To say we’ve had a love/hate relationship with Samira Nasr’s Harper’s Bazaar would be an understatement—an understatement of somewhat epic proportions. Nevertheless, since succeeding the long-serving Glenda Bailey as EIC, Nasr has featured a wealth of talent as cover stars. Throughout 2025, names like Mona Tougaard , Dua Lipa , Jenna Ortega , Linda Evangelista , and Zoe Saldaña have fronted the Hearst-owned fashion title. The latest to become a Harper’s Bazaar cover girl is Cynthia Erivo, who fronts the November issue of the magazine. The British talent poses for the photographer Cass Bird, with Yashua Simmons reporting for styling duties. In the cover shot, Erivo works a black velvet gown from the Fall 2025 Giorgio Armani Privé collection.
