OK, we can admit InStyle Australia doesn’t command our attention with each and every issue but when Abbey Lee is on the mag’s front cover – our attention is for the taking. Editor Justine Cullen brilliantly welcomes the Aussie model-turned-actress onto the magazine’s Winter 2024 installment. Here at theFashionSpot, we have been obsessed with all-things Abbey Lee subsequent to the Australian beauty bursting onto the fashion scene circa 2008. Lee (who made a return as the face of Gucci last month) takes to the desert in Palm Springs, California for Australian InStyle‘s latest, via the lens of photographer Tim Ashton. Rachel Wayman, InStyle Australia’s fashion director, was on hand to style Abbey in a look from Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Pre-Fall 2024 Christian Dior collection as she gazes down Asthon’s lens in the commanding cover shot.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Good to see Abbey Lee,” applauded oaklee91 the moment the cover struck.

“Love it! Abbey Lee still delivers,” Urban Stylin enthused.

“Miles better than Vogue Australia’s current offering,” noted vogue28. “Not to mention how terrific it is to see Abbey. The cover shot itself is fantastic, love the Dior look, the lighting, the setting, and the intense stare from Abbey. Zero complaints from me!”

Sharing the same level of enthusiasm was iriswills, commenting: “Abbey looks lovely. It’s great when models know how to deliver effortlessly!”

“Abbey deserves better than InStyle,” voiced Cute.

In complete agreement was jeremydante, adding: “I feel like Aussie InStyle isn’t good enough for Abbey!”
