The Italian edition of Vogue might not hold the prestige that it once did under the late great Franca Sozzani, but that doesn’t stop Francesca Ragazzi from dropping covers starring a bevy of buzz-worthy talent. After all, names like Vittoria Ceretti, Madonna, Bella Hadid, and Sabrina Carpenter have graced the cover of the Italian fashion bible of late. Next up on the cover of Vogue Italia is Dua Lipa, who graces the September 2026 issue of the magazine. The British-Albanian singer-songwriter makes her Italian Vogue debut via the lens of the photographer Carlijn Jacobs. Shot on location in New York, the Grammy Award-winning star is styled by Imruh Asha, dripping in diamonds and rubies from Bulgari.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“WOW! Love,” expressed newton91 immediately upon checking out the cover.
“I am not a fan of closed eye covers but there is something about this one. I like it,” MModa confessed.
“Dolce & Gabbana Sicilian widow vibes!” described BalkaniStaCouture. “I like it!”
Also very much a fan of the outcome was guimon. “Honestly, looks amazing,” they heralded.
Yet not everyone was so forthcoming. “I love Dua Lipa, but don’t love the cover. It feels like there’s something missing,” noted forum member thiago.
“I don’t know; even covers during COVID were more fun and uplifting. This, on the other hand, feels very detached and gloomy,” shared Royal-Galliano.
“There’s just zero sense of fashion for what is supposed to be our first real look at the F/W collections. The cover shot is dramatic, but without the cover text, that could legitimately be anyone. Yeah, not at ALL into this,” voiced vogue28.
