Amanda Gorman Covers Harper’s Bazaar & Zoe Kravitz Opens Up To WSJ Magazine

1. Amanda Gorman Front And Center as Harper’s Bazaar brings together 21 icons for September

The Harper’s Bazaar ICONS portfolio has landed. This year’s portfolio, with photographs by John Edmonds, is led by cover stars Amanda Gorman, Florence Pugh, Bad Bunny, and Hailey Bieber who are joined in the pages by under-30 talents such as Jack Harlow, Qualeasha Wood, Oscar Yi Hou, Asha Grant, Tomi Adeyemi, Giveon, Saweetie, Emma Chamberlain, Evan Mock, Moses Sumney, Ella Emhoff, Mika Schnieder, Indya Moore, Xiye Bastida, Jadé Fadojutimi, Ziwe, and Nathan Chen.

Harper’s Bazaar had this to say about Amanda:

@amandascgorman already knows that you want her to save the world. Her recitation of “The Hill We Climb” at the 2021 inauguration made her America’s most famous poet at age 22. But “no sustainable and worthwhile future is ever built by one,” she tells @kaitlyn_greenidge_author. “It has to be built by many.”

The overall response to Gorman’s success, especially from people older than her, has been that she is a symbol of hope—a promise of something better than the division and violence in 2020. But, Gorman points out, “When my mom was growing up, she was told by the elders around her, ‘Go change the world.’ And in my generation, we’re told to go save the world. It’s completely different stakes.

Of their romance, she says, “When you make things with people it’s a very sacred space, and when you’re compatible with somebody creatively it often opens up other channels, because you’re kind of sharing all of yourself. I’m really grateful that this movie has brought him into my life that way.” Kravitz confirmed that before she even met him, she had Tatum in mind for the role. “I wanted to find someone who hadn’t played a dark character before, because I think that’s exciting to watch someone who’s mostly played boy next door, good guy, love interest, all of that…I felt, even from afar, before I knew him, that he was a feminist and that he wasn’t afraid of exploring that darkness, because he knows he’s not that. That’s why I was drawn to him and I wanted to meet with him. And I was right.” Meanwhile, Tatum told Harris, It’s always really intriguing to have someone bring you something that literally no one else has ever thought of you for.” Read the full feature here.
