Vanity Fair captures the media’s move towards increased diversity on their 2nd annual Hollywood Portfolio cover.
Stars, both established and rising, aligned for the striking shot which was lensed by Anne Leibovitz.
Included is Janelle Monae, who has received rave reviews for her roles in ‘Hidden Figures’ and ‘Moonlight’ (both of which received several Oscar nominations).
Also featured is Lupita Nyong’o, whose recent film ‘The Queen Of Katwe’ was critically acclaimed.
We were also elated to spot Aja Naomi King. For, beyond her work on ‘How To Get Away With Murder,’ she’s still managing to shine through the darkness that encased ‘The Birth Of A Nation’ – which she starred in last year alongside Nate Parker.
Peep the ladies close up’s after the jump…
Why did you exclude Ruth Negga
I was wondering the same.
Shes not as well known, but still great! I dont think it was intentional shade… Becase if thats the case, he should have named them all pictured……
black is beautiful
Nice to see Aja Naomi. Such a fan of hers and HTGAWM.

I like Lupita but she won an oscar 2 years ago Viola Davis should have been in her place I think she is more deserving she has a successfull tv show ,hit movie, critically acclaimed movie and has won a golden globe,Oscar nom this year
