W magazine has just released five different covers for its October issue, each featuring a woman dubbed one of "The New Royals" by the oversize fashion glossy.

You'll find Kristen Wiig in a retro bouffant; Ellen Page sporting a menswear-inspired ensemble; model Cara Delevingne modeling '60s chic; Monégasque royal Charlotte Casiraghi in a glamorous black gown; and supermodel Naomi Campbell looking … armless. 

Yes, poor Campbell (this may be the only time you'll ever hear that) appears to have had her arms removed in her cover portrait, which was shot by the fashion industry's beloved photography duo Inez and Vinoodh.
