Radhika Jones continues to implement some serious pull when it comes to enlisting cover stars for Vanity Fair. Jones, who has served as editor-in-chief since 2017, has welcomed everyone from Natalie Portman and Anne Hathaway to Simone Biles and Selena Gomez as cover stars throughout 2024. Making a not-so-surprising appearance together across three covers of Vanity Fair for November are Wicked co-stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. The pair pose together in cover one, via the lens of photographer Norman Jean Roy. Stylist Patti Wilson dressed Erivo in Louis Vuitton and Grande in Marc Jacobs. Erivo also sports Vuitton in her respective solo cover, while Grande poses in a Chanel creation on the third and final cover offering.
The November 2024 Cover of Vanity Fair with Cynthia Erivo & Ariana Grande:
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Cynthia’s cover is OK. Ariana’s is terribly bad!” shrieked DK92 upon checking out the covers.
“Bewitched? No. Bothered and bewildered? Yes,” laughed forum member KoV.
“The joint cover looks like a lighting test,” critiqued Lucien112.
Also not buying it was Kenny, commenting: “I wish Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande had fully embraced their characters for this cover especially since they’re promoting Wicked. It’s obvious this isn’t a fashion magazine but I can’t help but wish they had taken a different approach on set. Maybe a more colorful backdrop?”
“All of them are awful, and Cynthia should sue,” declared mepps.
“Ariana Grande’s expressions are atrocious. She always seems to be trying way too hard, and that blonde doesn’t do her ANY favors. This whole Wicked portfolio feels perfectly suitable and appropriate for Vanity Fair but it does zilch for me,” voiced vogue28.
