Ever since it launched way back when, Vanity Fair has never failed to raise an eyebrow — least of all for its instantly classic cover photos. The magazine now joins forces with the National Portrait Gallery to present Vanity Fair Portraits: Photographs 1913-2008, an exhibition of 150 prints depicting century-defining icons of art, politics, film and business — everyone from Cary Grant and Claude Monet to Madonna and Demi Moore. The anthology is a striking, timeless chunk of voyeuristic elegance, shot by seasoned old-schoolers like Edward Steichen and Cecil Beaton along with contemporary heavy-hitters like Annie Leibovitz and Mario Testino.
