Award season is well and truly underway and W Magazine, as always, is jumping on the hype. Back in January, like clockwork, Sara Moonves bestowed upon us the annual ‘Best Performances‘ issue and follows it up with ‘The Directors Issue’ which has ultimately became a regular occurrence since 2019. This year’s offering for Volume #2 2024 gives us a threesome of covers, directed by a trio of Hollywood’s finest. Cover one is Saltburn‘s Barry Keoghan directed by Emerald Fennell. Secondly, we see actress America Ferrera directed by Barbie‘s Greta Gerwig, who poses in Fendi before the lens of photographer Mickalene Thomas. Anatomy of a Fall‘s Sandra Hüller is directed by Justine Triet on cover three, and captured by photographer Tyler Mitchell wearing a Louis Vuitton dress.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“An instant must-have,” raved KoV the moment the Barry Keoghan’s cover struck.

“Seems like he’s gonna be the new Ezra Miller,” noted phungam96.

“Buffy, Twilight, pearls and latex… they’re working overtime on the gay gaze and I hate to admit that it’s working. But America’s works better for me as a cover, she looks quite stunning,” voiced aracic.

Also very much a fan of Ferrera’s cover was forum member GivenchyAddict: “America is STUNNING. Bravo W!”

“America’s cover story is DIVINEEEE! She’s so fab, OMG!” fenty exclaimed.

“Oh Sandra looks AMAZING,” chimed in Kite.

“I love the 3 covers and respective editorials! I’m going bankrupt this month!” declared WAVES.

The selection of Hollywood stars poses for filmmaker and photographer Gordon von Steiner, and were styled by George Cortina throughout the sleek portfolio.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“It’s not my favorite Hollywood cover of Vanity Fair,” shared aracic the moment the cover struck.

“Making the cover of Vanity Fair‘s Hollywood issue… when the money’s no longer there,” chimed in an underwhelmed tigerrouge.

Also not exactly starstruck by the outcome was Marc10: “It literally looks like those photos they take backstage at award shows. Zero effort put into this. And it’s bad enough that the guys usually go for the boring black suits on the red carpet, but here too? Come on…”

“Everything is too cold and not very harmonious,” critiqued Ivanity86.

However, not everyone was left dissatisfied. “I am very much a fan of this! I’m able to appreciate how simple, clean and direct the cover image is. There’s zero signs of any weird Photoshop, and each of the subjects featured appear to have been photographed and styled beautifully,” defended vogue28.
