Victoria Beckham’s Posh Cover, Edward Enninful Chats With Vanessa Friedman, Plus! Who Has A Secret Substack?

Victoria Beckham Covers Elle‘s Posh October Issue

Wake up, Malcolm! Elle‘s got a posh new covergirl: none other than Victoria Beckham. The chic fashion designer, former Spice Girl, and muse to us all fronts the title’s new October issue, dressed in a sleek embossed burgundy Tom Ford coat that we’re immediately putting on our fall wishlists! Photographed by Dan Jackson, Beckham poses against stormy city skylines while reflecting on her rise to fame over the years, as well as her early relationship with hot hubby David Beckham and becoming renowned for her fashion and beauty brands. She also gives a glimpse into what we can expect from her upcoming new namesake Netflix series, which hits the streamer on TK! You can check out her full chat on Elle.com—though we’ll be picking up our own print copies ASAP.

“I had to leave my vanity at the door, because every time they were following me at work, I had a job to do,” Beckham tells Veronique Hyland in the cover story. “I couldn’t think about the fact there were cameras there, because I was preparing for a show. One minute we’re creating the collection, picking the fabrics, casting the models. ‘Is this the right flooring? What’s the show music like?’ There was so much going on that I had to turn a blind eye to the fact that they were there. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gotten anything done. I was like, ‘Guys, I’ve got a day job to be getting on with.’”

Did Edward Enninful Never Want To Be U.S. Vogue‘s EIC!?

During NYFW, Edward Enninful caught up with Vanessa Friedman for a new feature in The New York Times, out today. Timed to the launch of 72 magazine under him and sister Akua Enninful’s EE72 company, the former British Vogue EIC spoke with Friedman on launching the title, as well as his step back from styling and the quarterly mag’s distinct lack of ads (owed to an anonymous backer). The easygoing, beloved editor’s piece is also filled with anecdotes from friends and collaborators including Phoebe Philo, Stefano Tonchi, Oprah Winfrey, and 72 cover star Julia Roberts. One of the most surprising revelations, however, came fro mWinfrey—who shared that Enninful vocally never wanted to follow Anna Wintour as US Vogue‘s next editor in chief, a position whose title changed and then went to Chloe Malle last month.

“I just assumed he did,” Winfrey said, recalling he “didn’t even want” Wintour’s role. “When I did my first, and only, Vogue cover in 1998, I was crying because of what Vogue represented in my mind and in the culture. I just assumed if you were working in this industry, that is what you aspired to. But he didn’t.”

Tamron Hall Shines For The Accessories Council’s Ac Magazine 

You better work! Tamron Hall is the newest covergirl for The Accessories Council‘s signature Ac magazine, posing for its new Fall 2025 issue in regal gowns and sharp suiting by Sergio Hudson, Marchesa, Chuks Collins, and more. Inside the issue, the Emmy-winning host shares her personal fashion journey through the decades—plus how she’s begun expressing herself more visually, the personal impact of her family’s heritage, love of hoop earrings and vintage shopping, and how her son Moses recognizes her passion for fashion. The covergirl moment arrives as Hall notably celebrates her namesake talk show’s seventh season, as well as her 55th birthday.

“Fashion is a weapon. It’s not just what you wear—it’s how you present yourself to the world,” Hall said. “[Moses] knows when I’m leaving the house based on my shoes. He’ll see a pair of heels and say, ‘Okay, Mommy’s going to work.’ That makes me smile because it shows him that fashion is part of who I am, not something I put on for other people.”
