Question: What Went Wrong with HoYeon Jung on ELLE’s August 2024 Cover?

More often than not, American ELLE is one of the best magazines of the month and is regularly on our must-have list when paying our local newsstand a visit. Under the direction of Nina Garcia, the magazine stays winning. Basically, Garcia has an impeccable taste in cover stars and the talent she commissions to profile them. Mario Sorrenti is proving to be somewhat a favorite of Garcia of late, who has been called upon to profile the likes of Vittoria Ceretti and Nicole Kidman. HoYeon Jung is the latest to be profiled by the famed Italian-American photographer for ELLE, who is unveiled as the fashion glossy’s August 2024 cover star. On styling duties is Nicola Formichetti, who dresses the South Korean model and actress in a look from Nicolas Ghesquière’s Louis Vuitton collection for Fall 2024. After all, Jung has been a firm fave of Ghesquière’s from the get-go. She became a Louis Vuitton brand ambassador in 2021 and opened the revered designer’s Fall 2024 10th anniversary showcase during Paris Fashion Week back in March.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Hmmm, simple and generic,” immediately described matheus_s.

“I think the result could have been better if I hadn’t done that makeup on HoYeon!” DK92 exclaimed.

MModa confessed: “I am not loving that cover photograph!”

Also not exactly enthralled by ELLE‘s latest was Bertrando3, commenting: “It’s not blowing me away. Where are her shoes? I hate when magazines do that.”

“Two covers of American ELLE in a row that I have… loathed. What’s going on? I’m usually a huge champion of Nina Garcia’s ELLE but this is another massive letdown. The cover feels empty, cold, sterile and lifeless. There’s genuinely not one redeeming feature,” voiced vogue28.

“I am convinced this girl is unable to emote anything other than misery,” shared avonlea002.
