The year 2022 demonstrated that a magazine cover is still a powerful tool, especially when it comes to fashion. From Brad Pitt to Zendaya, several iconic personalities turned cover stars for magazines. While some celebs were lauded for being bold as well as for their achievements, others faced some criticism for their bizarre approach. Let’s take a look at the top 10 trending magazine covers of 2022.
Brad Pitt – GQ
Brad Pitt’s shoot for GQ’s August edition sent social media into a frenzy. It featured the actor with a blank stare on his face, lying down surrounded by dark flowers. The shoot was done to promote his film Bullet Train which was released in August. People mocked the cover saying that the actor looked like an actual “corpse”. Some even called it a “wax figure”.

Nicole Kidman – Vanity Fair

Many of the magazine’s readers were not at all impressed to see the actress, in a look which appeared to be plucked from Britney Spears’ “Baby One More Time” music video.
