Abstract

This study examines the construction of feminist narratives in the digital edition of Vogue Mexico and Latin America during the 2020-2024 period, through an intersectional and critical approach. Discourses on feminism, diversity, and inclusion are embraced in content regarding fashion, beauty, and journalistic practices. Methodologically, a non-experimental qualitative design and the textual analysis of 180 articles published during this period were used. The findings reveal a discursive tension between the surface-level adoption of contemporary feminism values and the persistence of traditional standards of beauty and consumption. Despite isolated diversity depictions, the remaining market logics within the content coverage erode the emancipatory potential of feminist discourse. It is concluded that the magazine’s narrative oscillates between symbolic progressiveness and the reinforcement of stereotypes, resulting in an ambiguous editorial line. Future research could focus on the role of the digital ecosystem in reconfiguring gender and beauty portrayals in fashion media.
