NEW YORK — Marking her first magazine cover appearance in 26 years, musical icon Ms. Lauryn Hill has been unveiled as the face of CR Fashion Book’s “CR Reinvention” issue. The collaboration features the artist on three distinct covers, ending a print media hiatus that dates back to the late 1990s.
The release coincides with a significant milestone in Hill’s career, as she is officially a 2026 nominee for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This recognition follows her storied history as an eight-time Grammy Award winner, both as a solo artist and as a member of the Fugees.

Technical Production - The “CR Reinvention” project utilized an extensive crew for the star’s presentation, including hair styling by Aicha Professional Hair and Don Nikos Barbershop, and makeup by Frankie Boyd. The project was overseen by Creative Director Edouard Risselet and Executive Producer Alexey Galetskiy (AGPNYC).
