The year 2022 demonstrated that a magazine cover is still a powerful tool, especially when it comes to fashion. From Brad Pitt to Zendaya, several iconic personalities turned cover stars for magazines. While some celebs were lauded for being bold as well as for their achievements, others faced some criticism for their bizarre approach. Let’s take a look at the top 10 trending magazine covers of 2022.
Brad Pitt – GQ
Brad Pitt’s shoot for GQ’s August edition sent social media into a frenzy. It featured the actor with a blank stare on his face, lying down surrounded by dark flowers. The shoot was done to promote his film Bullet Train which was released in August. People mocked the cover saying that the actor looked like an actual “corpse”. Some even called it a “wax figure”.
Jennifer Aniston – Allure
Jennifer Aniston had nothing to hide and she made it loud and clear as she posed for the December 2022 issue of Allure magazine. For the cover, she wore a piece of fashion history, the itty-bitty Chanel logo nipplekini. The nipplekini debuted on supermodels like Eva Herzigova and Stella Tennant on the runway in 1996.
Nicole Kidman – Vanity Fair
Nicole Kidman stirred quite a controversy as she appeared on coversof Vanity Fair’s 2022 Hollywood Issue in a skimpy ensemble from Miu Miu’s much-discussed spring 2022 collection of shrunken, which was nothing but skin-baring schoolgirl staples. Many of the magazine’s readers were not at all impressed to see the actress, in a look which appeared to be plucked from Britney Spears’ “Baby One More Time” music video.
Nicole Kidman – PERFECT
Nicole Kidman faced trolling yet again when she posed for the September cover of Perfect magazine. Kidman was photographed in a never-seen-before avatar, her arms were flexed and ripped, revealing bulging biceps. She wore a choppy red wig, micro-mini Diesel skirt, and sculptural pieces.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy
Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy was named TIME Person of the Year. Time Editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal, in a tweet, said, “For proving that courage can be as contagious as fear, for stirring people to come together in defense of freedom, for reminding the world of the fragility of democracy—and of peace—Zelensky and the spirit of Ukraine are TIME’s 2022 Person of the Year.”
