Stephen Gan sure keeps us enthralled as editor-in-chief of V Magazine (a position he has held since the title’s inception in 1999). Throughout 2025, models were high on Gan’s agenda as V cover girls. Names like Amelia Gray, Lara Stone, and Alex Consani came together for a series of celebratory covers, while Candice Swanepoel, Ashley Graham, Isabeli Fontana (and more) brought the heat during the summer. For fall, Gigi Hadid dialed up the vintage glamour. To kick-start 2026, Gan taps one of K-pop’s biggest sensations. Up next on the cover of V Magazine is Jennie (of Blackpink), who graces the Spring Preview 2026 issue of the magazine. The South Korean singer, rapper, songwriter, and actress poses before the lens of Mar+Vin. In the bold, graphic, and retro-inspired cover image, Jennier wears a jacket, bra, trunks, and earrings all from Chanel (obvi).

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“LOVE! Finally, a K-pop girl serving something interesting and unexpected. Can’t say Jennie is selling this 100%, but it’s still welcomed!” approved grimesisnotmymother upon first look.
“OMG Mar+Vin! So happy for them,” forum member Kimy Jo heralded.
Lola701 commented: “Great. This is what pop stars’ covers should look like!”
“Loving this!” exclaimed vogueparis.
“This is the very first K-pop cover I have ever liked. I dig it,” an equally as impressed nunova chimed in.
“I like this – a whole lot. I’m far from a K-pop stan, but this is one of those very rare occasions in which I can tolerate one of the girls of Blackpink. I love how bold, graphic, and monochromatic the cover is. Everything feels so considered from the styling to the art direction (love the mirroring of the V masthead and Chanel jacket),” noted vogue28.
