Hits and Misses: Magazine Covers of January 2024

Most of our favorite fashion titles opt to combine December with January but a select few remain in favor of giving us a standalone January issue. Vogue Mexico went all out having managed to secure Selena Gomez for a cover, who posed amongst floral displays wearing new season Prada. Penélope Cruz and Luigi & Iango proved to be a match made in heaven (once again) via the cover of Vanity Fair Italia while Rania Benchegra served nothing but face on a duo of Vogue Arabia covers.

Scroll further to see which January 2024 covers ultimately made the cut (and which didn’t) according to theFashionSpot’s unfiltered forum members:
