Ava DuVernay by Paola Kudacki for ELLE Magazine’s Women In Hollywood Issue

Selma director Ava DuVernay lands one of eleven covers for ELLE magazine’s Women In Hollywood issue! Other cover stars include Salma Hayek, Amy Schumer and Kate Winslet. In response to her gorgeous cover, DuVernay tweeted a few words of inspiration, simply saying: “Representing for the women behind the scenes. And the sisters. And the naturalistas.”

Werk! Definitely one of my favorite covers this year.
