Carine Roitfeld started CR Fashion Book in 2012, and the New York-based biannual magazine is still going strong. As editor-in-chief, Roitfeld has endorsed everyone from Kim Kardashian to Gigi Hadid and Lady Gaga to Beyoncé as cover stars over the past decade. Angelina Jolie fronted CR last season, with Madonna turning up on the cover of CR Fashion Book Issue #26 for Spring 2025. The multi-faceted American icon is reunited with photographer and long-time collaborator friend Steven Klein for the occasion, with Roitfeld herself reporting for styling duties. Madonna proves she is an unstoppable force throughout a thriller-inspired cover story of sin, seduction, and secrets.
Madonna for CR Fashion Book Spring 2025
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“What is going on?” immediately asked kokobombon upon checking out the cover.
“Do we even care at this point? Like honestly!” exclaimed a disinterested BelkaniStaCouture.
“Nothing surprising about this repetitive style of Madonna; it’s already been seen. The Photoshop make Madonna look AI,” noted forum member testinofan.
MDNA commented: “Besides the Bardot hair, I’ve seen this styling from her like 1,000 times. The Photoshop is so tasteless. Maybe I’m just not of a fan of that new face!”
“I am FAR from a Madonna fan lately, so the sight of Madonna here on CR Fashion Book doesn’t exactly thrill me. At this point, it’s all just SO overplayed, overdone and overly-retouched. The art direction of the cover is an absolute eyesore,” voiced vogue28.
Yet not everyone was unsatisfied. “I absolutely LOVE this! So Madonna, so Klein, so HOT. Madonna is 66, and has done every shoot imaginable. She’s not required to reinvent the wheel she invented,” enthused mepps.
