Olivier Lalanne has an exceptional talent for selecting cover stars that captivate audiences for Harper?s Bazaar France. In the past year alone, he has featured a stellar lineup of icons including Laetitia Casta, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, and Layla Etengan. Since taking the helm of the magazine in 2023, Lalanne has brought a fresh perspective to its visual identity. For February 2025, he is thrilled to welcome back Charlotte Gainsbourg, a celebrated British-French actress, singer, and fashion icon, gracing the cover once again. This marks just over a year since her previous appearance, and she dazzles in a vibrant cover shot by photographer Mark Kean, styled by Elodie David Touboul. Gainsbourg radiates joy, wearing stunning attire from Anthony Vaccarello?s Saint Laurent.

?Charlotte Gainsbourg was the cover the other day,? exclaimed a not-so-impressed forum member caioherrero.
Another user, callmejaden, shared their disappointment: ?Just subscribed and this is the first cover I?m getting? Disappointed.?
GivenchyHomme chimed in with a blunt inquiry: ?What the hell is that??
Another critique came from MModa, who expressed, ?Just not an appealing magazine cover. It looks very amateur.? This sentiment reflects a broader concern among some readers regarding the magazine’s visual appeal.
vogue28 voiced a more detailed critique, stating, ?Not a fan. This cover, despite Charlotte Gainsbourg, feels like a total non-event. For me, it?s the photography that completely ruins this for me. Everything just feels very? amateur and that juvenile art direction isn?t helping matters either.? This perspective highlights the ongoing debate about the quality and creative direction of recent magazine covers.
blueorchid noted, ?Already repeating cover stars, after 2 years? zero creativity. We just had Laetitia?s second cover, so let me guess? March will be Vanessa Paradis in Chanel?? This comment underscores a growing concern among readers about the magazine?s approach to featuring diverse talent.
