Mikey Madison on 'The Social Reckoning' and Staying Offline: Vogue's October 2026 Cover Story
Mikey Madison, who’s actually Mikaela Madison Rosberg, graces the cover of Vogue's October 2026 edition. At 27, the actress won an Oscar for best actress in 2025 for her performance in Sean Baker's Anora. She’s now starring in The Social Reckoning, directed by Aaron Sorkin, where she portrays Frances Haugen, the Facebook whistleblower. Haugen collaborated with journalist Jeff Horwitz in 2021 to reveal the company’s awareness of extremist content and the damaging impact of Instagram on young girls. The film, launching in early October before the midterms, features Jeremy Allen White and Jeremy Strong as well. Mikey, a former equestrian, had her first big break on Better Things at 15, and still keeps a low profile online, focusing on her three Chihuahuas and two donkeys.
