We genuinely do not know where you’ve been if you weren’t already aware that Mark Guiducci (formerly of Vogue) was appointed to head up Vanity Fair. Back in April, Radhika Jones stepped down as editor-in-chief of the Condé Nast-owned title, following a 7-year tenure. Several months later, Guiducci’s first official issue has landed in the form of Vanity Fair‘s 32nd annual Hollywood Issue for 2026, which features an all-male cast. Across a selection of three collectable covers, photographer Theo Wenner profiles Jeremy Allen White, ASAP Rocky, Glen Powell, LaKeith Stanfield, Callum Turner, Riz Ahmed, Jonathan Bailey, Harris Dickinson, Andrew Garfield, Paul Mescal, Michael B. Jordan, and Austin Butler.
The 2026 Hollywood Issue of Vanity Fair
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Layout-wise, it’s really giving Graydon Carter’s 00s era VF!” noted Rigida.
“Very Bruce Weber, but it works. It’s nice to see this kind of joyful imagery. Not too fashion (because actors can’t handle it) but still perfectly executed,” approved Lola701.
“I love this! The first two covers are great; the third with Paul, MBJ and Austin is definitely the weakest. Love the new design. Feels very classic Vanity Fair. There’s a feeling of playfulness that has been missing,” admired forum member LastNight.
“Honestly, my favourite Hollywood cover in a while. Casting is impeccable,” Yohji applauded.
Yet not everyone was sold. “Absolutely dreadful. None of them are leading men. Why is Rihanna’s baby daddy there? Wearing socks on a beach? How do you make Austin Butler look mid?” quizzed mepps.
“Nice photos; awful styling,” Thefrenchy critiqued.
