Vanity Fair's 100th anniversary cover for its October issue has been unveiled, and, with Kate Upton on the cover, it definitely doesn't disappoint.
The pic, photographed by the legendary Annie Leibovitz, features Upton doing her best Marilyn Monroe impression. The shoot itself seems to have focused on mimicking iconic images from decades past in an effort to commemorate the magazine's long history: According to Vanity Fair, another image from Upton's shoot features her lounging on the moon, recreating an illustrated cover of Dress & Vanity Fair from October 1, 1913.
In his editor's letter, editor of Vanity Fair Graydon Carter explained:
None
The issue also includes some of the most iconic images from past issues, including portraits from Leibovitz, Mario Testino, and Bruce Weber, in addition to illustrations from the Jazz Age.
Vanity Fair's October issue will be on stands on September 5th in NYC and LA, and on September 10th nationwide.
