Claire Thomson-Jonville continues to inject new life into Vogue France. Despite proving to be quite lacklustre of late (with covers boasting the likes of Natalia Vodianova, Doutzen Kroes, Kendall Jenner, and Irina Shayk), Claire enlisted Adèle Exarchopoulos as a cover girl for August 2026. Joining the French actress as a Vogue France cover girl this month are Lennon Sorrenti and Cindy Bruna. The girls are also profiled by the photographer Purienne for the occasion, captured down on the French Riviera. Under the warm summer sunshine, Lennon (below) wears a knit-effect jersey Giorgio Armani dress whilst Cindy poses down on the shoreline in a bikini top from Tropic of C,

“Beyond underwhelming and extremely boring. That grainy filter completely ruins Cindy’s cover. I know it’s Purienne’s style, but still…” noted WAVES.

“Another dud,” declared lelaid in complete agreement.

“Somebody must’ve told them that the grainy filter will give them the ‘authentic’ look. They didn’t realize they’re doing a printed magazine, and this trick is passé – even on Instagram,” Royal-Galliano pointed out.

“Claire Thomson-Jonville, trying to claw back some of that Emmanuelle Alt magic by shooting with Purienne, has fallen extremely flat. What a total waste and total non-event of cover offerings. Neither Adèle, Lennon, nor Cindy has the presence here to produce a commanding cover. Out of the three, Cindy’s is my favourite, but it’s so daaaaaaark!” voiced vogue28.
