LOS ANGELES Stars celebrate Vanity Fair cover with Lena Waithe

-

Vanity Fair has made waves with its covers before. But never has the reaction been so positive. On Thursday, the magazine shared its April cover star: “Ready Player One” actress, “The Chi” creator and “Master of None” Emmy winner Lena Waithe. Twitter celebrated. The decision to feature a Hollywood up-and-comer and queer person of colour on the cover, was made by new VF editor Radhika Jones. “When I thought about the kind of person I’d like to see on the cover of Vanity Fair, I thought about Lena Waithe - a member of the new creative elite remaking entertainm­ent for her generation,” Jones wrote. And Waithe, herself, tweeted love to all.
