Oprah Winfrey is the cover star of the August 2018 issue of British Vogue. Photographed by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, the American philanthropist and global superstar wears a custom-made taffeta gown by Stella McCartney and white-and-yellow-diamond and emerald earrings by Buccellati in a regal, refined and sophisticated newsstand cover (above); while for the black and white subscribers cover (below), she channels her inner superhero. In the cover story ‘’Oprah’s Next Act’’, editor-in-chief Edward Enninful dressed Winfrey in designs from labels such as Alexander McQueen, Erdem and more.
Hair: Malcolm Edwards
Make-up: Derrick Rutledge
