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.

Lara Stone Graces The Edit December 2016 Photographed by Boo George

 “WE DIDN’T EVEN HAVE TRAFFIC LIGHTS where I grew up, Mierlo [in south Holland]. It’s about 10,000 people. It’s a great place to be a kid, quiet and safe. I was always running out the door to play outside. My mum was just like, ‘Be back when it’s dark.’ It was that kind of childhood. Not so great when you’re a teenager. Like, ‘Why are we living here? It’s so boring.’ I appreciate it now, when I go with my son [Alfred, 3, with ex-husband David Walliams]. I love going with him; all that freedom and peace.”

 “I WAS A DIFFICULT TEENAGER. I had lots of trouble with school, just general teenager troublemaking, but they kept threatening to expel me. I was a handful. So, in the end, when I was 16, my mum took me out of school and I moved to Paris.”

“I WAS SCOUTED WHEN I WAS 13 OR 14. We were on a big family holiday to Paris when I was spotted on the Métro by a lady who was the wife of an agent at Elite. It was the most confusing thing ever – I was definitely not attractive. I was a geeky teenager; awkward and thin and lanky and weird. And I had strange teeth. At school, they used to tease me: ‘As if you’re a model!’ They called me Skeleton. Being a model was the furthest thing from my mind, ever. I’m still not sure I’m entirely qualified.” Check out More

 "I want to create opportunities for other people of color because I'm fortunate enough to have a platform to do that. That is why Eclipsed and even Queen of Katwe are so important, to change the narrative, offer a new lens on African identity," she said to Vogue.

In her new movie, Queen of Katwe, Lupita Nyong’o brings her talent and brilliance to a story from her native East Africa. To celebrate, she takes Vogue—and the most glorious prints of the season—to her family’s village in Kenya. Check out www.vogue.com

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.
