One of the headlines on the magazine read, \"Yep. We did it. You're totally welcome,\" referring to their cover star.

Since posting, Van Ness' announcement has gained more than 9,000 like and over 800 retweets.

\"I just adore everything about this and honestly makes me feel like I can just do anything, thank you for blessing me with this,\" one tweeter said.

Another chimed in saying, \"How is it even possible to look this good? This cover is stunning.\"
