She was joined by the likes of Charlize Theron, Michael B Jordan and Zendaya for the historic cover.
Artists Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari directed 10 photo shoots across four continents for one of the famed magazine’s most diverse covers ever.
They used ‘modern techniques’ that allowed VF to minimize on-set personnel and maximize COVID-19 protocol.

In the past, the VF Hollywood issue tended to feature white stars such as Nicole Kidman, Harrison Ford, Tom Hanks, Reese Witherspoon and Sandra Bullock with little diversity.
But this year is very different.
Also included on the cover are Sacha Baron Cohen (The Trial of the Chicago 7, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm), Maya Rudolph (Saturday Night Live, Big Mouth), Michaela Coel, (I May Destroy You), Spike Lee (Da 5 Bloods, David Byrne’s American Utopia), LaKeith Stanfield (Judas and the Black Messiah) and Dan Levy (Schitt’s Creek).
Fashion statement: The starlet posed in head-to-toe Prada, including a purple taffeta top and pleated pants as well as a swiss cheese-looking turtleneck sweater from the brand
Awkwafina shared the stunning image on her Instagram account, revealing how grateful she was to be part of the all-star ensemble.
‘I am extremely thrilled and honored to be included in the 27th @vanityfair Hollywood issue – alongside these absolute legends. Check out the full #vfhollywood portfolio and salute to Maurizio Cattelan & Pierpaolo Ferrari for shooting this insane cover!,’ she captioned the post.

She was all smiles as she carried the final orange floral ‘O’ from the cover’s Hollywood display.
Inside the issue, the Farewell actress was seen swinging from a glistening chandelier above a stunning body of water.
‘Really trying to light up the room! Thank you @vanityfair for having me in the 27th VFHollywood issue,’ she captioned the bright image on her Instagram account.
Awkwafina kept it light in a Robert Wun gown that featured every color of the rainbow.
The star touched on forging a new path for Asian American performers.
‘You don’t want to represent swaths of people,’ she says. ‘But if there are not that many of us, then some people are going to think that what they see onscreen is what we are. That’s why the solution isn’t more of me—it’s more people who are different,’ she told the magazine.
