Is This The Absolute Best Vogue Spain Could've Done with Kaia Gerber?
The industry continues to endorse Kaia Gerber like there's no tomorrow. Since her modelling debut as the face of Versace kids in 2012, the daughter of Cindy Crawford has walked a staggering amount of blue chip runway shows, became the face of mega brands like Chanel, Valentino, Celine and graced multiple editions of Vogue worldwide (including British, American, French, Italian, Chinese and Japanese). Therefore, it should come as no surprise to see Kaia Gerber take to the cover of Vogue Spain. Inés Lorenzo, who has served as head of editorial content since 2021, welcomes Gerber as the title's cover girl for June 2025. The model-turned-actress poses before the lens of Amy Troost for the occasion, and is styled by Max Ortega. Gerber gazes down Troost's lens wearing a top from Spanish high-street retailer Mango and a necklace from Sophie Buhai. 'It's good!' declared WAVES upon first look. 'Really?' replied forum member RMDV in a state of shock. 'On the very rare occasion… this cover needed more text. It feels lazy just slapping Kaia's name on the cover and calling it a day. No thought, no effort, no nothing. Always been a Kaia Gerber fan but I'm struggling to defend this. She looks vapid, lifeless, and completely devoid of energy,' voiced vogue28. Also majorly underwhelmed was Zorka. 'Aside from the cheap/amateurish set design and basic photography style, the whole wet hair look just ruins the whole thing for me. This is NOT Vogue cover material,' they declared. 'What a waste of Kaia Gerber. Ugh!' sighed prylvi. 'What do u expect?' asked Xone. 'Max Ortega is involved. He is terrible. Vogue Spain did much better covers with local talent.' See more of Kaia Gerber from the Vogue Spain June 2025 cover shoot and join the conversation, here.

Kaia Gerber & Halina Reijn Team Up for Sarah Burton's Debut Givenchy Campaign
You're no doubt fully aware that Sarah Burton is now installed as creative director of Givenchy. The revered British designer presented her highly anticipated debut collection for the storied French fashion house during Paris Fashion Week back in March – ultimately receiving mixed feedback from members of our forums. Fast forward four months, and Burton's first campaign is here for the upcoming Fall 2025 season. The recipient of The British Fashion Council's 2011 Designer of the Year Award enlists Kaia Gerber as the face of the Fall 2025 Givenchy campaign. The all-American Cindy Crawford mini-me teams up with Dutch film director Halina Reijn for the occasion (perhaps best known for Babygirl). 'The idea behind my first campaign for Givenchy was to focus on the friendship between a film director and an actor. I wanted it to celebrate the female gaze,' said Burton. 'We were waiting for this?' asked ellarchivist. 'We all knew Burton was a bad hire for Givenchy. But now we all really really know she's a bad hire at Givenchy,' declared 90sfan. 'You don't do things like this when trying to revive a stale brand. Sarah seems to be a nice woman, but she is a really weak creative director. Just choose interesting looks and book a good photographer. No need to be so pretentious,' Avonlea stated. Tourbillions commented: 'This would have worked much better if they got Cynthia Erivo instead. She would have given it much more life, and Erivo has been wearing a lot of Givenchy already.' 'What a disaster,' voiced FashionPower while Drusilla used the word 'weak' to describe the campaign. See more of Kaia Gerber from the Givenchy Pre-Fall 2025 campaign and join the conversation, here.

Sir David Beckham 'incredibly humbled' by knighthood: 'I never could have imagined this...'
David Beckham has received a knighthood for services to sport and charity. The 50-year-old footballer admitted after the King's Birthday Honours were unveiled on Friday (13.05.25), and it was confirmed that he will now be known as Sir David Beckham, he has found it all to be a "truly humbling" experience. He said: "Growing up in East London with parents and grandparents who were so patriotic and proud to be British, I never could have imagined I would receive such a truly humbling honour. "To have played for and captained my country was the greatest privilege of my career, and literally a boyhood dream come true." David is married to former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham and has Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and 13-year-old Harper Seven with her. The Manchester United legend - whose wife will now be known as Lady Victoria Beckham - noted that while it will "take a little while" to comprehend the honour, he just wants to be able to celebrate it with his family. He said: " I've been so lucky to be able to do the work that I do and I'm grateful to be recognised for work that gives me so much fulfilment. "It will take a little while for the news to sink in but I'm immensely proud and it's such an emotional moment for me to share with my family." In 2003, he was given an OBE by the late Queen Elizabeth for services to football. Just one day before the honour was announced, Sir David was seen chatting to King Charles at The King's Foundation Awards as part of his role as an ambassador for the monarch's foundation. The former England captain has a long history of carrying out charitable work, which Honours Committee officials will have considered before deciding to bestow him with the honour. What's more, rock star Roger Daltrey - who is best known as a member of The Who - has also received the same honour after leading the Teenage Cancer Trust concerts for more than two decades, and accepted it on behalf of all the "unsung heroes" who have a part to play in the charity. He said: "It is a wonderful honour for me and especially for Teenage Cancer Trust. I accept this award not only for myself but on behalf of all the unsung heroes who have given their energy towards making the Teenage Cancer Trust the success it has become. "The likes of The Who and their fans, Angie Jenkison, Lindsay Hughes, Des Murphy, Rob Ballantine and the late Chris York are some of many who have done so much to elevate the charity, to the point where it now has 28 specialist units in NHS hospitals across the UK." Meanwhile, Elaine Paige - who is best known for her lengthy career in musical theatre - has been awarded a Damehood for her services to music and charity and was "thrilled and surprised" when she heard about the honour. She said: "I've got all these different emotions coming at me all at once. "I'm proud and I feel grateful and I'm thrilled and surprised, and so it's been quite a lot to take in." The West End star and radio host- who made her name by starring in original London productions of Cats, Les Miserables and Evita - is a patron of The Children's Trust and The Dan Maskell Tennis Trust.
