Tina Turner lands her first Vogue Cover!
Well it’s about time. At 73-years-old Tina Turner has landed her very first Vogue cover. And since Meryl Streep was American Vogue‘s oldest cover girl at 62, this might make her the oldest Vogue cover star of all time, too.
The legendary singer covers Vogue Germany‘s April issue, lensed by Claudia Knoepfel and Stefan Indlekofer and styled by Nicola Knels. It’s kind of a surprising choice for Vogue Germany, which generally prefers young starlets and models-of-the-moment for its cover features–but it’s a welcome one.
Reactions on The Fashion Spot range from incredulity to unabashed Tina Turner-fandom.
“I literally had to take a second look at the thread title to see if I had the right person hahah, what a glorious surprise,” Mrs Dalloway wrote. “She looks wonderful, its great to see someone her age being on the cover, exuding grace, and being natural, there is an easiness to this image, love it [sic].”
Another TFS commenter put it more simply: “holy crap! unexpected but I love it”
