Overview
- The 32nd annual edition arrives with three covers featuring Jeremy Allen White, Glen Powell, A$AP Rocky, LaKeith Stanfield, Callum Turner, Riz Ahmed, Harris Dickinson, Andrew Garfield, Paul Mescal, Michael B. Jordan, Austin Butler and Jonathan Bailey.
- Guiducci says the choice is not a political statement and marks a shift from an Oscar-nominee roundup to an idea-driven concept about a new crop of leading men.
- Initial online response is mixed, with enthusiasm from some readers and criticism from others over the absence of women on the covers.
- The covers were photographed by Theo Wenner and styled by Tom Guinness, with shoots in Malibu and London that pair tuxedos with casual pieces.
- The rollout accompanies broader changes at Vanity Fair under Guiducci, including shuttering The Hive, staff moves, a logo redesign and print upgrades, as the brand reports a digital traffic decline and readies its awards-season coverage.
