Here at theFashionSpot, Vogue Netherlands is planted very firmly back on our radar. Back in April, the magazine celebrated the Dutch photographic duo Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin. The result was a multitude of monumental cover offerings featuring Dutch modeling talent. Fast forward three months, and the publication (which came to fruition in 2012) has our undivided attention once again. To get us in the mood for the warmer months ahead, editor-in-chief Linda Gumus Gerritsen serves up the ultimate summer cover. Next up as a Vogue Netherlands cover girl is Paula Soares, who graces the June 2026 issue of the magazine. Photographed by Kate Bellm, the Brazilian model takes a dip (wearing a Zimmermann swimsuit) in the Caribbean sea in the refreshing and revitalizing cover shot, captured on location at the Colony Club in Barbados.

“Once again, Vogue Netherlands has been ‘inspired’ by Vogue Paris under Emmanuelle Alt,” immediately noted SanderGreen upon checking out the cover.

“It reminds me more of Carolyn Murphy’s June 2005 Vogue Italia cover,” replied mikel.

“Yes, totally! Even with a brown swimsuit too,” remarked forum member Xone in agreement.

WAVES commented: “It’s cute! I’m sure it will look good in print. Is it just me, or has Vogue Netherlands been providing us with better covers recently?”

“What a great summer cover! The image itself instantly reminded me of Anja Rubik from the April 2018 issue of Vogue Paris by Lachlan Bailey, and I’m not complaining. The cover line certainly reflects the mood of the cover shot. It’s just ALL working,” voiced vogue28.
