Is Carlos Nazario about to become the saving grace of Harper’s Bazaar? After a slew of unimpressive and deeply underwhelming covers, it’s sure starting to shape up that way, as the magazine’s newly-installed style director starts to implement his magic. Following a Regina King cover last month (declared Bazaar‘s “best cover” in years), the title’s annual issue dedicated to all-things beauty is here. Since taking up the mantle as editor, Samira Nasr has made it a tradition to feature models on the magazine’s May issues – and the year 2024 is no different. Nasr’s selections for May 2024 are Anok Yai and Christy Turlington, who pose for photographer Ethan James Green across a pair of flawless covers, both styled by Nazario. In cover one (below), Anok strikes a pose in a vest and skirt from Christian Dior while Christy is all smiles in a shearling coat and floral lace bodysuit from Saint Laurent (after the jump).
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“I’m so proud of Samira! A cover with someone SMILING on it!!! She’s getting there.” applauded blueorchid.
“WOW, Christy is bringing back the magic I need and used to love from fashion magazines in the 90s! She’s so glam, she looks perfect, amazing hair and makeup: very Revlon! This is what I want to see from fashion worldwide: models with personality, power, sex appeal and beauty,” enthused Bertrando3.
“Christy’s cover emits good energy but the cover with Anok is just flawless,” stated Srdjan.
“Anok’s cover is stunningly-beautiful with her makeup, making it a perfect fit for this beauty issue,” admired forum member Kenny.
Alquimista shared the same enthusiasm, adding: “Love everything. Beautiful covers and both models look radiant.”
“These two covers bring me so much LIFE! Absolutely living for Carlos Nazario at Harper’s Bazaar. Nazario has, without question, breathed some much-needed life back into the magazine. These two covers with Anok and Christy are both absolutely immaculate. I genuinely think I’d have a hard time down at the newsstand walking away with just one,” shared vogue28.
The two accompanying cover stories are a total must-see. See more of Anok Yai and Christy Turlington as Harper’s Bazaar‘s April 2024 cover stars and join the standing ovation, here.
