With Hollywood’s diversity (or the lack there of) at the centre of debate these days, Vanity Fair assert their stance with the striking cover for their March 2016 issue.
Billed as the publication 22nd Annual Oscar Extravaganza, the issue prominently features Emmy winner Viola Davis.
The ‘How To Get Away With Murder’ actress is joined a-front of the issue by Jane Fonda, Cate Blanchett, and Jennifer Lawrence
Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o also appears within the inner pages.
Check out the captivating full cast snap, lensed by Annie Leibovitz, below…

So, those are the only two women of color they could find? I don’t know how I feel about J. Law touching Violas heavenly knee, but whatever! It’s a good cover. Would’ve loved for Uzo, Regina, Kerry, Taraji, and Queen to be in the spread.
How many did there need to be for your quota to be met?
Viola Davis, Charlotte Rampling, and Helen Mirren looking majestic and regal.
Jennifer Lawrence looking unnecessary in an otherwise perfect photo shoot.
And Cate Blanchett. Cate Blanchett just being perfection incarnate.
Unnecessary is the word.
My girl Diane Keaton slaying in the corner.
