Li Na ‘s in Time’s Cover by Mark Seliger
TIME for the “100 Most Influential People in the World”
issue hired the photographer Mark Seliger to create the seven
cover portraits: Jay Z, Malala Yousafzai, Jennifer Lawrence,
Rand Paul, Elon Musk, Li Na, Aamir Khan and A.R. Rahman
Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani schoolgirl whose advocacy for girls’
rights, writes Chelsea Clinton, is just beginning; Jay Z, whose journey
from hip-hop artist to powerful entrepreneur symbolizes, according to
Michael Bloomberg, the American Dream narrative; actress Jennifer
Lawrence, who charmed the world when she won her first Oscar but,
writes Jodie Foster, impressed everyone in the movie industry long ago
with her raw talent; Rand Paul, the first-term Kentucky Senator whom
Sarah Palin describes as the GOP’s ascendant voice of reason;
the inventor and entrepreneur Elon Musk, who, Richard Branson
argues, is a global visionary for a cleaner, greener future; Li Na, the
Chinese tennis phenomenon, whom Chris Evert credits with revolutionizing
the sport in her homeland; and Aamir Khan, the Bollywood star who wins
praise from composer A.R. Rahman for using his influence to raise social
awareness in India. The covers vary internationally, but in the U.S. you’ll
find four different versions on newsstands, and each issue has all the portraits inside.
