WSJ Queen of Couture 2026

About

This striking fashion editorial portrait for Queen of Couture by WSJ features model Gigi Hadid posed on a dark wooden stool inside a dramatic, theatrically styled set. She wears a vibrant blue long-sleeved dress adorned with colorful floral embroidery and textured embellishments, paired with light-coloured heels. Her hair is slicked back into a neat bun, and her expression is poised and direct toward the camera. The surrounding dark green interior features wood paneling, an ornate painted ceiling, a small fireplace with flickering painted flames, and an architectural arched window. On the floor nearby sits a small metallic sculpture of a mouse. Photographed by Szilveszter Mako with fashion styling by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, the image combines painterly lighting and rich atmospheric textures.
