Since landing the top job at Vogue Australia, Christine Centenera has demonstrated the ability to secure a whole bevy of top talent at cover stars. Throughout 2024 alone, covers went to the likes of Miranda Kerr, Kate Winslet, Charli XCX, Victoria Beckham, Anya Taylor-Joy, Zendaya, Naomi Campbell, and Nicole Kidman. Centenera opts to start 2025 off strong, welcoming Margaret Qualley as a Vogue Australia cover girl for January. Photographed by Josh Olins and with styling from Katelyn Gray, the American actress is splashed across a twosome of cover offerings. In cover one (below), Margaret clutches a cute canine companion sporting a monochromatic Miu Miu look. On the second cover, Qualley dons Chanel (a brand to which she is a brand ambassador).

“Vogue Australia is the WORST edition of Vogue ever,” DK92 announced upon checking out the covers.

“Not the best, not the worst. I don’t mind it, the close-up cover works for me,” voiced aracic.

“Excuse me? The portrait shot is a disgrace. Margaret Qualley looks sick,” Royal-Galliano shrieked.

Also far from impressed was vogue28. “You couldn’t make me dislike Margaret Qualley but Vogue Australia have done her a massive disservice here. The whole shoot is extremely unflattering, and this is coming from a Josh Olins fan. The lighting is awful, as is the beauty styling. Very dull, lifeless, and gloomy,” he shared.

GoldenPetals commented: “Yikes. This looks so cheap, like an FHM cover!”

“I think she’s a beautiful woman, but that first cover is demented. The second one is just awful,” chimed in forum member mepps.
