Beth Nydick with Vanessa Coppes

Breaking on our show: @vanessacoppes just dropped an exclusive on the September issue of @bellamediaco and let me tell you, it's a statement. Cover line? "AI Can't Do This".

A direct clap back to @voguemagazine 's all AI generated Fashion Spread by @guess . And here's what you won't see in the glossy pages: Vanessa was sick to her stomach making this call. She knew it would ruffle feathers. But guided by prayer and conviction, she chose the harder road the one that protects creativity over convenience. That's what real confidence looks like: doing the hard thing, even when it scares you.

This September, BELLA is planting a flag: fast isn't better, real is. And speaking of real… Vanessa is also launching a beauty line "Hello Gorgeous" with anna.bellehedges finally, a makeup line that's good for our skin, affordable, and easy to use. Because beauty shouldn't be toxic, overpriced, or complicated.

Catch Vanessa's full take (and why this cover is more than just a headline).
