Installed at the top job at Vogue Australia, Christine Centenera has successfully secured a plethora of A-list talent for the magazine’s front covers. Since succeeding Edwina McCann in 2022, Centenera has called upon the likes of Miranda Kerr, Kate Winslet, Charli XCX, Victoria Beckham, Anya Taylor-Joy, Zendaya, Naomi Campbell, Nicole Kidman, Margaret Qualley, and Troye Sivan as Aussie Vogue cover stars. Next up on the cover of Vogue Australia is Anna Sawai, who fronts the March 2025 edition. The Japanese New Zealand-born actress and singer poses before the lens of Taika Waititi, with Centenera herself on styling duties. Across a twosome of covers (marking Anna’s first Vogue cover appearance), Sawai wears looks from Louis Vuitton and Duran Lantink.

“OK, somebody needs to be fired for what they did to beautiful Anna Sawai. Talk about an actress who doesn’t need Photoshop or anything – and you come up with this clownish outfit, makeup, and photo? Seriously!” scolded BalkaniStaCouture.

“This cover is everything that is wrong with print media. Take a beautiful woman and make her look as ugly and drab as possible with the styling. Her face is amazing and should be the main focus,” Kiyoko chimed in.

“To think they paid someone $$$ for that hair!” expressed Toni Ahlgren.

HarpersBizarre asked: “Is this The Disaster Issue? Because it looks like one big catastrophe!”
