Bradley and Ben make sense but Emma hasn't had anything relevant since the Help 18 months ago. Plus she has been on cover of Hollywood issue before. Eddie is a rising name and fits. Why is Halle there again? Is that some old unused photo they decided to slip into the issue due to budget cuts? Little Q looks cute, should have been on the cover (albeit the setting would have had to be different...) Olivia Wilde was been there before, I believe and still isn't anymore relevant than 2 years ago. Does her agent have compromising photos of VF editor or what? Bella and Jonah would have made much more sense year ago than now.
As someone mentioned before, the best part of Hollywood issue is when you get the young rising stars and you can look at the cover couple of years later and see who made it. The order in which they are positioned (cover, slip 1, slip 2) is also interesting record of what they relative stardom rankings were at the time. Besides, it's always fun to speculate in advance who's going to make it since they always include a collection of current awards favourites, popular it girls and actresses with upcoming roles in baity projects and blockbusters. If they had done it as the young Hollywood issue, my personal lineup in no particular order would have been Wallis, Greta Gerwig, Rinko Kikuchi, Shailene Woodley, Lawrence (if she hadn't got the solo cover), Alicia Vikander, Alice Englert, Hailee Steinfeld, Chloe Moretz and Elle Fanning.
