Werk, Serena!
The concept of the shoot was to showcase women of all fields in their au naturale glory.
Other notables in the calendar include comedian Amy Schumer, Actress Yao Chen– the first Chinese Ambassador to UNCHR Goodwill and singer Patti Smith.
The portraits show the complexity of womanhood with dignity and admiration. The photographer, Annie Leibovitz is a frequent contributor to Vanity Fair (she even shot Caitlyn Jenner’s iconic cover photo).
