Vanity Fair is a monthly magazine of popular culture, fashion, and current affairs published by Condé Nast in the United States. The first version of Vanity Fair was published from 1913 to 1936. The imprint was revived in 1983 and currently includes five international editions of the magazine.
Nobody knows more about star power than Vanity Fair. Each issue brings you high-profile interviews, breathtaking photography, and thought-provoking features on the world’s most engaging people, places and personalities. Plus, you’ll also receive must-see special issues like the Hollywood issue and the Best-Dressed issue. Vanity Fair sparks the global conversation about the people and ideas that matter most.
Vanity Fair magazine is one of the leading general interest publications available today. Written for the reader who appreciates expert storytelling and dynamic articles that sometimes spark a debate, the periodical covers a wide range of topics such as fashion, politics, travel, business, design, and more. Originally published briefly in 1913 and combined with Vogue magazine in 1936, the magazine as it appears today was revived in 1983.
Vanity Fair magazine attracts many award-winning journalists and photographers who contribute articles on a regular basis. The publication prides itself on featuring sophisticated content with bold photos that enhance what each author strives to convey. Recent topics include lavish holiday gifts for pets, fashion knockoffs, similarities between American and British humor, a look inside the New York City Ballet, and a guide to Cannes and the French Riviera.
Vanity Fair magazine is well-known for its social commentary and in-depth reporting. If you enjoy keeping up with Hollywood stars like Kristen Stewart, Julia Roberts, and Alec Baldwin, then this is the publication to turn to. Many times, it’s Vanity Fair that scoops the competition and publishes a story before anyone else. Controversial topics from past issues include the scandalous photo shoot featuring Miley Cyrus, the Roman Polanski libel case, and the 2006 Lindsay Lohan interview in which the actress openly admitted using drugs.

There are currently five international editions of Vanity Fair being published; namely in the United Kingdom (since 1991), Italy (since 2003, ISSN 1723–6673), Spain (since 2008), France (since 2013), and Mexico (since 2015), with the Italian version published weekly.

Vanity Fair Germany launched in February 2007 at a cost of €50 million, then the most expensive new magazine in Germany in years and Condé Nast’s biggest investment outside the United States. A French version started in June 2013. The Spanish version of the magazine was first published in Spain in 2008 and it has been published monthly.
Events
As a successor to a similar invitation-only event annually held by the late agent Irving Paul Lazar, the first Vanity Fair Oscar Party took place in 1994. During its first years, the magazine’s Oscar party was co-hosted by producer Steve Tisch at Morton’s in West Hollywood. At first, editor Graydon Carter kept the invitation list small, at around 120 for dinner. Between 2009 and 2013, the party was held at Sunset Tower. The 2014 edition took place in a temporary, 12,000-square-foot glass-walled structure at 8680 Sunset Boulevard. Vanity Fair makes a limited number of invitations available each year for charity. In recent years, Vanity Fair and Bloomberg hosted an after-party at the French ambassador’s house following the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.
