Timothée Chalamet's 'Worst Ever' Vogue Cover Sparks Fan Backlash

Hollywood's darling and fashion icon, Timothée Chalamet, has faced a wave of criticism, with his latest Vogue cover being dubbed 'the worst ever'.

The photoshoot was a highly anticipated project, marking the end of Anna Wintour's 37-year tenure as Vogue's editor-in-chief, styled by Eric Mcneill and photographed by Annie Leibovitz.

However, upon the cover's release, Chalamet's bold styling choices fell flat for many fans. The cover features him against a space-like backdrop, wearing a revealing white top, jeans adorned with vibrant floral embroidery, a long coat, and boots. His signature curly hair was replaced with a striking buzz cut, paired with an intense gaze.

The unconventional look failed to impress the fanbase, who flooded Chalamet's social media with harsh comments. Phrases like 'Did they make this in PowerPoint?', 'It's a terrible cover, but I'm proud of you', 'Definitely lost his style', and 'A 14-year-old on an app could edit this better' were among the critiques.

In contrast, a separate desert-themed photoshoot released alongside the cover garnered a more positive reception. Many felt that the buzz cut and rugged image suited the desert backdrop effectively.

Chalamet first gained significant attention with his role in 'Call Me By Your Name' and has since starred in acclaimed films such as 'Lady Bird', 'Beautiful Boy', 'Little Women', 'Dune', and 'Wonka'.

The Vogue cover, intended as a grand finale for Anna Wintour's long reign, aimed for a high-fashion, avant-garde aesthetic. While Chalamet's experimental styling garnered mixed reactions, some critics praised the bold artistic direction. The stark contrast between the criticized cover and the well-received desert editorial highlights the subjective nature of fashion and fan preferences regarding the actor's image.
