At American Vogue, Chloe Malle is seemingly full of surprises. From coaching Anna Wintour to pose alongside Meryl Streep to brilliantly teaming up nepo babies Kaia Gerber and Homer Gere as cover stars, Malle is slowly but surely gaining momentum, situated at the top editing job. The latest involves dropping not one but two surprise cover subjects for the October 2026 issue. First up was Michael B. Jordan crowned the fifth man to grace American Vogue solo, and now Mikey Madison is revealed as a Vogue cover girl this month. After first appearing on Italian Vogue back in 2025, the American actress makes her American Vogue cover debut, captured by Drew Vickers. Styled by Carlos Nazario, the Academy Award-winning talent hits the Californian wilderness and poses on horseback wearing Prada.
