We’ve become fairly accustomed to seeing A-list talent splashed across the cover of W Magazine. The American magazine’s annual Best Performances issue is here for 2025. Naturally, Sara Moonves (who has served as editor-in-chief since 2019) ushers in some of Hollywood’s finest onto a selection of covers. Mooves drops her usual go-to of Juergen Teller in favor of Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott for 2025. This year’s W Magazine Best Performances installment sees Selena Gomez, Zendaya, Angelina Jolie, Ariana Grande, Nicole Kidman, Cynthia Erivo, Demi Moore, Tilda Swinton, Saoirse Ronan, Zoe Saldana, Mia Goth, Daniel Craig, Paul Mescal, Colman Domingo, Kingsley Ben-Adir, and Adrien Body front a total of 16 covers.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I am SO here for a departure from the Juergen Teller-ification of the Best Performances issue,” immediately applauded KoV.

“I’m glad it’s a Mert & Marcus offering,” echoed forum member jeje10.

“Beautiful covers, all of them! The Angelina Jolie cover stole my heart,” shared Ihhbl.

Vogue22 commented: “Love the Tilda Swinton, Zendaya and Angelina Jolie covers!”

“Honestly this is outstanding, from the covers reminiscent of 90s and 00s W, the rooster of stars is top level. I need to buy at least seven covers,” ReneSanchez raved.

“Strong covers all around,” Marc10 applauded.

“An instant classic issue. A near perfect portrayal of the actors by W Magazine in a LONG time. I will be picking up my first W in years,” declared GERGIN.

Since its inception back in 2014, the American edition of Harper’s Bazaar have bestowed upon us their annual icons issue with each and every September issue and the magazine is showing no signs of dropping the tradition anytime soon.
Under the tutelage of the publication’s current editor Samira Nasr, this year’s inductees into Bazaar‘s icon hall of fame for September 2023 are Kendall Jenner, Doja Cat and Paul Mescal. The trio of cover stars are each given their own solo cover for the event, all appearing before the lens of photographer Mario Sorrenti. Kendall Jenner, in her cover shot (above), wears Miu Miu while Doja Cat (below) wears a show-stopping creation from Dolce & Gabbana and Paul Mascal (after the jump) sports Gucci – all selected by stylist Beat Bolliger.

Per usual, members of our forums were quick to respond to the covers. “Icons? What icons?” asked WilliamsLe010919.
“Where are the icons?” MON laughed.
“I totally forbid the use of the word ICON from a fashion magazine until the end of time!” declared Kerg.
“Bland and boring, two words which are now synonymous with Samira Nasr’s Harper’s Bazaar. Absolutely no surprise AT ALL to see these covers, not even for such a celebratory month like September, have zero oomph or pizazz to them. A downright embarrassment to declare this an issue dedicated to icons – and deliver us this,” voiced vogue28.
“You wouldn’t think these are supposed to be September covers! Everything is just so cold and sterile. The fact that they wanted Kendall AND Doja screams desperation, such a massive red flag,” Benn98 pointed out.
