Flawlessly-executed photos have much to do with fan loyalty to the magazine’s Twilight features. The December 2008 issue featured stunning shots of the ensemble “Twilight” cast at play. In stark relief to other photo shoots of the time (which staged dimly-lit scenes, outfitted stars in pale makeup, and simulated the aura of Forks), Vanity Fair gave us sun tans and short sleeves and flushed faces of summer as the cast romped in an arid field.
The Robert Pattinson cover (December 2009) also went over well with fans. With beachfront cliffs as the backdrop and Rob in the wardrobe of a fading New England day, readers were treated to evocative shots of Rob, including one of the actor sporting a tuxedo while seated at a piano oddly placed in a seafront field. Another fan favorite: Rob lounging in a chair reading a copy of a book called “Sex-Driven People”.
Other covers and features have included Kristen Stewart and Anna Kendrick (most recently as part of a March 2010 cover shared with other up and coming Hollywood women). Vanity Fair has also maintained ongoing coverage of the Twilight brood through its online outlets—VF Daily and affiliate blog Little Gold Men.
Now, this is effing exciting! Please be true...
