American Hustle star Jennifer Lawrence is one of six actors featured on special individual covers of W magazine's Movie Issue, out at newsstands now.
Alongside Jennifer, the other fab five cover stars are Matthew McConaughey, Amy Adams, Cate Blanchett, Oprah WInfrey and Lupita Nyong’o.
The magazine chose the six actors saying it wanted to honour 'the year's biggest stars'.

Jennifer wears a high-waisted 50-style print bikini on the cover and inside the magazine spills the beans on her big trip-up at last year's Oscars when she won Best Actress for Silver Linings Playbook.
'I was at the Oscars, waiting to hear
if my name was called, and I kept thinking, Cakewalk, cakewalk, cakewalk. I thought, Why is ‘cakewalk’ stuck in my head?' she relates to the magazine.
'And then, as I started to walk up the stairs and the fabric from my dress tucked under my feet, I realized my stylist had told me, ‘Kick, walk, kick, walk.’
You are supposed to kick the dress out while you walk, and I totally forgot because I was thinking about cake! And that’s why I fell.'

Inside the magazine author Lynn Hirschberg writes an essay entitled 'The actors who killed it this year get real'.
She describes Jennifer's role in American Hustle 'as a manipulative, accident-prone wife and mother in American Hustle' and calls the performance both 'charismatic and unbalanced'.
The author also goes on to say that '2013 was a thrilling year for movies.' She also declares that 'loneliness permeated the movies in 2013'

'Which is what movies, especially great movies, do: They unite an audience with stories of individuals who have suffered, triumphed, loved, lost,' she writes in the magazine.
'At its best, film is a glimpse into a fully realized world and, in 2013, those worlds were gloriously, heartbreakingly human.
Hirschberg also champions performances by Jared Leto and Matthew McConaughey in Dallas Buyers Club as ones that 'transcended the usual cliches'.

Matthew is also the only male to have scored a cover of W magazine for its movie issue.
On his star turn in the movie, Hirschberg writes: 'And then there was Matthew McConaughey, who portrayed an angry AIDS patient in Dallas Buyers Club, fighting for his life in conservative 1980s Texas.
'McConaughey, who also played an escaped convict with a romantic streak in Mud, is having his own personal best year in movies - he’s forsaken the golden boy rom-com world for roles that are darker and more vivid.
