Riley Keough Sits for Mario Sorrenti on Vanity Fair’s September 2023 Cover

It is always a much-welcomed and refreshing sight to see different faces greet us on magazine covers down at the newsstand, and Radhika Jones at Vanity Fair receives the memo loud and clear this month, as the mag’s editor-in-chief bestows upon us Riley Keough as VF‘s September 2023 cover star. To mark the occasion, Jones commissioned photographer Mario Sorrenti (who has previously shot the likes of Margot Robbie and Scarlett Johansson for the magazine) to profile the American actress and granddaughter of the late Elvis Presley. Complete with styling from Nicola Formichetti, Riley (fresh from the cover of Vogue Australia) reclines on a tan leather sofa in the nonchalant cover image, wearing an Emporio Armani top, black Giorgio Armani leggings, Jimmy Choo heels and Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry.

“What a weird position… she looks drunk!” immediately called out DK92 upon seeing the cover.

“Her head looks like it’s coming out of the couch and that’s just a prop mannequin body,” chimed in kikifoz.

Also not feeling the pose was Urban Stylin, adding: “The colors are nice but she looks too severe and that slouch is not it.”

“Considering they’ve taken this at truly the worst angle for just about anyone, she looks good,” honeycombchild confessed.

“I quite like it! Fashion-forward and a little bit of an old-school Vogue Paris (by Carine Roitfeld) vibe,” noted forum member kasper!.

“Not a fan of the slouched cover look but I’m a little bit in love with Mario Sorrenti’s cover story here, and it’s nice to be surprised with a cover subject like Riley Keough for once. She’s has photographed rather well before Sorrenti’s lens, love the long red hair, the styling and the overall mood of the shoot,” vogue28 approved.
