British ELLE might be a shadow of its former self, but that doesn’t stop Kenya Hunt from pulling out the big guns when it comes to the magazine’s cover stars. After all, names like Emily Ratajkowski , Dakota Johnson , Emma Corrin , Lady Gaga , Cynthia Erivo , and Winona Ryder have graced the title throughout 2025. Hunt, who has served as editor-in-chief since 2022, unveils a quartet of October 2025 covers featuring Alexa Chung, Lola Young, Naomi Ackie, and Riz Ahmed, as the magazine celebrates its monumental 40th anniversary. The ensemble cast poses for the photographer Fabien Montique, dressed in looks from Celine, Simone Rocha, Givenchy, and Alexander McQueen.
