British Vogue has marked the fifth anniversary Meghan Markle 's 2019 guest-edited edition of the magazine that earned her backlash from critics.

The duchess chose to spotlight 15 high-profile women who she considered to be Forces for Change and included them on the cover shot by favorite fashion photographer, Peter Lindbergh, along with a mirrored square intended to represent the reflection of the reader.

It became British Vogue 's fastest selling edition in history and was the biggest-selling issue of the past decade.

Now, five years later, the legacy of Meghan's issue lives on. The publication has marked fifth the anniversary of the Forces for Change concept by asking the initial 15 trailblazing women selected by Meghan to nominate their own candidates for the honor.

Meghan's original 15 choices were: Actress, Salma Hayek; Environmentalist, Greta Thunberg ; Author, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie; Model, Christy Turlington; Ballet dancer, Francesca Hayward; Boxer, Ramla Ali; Former New Zealand prime minister, Jacinda Ardern; Actress, Jane Fonda; Model, Adwoa Aboah; Actress, Laverne Cox; Model, Adut Akech; Diversity advocate, Sinead Burke; Actress, Gemma Chan; Actress, Yara Shahidi; and Actress and presenter, Jameela Jamil.

Among the women named in honor of the anniversary are Angelina Jolie, who was nominated by Salma Hayek, and Amal Clooney, nominated by Adut Akech.

To mark the anniversary, Edward Enninful, who has since transitioned from editor of British Vogue to editorial adviser, said that over the past five years Forces for Change has evolved and grown.
