For the second year in a row, the Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue cover is celebrating the most compelling, powerful, and talented women in the business—among them are three of this year’s best-actress Oscar nominees, two of the most preternaturally gifted child actresses in movie history who are now all grown up, and a Grammy winner who has revealed herself to be a phenomenal acting talent, too.

Oscar winners Natalie Portman and Lupita Nyong’o, five-time nominee Amy Adams, and two-time nominee Emma Stone lead the group, all photographed by Annie Leibovitz. Portman and Stone, along with fellow cover star Ruth Negga, are all among the best-actress nominees at this year’s Academy Awards. The full lineup of actresses also includes Elle Fanning, Dakota Fanning, Dakota Johnson, Greta Gerwig, Aja Naomi King, and Janelle Monáe. See the cover image in high-res here.

All had stellar contributions to film in 2017. Portman gave yet another riveting lead performance as First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy in the immediate wake of John F. Kennedy’s assassination in the unconventional biopic Jackie. Nyong’o starred in that Hollywood rarity—a movie directed by and about a woman of color—with Queen of Katwe. Adams led a formidable double-header of Arrival and Nocturnal Animals, two wildly different films anchored by her inimitable screen presence. Stone re-united with Ryan Gosling for their third and most spectacular pairing in La La Land, an old-school singing-and-dancing extravaganza that put her triple-threat talents on display.

Negga enjoyed the kind of breakthrough year actresses dream of, appearing first on AMC’s Preacher and then in the quiet biographical drama Loving, for which she earned an Oscar nomination. Elle Fanning appeared in three films: The Neon Demon, Live by Night, and the Oscar-nominated 20th Century Woman. Dakota Fanning was part of Ewan McGregor’s debut directorial feature, the Philip Roth adaptation American Pastoral. Dakota Johnson, Hollywood royalty recently photographed by Vanity Fair alongside her mother, Melanie Griffith, and grandmother Tippi Hedren, was an electrifying presence in Luca Guadagnino’s Italy-set drama A Bigger Splash. Greta Gerwig worked with two of her fellow cover stars, playing Mrs. Kennedy’s aide in Jackie alongside Portman and joining the luminous ensemble of 20th Century Women. King, a breakout star of ABC’s hit How to Get Away with Murder, revealed a whole new level of her talents in the Nat Turner biopic The Birth of a Nation. And Monáe, already a global pop star, turned in two eye-catching supporting performances in Moonlight and Hidden Figures, both of them now best-picture Oscar nominees.

This is also the second year that the Hollywood Portfolio inside the magazine features the same subjects featured on the cover, with an essay by Vanity Fair contributing writer James Wolcott detailing the actresses and their contributions to the industry at large.

The Hollywood Issue of Vanity Fair is available on newsstands in New York and Los Angeles, and on the iPhone, Kindle, and other devices, on Thursday, February 2, and nationally on Tuesday, February 7.
