- She is the talk of the town following the release of her Netflix documentary.
And Victoria Beckham was once again front and centre as she sizzled on the cover of ELLE’s 80th anniversary edition – marking eight decades of the fashion bible.
The former pop star, 51, joined a line of 10 stars in posing for the covers including Penelope Cruz who wowed in an up-close shot.
Victoria was sure to show off her lithe legs as she sat astride a leather chair with a blazer looped over her shoulders as she glared at the camera.
The shoot comes in the wake of Victoria being a hot topic off the back of her documentary on the streaming giant – which follows her fashion empire.
Joining Victoria and Penelope are Natalie Portman, Iman, Camille Razat, Paula Echevarría, Paris Jackson, Ana Belén, Winona Ryder and Nieves Álvarez.
Victoria pulled her signature pout for the cover shot, with her hair blowing over her face while she sat in her smouldering pose with legs on show.
Penelope looked incredible in the up-close shot, in which she pulled her dark tresses over her bare shoulders while showcasing the head-scarf topped choppy fringe.
Paris looked jaw-dropping in a 70s-inspired look comprising a fur coat and crop top while her hair was worn in a shaggy style to match her hippy vibe.
Looking sleek and flashing a beaming grin, Natalie Portman wore a trench coat with a popped collar while her hair was slicked into a severe bun.
Upping the A-list content further was Winona Ryder, who looked sensational in a sheer lace shirt with a frilled collar.
Supermodel extraordinaire Iman, the widow of music legend David Bowie, pulled her flawless pout while clutching her fur stole, worn over a bold coat.
ELLE’s director Benedetta Poletti revealed she chose the women for the cover as they ‘inspire us, make us vibrate and excite us as spokespersons for our values and our desires. Ten ELLE women’.
Benedetta said of the history of the magazine: ‘It all began on November 21, 1945, in a Paris that was finally breathing airs of freedom with French women voting for the first time. At that historical moment ELLE was born…
‘A revolutionary magazine that spoke to them about them. Of the frivolous with seriousness and of the serious with irony…
‘With a close, funny, provocative tone like a conversation between friends. And with a clear mission: to train a strong, cultured and independent reader. Give them a voice, listen to their fears, boost their talent, and amplify their aspirations….
‘To encourage them to take their place in society and accompany them on their journey towards equality. Today we can proudly say that we have achieved all that, and more’.
