Louisa Jacobson, the star of Julian Fellowes's glitzy period melodrama #TheGildedAge, is charting a path all her own. vntyfr.com/LPRU7wy
The show features who's who of Broadway, including Cynthia Nixon, Audra McDonald, Bill Irwin, Carrie Coon, and Christine Baranski. As her TV debut, Jacobson is the first to admit she faces "a huge learning curve."

In preparation for her role, Jacobson read Edith Wharton at the New York Public Library and wore a corset around her apartment: "I tried to sneeze and it imploded!"

The youngest daughter in a family of artists, Jacobson is determined to do things her way—just like her character, Marian. “She wants to pave her own path,” Jacobson tells V.F. “She’s a person who doesn’t let the shiny exterior fool her.” vntyfr.com/RvG5pjl

Exclusive 🚨: V.F. has your first official look at @PrimeVideo’s The Lord of the Rings: #TheRingsOfPower. Welcome back to Middle-earth. vntyfr.com/y9KiQsf
#TheRingsOfPower, set within Tolkien’s Second Age, will juggle 22 stars and multiple storylines—from deep within the dwarf mines to the elven kingdom of Lindon. Here, the adventures of the fellowship are still some 2,000 years in the future.

Patrick McKay and JD Payne are first-time showrunners undertaking a daunting task for Tolkien fan Jeff Bezos. Their series—based not on a novel but the Middle-earth prehistory attached to the end of #LOTR—will be the costliest TV show ever.

Everyone’s swooning for @giveon. After star-making turns on songs with Justin Bieber and Drake, the Grammy-nominated newcomer tells V.F. about putting the finishing touches on his debut album—and how he’s “still waiting on that call from Adele.” vntyfr.com/mOVbw82
Before his big break, @giveon worked as a server at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company: "On slow days, I would have to put on the shrimp suit, stand in front of the restaurant…kids pulling my tail."

His mom recognized his talent early—before he was a Soundcloud favorite or a Grammy nominee, she encouraged him to sing at birthday parties: “All the other kids are jumping in the bounce house, eating candy; I’m in the bathroom doing vocal exercises."

In April 2021, the CEO of Pornhub's new mansion went up in flames. With no shortage of possible suspects—activists, evangelicals, and victims of revenge porn—@adamgollner investigates the incident and speaks with the site's shadowy owners. vntyfr.com/IYEc4x3
Pornhub is among the most viewed websites in the world—more Americans use it than use Twitter or Netflix. Its co-owners, Feras Antoon and David Tassillo, took control of the site in 2012 after a management buyout and created MindGeek, its parent company. vntyfr.com/jjqzbfV
While the company's valuation isn’t clear, Antoon has been spotted in Ferraris and Lamborghinis with vanity plates like MRCEO, and last year, he was nearing completion on a 21-room mega-mansion on Montreal's so-called Mafia Row. vntyfr.com/voM6i6l

Christian Siriano knows the future of fashion is inclusive, diverse, and, of course, glamourous. The return of red carpets—and Project Runway—proves he's always ahead of the curve. vntyfr.com/RMirRgY
From the start, Siriano's goal was always to make his runways as diverse as possible: “People just didn't realize until later. They're like, ‘Wow, you have so many Black models on the runway.’ I'm like, ‘No, I always have. It's not a new thing.’” vntyfr.com/spRgBT1
Siriano and his team faced a new set of challenges amid COVID-19. In response, he began producing masks—and has shipped nearly two million to date. Still, he feels bigger fashion houses could be doing more—especially regarding racial inequities:

In her first three years in Congress, @RepKatiePorter has leveled corporate titans and tussled with Republicans and members of her own party alike. She—and her whiteboard—are just getting started. vntyfr.com/WpPnUJ9
Porter, relatively unknown on the national scale when she flipped the 45th, was initially discouraged by the many protocols (official and otherwise) she faced in D.C.

She took matters into her own hands.

But Porter’s ascent to congressional prominence was anything but certain—or even expected. “I wanted to teach,” she tells V.F., “because teachers changed my life.”

Nothing anchors a time quite like style. For V.F.’s September issue, @LeahFayeC enlisted stylists, critics, and other fashionable friends to look back on the trends that defined the turn of the century: vntyfr.com/AleGSQR
Stylist and designer @MisaHylton reveals @MissyElliott gave her the idea for the jumpsuit @LilKim wore to the 1999 VMAs. “It was such a liberating moment for women,” adds @JuneAmbrose. “It was a Gloria Steinem moment.”

From Britney and Justin to Björk, @RobinGivhan points out that “so-called good style” was no longer the ultimate goal. “The ultimate goal was about being memorable.”
