Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his wife’s photoshoot with Vogue stirred controversy

On July 26, fashion magazine Vogue published an article on Olena Zelenska, wife of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, where they portrayed her as a brave woman. The article talked in length about her ‘struggle’ during the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia and how she always stayed behind the scene. While such articles are often well-received, this particular one drew ire. The reason behind the outrage is the photoshoot that Vogue did for the article.

There were a total of five photographs published by Vogue with the article. All photographs were staged and well-lit to make Zelenska look like a powerful woman who stood by her husband during difficult times. However, netizens did not take it well and criticized the way the photographs were shot. Vogue posted videos of the photoshoot, which showed how it was well planned and how the scenes where the photos were taken were staged.

A post shared by Vogue (@voguemagazine)

In the video posted by Vogue on Instagram, the President and the first lady of Ukraine were seen discussing with the Vogue photographer about the photoshoot, followed by getting photographs clicked. From the cover photograph to the couple’s shot, every photograph seems to have been well thought out, well planned and perfectly lit as per the requirements of the magazine. President Zelenskyy was seen involved in a discussion with the photographer about the shots. In the 18-second video, different locations were shown to portray the first lady as strong support for the President during war times.

Netizens criticized the photoshoot

Writer and producer David Angelo said, “Zelensky is such a fraud. I swear to god, what are we doing here? I’m not risking WWIII for a Vogue shoot.” He added, “We paid like 90 billion dollars so they could air drop Annie Leibovitz into Kyiv.” Annie Leibovitz is a celebrated American photographer famous for dramatic celebrity portraits. Declared a ‘living legend’ by the Library of Congress, Leibovitz took the photographs of Olena Zelenska and Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

I’m confused. The Ukrainian people are stuck fighting a war that they cannot possibly win, and instead of working towards a life-saving solution Zelensky has time for photo shoots with Vogue.

This is the “world class” leader the media was telling us about?? pic.twitter.com/kKne00qQWf

Legal correspondent for The Federalist Margot Cleveland said, “People are criticizing the Zelensky Vogue wartime glamour shoot as narcissistic, in poor taste, and wrongly timed but what they forget is that it’s also tone deaf and elitist.”

Rebel News Australia Chief Avi Yemini said, “I respected Zelensky at the beginning of the war when we were flooded with photos of the Ukrainian President on the frontline in tactical gear. Turned out the photos were faked. An act like the man himself. Now posing for Vogue. All to grift billions from western taxpayers.”

Presenter Max said, “No shade, but I find the First Lady #olenaZelenska and President #Zelensky doing a shoot with #Vogue odd .. I know it’s about how she is coping and being strong. This pic just looks so posey and maybe not the right vibe.”
