Female Celebrity Retrospectives

'The Vanity Fair Spotlights: Women' Special Edition Flashback

Vanity Fair Magazine has a tradition of tapping into its rather extensive archives for the purpose of putting together photo retrospectives of the many celebrities and personalities that have graced its pages throughout the years.

Dubbed “The Vanity Fair Spotlights: Women," this fabulous look into the past puts us in contact with a number of glamorous A-Listers including a jaw-dropping Gisele Bundchen captured riding a white horse in the nude, the sultry and beguiling Scarlett Johansson sitting along the rocky banks of Pfeiffer Beach, and an ultra sexy Jessica Biel rocking a super tight mini dress.
