Most celebrities have incredibly busy schedules, so getting a bunch of them in one room is no easy feat.

It’s a challenge, but it’s not impossible—as Vogue recently showed us.

For their March 2024 cover, the prestigious fashion magazine managed to gather a whole host of famous faces in one room for a photoshoot.

Some of the celebrities in this star-studded cover image include Dua Lipa, Kaia Gerber, Oprah Winfrey, Kate Moss, and Victoria Beckham, just to name a few.

In total, there were over 40 A-listers in the photo, so it’s no surprise that people quickly labeled the cover as ‘legendary’.

But this wasn’t the first time a photo like this has been taken.

A similar, and even more impressive, one was done way back in 1987, and the sheer number of Hollywood icons in that picture is nothing short of amazing.

Even though the photo is over 30 years old, it’s been making the rounds on social media lately, sparking excitement among film fans.

It’s believed that all the actors in the picture were there for Paramount’s 75th anniversary party in Los Angeles.

After someone shared the snap on Twitter, they challenged fellow social media users to name as many stars as they could.

One user even believed they had cracked the code and identified all the famous faces.

One very recognizable star front and center in the photo is Top Gun’s Tom Cruise.

At the time, Cruise was just 24 years old and still an up-and-coming actor.

Noting this, one person commented on Twitter: "Cracking up that Paramount stuck a 24 year old who had only been acting for 5 years in the dead center of their huge anniversary photoshoot that included some of the biggest stars to ever live they were taking a bet there and you know what it paid off."

The now-viral photo has brought a wave of nostalgia to film fans.

One person said, "So many talented stars!!! Oh man, I missed that Hollywood. Been watching movies < 2000. Nostalgia."

Another added, "My god… such star power will never exist ever again. And we got to experience all of this."

"A spectacular glimpse from a golden age of film and television," another fan commented.

Others have called the photograph ‘insane’ and ‘amazing’, especially considering how many Hollywood legends were captured in one place at the same time.
