TikTok girl; Mr. and Mrs. Bieber; Kendall Jenner.

It's the end of Vogue as we elders knew it.

R60, no the opposite. You should be taxed to pay for the mandatory woke publications. How else is this program paid for?

Anna needs their fresh young blood, she's obviously a creature of the night.

We don't buy Vogue to see normals.

poor Lourdes inherited her mom's body hair

Cover is awful. Anok is stunning and has a fun origins story. Plus, she said this in 2017: “Being a model is not like a stable job,” Anok said. “If modeling doesn’t work out, I’ll just get my degree.” Now she’s in the top three girls.

R71 - What? No Meghan and Harry?!

This is why book burning doesn’t go far enough.

R71, based on the brouhaha of his 60th birthday party and guest list, I'm surprised that link at pagesix didn't state that the Obamas are begging for an invite to this year's Met Gala.

R82 God, she is beyond beautiful.

[quote] alongside industry favorites like Bella Hadid, Kaia Gerber, and Madonna's daughter Lourdes.

In my day supermodels weren't celebrity children and plastic surgery disaster rich kids!

Less offensive than undistinguished Ivy League grads running Wall Street.

None of my female friends even get fashion magazines anymore. Everything is online and they’re mostly advertisements these days.

Fashion mags are increasingly becoming dinosaurs.

Thanks for that link R82. She has beautiful, doll-like facial features - Vogue should have put her on that cover alone.

I miss the days of fierce bitches like Linda Evangelista and Naomi Campbell

I used to devour Vogue as a teen in the 90's. I looked forward to it each moth and never missed an issue. It was a religious experience. R.I.P.

Same R93, I can still remember certain spreads.

R9 I thought it was Canadian actress/Ubercunt Shenae Grimes.

Aside from her minor roles and scream 4 and Degrassi and the horrible 90210 reboot, Shenae played a young Shania Twain in a tv movie
