As editorial director of Vanity Fair, Mark Guiducci continues to imprint his mark on the Condé Nast-owned publications. Having succeeded Radhika Jones in 2025, names like Jennifer Aniston, Elle & Dakota Fanning, Charli XCX, Teyana Taylor, Margaret Qualley, Kylie Jenner, and Mbappé have become cover stars. Next up on the cover of Vanity Fair is Lisa, who fronts the Summer 2026 edition of the magazine. The Thai rapper and singer (who rose to prominence as a member of the South Korean K-pop girl group Blackpink) is profiled by the photographer Ethan James Green for the occasion of her solo VF debut. Styled by Dara, Lisa becomes the ultimate Las Vegas showgirl, working custom House of Gilles, Gianvito Rossi heels, Bulgari jewelry, and a show-stopping headpiece from New York Vintage.

“Another strong and commanding cover from Mark Guiducci’s Vanity Fair! The man sure knows how to produce such a strong cover. This is miles ahead of what Radhika Jones could produce, and I’m not even a Lisa fan. She has photographed by Ethan James Green wonderfully here. I’m not even mad at the overdone showgirl aesthetic,” voiced vogue28.

“My only complaint is that I wish the cover image was a close-up,” kokobombon wrote.

“I like it, but I must admit this is the weakest cover since Mark Guiducci took the direction of the magazine,” chimed in forum member JPineapple.

MModa commented: “I like the cover, but a version of the cover with the desert landscape would have done wonders.”
