Guest from the ’50s, which personified privilege, the concept of the cover image was to replace the conventional idea of white society with one of a Black couple living a similarly extravagant lifestyle. “The visuals matter,” said Zendaya’s longtime stylist Law Roach, who styled the shoot alongside Samantha McMillen. “The way change happens is when people can see wealth and grandeur in a way that they are not used to seeing it.” {W Magazine
