's Hollywood issue is here! Mj Rodriguez, Benedict Cumberbatch, Kristen Stewart, Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Simu Liu, Idris Elba and Andrew Garfield bring their A-list charms to this year's highly-anticipated issue, which was brought to life by renowned conceptual artists Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari.«This year we wanted to celebrate people from all around the world who are celebrating cinema, driving the conversation forward, and ultimately trying to create the landscapes in the movie world that they want to be in and what they want to pave the way forward for future actors,» Britt Hennemuth, 's Senior West Coast editor, told ET.The eight solo covers, and the group pic that was created via individual shoots, were taken on eight sets, across three continents, over 28 hours, with more than a dozen armed jewelry guards, 100 gowns and 200 pairs of shoes at their disposal, making the 28th annual issue bigger and better than ever before.«We have performers from all around the world, and actually two of them, due to the spike of COVID over the holidays, were stuck in their remote countries.

They were home celebrating Christmas — Nicole Kidman in Sydney, Idris Elba in London,» Hennemuth said. «So we had to pivot in the 11th hour and sort of figure out how to still include them though we were photographing them remotely.»Chilly London didn't stop Elba from posing in a hot tub convertible for his cover.«We had PAs heating up kettles of water to fill it in,» Hennemuth revealed. «We had to get it the perfect temperature, so there wasn't smoke rising, but so he could still be comfortable.
