What BBN said about it
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorVogue is under fire this morning because its Jenna Ortega cover looks a lot like two others from the same photographer.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe New York Post reports that The Wall Street Journal magazine and Elle ran nearly identical shoots by Szilveszter Makó days before Vogue's cover appeared on Thursday.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSame photographer, three covers. Does the photographer get a discount for volume?
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMr. Makó has shot Gigi Hadid for the Journal and Hunter Schafer for Elle this November.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorVogue got Ms. Ortega in a cream silk Dior gown with floral appliqués.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat's a lovely dress. And three different celebrities, so nobody's wearing the same thing, right?
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe dress is different. The mood, I am told, is not, and I'd call that a treaty violation.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorVogue quotes Ms. Ortega saying she won't be boxed in.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAnd yet here she is, in a set of three.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorLove it. Love all of it. Rating: three covers, one photographer, zero complaints from the photographer.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI just hope Szilveszter Makó has a loyalty card, because that's three shoots, and the fourth one's free.
