As editor-in-chief of British Harper’s Bazaar, Lydia Slater secures a wealth of talent for the covers of the Hearst-owned fashion title. Cover stars of late have included Pamela Anderson, Rosamund Pike, Jodie Turner-Smith, Claire Foy, Rebecca Ferguson, Rachel Zegler, Anne Hathaway, and Jodie Comer. To coincide with the release of Lisa Eldridge’s Marilyn Monroe-inspired makeup collection, Slater taps Sophie Dahl as a British Harper’s Bazaar cover girl, who fronts the digital July/August 2026 edition of the magazine. Photographed by Agata Pospieszynska and styled by Miranda Almond, the British fashion model morphs into the Hollywood icon for the occasion. In the sun-drenched cover shot, Sophie poses poolside and basks under the warm summer sunshine.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Look at Lisa Aldridge’s influence, getting a magazine cover story to promote her makeup!” raved kokobombon.
“I was recently wondering about Dahl. It is great to see her,” championed MModa immediately upon checking out the cover.
Vogue28 commented: “Very beautifully shot, and almost a crying shame to ‘waste’ this on a digital feature. I would have happily raced out and bought a copy of this. Sophie Dahl looks fantastic, and I am not at ALL surprised to see such flawless makeup from Lisa Eldridge. The whole shoot is so tastefully done.”
“Should have been print. Gorgeous, I love it!” VanillaCrush echoed.
