Harper’s BAZAAR has unveiled their global ICONS Issue, featuring Dua Lipa, Kate Moss, Adèle Exarchopoulos and Karina, across 21 BAZAAR editions worldwide.
The people in BAZAAR’s September 2025 ICONS issue don’t stand at a distance from the rest of us or conform to traditional (and often outdated) notions of how to create, represent, or lead. Their paths are nonlinear. Their spirits are collaborative. They are as vulnerable as they are visionary and as curious as they are commanding. Instead of perfection and polished surfaces, they offer depth, dimension, and a daring sense of adventure. They allow us to feel seen by letting us see who they really are as they figure that out themselves in real time. In doing so, they expand and reshape our notion of what it means to be an ICON.
Check out the full Harper’s BAZAAR US 2025 ICONS Issue featuring cover star Dua Lipa – photographed in Valentino wearing BVLGARI – and this year’s other iconic subjects.
BAZAAR’s 12th annual ICONS portfolio, photographed by Philip-Daniel Ducasse and styled by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, profiles an array of artists, athletes, and actors who bring the fullness of who they are to their work. Hitmaker Benny Blanco, comedian Megan Stalter, artist Chase Hall, R&B singer Ravyn Lenae, snowboarder Chloe Kim, actor Sadie Sink, and director Eva Victor are subverting the expectations of their prescribed paths to create new ones forward.
Dua Lipa covers Harper’s BAZAAR US, Kate Moss and Adèle Exarchopoulos appear on Harper’s BAZAAR France, while Karina covers Harper’s BAZAAR Korea. The ICONS cover stars will also appear across other editions of BAZAAR worldwide, including Japan, China, Italy, UK, Middle East, Germany Australia, Greece, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Netherlands, Serbia, Spain, Vietnam, and Ukraine.
