Sharon Stone Is Modern Goddess with Ancient Roots in Vogue Adria June 2025 AOC Fashion

Actor, activist, humanist and hardcore ballbreaker Sharon Stone is the cover star of Vogue Adria [IG] June 2025. Stone is joined by models Gabriel Aubry and Adam Senn in a provocative fashion story styled by Paris Libby.

Photographer Branislav Simoncik [IG] captures the visual narrative that reminds us of 90s Gianni Versace, Dolce & Gabbana and even Valentino. It intrigues me to review French luxury brands and Italian brands historically on this idea. Actually, Simoncik’s IG warrants studying. Stone is not the only powerful, sensual woman he’s captured recently.

Goddess Worship in the Adriatic Sea Region

I may be wrong, but in my mind, the French do not reference this visualization of the ancient priestess and the men who worship her in a way the Italians have been comfortable doing forever. Even when she exists long overthrown from her throne, Italian men understand women like Sharon Stone in a way that French men do not.

Having spent a decade of my life constantly in and out of both cultures monthly, I’m not suggesting France is more antagonistic towards women like Sharon Stone from an older-woman standpoint. And both cultures are infinitely better for aging women than America. My comment is exclusively about ancient goddess worship seeping into ad campaigns and fashion stories.

Sharon Stone is interviewed by Teodora Jeremic who writes an opening statement that’s a call to action for the Sharon Stone posse. Jeremic is a feminist art historian, freelance contemporary art curator and writer based in Belgrade.

In its simplest form, Sharon Stone is a glass half full person. And she is the consummate ballbreaker.

Right wingers insist that ballbreakers are narcissistic women consumed with our own self-image and self-contained universe. In fact, ballbreakers are more likely to be exactly the opposite.

Sharon Stone: Where Intimacy Meets Power

The world as we know it lately hasn’t been its best version, and honestly, I’m not sure what will save it anymore, except some incredible people I still believe in—those who know themselves and others, aren’t afraid to be honest about it, understand what a rollercoaster is, ride it without blinking, and despite everything, don’t stop carrying optimism. ~ Sharon Stone
