My Favorite Cover

Favorite 

#32 Vogue (May 2004)
Photographer Irving Penn captures Nicole Kidman's back profile dressed in a Christian Lacroix oyster satin backless dress for this cover of the May 2004 issue of Vogue. This was the first cover shoot for Vogue by Penn since 1989. The issue contains more photographs of Kidman dressed as a Grecian goddess, an Italian diva and as legendary actress Sarah Bernhardt.

This portrait is very elegant.
Also very focused on the image, just her.
The lighting causes her to stand out from the dark background.
