This year may have been an eventful (read: chaotic) one for media, but it still delivered some unforgettable magazine covers.
Aubrey Plaza went barefoot for WSJ Magazine, while Rosalía defied gravity for Highsnobiety. In fact, it was an especially fashionable year for the music industry’s shining stars: Beyoncé fronted multiple covers in her “Cowboy Carter” era, Lady Gaga channeled Mother Monster in Maison Margiela for Vogue and Troye Sivan and Charli XCX shared the spotlight for a special edition of i-D.
Of course, supermodels got some prime editorial real estate this year as well, including Anok Yai‘s bedazzled flapper-esque brows for Harper’s Bazaar, Alex Consani celebrating Interview‘s 55th anniversary with a slice of cake and Kaia Gerber bringing Marc Jacobs‘ Vogue guest-editorship to life.
