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.“
