Gorgeous!

 

[Benn98]

Finally, some good old sex appeal from Vanity Fair!
Great shot, would never have guessed it was by Ethan James Green and maybe that's a good thing.

Mark Seliger must be weeping.

 

[mepps]

Gorgeous cover! Ethan nailed this.
The editorial is decidedly not sexy, but very well done, and true to Joaquin.

Radhika lost her identity

sorry but all I can think of is Jennifer Lawrence for Vanity Fair but now all of the sex is gone and the bird was cooked up and eaten by Joaquin...

And somewhere out there, Elizabeth Taylor and Helmut Newton are shaking their heads at Jennifer Lawrence in that shot.

This theme has already been done enough but whatever. Joaquin looks hot af and I just can't deny that stare.

 

[jjjmmm]

what a half-baked cover...
it feels in the middle of everything, not sexy enough, not ironic enough.

and the subtitle... "on losing river..." are we in 1995?

i am not going to defend graydon carter, but radhika seems to have no clue.

I was thinking that as well, it feels a bit...random. Especially sinc it's something which he never really put out there.
I mean, you really need to be around his age to know about River. Imagine a Gen Z-er picking this up, and their confusion over who River was.
Yes, yes, I know. Not everything is supposed to be targeted at them, but it is print media who conditioned me to this line of thinking.

River's name might have faded from the level of fame he had when alive - but the tragic death of any film star or musician will always make compulsive reading for fresh generations.

After all, there are plenty of young people keeping the story of Sid and Nancy alive, and discussions about Kurt Cobain show no signs of abating as the decades pass. River Phoenix will have his own following, helped on by constant nostalgia about the 90s.

 

[Handbag Queen]

Love him and love this cover!!

 

[Joromana]

Kinda loving this and all the images released on IG.

Now that you mention Kurt Cobain: I was a teenager when he died and a classmate of me of that time is now a teacher. One of her students told her about an "insider's tip" for an old band she had probably never heard before: Nirvana...

 

[darri]

Lacklustre.

 

[SophiaVB]

OK he looks sexy.

 

[JPineapple]

It may sound out of context but after this cover, Joaquin can choke me if he wants.

 

[tigerrouge]

Just when my two-year subscription is coming to an end, Vanity Fair delivers an issue where it feels they finally have a handle on what would make them worth reading again.

 

[dfl-001]

Lacklustre.

Took the word right out of my mouth! lol
This fully clothed celebrity, wet, in a swimming pool has been done-to-death.
So boring.
