Change is in the air at Vanity Fair HQ. Back in April, it was reported that Radhika Jones was to step down as editor-in-chief, following a 7-year tenure. In June, Condé Nast announced that Mark Guiducci (formerly of Vogue) was to become the title’s first-ever global editorial director, ultimately succeeding Jones at the top job. The publication powers on through the change and brings out the big guns for September 2025, ushering in none other than Jennifer Aniston on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine this month. The Hollywood icon, founder of the award-winning hair care brand LolaVie, and star of The Morning Show dials up the glamour in the elegant cover shot, captured by Norman Jean Roy. The last time Jennifer Aniston covered Vanity Fair was for September 2005. Twenty years later, with her back against the camera, Aniston is dressed by cover shoot stylist Paul Cavaco in a floor-length Valentino creation designed by Alessandro Michele.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Very beautiful and very different,” instantly admired Kite upon checking out the cover.
“Absolutely stunning! Love everything about the cover,” MModa praised.
Also very much a fan was vogue28. “I love it! Always nice to see Jennifer Aniston, who I have always thought photographs beautifully and seems to excel during these fashion shoots. The cover itself is gorgeous. I love the choice of the back-facing cover image, which shows off the dress beautifully,” he noted.
“Finally, Paul Cavaco! He did such a beautiful job for US Vogue. I hope we see more of him often,” championed forum member Ivanity86.
Not everyone, however, was so forthcoming. “She is really not photogenic,” Avonlea critiqued.
“The Photoshop on her is INSANE. Absolutely atrocious. I have never, and will never understand the appeal of this bland woman,” chined in mepps.
