Vogue US, May 2026

Driven by the vision and influence of industry power-brokers Anna Wintour (editor) and Grace Coddington (creative director), this monthly magazine is your go-to for fresh, smart American style, beautifully evocative editorial and all the latest on emerging designers, aspirational women in the public eye and new trends.

In this issue:

The much sought after May 2026 edition of Vogue US leads with Anna Wintour and Meryl Streep on the cover, following the release of ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ sequel this spring; it’s the first time Anna has appeared on the cover since she ascended to the ranks of editor-in-chief in 1988—a sign of the times, marking Vogue’s transition from sacrosanct gatekeeper to reluctant participator as it struggles to keep up with a shifting media landscape shaped by commercial pressures. ‘Better the devil you know’ appears to be the rationale this issue, which features the longtime friends in a double spread conversation gently steered by Greta Gerwig—also no stranger to media training—inside. 

Elsewhere, three celebrated writers—Leila Mottley, Emma Cline and Mary Gaitskill—contemplate the form and function of the body, Margaux Anbouba explores the enduring appeal of corsetry, and Dodie Kazanjian delves into the upcoming ‘Costume Art’ exhibition at The Met, adorning its new Condé M. Nast wing.
