There has always been certain pairings, within the world of fashion, which have just make perfect sense. Whether it’s Linda Evangelista making magic with Steven Meisel or Vittoria Ceretti proving every inch her worth via the lens of Luigi & Iango – all feels right in the world whenever such pairings team up.
Make no mistake Elle Macpherson and Gilles Bensimon are amongst fashion’s greatest matches too, and the twosome are reunited once more with the unveiling of ELLE France’s latest. In celebration of the Aussie supermodel 60th birthday last month, Macpherson is back on the cover of the weekly French fashion publication, two years after her last (also lensed by Bensimon). Styled by Anne-Marie Curtis, Macpherson (who is also Harper’s Bazaar Australia & New Zealand‘s current cover star) poses in a head-to-toe look from Pieter Mulier’s Spring 2024 Alaïa collection in the full-length cover shot.
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Very unfortunate shot!” immediately cried out mikel.
“What a waste of Elle. There’s no way that picture isn’t Photoshopped in. It looks so superimposed and random,” sighed GoldenPetals.
Also majorly underwhelmed was Ihhbl: “This is sooo bad. Absolutely nothing works here!”
Urban Stylin ultimately agreed, writing: “The skirt, the lighting and pose are all tragic. Elle is very easy to shoot, just give her an effortless action street-style shoot or at the beach, something very classic ELLE x Bensimon style!”
“ELLE did Elle dirty,” declared mepps.
“This is something you’d put together for someone you don’t really like. If there aren’t several pages looking back at classic Elle-on-Elle covers and editorials, this issue will be a total waste,” tigerrouge chimed in.
