Another wrote: ‘This should’ve been incredible, this cover should have us all gagged but somehow it’s flat and that’s a real shame.’
‘This latest Vogue US cover isn’t giving the greatest of all time I’m afraid,’ one fan simply stated.
Another tweeted: ‘Not you out here making Thee Supermodels look like Housewives on a September issue… The disrespect is too much.’
‘Definitely could’ve done better on this cover,’ another commented. ‘Four of the greatest supermodels the world has ever know and this was the cover choice? WASTEFUL.’
One fan commented: ‘Fabulous models who know how to serve, so this cover is a choice.’
Another added: ‘That September vogue issue looks catastrophic sorry.’
‘All these icons & you couldn’t have come up with something a shoot that was little more interesting????’ one Twitter user lamented.
Despite boasting the tag, ‘The greatest of all time’, numerous fans took to social media to lament over their lack of excitement from the image
‘It’s almost disrespectful with the legends being so… blah’, one frustrated wrote.
Another fan wrote: ‘This cover does a disservice to their legacy omg. Just LAZY.’
Elsewhere, fans commented on Instagram: ‘NOW THIS IS A COVER, love all these supermodels !!! but y’all did not pose them well lol!’
‘The posing is weird. It’s like they all did their shoots individually and then photoshopped them together,’ one fans claimed.
Allegations of photoshop use was also a complaint as some felt Cindy Crawford’s famous face looked significantly different in the image.
One fan wrote: ‘I didn’t recognize Cindy Crawford here given the severe expression and lifeless hair. I honestly thought she was Julia Roberts after a bad accident.’
Many were quick to criticize the creative direction chosen for the cover, claiming the final result failed to wow
Another added: ‘Wait …. THAT’S Cindy Crawford??? What did she do to herself? If you hadn’t named her, I would have ZERO idea that was her.’
‘What the f**k did they do to Cindy Crawford’s face?’ another asked.
Elsewhere, others shared their delight at having such iconic models getting the limelight for the September issue as one person tweeted: ‘Finally Vogue decided to return to the iconic covers and stop fawning over the Kardashians. These are covers.’
Another added: ‘With the return of 90s supermodels in this year’s September issue as well as Karen Elson’s grand Vogue cover comeback later this year, it made me realize that no matter how the Insta-girls took over the modeling industry a few years ago, these legends are still unrivaled.’
‘The original supermodels showing the girls how it’s done for their Vogue issue,’ one pleased fan wrote.
The cover shoot, taken by shutterbug Rafael Pavarotti, was done to promote the model group’s upcoming Apple TV+ docuseries The Super Models which will premiere on September 20.
