Grumpy Magazine: Jurnee Smollett in conversation with John Leguizamo

Sep 2025

This editorial portrait series for Grumpy Magazine features actor Jurnee Smollett across a variety of interior and urban environments. The collection leans into clean architectural framing and warm natural light to create a sophisticated, consistent visual language. Produced by Jasmine Perrier, the feature highlights a series of layered, high-fashion looks captured against both paneled wood interiors and sprawling city skylines. Fashion styling by Ali Kornhauser provides a diverse aesthetic range, moving from structured utility jackets to fluid slip dresses and tailored suiting. Makeup artist Dana Delaney complements the wardrobe choices with polished, understated looks that maintain the focus on Smollett’s poised presence. The editorial utilises a mix of warm tones and monochrome palettes to explore depth and texture within the frame.
