Much welcomingly, Stephen Gan has a penchant for enlisting models as cover girls of V Magazine. Gan, who has headed up the New York-based fashion title since its inception, has welcomed the likes of Gigi Hadid, Candice Swanepoel, Alex Consani, Naomi Campbell, and Irina Shayk (to name just a very select few) as cover girls of late. For the Fall Preview 2026 issue, it’s a repeat performance. This season’s model fest sees Bhavitha Mandava, Libby Taverner, Ruth Deng, Candice Swanepoel, Natasha Poly, Liu Wen, Jacqui Hooper, Sascha Rajasalu, Amelia Gray, Anne Vyalitsyna, Noor Khan, Kristen McMenamy, Ella McCutcheon, Mica Argañaraz, and Lina Zhang front the cover(s) of V Magazine. The girls turn up the glamour and pose across fifteen fierce covers, complete with styling from Bea Åkerlund.
