The cover of the 2012 Vanity Fair Hollywood issue is a luxurious 1920s-inspired image featuring 11 up-and-coming actresses. The cover shoot for the annual issue was photographed by the [famous Mario Testino](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-2025-campaign) for the first time ever. The cover features Rooney Mara, Elizabeth Olsen, Jennifer Lawrence and Jessica Chastain, as well as Mia Wasikowska and Lily Collins.

The ethereal images are a pastel dream, the whimsy of which is complemented by the extreme stylized nature of each young lady's look. The [flapper-inspired shoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chinese-golden-age-models) was styled by Vanity Fair's fashion director Jessica Diehl, who succeeded in creating an [art deco-like fantasy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tiger). The icy look of the gowns is a sultry introduction to what viewers may see a lot more of, given the impending release of The Great Gatsby in December 2012.
