Madonna For Harper’s Bazaar US Magazine February 2017 Photographed by Luigi & Iango

Madonna lands Harper’s Bazaar Us Magazine’s 150th anniversary special. On the Cover Madonna wears a Gucci gown; Madonna's own snake bracelet; Bulgari bracelet; Tiffany & Co. bracelet; Fallon ring; Loree Rodkin ring (on pinky finger); Lynn Ban ring (on index finger). She is photographed by Luigi & Iango.  She speaks to Roxane Gay about issues ranging from politics to what motivates her. Here is an excert from the Interview with the pop icon

Roxane Gay: As an artist, whether it's in film or music or writing, do you think your work is political?

Madonna: Completely.

Roxane Gay: How so?

Madonna: Because I'm political. I believe in freedom of expression, I don't believe in censorship. I believe in equal rights for all people. And I believe women should own their sexuality and sexual expression. I don't believe there's a certain age where you can't say and feel and be who you want to be. All you have to do is look at my career—from my Sex book to the songs I've written, kissing a black saint in my "Like a Prayer" video, the themes I explored on my Erotica album. As I get older and I get better at writing and expressing myself, then you get into my American Life era, and I start talking about politics and government and how fucked our country's politics are, and the illusion of fame and Hollywood and the beautiful people.

Patrick Dempsey Covers Manhattan Magazine October 2014

On his first audition for ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ with creator Shonda Rhimes: “At first I thought [Shonda] hated me, but she was calculating in her head where to put me and what I’d be right for…they liked me, but they wanted me to do a chemistry read with [lead actress Ellen Pompeo]. I had an immediate connection with her because she has a Boston accent, and I’m from Maine, so that disarmed me.”

On his love of racing and his wife Jillian sharing his passion: “I think she kind of wishes she hadn’t allowed me to start racing because it’s become a full-time business and occupation outside of, and on top of, everything else I’m doing. She got the new Porsche 911 Targa as an anniversary present and now says, ‘I completely understand why you love cars and the rush of it!’ If you’re in a performance car there’s definitely a sensation that you get that is indescribable.”

Penelope Cruz for Esquire US Magazine 'Sexiest Woman Alive' November 2014

Brad Pitt for Details Magazine November 2014

On his love for the outdoors: "I will always be most comfortable in the outdoors. I grew up in the Ozarks—something resembling Mark Twain country. The woods, rivers, bluffs, lakes, and caves have all left an indelible mark on me. And I'm quite reverential when it comes to a tree. On my forearm, I had tattooed '94.9m (311.4ft)'—the height of the largest sequoia."

On his passion for bikes and motorcycles: "I first rode at age 7 on my cousin's Honda Mini Trail 50. I tried to jump it and ran it into my grandmother's car. He was severely pissed off. My first bike was a Kawi 150 enduro. I won it at age 12 in a contest for selling the most pecan log rolls door to door after school. I crashed it four weeks later."

“I try to carve out time for a solo ride in every country I travel to, from the Highlands of Scotland to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco to the belly of India. I haven’t even come close to fulfilling my list—yet. . . . But, in the traffic of L.A. with a helmet on, I’m just another asshole on the road.”

Kristen Stewart Graces Elle Magazine's September 2014

 

Kristen Stewart gets locked up in Chanel for the cover of Elle magazine’s September 2014 fashion issue, on newsstands nationwide August 19.

On her growing career: “Never at any point have I sat down and plotted how I should proceed from here on. As soon as you start thinking about your career as a trajectory—like, as if you’re going to miss out on some wave or momentum—then you’re never doing anything for yourself anyway. Then you’re truly, actually, specifically working for the public. You’re turning yourself into a bag of chips.”

Lupita Nyong'o on Elle France Magazine August 2014.

The lovely Lupita Nyong'o lands herself yet another magazine cover, and this time, she's facing the fashion world sunny side up.

The Oscar-winner wows in a canary yellow, asymmetric Giambattista Valli Haute Couture gown on the cover of Elle France's summer issue. The spread deems the 31-year-old '12 Years a Slave' actress a "superstar," and inside, she opens up about her remarkable year.

Beyond her breakthrough success, Lupita's also graced Vogue's July cover, and has been named the latest face of Lancome.

Next up, the Yale alum will appear in "Star Wars: Episode VII," and lend her vocal talents to "The Jungle Book" opposite Scarlett Johansson and Idris Elba.

Lupita Nyong'o and Her First Cover of Vogue

In little more than a year, Lupita Nyong’o has made the leap from serious student to Oscar-winning actress and head-turning fashion star. Hamish Bowles catches up with Hollywood’s newest golden girl.

Marrakech in May is unseasonably tagine-hot. Hapless tourists are being felled by sunstroke merely from sauntering across the city’s pulsing medina square, which is all but abandoned by the native food and trinket traders, snake-charmers, and storytellers who will throng it in the desert cool of evening.

