Anna Weyant Paints Marc Jacobs for Vanity Fair Style 2026 Cover
Anna Weyant’s Old Master–inspired portrait of Marc Jacobs, showing the designer in Chanel tweed and silver salon clips, graces Vanity Fair’s Style 2026 cover. The cover story, “Marc Jacobs Cannot Tell a Lie,” publishes August 18, coinciding with the estimated $850 million sale of Marc Jacobs International. A line from Walt Whitman — “From this hour I ordain myself loos’d of limits and imaginary lines” — accompanies the image. This marks Jacobs’s second commission of Weyant: in December 2024, as Vogue’s first external guest editor, he asked her to paint Kaia Gerber in a Marc Jacobs Fall 2024 dress for an alternate cover.
