What our vision model saw

4 signals

Page renders the recognizable Vogue magazine masthead, navigation, and editorial content consistent with a legitimate fashion publication homepage.

Large blank area below the hero navigation likely represents an unloaded hero image or ad slot — a common render artefact on JS-heavy media sites.

Subscription banner and 'SUBSCRIBE NOW' call-to-action are standard editorial magazine promotional elements with no deceptive characteristics.

No countdown timers, fake trust badges, urgency overlays, or suspicious form elements visible.

Confidence
Vogue.com is the authentic online presence of the Vogue fashion magazine, founded in 1892 and owned by Condé Nast (part of Advance Publications) since 1909. The domain has been registered for over 32 years, carries a valid SSL certificate, and shows zero malware detections across our antivirus network. The page renders a professional editorial homepage with standard magazine navigation and subscription prompts — no deceptive elements or phishing indicators are present. While independent review sites show some customer complaints about product returns and shipping delays, these are typical e-commerce friction points, not indicators of fraud. Separate phishing emails impersonating Vogue editors exist online, but those are external scams targeting the brand's reputation, not issues with the official vogue.com domain itself.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The homepage displays the recognizable Vogue masthead, editorial navigation (Fashion, Beauty, Culture, Living), and professional magazine layout. The page is a JavaScript-heavy media site with standard subscription and account prompts. No login forms, countdown timers, fake trust badges, or urgency overlays are present.

Infrastructure

Hosted on IP 166.117.251.134 with zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score. SSL certificate is valid (Amazon RSA 2048 M04) with 157 days to expiry. The domain redirects once to a cross-domain endpoint, a normal pattern for major media properties managing traffic across CDNs and ad networks.

Domain History

Registered approximately 32 years ago (11,718 days), making it one of the earliest major fashion websites. Registrar is CSC Corporate Domains, Inc., a legitimate enterprise registrar. WHOIS privacy is not enabled, and the domain shows no homoglyph or internationalized-domain indicators.

Web Reputation

Zero detections from our antivirus network and clean browser blocklists. Business registration confirms active status as Condé Nast's official Vogue property. Independent review aggregators show a 1.5/5 rating on an independent review aggregator (131 reviews), primarily citing product-return portal issues and shipping delays — typical e-commerce complaints rather than fraud indicators. Separate phishing campaigns impersonate Vogue editors via email, but these are external scams, not compromises of the official domain.

Risk Factors
2
  • Some customer complaints on independent review sites regarding product returns and shipping, though these reflect e-commerce friction rather than fraud.
  • Phishing emails impersonating Vogue editors circulate online, but these target the brand's reputation and are not hosted on vogue.com.
Positive Signals
5
  • Official website of Vogue magazine, a globally recognized fashion publication founded in 1892.
  • Owned and operated by Condé Nast, a major U.S. media conglomerate headquartered in New York.

Research summary
Narrative write-up from our AI analyst, grounded on the facts above

Our research confirmed vogue.com as the official website of Vogue magazine, owned by Condé Nast since 1909. The domain has been active for over 32 years and is widely recognized as the legitimate online presence for the 1892-founded fashion publication.

Independent review sites show customer complaints primarily related to e-commerce friction: product-return portal issues and shipping delays. A 1.5/5 rating on an independent review aggregator (131 reviews) reflects these operational complaints rather than fraud or scam indicators.

Separate phishing campaigns impersonate Vogue editors via email to solicit personal information or recruit writers. These are external scams targeting the brand's reputation, not compromises of the official vogue.com domain.

No evidence of vogue.com being a clone, typosquat, or fraudulent operation. The domain is the authentic Condé Nast property.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on vogue.com and not a lookalike like v-ogue.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review found no threat indicators on vogue.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • vogue.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 88/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. vogue.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Amazon · Amazon RSA 2048 M04, expiring in 157 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • vogue.com is 32.1 years old, registered on 5/17/1994 through CSC Corporate Domains, Inc.. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report vogue.com as clean.
  • No. vogue.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • vogue.com resolves to an IP operated by Amazon.com, Inc. in US (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • Yes. vogue.com sits in the global top-100k on Cloudflare Radar, which means it has substantial real-world traffic. That does not automatically make it safe, but established brands almost always rank here and throwaway scam domains almost never do.
