Vanity Fair has revealed their tri-fold cover for their Young Hollywood issue as seen above (click for a larger version) and the first thing everyone is going to shout about is how white and thin all the actresses featured are. Zoe Saldana, Gabourey Sidibe or perhaps even Freida Pinto are names most people will shout from the rooftops, “What about women of color?!?!?”
In all honesty, of the group the only names I see as truly belonging are Cornish, Mulligan, Hall, Wasikowska and Kendrick, the others are just filler or have already been featured on such lists for some time now. Stewart and Seyfried were featured on a Vanity Fair cover labeling “Hollywood’s Next Wave” in August 2008 so I have a hard time considering them “new” Hollywood. Of course, Saldana was featured in the 2008 issue so I guess there are “outs” everywhere.
Pushing aside any problems you may have with the color of the actresses’ skin or their weight, tell me, what names should be added here? Of those pictured above, who do you see making a serious name for themselves and who is simply lucky to be featured? You can get a detailed look at the spread right here.
