When the Oscars are on the horizon, Vanity Fair always releases its Hollywood issue. For its 29th annual edition, the magazine captured 12 young actors whom they call “the stars of today and tomorrow.” From Little Women‘s Florence Pugh to Only Muders in the Building‘s Selena Gomez, these fashionable portraits paint a picture of who our next generation of talent will be.

American photographer Steven Klein was the artist behind the camera for this issue, snapping shots of the celebrities in groups and individually. “This dynamic dozen have captivated us with full-tilt portrayals of icons, heroes, villains, dukes, boxers, brooding chefs, and more,” Vanity Fair writes. “Now, first-time Hollywood cover stars Selena Gomez, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh, Ana de Armas, Jonathan Majors, Keke Palmer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Julia Garner, Regé-Jean Page, Emma Corrin, Hoyeon Jung, and Jeremy Allen White are gathered for the after-party of our dreams—and dazzling us with their late night party tricks.”

Each solo portrait features the star in fashionable attire they would wear on a night out. Then, in a series of short videos, the actors share some of their talents. Pugh, for instance, shows how she can step through a broom; Gomez divulges her family's favorite party snack; and Butler demonstrates how to make a napkin rose.

The lengthy issue also includes interviews with each of the stars, each of whom talks about their life and career and some of the struggles that have come with their success, as well as some of the things they hope to attain in the future. “There are so many stories to be told. Asian actors are prepared,” Squid Game actor Hoyeon says. Others, like Butler and Gomez, discuss the pressure that comes with fame, especially with social media.
