Since picking up from where Eugénie Trochu left off, Claire Thomson-Jonville has (thankfully for us) had a penchant for models when it comes to selecting cover girls for Vogue France. Loli Bahia, Natasha Poly, Vittoria Ceretti, Joan Smalls, Gisele Bündchen, Anok Yai, and Irina Shayk have each graced the cover of the French fashion bible from Thomson-Jonville’s debut issue as head of editorial content. Up next on the cover of Vogue France is Doutzen Kroes, who graces the February 2026 edition of the magazine. Richard Burbridge was called upon to profile the Dutch beauty for the occasion, with Thomson-Jonville selecting herself for the role of cover shoot stylist. In the simplistic cover imagery, Doutzen gazes down Burbridge’s lens wearing a black tuexeo dress from Christian Dior and jewelry from Repossi.
Doutzen Kroes for Vogue France February 2026
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“A black blazer and a white background for a Vogue cover in 2026?” asked blusheels.
Marsnoop2 used the word “boring” to describe the outcome.
“What a BORING cover. The cover image itself resembles the blandness of a passport photo, so pedestrian and flat. What a massive letdown and a huge disappointment. A total waste of Doutzen Kroes. A pathetic and lame attempt from all of those involved,” scolded vogue28.
MModa shared the same sentiments. “Doutzen Kroes is a beauty and a great model, but this cover is very uninspiring and lackluster. It looks like a passport photo,” they critiqued.
“This is just unacceptable,” voiced a disapproving grimesisnotmymother.
“People wonder why magazines are dying and then they give us this. Why would anyone buy this?” quizzed forum member marsnoop2 upon returning to the thread.
