Why have one cover star when you can have 40?

Edward Enninful said goodbye to his job as editor-in-chief of British Vogue after seven years with one star-studded cover featuring supermodels, pop stars, movie stars and more.

Mother-daughter duos including Kate and Lila Moss and Cindy Crawford and Kaia Gerber front the March 2024 mag alongside pop stars like Dua Lipa and Miley Cyrus.

But it’s supermodels who take up most of the real estate; Linda Evangelista, Gigi Hadid, Iman, Amber Valletta, Irina Shayk, Cara Delevingne, Karlie Kloss, Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington are among the many major faces represented.

Jane Fonda, Oprah, Salma Hayek, Selma Blair, Victoria Beckham, Ariana DeBose, Anya Taylor-Joy, Laverne Cox and Serena Williams are among the other A-list participants.

Enninful — who announced in June 2023 that he would be stepping away from as EIC — tapped famed photographer Steven Meisel for the shoot, which saw all 40 in-demand women actually gather together in the same room. Pat McGrath oversaw the makeup for the entire endeavor.

Miley Cyrus strutted her stuff, of course.

“When it came to my last issue, I knew the cover would be dedicated to women. Of course! Women have shaped British Vogue for close to 108 years now, and have certainly informed every moment of my six and a half year tenure here, to say nothing of leading and guiding me through my entire life,” Enninful wrote, in part, for his last editor’s letter.
