What do Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears, Laila Ali, Cindy Crawford, Eva Herzigova, and Demi Moore all have in common? High-profile magazine covers for the likes of W Magazine, Vanity Fair and Bazaar shot celebrating their lives’ greatest achievements: Motherhood.
Angelina Jolie’s spread in the November issue of W Magazine is one that is likely to raise a few eyebrows. According to Life & Style, one of the images for W Magazine features Angelina Jolie breastfeeding her youngest children, Knox and Vivienne.
Angelina Jolie’s spread for W Magazine isn’t the first celebrity mom photo shoot to spark controversy, however. Back in 1991, Demi Moore incited a firestorm when she posed nude for Vanity Fair while she was seven months pregnant with her daughter Scout.
The November issue of W Magazine that features Angelina Jolie’s controversial photo shoot is set to hit newsstands on October 21.
