Rebecca Leigh Longendyke Oozes Sex Appeal on the ‘Simple But Effective’ Covers of Harper’s Bazaar France

Olivier Lalanne has impeccable taste in models. Period. After all, as editor-in-chief of Harper’s Bazaar France, Lalanne has championed everyone from new faces like Nastassia Legrand to supermodel icon Kate Moss and the girls-of-the-moment, including Rianne van Rompaey and Lulu Tenney. Up next on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar France is Rebecca Leigh Longendyke. For the title’s double June/July 2025 edition, the American model poses across a twosome of sun-drenched covers. The shoot was complete with the photographer Purienne and Bazaar France’s fashion director Elodie David Touboul. The team ventured to the idyllic Greek island of Hydra for the occasion. In each of the two cover images, Rebecca poses in looks from Gucci.

“Love their summer covers!” immediately admired BalkaniStaCouture.

“The covers are great. Simple but effective,” Lola701 approved.

“I love this photographer, Purienne. He understands sex, and the male gaze. I can appreciate that, even tho I’m gay,” shared forum member mepps.

Also very much a fan was vogue28. “I absolutely love the warmth and subtle sex appeal of the first cover (which, in all honesty, was the only cover required). Rebecca looks fantastic, and it’s giving pretty much everything I expect from a summer cover of a fashion magazine. Bravo, Bazaar France!” he applauded.
