Usher is Vogue’s Winter 2024 Digital Issue Cover Star!
Usher Raymond IV, known to the world simply as Usher, has a lot on his mind. Hot off of a so-sold-out-they-extended-it-twice Las Vegas residency, he’s recording his ninth studio album, “Coming Home”; planning the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show; and meditating daily, working out, and helping to raise two children under the age of four. Needless to say, he isn’t sleeping much. “I was the kid who never wanted to stop,” he says. “I still am.”
For Vogue’s Winter 2024 Digital issue, Usher discusses his 30-year career, his lifelong love of fashion, and what fans can expect at halftime next month. “This night was specifically curated in my mind to have R&B take the main stage,” he says. “Not just R&B music, but R&B performance, R&B connection, R&B spirit.”
“I think you either live your life with caution or you take risks,” says Sienna Miller. Though her days are no longer dictated by the punishing rhythms of paparazzi chases, Miller’s life is still a whirlwind—swept up in a new romance, a thrilling slate of projects, co-parenting a precocious 11-year-old, and expecting a new baby with her boyfriend, the actor Oli Green. It’s easy to ascribe a kind of implicit politics to her choices, thinking that by baring her pregnant stomach on the red carpet with evident joie de vivre, she’s making life a bit easier for all women. But Miller is simply following her instincts and is not immune to insecurities.
For Vogue’s Winter 2024 issue, Miller opens up about her pregnancy, falling for Green, moving with him back to London, and the multi-film project she’s been working on: “Horizon: An American Saga,” a Civil War–era opus directed and produced by Kevin Costner.
“There’s a freeness that you have around you when you’re at your best, when you’re doing your thing at your peak.” So says Nicki Minaj, who has been hard at work writing, recording, mixing, and re-mixing her fifth studio album, “Pink Friday 2,” out next month. For the best-selling female rapper of all time, now 13 years into her career, the new record represents a return to form. “When I look back at a lot of my music, I’m like, Oh, my God, where was the me in it?” Minaj says. “So for this album, I went back to the old game plan.”
For Vogue’s December Issue, Nicki Minaj opens up about her highly anticipated new project; giving birth to her son amid the isolative unease of the pandemic; and feeling at peace with her body—something she encourages in other women, too.
Carey Mulligan is Vogue’s November 2023 Cover Star!
Every Carey Mulligan performance has a hidden music—for each of her roles, the actor curates a playlist of “songs that take me into that world, that character”—but as Leonard Bernstein’s wife, Felicia Montealegre, in “Maestro,” her range is in rare form. “This was the most intense preparation I’ve ever done for a film,” she says.
For Vogue’s November issue, Carey Mulligan opens up about going “all in” with Bradley Cooper, her director and co-star, for their story about “a very complicated marriage”—and talks about her own “very normal” family life with musician Marcus Mumford.
Don’t mistake Atelier Jolie—#AngelinaJolie’s effort to bring her globally minded, socially conscious values to the world of fashion—for something it’s not. “I don’t want to be a big fashion designer,” the actor, director, and former UN Refugee Agency Goodwill Ambassador and Special Envoy says. “I want to build a house for other people to become that.” In fact, she’s as eager to break the mold of the traditional celebrity fashion brand as she is to rethink how she moves through the world these days: “I’m hoping to change many aspects of my life. And this is the forward-facing one.”
For Vogue’s digital cover, Angelina Jolie opens up about building Atelier Jolie, her ongoing style evolution, and being “saved” by motherhood.

Kate Winslet is Vogue’s October 2023 Cover Star!
Some 30 years into her career, Kate Winslet is an artist at the top of her game, with five BAFTAs, four SAG awards, two Emmys, and an Oscar to her credit. Still, she has never done anything quite like “Lee.” As both an actor and a producer, the film—which stars Winslet as the legendary war photographer Lee Miller—has been the project of a lifetime. “The process of getting it off the ground was the most phenomenal fight,” she says. “I truly drove it up a mountain.”
A model and artist’s muse turned World War II correspondent for Vogue, Miller’s story, full of adventure, restless creativity, and courage, is intertwined with ours. Now, Winslet is bringing it to life on screen—and in the pages of Vogue’s October 2023 issue.
They’re supersonic! Introducing Vogue’s September cover, starring the Supers.
In the late ’80s to mid-’90s, high fashion went from a niche aspirational hobby to a pillar of mainstream entertainment—and at the center of this transformation were Christy, Naomi, Cindy, and Linda, whose rare combination of extraordinarily photogenic features, born-with-it confidence, quick wit, intuitive style, intense curiosity, and utterly bananas work ethic flipped the switch for the industry. And the lights have never gone off.
For Vogue’s September issue, Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, and Linda Evangelista gather for a conversation about career, love, family, and what life is really like inside the “Supermodel bubble.”

For Vogue’s April issue, Delevingne opens up about turning 30, the moment she realized that she was “not okay,” and why she’s taking the process of healing “second by second.”

Seven-time Grammy winner #BillieEilish has set her sights on a greater goal: saving the planet. For Vogue’s January digital cover story and video, #BillieEilish invited a group of young climate activists and organizers to join her for a day of conversation about the future of the planet–to be filmed by Academy Award-nominated writer-director Mike Mills. The group wore sustainable fashion for the mini-summit–with Eilish in #Balmain—and they talked about community, justice, the precariousness of the present, and the persistence of a kind of radical hope for a better tomorrow.

Jennifer Lawrence is Vogue’s October 2022 Cover Star!
Having a baby cracked Jennifer Lawrence’s world wide open. “My heart has stretched to a capacity that I didn’t know about.” And her new film, Causeway, about war and trauma and making connections with others, is a highly personal story, three years in the making. But what’s really on Lawrence’s mind is politics. “I can’t fuck with people who aren’t political anymore,” she says in a no-hold’s-barred interview for Vogue’s October issue. Lawrence unleashes on the end of Roe v. Wade, on guns, on the need for climate action—and opens up about the divisions within her own extended family, and on the importance, above all, of voting this fall.
