Jennifer Lawrence on the cover!

For the past 15 years, to salute our favorite cinematic performances, W has commissioned indelible portraits of standout actors. This time around, our photographer, Tyrone Lebon, had a more elaborate plan: He decided to create his own movie, and at the same time capture key moments of the production with still photographs.

On a huge soundstage, over four days, Lebon and his team shot Hollywood’s biggest stars in scenes and costumes they hadn’t imagined. The idea was to pay tribute to the process of filmmaking, focusing as much on what happens behind the scenes as on the finished reel.

W is an American fashion magazine that was launched in 1972 as a sister publication to Women's Wear Daily. W began as a biweekly spin-off of Women's Wear Daily.
