Natalie Portman Proves Her Face Card Never Declines as Interview Magazine’s Spring 2025 Cover Star

Interview might not garner the attention it once did during the iconic magazine’s heyday. However, that still doesn’t stop Mel Ottenberg from securing the crème de la crème from the world of fashion, entertainment, and beyond as cover stars. Names like Demi Moore, Jennifer Lopez, Lily-Rose Depp, and Selena Gomez (with Benny Blanco) have covered the publication recently. Ottenberg, who was appointed editor-in-chief in 2021, secures Natalie Portman as an Interview cover star for Spring 2025. The celebrated Israeli actress appears before the lens of photographer Katja Rahlwes for the occasion. In the bold and graphic cover shot styled by Dara, Portman showcases a striped set of pajamas from the Spring 2025 Coach collection of Stuart Vevers.

“Kinda like it. The yellow pops up in a good way,” admired matheus_s upon first look.

“Natalie Portman’s face card has never declined,” mepps declared.

“Love it, love her. No notes,” enthused forum member KoV.

Yet not everyone was so forthcoming. “The cover is an eyesore. The photography is cheesy,” discredited an underwhelmed MModa.

“Forgettable as can be,” RMDV chimed in.

“The cover is an eyesore. The photography from Katja Rahlwes feels amateur, and completely lackluster. The yellow background and contrasting blue Interview masthead is what is keeping this cover from putting me to sleep,” voiced vogue28.
