The Big Four, sometimes referred to as The Big 4, is the name given in fashion to the four most notable Vogue covers; American Vogue, British Vogue, Vogue France and Vogue Italia. The term is commonly used when a model completes all four covers and is considered one of the biggest achievements in the fashion industry.[1]
The record of most Big 4 Vogue covers currently belongs to Kate Moss with 78 covers to date as of 2024.[2][3]
Gisele is the model with most Vogue covers total with over 130.[4]
The youngest model to ever cover the Big 4 was Karolina Kurkova,[5] who was 17. In 2020, at age 18, Kaia Gerber covered the Big 4. She is currently the second-youngest model to accomplish the Big 4. Kurkova has been the record holder since 2001, the same year Gerber was born.
Madonna became the first non-model and musician to complete covers of the Big Four in 1993, followed by Rihanna in 2021.[6]
