The American edition of Harper’s Bazaar may have become hit and miss under the control of Samira Nasr, but that doesn’t stop Nasr from securing the crème de la crème from the world of entertainment and beyond as cover stars. Names like Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, Cynthia Erivo, Mona Tougaard, Dua Lipa, Jenna Ortega, Linda Evangelista, and Zoe Saldaña have fronted Bazaar over the past several months. Next up on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar is Kaia Gerber, who graces the February 2026 issue of the magazine. Making her Bazaar cover debut, the American model-turned-actress teams up with the photographer Luis Alberto Rodriguez. The publication’s style director Carlos Nazario styled the shoot, opting to dress Kaia in jacket and dress from Sarah Burton’s Givenchy and heels from Christian Louboutin.
Kaia Gerber for Harper’s Bazaar February 2026
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“A mess,” instantly disapproved vogue22.
“The styling is a PURE MESS. My gosh, it’s awful and all over the place. Plus, the fact that Kaia’s face looks like she is 12 doesn’t help. I will never see her as an adult,” commented Bertrando3.
“Kaia is another one of the current batch of models who are very photogenic and have a fantastic ‘high fashion’ body with great proportions – but despite all those advantages, somehow end up producing lifeless images,” tigerrouge chimed in.
Also not a fan was forum member Kite. “She looks a MILLION years old,” they exclaimed.
“The styling ruined everything,” declared fashionsavvvvy.
However, not everyone was disappointed. “Always been a one for Kaia Gerber, but I can admit she does appear a little… harsh here. However, I do like the end result. I like the navy backdrop teamed with the blue masthead and the styling. The Givenchy jacket and dress have photographed great here,” admitted vogue28.
“I do love Kaia’s pose and attitude on the cover. I think the styling is fun and edgy. Also, the turquoise masthead/type looks fresh. I love it all,” MModa approved.
