We’ve become fairly accustomed to seeing A-list talent splashed across the cover of W Magazine. The American magazine’s annual Best Performances issue is here for 2025. Naturally, Sara Moonves (who has served as editor-in-chief since 2019) ushers in some of Hollywood’s finest onto a selection of covers. Mooves drops her usual go-to of Juergen Teller in favor of Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott for 2025. This year’s W Magazine Best Performances installment sees Selena Gomez, Zendaya, Angelina Jolie, Ariana Grande, Nicole Kidman, Cynthia Erivo, Demi Moore, Tilda Swinton, Saoirse Ronan, Zoe Saldana, Mia Goth, Daniel Craig, Paul Mescal, Colman Domingo, Kingsley Ben-Adir, and Adrien Body front a total of 16 covers.

“Honestly this is outstanding, from the covers reminiscent of 90s and 00s W, the rooster of stars is top level. I need to buy at least seven covers,” ReneSanchez raved.
“Strong covers all around,” Marc10 applauded.
“An instant classic issue. A near perfect portrayal of the actors by W Magazine in a LONG time. I will be picking up my first W in years,” declared GERGIN.
