W Magazine The Cat's Meow 2025

Description

Photographed by Craig McDean and styled by Grace Coddington for W Magazine's project 'The Cat's Meow', model Lily Nova sits perched atop a dark wood chest of drawers with brass hardware. She wears a short-sleeved cream patterned blouse paired with high-waisted dark wide-leg trousers and white lug-sole platform loafers. Her auburn hair is styled with retro curved fringe bangs framing a serious, direct gaze. Piers Hanmer's set design evokes a subdued, classic interior featuring neutral panelled walls and a tall, multi-pane window in soft directional lighting.
