In May 1999, Natalie Portman was on the cover of Vanity Fair and still deciding between Harvard and Hollywood. 16 years later, she has returned to the campus as an alumna, an Oscar winner, and the keynote speaker at the prestigious University's Senior Class Day ceremony.

LEWIS HAMILTON — ADRIENNE RAQUEL

She may be the highest-paid actress in the world, but Jennifer Lawrence has had a tough year: an emergency landing, a romantic breakup, and her (reluctant) first nude scene, for this month’s Red Sparrow. It all has her looking to the next phase in her career—and life.

The actress, 39, looks stunning in new photos from a Vanity Fair cover story, where she spilled on self-care, reinventing herself, and breaking barriers in Hollywood. See the shots here!

The whole world watched as her “perfect” marriage fell apart. Only her closest friends knew what really happened. Now, in Jennifer Aniston’s first interview since she split from Brad Pitt, she spills her heart, and some tears, to Vanity Fair, sharing her shock and confusion over Pitt’s liaison with Angelina Jolie, her desire for a family, and her deep, conflicting emotions (anger, hurt, exasperation, tenderness) toward the man she still loves.
