Description

This portrait features musician and entertainer Kid Cudi as the cover subject for the V Man November 2025 digital cover. Photographed by Matthew Brookes with creative direction by Stephen Gan and fashion styling by Anna Trevelyan, the image presents a close-up profile of the artist wearing aviator sunglasses and a heavy dark ribbed-collar jacket with a shoulder epaulet. The background is softly blurred and warm-toned, directing full focus to the subject's distinct profile and stylish outerwear. Gold typographic overlays state the brand and issue details across the frame.
