Nicole Kidman US ELLE April 2024

Make no mistake American ELLE is one of the best in the business. Under the control of Nina Garcia, the publication is a pillar of strength and outdoes the competition with an effortless ease – just about every single month. Garcia continues to flex her ability to drop covers with A-list talent and has counted the likes of screen superstar Penélope Cruz and mega model Vittoria Ceretti as cover stars in 2024 alone. Added to the list with the unveiling of the April 2024 installment is Australian-American actress Nicole Kidman. Shot by photographer Mario Sorrenti and with Nicola Formichetti reporting for styling duties, Nicole is profiled across a trio of dynamic and fashion-forward covers donning new season looks from Saint Laurent, Dolce & Gabbana, Balenciaga (a brand to which Kidman is brand ambassador) and Cartier jewelry.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I’m liking this! Could’ve done without the cardboard box but I love the strong pose from Nicole and the Saint Laurent. The other two covers don’t do much for me, unfortunately. This certainly feels like a palette cleanser after the Vogue Australia cover shoot,” noted vogue28.

“Much better than that Vogue Australia atrocity,” Toni Ahlgren chimed in.

“I think I like it a lot! I’m so glad Nicole scored an American magazine cover. She looks gorgeous,” ivano raved.

Matheus_s enthused: “This is soooo good. Fierce!”

Not everyone, however, was so forthcoming. “I love Nicole and I think she should never have her hair back like that at all. A missed opportunity,” declared GivenchyAddict.

“Are the editors too afraid of boring covers? Everyone is trying way too hard to be exciting and pushing the envelope,” critiqued Lucien112.

Forum member carbon-made exclaimed: “She looks generated with AI!”
