What do Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears, Laila Ali, Cindy Crawford, Eva Herzigova, and Demi Moore all have in common? High-profile magazine covers for the likes of W Magazine, Vanity Fair and Bazaar shot celebrating their lives’ greatest achievements: Motherhood.

Angelina Jolie’s spread in the November issue of W Magazine is one that is likely to raise a few eyebrows. According to Life & Style, one of the images for W Magazine features Angelina Jolie [breastfeeding her youngest children](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flow-nipple-shield), Knox and Vivienne.

Angelina Jolie’s spread for W Magazine isn’t the first [celebrity mom photo shoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strong-like-mom) to spark controversy, however.

The November issue of W Magazine that features Angelina Jolie’s controversial photo shoot is set to hit newsstands on October 21.
