The Sunday Times Style Magazine UK

Jun 2026

In a commanding portrait for the latest cover of The Sunday Times Style Magazine, Geena Davis channels a timeless, scholarly elegance that redefines the modern editorial aesthetic. Captured by photographer Thomas Whiteside, the imagery leans into a crisp, sophisticated narrative where high-waisted black trousers and a sharp pinstriped button-down are brought to life through the lens of classic tailoring. The composition, anchored by a textured, neutral-toned fabric studio backdrop, relies on the precision of studio strobe lighting to emphasize the structural silhouettes of the ensemble. Fashion editor and stylist Fabio Immediato orchestrates a look defined by a white sweater vest and a striking black tie, perfectly finished with an oversized, wide-brimmed black hat that creates a bold, frame-filling presence. The project captures an atmosphere of deliberate refinement, supported by the meticulous contributions of hair stylist Andy Lecompte and makeup artist Grace Ahn, whose work ensures a polished clarity that commands the viewer's attention. Every element, from the deliberate positioning of the wardrobe to the deliberate framing, speaks to the high-caliber craftsmanship found in contemporary magazine media. This portrait serves as a masterclass in portrait photography, demonstrating how simple, elevated styling can evoke a powerful, enduring character while maintaining the clean, graphic sensibility essential for a leading publication cover.
