Ten of Hollywood's most glamorous women are pictured together to celebrate this year's Oscars ceremony.

With nearly 400 film credits and 27 Oscars between them the actresses' pictures are on the front page of April's Vanity Fair magazine.

The magazine usually profiles up and coming actresses on its cover in the run up to the Oscar's, but this year it has decided to break from tradition.

Featured on the cover are: Nicole Kidman, Catherine Deneuve, Meryl Streep, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cate Blanchett, Kate Winslet, Vanessa Redgrave, Chloe Sevigny, Sophia Loren and Penelope Cruz.

Unable to get all 10 women in one place, the photo shoot was set up in three different cities - London, New York and Los Angeles.
