British Vogue editor-in-chief Edward Enninful has unveiled his monumental farewell cover, featuring an impressive lineup of 40 "legendary women."
Supermodels, Hollywood stars, fashion icons, and sporting champions converged in New York City for a "once in a lifetime" photo session captured by the renowned photographer Steven Meisel.
The shoot marks the largest assembly of women ever captured for a Vogue cover, symbolising the culmination of Enninful's transformative six-year tenure at the magazine. Each of the women featured has graced the magazine's cover under his stewardship.
At the heart of the star-studded tableau sits American broadcasting legend Oprah Winfrey, surrounded by luminaries such as tennis legend Serena Williams, acting icon Jane Fonda, and fashion designer Victoria Beckham.
The cover, which hits newsstands on from Tuesday, February 13, also boasts two mother-and-daughter model duos: Kate and Lila Moss, alongside Cindy Crawford and Kaia Gerber.
Aside from Moss and Crawford, fellow supermodels Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Amber Valletta, Iman and Naomi Campbell posed for the historic shoot.
Meanwhile, rising runway stars Adut Akech, Vittoria Ceretti, and Anok Yai appear on the cover as the next generation of supermodels, alongside Gigi Hadid, Jourdan Dunn, Cara Delevingne, Irina Shayk and Adwoa Aboah.
Not only is fashion royalty recognised but British acting talent such as Jodie Comer, Simone Ashley, Gemma Chan, Cynthia Erivo and Gugu Mbatha-Raw alongside TV stars Maya Jama and Jameela Jamil.
Speaking of his final cover for the fashion bible, Enninful said: “So here it is: my 76th and final edition of Vogue, six and a half years and 153 cover stars later, including the 40 legendary women who feature on this cover.
“It’s been an extraordinary ride and an absolute honour.
“ As I step into my new role, as Condé Nast’s global creative and cultural advisor for Vogue, I’m determined to keep championing the incredible array of voices in fashion and media, and ensure we keep the energy explosion of the last few years going.
“We always say it, because it always needs to be said: there is a great deal yet to be done.”
