8

Linda Evangelista is reclaiming her covergirl status this week! The supermodel fronts Harper’s Bazaar‘s radiant May 2025 issue, posing in sweeping ensembles from Loewe, Givenchy, Alexandre Vauthier Couture, Prada, Saint Laurent, Alaïa, Jacquemus, Calvin Klein Collection for Anthony Seklaoui’s lens. The magazine’s latest beauty-focused editorial, however, goes deeper than just makeup and skincare. In her revealing new feature interview with Linda Wells, Evangelista opens up about living through her liposuction and double mastectomy, her strong desire to live, self-love, work ethic, and the true meaning of beauty. On a reflective note, Evangelista also shares her thoughts and personal struggles following the viral CoolSculpting treatment that left permanent damage to her body, which she first shared with the world in 2022.

“It’s hard to imagine,” Evangelista said of her experience. “I have to go through therapy to like what I see when I look in the mirror, and I still don’t look in the mirror. I didn’t want to see myself because I didn’t love myself or like myself.”