But in the oasis sanctuary of the Ksar Char-Bagh, all is balmy dolce far niente. A luxe spa hostelry built in imitation of a castle-like fort in the middle of the Palmeraie, it has crenellated towers that hide a private dipping pool and afford views down to a central marbled courtyard modeled on Granada’s Moorish Alhambra, and across the palm groves to the distant Atlas Mountains. Guests are lounging poolside in the shade of an allée of date palms, seemingly oblivious of the Academy Award–winning deity in their midst, who is the focus of the Vogue cover shoot in full fluster around them.

Lupita Nyong'o Is PEOPLE's Most Beautiful 2014

Lupita Nyong'o has added yet another crown to her successful awards season that ended with her bagging an Oscar for best supporting Actress in the movie 12 Years a Slave.  After landing a contract with Lancôme Paris to be its brand ambassador, Lupita was recently named PEOPLE'S Magazine's most beautiful Woman.

"It was exciting and just a major, major compliment," the 31-year-old says of gracing this year's cover. And especially, "I was happy for all the girls who would see me on [it] and feel a little more seen."

Born in Mexico and raised in Kenya, Nyong'o first equated beauty with what she saw on television: "Light skin and long, flowing, straight hair," she says. "Subconsciously you start to appreciate those things more than what you possess." 

Her mother, Dorothy, who is the managing director and head of PR for the Africa Cancer Foundation, "always said I was beautiful," Nyong'o adds. "And I finally believed her at some point."

Truly an inspiration to many that hard work, humbleness and a dream can make the world to know who you are and reward you for your efforts. You go girl! You make us and the world proud of your achievements!

Naomi Campbell for Shape Magazine April 2014

Naomi Campbell shows off her age-defying figure in a swimsuit on the cover of Shape magazine’s April 2014 issue.

On covering magazines: “I've been on almost every magazine in existence, but this is my first time posing for Shape, and I’m thrilled. Of course, I wish I had done it when I was younger, but it’s an honor to be here at any age ”Every cover I got, I fought for. No’s don’t deter me—they make me more determined.”

On quitting smoking: “People told me that cigarettes are harder to quit than alcohol. I didn’t believe it, but you know what? It is harder. I’m not someone who wants to light up inside people’s homes, including my own, and I don’t want to stand outside on street corners anymore. It’s still a struggle. In fact, just talking about it makes me crave one, so let’s stop, please! But I am really trying.”

On foods she eats and stays away from: “I don’t eat fish, pork or tuna or any other fish that eats another fish because of mercury. I like spicy foods. I put chili spice on everything!”

Pharrell Williams for GQ US April 2014

On Hillary Clinton being the next president of the US: “Let me tell you why Hillary’s going to win. Everywhere you go in this country, you have red and blue. You got the Democrats; you got the Republicans. You got the Bloods; you got the Crips. You know what else is red and blue? Blood. Blood is blue in your body until air hits it, and then it turns red. That means there’s unity. There’s gonna be unity. So when you think about a night where there’s late-night talk-show hosts and it’s mostly women, that’s a different world. Right? A world where 75 percent of the prime ministers and the presidents were women: that’s a different world. That’s gonna happen, and it’s gonna happen when Hillary wins.

 Because you know what? No matter how staunch of a supporter you are of no-abortion, whatever you are: you’re a woman, and there’s no way in the world you’re going to vote for somebody that’s going to try to tell you what to do with your body. Hillary’s gonna win. Listen, I’m reaching out to her right now. She’s gonna win.”

Jared Leto for Evening Standard Deluxe March 2014

On whether he cares much about Hollywood accolades: ‘I don’t. But I would never say, “I don’t give a sh*t about the Oscars,” because it’s not the whole truth. It’s not about the shiny, naked golden man, or the pat on the back, it’s about being able to stand on a world stage for two minutes in front of a billion people and say something that is meaningful, important to you.’

On losing a lot of weight for Dallas Buyers Club: ‘I have very strong self-control. There is something very seductive about it,’ he admits when we discuss his crash, three-stone weight loss for Rayon, during which the slight actor virtually stopped eating. (He used to go to the supermarket just to stare at the food.) ‘I got to understand the mentality of an eating disorder. There are the highs of losing more weight; there’s a rush of endorphins associated with that control. When you have made a severe commitment to losing weight, there is a lot of shame and guilt around eating again. I really suffered that, it’s not a nice feeling...’ But Leto found solace in self-exploration. ‘The process can be very monk-like — there is a history of people who have fasted to achieve enlightenment. There is something in that, getting to know who you are. It changed me.’

Katy Perry for GQ US February 2014

It’s been six years since Katy Perry announced herself with “I Kissed a Girl,” which became her first hit single (and somehow made Chapstick sexy). Ever since, her immense popularity has stemmed largely from her ability to straddle that divide between Madonna (one of her idols) and girl next door. Far more wholesome than that twisted genius Lady Gaga, Perry still exudes vastly more heat and sensuality than, say, Taylor Swift. Part of that’s due to Perry’s top-heavy physicality, but her sly lyrics and full-throated delivery deserve credit, too.

In her music, all of which she co-writes, she handily mixes innocence with lust. She wants to be your homecoming queen and made her mark singing about reading Seventeen and learning how to shave her legs. But she also yearns to melt your Popsicle and see your peacock, cock, cock. When you add in God—she was raised Pentecostal and once recorded on a Christian label—things get even more complicated.
