Jameela Jamil and Simone Ashley are among the 40 ‘legendary women’ on British Vogue’s latest cover.

Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, Victoria Beckham, Linda Evangelista, Oprah Winfrey, Dua Lipa, and Miley Cyrus are also in the “farewell shoot” for the final issue by outgoing editor Edward Enninful.

All 40 supermodels, Hollywood stars, fashion icons, and sporting champions gathered in New York City for a “once in a lifetime” shoot with renowned photographer Steven Meisel. It is the largest number of women ever shot together for a Vogue cover. However, all the women have previously graced the front of the magazine during Enninful’s six-year tenure.

Unveiling the cover, Enninful said, “So here it is: my 76th and final edition of Vogue, six-and-a-half years and 153 cover stars later, including the 40 legendary women who feature on this cover. It has been an extraordinary ride and an absolute honour.”

She added, “As I step into my new role, as Conde Nast’s global creative and cultural advisor for Vogue, I am determined to keep championing the incredible array of voices in fashion and media and ensure we keep the energy explosion of the last few years going. We always say it, because it always needs to be said: there is a great deal yet to be done.”

Gemma Chan, Kate Moss, Cara Delevingne, Jodie Comer, Maya Jama, and Rina Sawayama are among the British stars to be featured in the diverse line-up, which also includes Serena Williams, Iman, Selma Blair, and Anya Taylor-Joy.
