Vogue Arabia

Aug 2026

Vogue Arabia’s September 2026 issue features Cardi B in a series of surreal, high-fashion editorial portraits. Shot by photographer Szilveszter Mako and styled by Lisa Jarvis, the series centers on sculptural silhouettes and tactile, painterly set designs that lean into a moody, nostalgic aesthetic. The visuals oscillate between dramatic architectural gowns and oversized, textured outerwear, utilizing soft directional lighting to emphasize rich material details. The creative direction, led by Tom Usher, balances these bold fashion choices against muted, fresco-inspired backdrops and recessed alcove settings. Tokyo Stylez provides voluminous retro-inspired hair styling, while Erika La'Pearl executes precise, classic makeup looks, underscoring a polished editorial approach. The composition serves to highlight the contrast between traditional, ornate elements and contemporary, form-fitting couture.
