• Wintour discussed the decision to use the more informal photo. She believed that the image represented the state of our society better. “We are in the midst…of the most appalling pandemic that is taking lives by the minute, and we felt to reflect this tragic moment in global history, a much less formal picture, something that was very, very accessible, and approachable, and really reflected the hallmark of the Biden-Harris campaign.”

The new cover is now available, released on inauguration day. Harris will be the first female and the first person of color sworn in as vice-president.
