Why Meghan Markle and Nicole Kidman were missing from British Vogue and Edward Enninful's final cover that 'needed almost as much planning as D-Day'


Who else but British Vogue editor-in-chief Edward Enninful could have persuaded Hollywood A-listers for what is hailed as one of the greatest magazine covers of all time.

Celebrity make-up artist Dame Pat McGrath, originally from Northampton, was in charge of the overall 'look' – described as 'natural, radiant and powerful' – while hairdresser Guido Palau, who is said to get paid up to £50,000 a day for commercials, oversaw a battalion of crimpers. Photographer Ned Rogers was tasked with taking arty black and white snaps backstage, including a poignant one of Winfrey arm-in-arm with 86-year-old Jane Fonda, who used a walking stick due to an injured foot, which was in a protective boot. Many believe Enninful – who is maintaining ties with Vogue as 'global creative and cultural adviser' while being free to take other work – has used his final issue as editor to highlight his impeccable contacts and cock a snook at his boss Dame Anna Wintour.
