Personalities from the world of fashion, entertainment, and beyond continue to flock to the cover of Interview magazine. Names like Demi Moore, Jennifer Lopez, Lily-Rose Depp, Selena Gomez, Natalie Portman, SZA, Sabrina Carpenter, Jeremy Allen White, Ariana Grande, Zendaya (alongside Robert Pattinson), and Hailey Bieber have fronted the New York-based Crystal Ball Media-owned publication. Mel Otttenberg (who has served as EIC since 2021) secures none other than Madonna as an Interview magazine cover star, via the Summer 2026 issue. Shot by Nadia Lee Cohen and styled by Ottenberg himself, the shoot marks Madonna’s 10th Interview cover story (the most of any star in this magazine’s 57-year history). Dressed in Gucci, the American icon is “transformed into Dee Dee, a vivacious, hard-living broad with big hair, endless prosecco, and The Stooges turned way up.”
