Margaret Zhang continues to make an impression at Vogue China. From kick-starting her tenure back in 2021 with a “hauntingly beautiful” Jinghan Fan cover to championing inclusivity with a body-positive cover for March 2022, the editor obviously means business. For June 2022, the magazine welcomes Marion Cotillard as the Chinese fashion bible’s latest cover star. In the dark and moody (albeit glamorous) cover photograph, the French actress and Chanel brand ambassador wears a Chanel Spring 2022 Haute Couture creation selected by the publication’s fashion director Audrey Hu for the image shot by Paolo Roversi.
The end result, however, received mixed reactions. “Um…NO!” declared DK92 the moment the cover dropped.
“She looks like an off-duty witch!” YohjiAddict pointed out.
“Why did they make her look like Morticia Addams?” wondered MyNameIs.

“Everything looks unflattering,” Bertrando3 chimed in.
“Whoever did the Photoshop should get the boot. It’s TERRIBLE. Marion Cotillard always photographs incredibly and to have this as a result is insulting,” proclaimed a dissatisfied WAVES.
“They really did her dirty here,” echoed toffie.
Although not everyone agreed. “Perhaps the only Vogue China cover I’ve admired since Zhang’s debut, it’s gorgeous! I will always approve of some dark glamour and Marion wears Chanel so wonderfully. She’s so photogenic!” exclaimed vogue28.
“I quite like this cover, actually. Feels very mature and refined!” admitted aracic.
