The Legendary Paulina Porizkova Is All Smiles on the ‘Joyous’ Cover of ELLE France

In our eyes, ELLE France rarely puts a foot wrong. After all, we’ve ridden hard for the French fashion weekly on the regular. Can you blame us? The magazine (helmed by Véronique Philipponnat) outshines its competition on the regular. Throughout 2025, covers starring the likes of Demi Moore, Laetitia Casta, Angèle, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Eva Mendes, Estelle Lefébure, and Dorit Revelis have enthralled us to no end. Up next on the cover of ELLE France is none other than Paulina Porizkova. The legendary Czech model (who recently resigned on the dotted line with Estée Lauder as brand ambassador) poses for photographer Lukas Kimlicka and is all smiles in the joyous cover image.

“Lovely! The smile is so infectious,” immediately admired oaklee91 upon first look.

“I love that Paulina Porizkova is on the cover. She looks great,” tigerrouge heralded.

“Cute, but I hate that jacket,” noted forum member Royal-Galliano.

Avonlea commented: “The styling is atrocious, but her face draws all the attention. It’s so captivating. Paulina still has that spark!”

“I just love how effortless and joyous the cover shot is. Not to mention how terrific it is to see Paulina Porizkova on the cover! She looks absolutely fantastic here. Lukas Kimlicka and the team have done her so much justice here,” voiced vogue28.
