Recently, fashion powerhouse ELLE unveiled its September Issue cover featuring Xiao Zhan. Known as the “Golden Nine” issue, September is a pivotal month in the fashion calendar that sets the tone for the upcoming season’s trends. A star gracing this specific cover enjoys an elevated status in the fashion industry.
Notably, Xiao Zhan is the sole male star to adorn the cover in 2024, generating significant online buzz.
Amidst the buzz surrounding the announcement, some anti-fans spread false information claiming Xiao Zhan’s cover was a supplement instead of the main issue. ELLE officially denied these claims, stating, “Mr. Xiao Zhan was invited to collaborate on the cover of ELLE’s September issue, which is the main issue of this month. Please do not believe or spread rumors with ulterior motives.“
Xiao Zhan’s ELLE cover showcases a monochromatic palette of black, white, and gray with denim as the focal point. In the photos, Xiao Zhan is mostly dressed in denim, with his jacket collar popped up for a touch of fashion. There are also shots of him wearing a white shirt, adorned with multiple rings, adding depth to the overall look. Netizens have praised Xiao Zhan’s simple yet stylish appearance, saying that he can easily showcase his handsome look without relying on exaggerated outfits.
Xiao Zhan, best known for his performances in “The Untamed,” “The Youth Memories,” and “Douluo Continent,” has recently joined the film crew for the upcoming movie “De Xian Jin Zhi (得闲谨制)”. Directed by Kong Sheng, renowned for “Nirvana in Fire,” the film is currently in production.
