American Beauty

Photographed by Vogue alumna Claiborne Swanson Frank, American Beauty is a tribute to the women who symbolize our country today—from Jenna Lyons to Lisa Mayock, Solange Knowles to Lily Aldridge—each of whom possesses an original blend of grit, grace, glamour, and gravitas that make them fitting exemplars of kaleidoscopic American beauty.
Featuring over 100 portraits, alongside texts by Genevieve Bahrenburg, a foreword by Vogue photography director Ivan Shaw, and a preface by author Lesley M. M. Blume, American Beauty captures today’s bright young things in a survey of quintessentially American women that echoes far beyond its pages.
