Radhika Jones: Vanity Fair’s Editor-n-Chief

Graydon Carter had been the editor of Vanity Fair for 25 years. When Radhika Jones took over the role of editor-in-chief, she revamped the magazine for a newer generation. Jones embraced the modern world and how life has changed since the magazine’s inception.

Out were the glitzy formal covers, and in was a more subtle, contemporary style, like a leather jacket on Idris Elba, a hoodie on Kendrick Lamar, and a sweater on Michelle Williams. Reportedly, designer Donatella Versace loved the changes, telling Jones over lunch that the Williams cover represented women “in a modern world.”
