Kristen McMenamy Serves Pure Unapologetic Fashion & Drama on the Covers of W Korea

OK, we can admit that, here at theFashionSpot, W Magazine Korea doesn’t take our fancy each and every month. However, over the years, we’ve sung the title’s praises loud and clear when dropping covers with the likes of Amelia Gray and Anja Rubik. Hyejoo Lee, who has served as editor-in-chief since 2005, invites none other than Kristen McMenamy onto the cover of W Korea for the August 2025 edition of the magazine. The icon of the modeling world and current face of Versace takes to the lens of the photographic duo Sean + Seng. Across three celebratory covers, the American beauty (whose career spans almost five decades) is dressed by stylist Shin Kim in an array of high fashion looks, each teamed with jewelry from Cartier.

“Kristen McMemany is a model who looks better as she ages,” heralded oaklee91 upon checking out the covers.

“Yes, Ms. McMenamy has been showing out lately!” replied niknak. “I am OBSESSED with that first cover. That’s how it’s done folks!”

“So stunning. The first and third covers are great,” shared fauxfashion.

Sharing the same level of enthusiasm was vogue28. “Kristen has always been a model who has such a strong and commanding presence, and this is no exception. She’s not emoting anything, but her presence is captivating in each of the three covers. I am particularly fond of the second and third – especially the third. So full of fashion and drama… YES!” they exclaimed.
