NEW YORK -- The editors of
Texture, the premier magazine content app, have tallied up the magazine covers
published in 2016 and created this list of 2016 cover kings and queens.
"Magazines are fantastic barometers of curiosity and obsession.
This year, no one will be shocked that
President-elect Donald Trump was the magazine cover king, but it's hard to
recall when a potential first daughter or first son-in-law received the
coverage that Ivanka Trump, and her husband, Jared Kushner, have
received," says Maggie Murphy, editorial director of Texture. "Other
trends included the rise of the Hadid sisters, the staying power of late-night
hosts, and how taken we are with star-trepreneurs like Jessica Alba, who can be
featured in Fast Company, Domino and turn heads on the cover of
Cosmopolitan."
According to Texture, here are the most covered
personalities of 2016.
1. Donald Trump
No surprise here:
Being named Time's Person of the Year, along with profiles of the Trump family
(especially Ivanka and son-in-law Jared) and the President-elect's most visible
advisors (Kellyanne Conway, etc.), delivered this win.
2. Hillary Clinton
As her party's
first female presidential nominee, Clinton landed her share of memorable
covers, but the ugly swirl around her trusted aide, Huma Abedin, and those damn
emails created more stories than iconic moments.
3. The
Kardashian/Jenner Axis
With her appearance
on Vogue's prestigious September issue, Kendall became the most fashionable
sister of all.
4. The Obamas'
Farewell Tour
They now rival the
Reagans for the presidential couple with the most PDAs. They will be missed.
5. Late-Night Hosts
Jimmy Kimmel—along
with James Corden, Trevor Noah, and Samantha Bee—racked up stories as well as
ratings.
6. The Hadid Sisters
Watch out,
Kardashians. Gigi and Bella are rising fast.
7. Megyn Kelly
Trump slayer.
Ailes killer. And a must-read wherever she appears.
8. Hamilton Mania
Lin-Manuel Miranda
had more than one (cover) shot. But this one's our fave.
9. Mark Zuckerberg
As fake news
flourished, Zuck grew less elusive, granting real interviews about the state of
the world's No. 1 media company.
10. Jessica Alba
Smart, stunning
and savvy: The Honest entrepreneur shared her formula for success.
