Famous Leibovitz photos
- Linda Ronstadt in a red slip,on her bed, reaching for a glass of water in a 1976 cover story for Rolling Stone magazine. Ronstadt's comments about the notorious photoshoot predated Miley Cyrus's similar comments by thirty-two years. Apparently there were no hard feelings since Leibovitz shot Ronstadt for a 1980 Rolling Stone cover as well.
- Demi Moore has been the subject of two highly publicized covers taken by Leibovitz. Vanity Fair featured a nude Moore who, at the time, was seven months pregnant with her daughter Scout LaRue. Moore also appeared later on the cover of the same magazine nude with a suit painted on her body.[2]
- Brooke Shields, pregnant for the cover of Vogue in April 2003. This is the first image of a visibly pregnant woman on its cover. Ironic, since Shields also holds the record for the magazine's youngest cover model. She was fourteen when Richard Avedon shot her first cover in 1980.
- Whoopi Goldberg lying in a bathtub full of milk, shot from above.[3]
- Christo, fully wrapped so the viewer must take the artist's word that Christo is actually under the wrapping.[4]
- David Cassidy on the infamous Rolling Stone cover depicting him naked from his head to above his crotch. This sparked much controversy.
- Dolly Parton vamping for the camera while Arnold Schwarzenegger flexes his biceps behind her.
- Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, as The Blues Brothers, with their faces painted blue.[5]
- Queen Elizabeth on occasion of her state visit in United States in 2007.[6]
- Sting in the desert, covered in mud to blend in with the scenery.[7]
- Closeup portrait of Pete Townshend framed by his bleeding hand dripping real blood down the side of his face.
- "Fire" portrait and caption "Patti Smith Catches Fire". [22][23]
- Cyndi Lauper, She's So Unusual and True Colors album covers
- Bruce Springsteen, Born in the U.S.A. album cover.
- Gisele Bündchen and LeBron James on the April 2008 cover of Vogue America. That was the third American Vogue's issue with a cover featured by a man and the first time, specifically, with a black man. The cover caused racially-charged controversy due to its resemblance to a King Kong film poster. [24] [25]
- Miley Cyrus' Vanity Fair photo in which the young star looked topless, thus leading to a scandal.
