First [*Elle* gives us an excellent editorial-looking cover of Mia Goth](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/elle-does-an-actually-editorial-cover-10-2025/), now these very artistic and striking ones from *Harper's Bazaar.* Have our nation's glossy magazines given up on trying to appeal to everyone and gone back to just making art? Given....everything....this seems like a good idea. They're not going to get new readers, just try and bring back some of your old ones -- or keep your current ones -- by doing what you used to do best. Both of these covers are really striking. I think the one above is the newsstand cover and this, the arguably artsier one, is the subscriber cover:

Fun fact, the photographer here is Cass Bird, whom some of you may know as Jenna Lyons's girlfriend. What a power couple! These both feel, for like of a better phrase, like "real" magazine covers. They are confident, well-shot, and interesting. They're not trying anything, no one is leaning on something in a field. They're straightforward. They're good.[The profile is well done, and the lede is a delight:](https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/film-tv/a68854998/cynthia-erivo-interview-cover-story-november-2025/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

> On a bright day in a dark bar in Los Angeles, Cynthia Erivo is as animated as a music box, gilded and tuneful. Her ring-covered hand—its lengthy nails dotted with rhinestones—rests on a pile of gold necklaces across her chest while she runs me through a list of her favorite vocal performances. She starts, of course, with Sisqó’s “Thong Song.”

PLEASE let this somehow end up in *Wicked: For Good*. (She is correct that the Thong Song is a banger.)
