The new splashy cover for a few overseas editions of Vanity Fair debuted on Monday.
And there was a treasure trove of A-list household names from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s.
The magazine featured some of the biggest supermodels the world has ever seen (somehow they managed to get iconic 60s siren Twiggy to pose).
And the ladies not only still look amazing, but they have gone on to extend their mega careers beyond the catwalk. One of the ladies runs a massive skincare company and then there is that action film star who has a tentpole franchise worth big bucks.
And they have made headlines too for the men they have been linked to: One is married to a former French president, another dated Axl Rose from Guns N’ Roses, and one starred in American Gigolo with Richard Gere (another was married to Gere for several years).
Can you name all the pretty faces?

This comes after the ladies talked about starring in George Michael‘s Freedom music video. Some surprises were revealed.
One was how Christy did not know the words to the song, another was how Cindy though her scenes were sub par.
Christy didn’t know the words before she filmed the music video for the song.
The 54-year-old model stars in the iconic video alongside, and Christy has admitted to having a last-minute panic before the cameras started rolling.
During The Super Models documentary, Christy explained: ‘My very first scene that I shot was where you just see my eyes through, like, this cutout.
‘You see my mouth, then you see my eyes, you see my mouth, you see my eyes.
‘And anytime I dip down it’s because I don’t know the words yet.
‘I’m not that great with lyrics.’

Linda also experienced something similar.
She shared: ‘When I got to the set and they wanted me to lip-sync, I didn’t know the words. I had to learn them very quickly in the trailer while they were doing my hair and make-up.’
On the other hand, Cindy remembers feeling that she had the worst part in the music video.
The 57-year-old model explained: ‘I just remember it being super dark and someone explaining to me that I was going to be in a bathtub. I was like, ‘Really?’
‘I felt like everyone else had a better part than me.’

Meanwhile, Naomi revealed that she negotiated their part in the video during a conversation in a Los Angeles nightclub.
The model recalled: ‘Basically, I’m in a nightclub in Los Angeles, The Roxbury actually on Sunset, and George is there and he comes up to me and he says, ‘So what is it that you guys want?’
‘I said, ‘We want this much money and round-trip Concorde tickets.’ He goes, ‘And that’s it?’ I said, ‘That’s it.”
This comes after Campbell has admitted she was ‘killing’ herself with drugs and alcohol.
She said: ‘If I have people in my life that I love and I see that they need help, of course I’m going to offer my help. I’m there, I’m very loyal to the people that I love.’
