W Magazine is kicking off the new year with its annual Best Performances Issue, which hits stands on February 13, 2024.
The highly anticipated Best Performances portfolio is an annual feature curated by W’s editor-at-large Lynn Hirschberg and highlights stars at the forefront of cinema, from industry legends and icons to those whose phenomenal talent is ushering in a new wave of stardom.
Paying tribute to the actors and stories that left us in awe over the past year, this year’s Best Performance issue features Natalie Portman, Julianne Moore, Colman Domingo, Greta Lee, Ryan Gosling, Robert Downey Jr., Lily Gladstone, Nicolas Cage, Charles Melton, Zac Efron, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Jodie Foster, and Margot Robbie across thirteen unique covers photographed by Juergen Teller and styled by W Magazine’s Editor-in-Chief, Sara Moonves.
For this issue, W took 28 actors out on Hollywood Boulevard, where the stars shine from the sidewalk. The fantastic portfolio cast posed alongside cyborgs, sci-fi characters, and assorted film memorabilia; they also jumped into bushes and sprawled on leopard-print sofas. Like the year in films, these photos are a salute to reality, but with a joyous twist.
