For the Vogue US May 2026 digital cover, star photographer Steven Klein shot the legendary tennis player Aryna Sabalenka.

Born in Minsk, Belarusian Aryna Sjarhejeuna Sabalenka has won six Grand Slam titles, four of them in singles. She first reached the world number one ranking in singles on September 11, 2023, and has been the world's best female tennis player continuously since October 21, 2024 (as of June 2026).

In the Vogue interview, conducted by journalist Rob Haskell, the world's number one tennis player, Aryna Sabalenka, speaks candidly about her emotional rollercoaster, family tragedies, and the extreme pressure of professional sports.

The shoot took place on the balcony of one of the luxury suites at the Faena Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida (USA). The sandy beach and Atlantic Ocean of Miami served as the direct backdrop for the entire fashion editorial.

Celebrity photographer Steven Klein originally studied painting at the renowned Rhode Island School of Design before switching to photography in Paris and New York in the 1980s and 1990s. He has photographed world-famous editorials and campaigns with stars such as Madonna (a collaboration spanning decades), Lady Gaga (directing the music video "Alejandro"), Brad Pitt, and Angelina Jolie.

Steven Klein is from now on represented by LGA MGMT, Paris - London - NYC.

Liberté, Egalité, Mbappé! – At the 2026 FIFA World Cup, French superstar Kylian Mbappé is in the spotlight. Unlike the 2018 and 2022 tournaments, this time he arrives as captain of the French national team – with only one goal: to bring the trophy back to Paris.

French football star Kylian Mbappé was photographed in May 2026 by renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz for the Sports Issue of Vanity Fair magazine.

The extensive cover interview for Vanity Fair's Sports Issue sheds light on Kylian Mbappé's life during a period of extreme sporting and political pressure. The interview and photo shoot took place in a hotel suite at the Fairmont Hotel in Washington, D.C., where Kylian Mbappé was staying with the French national team for friendly matches.

In this interview, Kylian discusses his high-profile move to Real Madrid and reflects on his first few months in the Spanish capital. He expresses surprise at the culture and praises the relaxed, warm-hearted way of life of the Spanish people. His (still rather modest) cooking skills, his idol Cristiano Ronaldo, and, not least, the worrying social developments in France, his homeland, are also topics of discussion.

Annie Leibovitz is represented by the agency LGA MANAGEMENT, Paris - London - NYC.

Lauren Hutton. The American model and film legend Lauren Hutton is the star of the creative collaboration between luxury eyewear label Jacques Marie Mage and Haider Ackermann.

Lauren was photographed for the campaign by Steven Klein under the creative direction of designer Haider Ackermann.

At over 80 years old, Lauren Hutton embodies an authentic, lived-in elegance. The images were deliberately left unretouched. This breaks with the fashion industry's obsession with youth and celebrates aging with pride - a trend often referred to as the "Greynaissance" in the fashion world.

Jacques Marie Mage was founded in 2014 in Los Angeles by French designer Jérôme Jacques Marie Mage. The French native moved to Southern California in the 1990s and worked for many years as a freelance action sports and product designer. He is an obsessive collector of vintage objects and owns over 2,000 historical eyewear models himself. Driven by this passion, he founded JMM - to design eyewear that will last for generations.

The Colombian-born French designer Haider Ackermann is considered a master of the modern silhouette and sensual layering. After stints at heritage brands like Berluti, he was appointed Creative Director of Tom Ford.

The capsule collection featured here – naturally, strictly limited ! – was launched in May 2026. It is based on an extremely elaborate manufacturing process, carried out in Japan, comprising over 300 individual steps and involving nearly 100 artisans.
