Esquire U.S. Esquire U.S. October/November 2026 Cover 2026

About

Esquire U.S. features actor Glen Powell on the cover of its October/November 2026 issue. Captured by photographer Billy Kidd, the series leans into a high-contrast aesthetic, utilizing low-key chiaroscuro lighting to emphasize form and tonal depth against a minimalist studio backdrop. The editorial execution remains focused on clean, tight framing, pairing the dramatic monochrome portraits with traditional magazine cover typography. Fashion editor and stylist Chloe Hartstein provides the sartorial direction, while set designer Michael Sturgeon creates the neutral environment. The issue is produced under the leadership of editor Michael Sebastian.
