14 Years Worth of Annie Leibovitz's Cover Photos for Vanity Fair's Annual Hollywood Issue

Hey, guys. I was on Vanity Fair's web site tonight and happened to see a link to this on the front page. Basically, it's a collection of Annie Leibovitz's cover photos for the magazine's Hollywood issue for the last 14 years. I thought that the photos were really interesting and, considering how much Annie is in the news this week because of the Miley Cyrus controversy, I thought it would be a fun late-night post for everyone to be able to see. So, here it is. Enjoy!

’s Hollywood Issue: The Annie Leibovitz Covers



It all began in 1995 with 10 alluring beauties on a three-page foldout cover. With the current issue—fronted by fresh faces Emily Blunt, Amy Adams, Jessica Biel, and Anne Hathaway—Vanity Fair marks the 14th year of its gigantic annual Hollywood Issue, and thus the 14th year of Annie Leibovitz’s spectacular gatefold covers. These classic photographs capture Tinseltown talent and glamour like nothing else. Here’s a look back at all of them.

I don't know what to think of her tbh. I sorta wanna pinch her hard.
[info]clump 30th-Apr-2008 07:08 am (UTC)
P.S. I just got home from being on set with Naomi. BITCH WAS HALLA FIERCE AND VERY NICE AND POLITE. *takes off helmet*
[info]joanshearer Naomi Campbell?30th-Apr-2008 07:11 am (UTC)
if so, what were you shooting and when's it to come out?
[info]clump Re: Naomi Campbell?30th-Apr-2008 07:14 am (UTC)
Yeah, Campbell. A ~fine art~ piece for LaChapelle and I'd say in a few months or earlier.

Do tell a little bit, bb?
[info]bebe_cherie 30th-Apr-2008 07:16 am (UTC)
oh gurl DO TELL !!!!!!!
[info]janey 30th-Apr-2008 09:15 am (UTC)
My mom's friend is a make up artist and she loves Naomi. She says she's always super nice and easy to work with.
[info]quitequite 30th-Apr-2008 09:36 am (UTC)
Lol when my dad met her he said that she was really nice but totally in a world of her own.
[info]uhohlisa 30th-Apr-2008 07:09 am (UTC)
ALL LOOK SAME?

no but really, she's boring. so very, very boring. she's decent in skill but overrated and i wish conde nast would get off her jock.
[info]watermeloncholy 30th-Apr-2008 07:11 am (UTC)
All same theme? It's sort of hard to spice it up, considering she's shooting a large group of people. Plus, VF probably knows what they want from her etc.

Her other work is pretty nice.
[info]uhohlisa 30th-Apr-2008 07:25 am (UTC)
but the op wanted a favorite which is what I was questioning.

also not really. I pretty much hate everything about the way the majority of her work looks
[info]clever_tag_line 30th-Apr-2008 12:46 pm (UTC)
tbh her personal work is much better than her editorial work, and there aren't too many photographers that can pull off fine art and commercial. And she can. Love the bitch.
[info]calcified 30th-Apr-2008 02:04 pm (UTC)
iawtc tbh

her personal work isn't as great as people pretend either
[info]rissaroo 30th-Apr-2008 07:10 am (UTC)
i hate that one with scarlett johannson. ish.
[info]aprilbegins 30th-Apr-2008 07:39 am (UTC)
It's definitely my least favorite of the bunch. Kudos to Rachel McAdams for passing on it.
[info]ellefi 30th-Apr-2008 12:46 pm (UTC)
I agree, I find Vanity Fair to be generally sexist, but that one is by far the worst! What were they thinking?
[info]popcornfartv1 30th-Apr-2008 07:11 am (UTC)
the scarlett/keira one looks so awkward. maybe cause they're so pale and the guy is so tan.
[info]vanouria 30th-Apr-2008 04:33 pm (UTC)
and so clothed
[info]whatkristendid 30th-Apr-2008 07:11 am (UTC)

[info]apolla 30th-Apr-2008 08:09 pm (UTC)
I find Paul Walker ruins most things.
[info]strong_glad 1st-May-2008 03:02 am (UTC)
haha i noticed that too. it makes him look so clueless.
[info]malidocious 1st-May-2008 04:36 am (UTC)
LOL I love it, though. It cracks me up.
[info]sinfulroad 30th-Apr-2008 07:12 am (UTC)
I just put Rachael Ray's face on Miley's body since my mom hates her and now I'm going to make it her wallpaper ^_^
[info]ilovebeaarthur 30th-Apr-2008 03:50 pm (UTC)

[info]thebigquiet 30th-Apr-2008 07:40 am (UTC)

[info]fadedhal0 30th-Apr-2008 07:13 am (UTC)
I like the first one a lot, but I agree with one of the comments some where above me, they all look the same.
[info]imsuredoofy 30th-Apr-2008 07:13 am (UTC)
hai, 1996 Leo and 1998 Joaquin Phoenix.
[info]cheezplusrice 30th-Apr-2008 07:13 am (UTC)
oo i love everyone on the 1999 cover
[info]lolitascrush 30th-Apr-2008 07:13 am (UTC)
I thought she did one with the Olsen twins and Evan R Wood an Hil Duff way back when...?
[info]springmoon 30th-Apr-2008 09:35 am (UTC)
It's nice that they're all still doing really well career-wise (yes, even Lindsay) unlike most of the covers.
[info]gemmi_joo 30th-Apr-2008 08:05 am (UTC)
That wasn't a Hollywood Issue though. But a similar shoot.
[info]linkinpark9503 30th-Apr-2008 07:13 am (UTC)

[info]lolitascrush 30th-Apr-2008 07:18 am (UTC)
