'Who Okayed This Cover?' Elliot Page's First Men's Style Cover for New York Magazine Mocked as 'Uncomfortable' and 'Unmoisturised'

Elliot Page has become the face of New York Magazine's inaugural Men's Style issue, but the unusual cover has already become a major talking point online. Rather than receiving universal praise for the actor's appearance, social media users have questioned the magazine's decision to use a shirtless image in which Page appears serious and somewhat uncomfortable.

The cover shows Page shirtless in blue striped shorts, leaning against a wooden door with his tattooed arms crossed. It forms part of an 89-page special issue built around men's fashion, health and culture, although the magazine has deliberately moved away from the conventional polished style associated with traditional men's fashion publications.
