This issue is particularly special as it marks the [100th anniversary](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-of-a-lady-1) of the Condé Nast publication. As people turn to Vanity Fair for fashion, pop culture and current events, its audience is quite broad but definitely intelligent and style-savvy. To make this particular magazine cover even more stunning than the rest, the publication decided to use gorgeous Kate Upton. The cover is definitely sultry and will grab people’s attention. The model is shown against a deep evergreen backdrop with rich gold lettering. To maintain a seductive appeal, Kate Upton is shown looking like the [iconic Marilyn Monroe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign), as she beautifully pulls off the perfect curls. Modelling in a one-piece, she always carries a birthday cake, which represents Monroe’s ‘Happy Birthday Mr. President.’ ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 100% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Print](https://www.trendhunter.com/print) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Anniversary-themed Magazine Covers:** There is an opportunity for magazines to create special edition covers that commemorate significant milestones and attract attention. - **Iconic Celebrity Homage:** Celebrity magazines can tap into nostalgia by featuring current stars recreating iconic moments from the past, capturing the interest of readers. - **Sultry and Seductive Magazine Covers:** Magazines can aim to draw attention with covers that are provocative and visually striking to captivate their audience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Publishing:** Publishing companies can capitalize on the trend of anniversary-themed magazine covers to drive sales and engage readers with special editions. - **Fashion and Entertainment:** Fashion and entertainment industries can collaborate with magazines to recreate iconic moments and generate buzz around celebrity homages. - **Advertising and Design:** Advertising and design agencies can help create visually stunning and seductive magazine covers that grab people's attention and reflect the brand's image. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic NFT Magazines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vogue-singapore-magazine.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Nostalgic Winter Intimates Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skims-holiday-campaign.md) - [Celebrity Swimwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swim-line.md) - [Socially Impactful NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nft-collection2.md) - [Vintage Glamour Lipsticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hollywood-beauty-icon-lipsticks.md) - [Collaborative Retailer Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/target-collection.md) - [Whimsical Patterned Diverse Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kate-spade-and-target.md) - [Iconic Anniversary Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-of-a-lady-1.md)
