The newest Kylie Jenner Vanity Fair cover has arrived, and it’s already sparking conversation across social media. Shot by famed photographer Mert Alas, the Spring 2026 issue features the beauty mogul in a smoldering bedroom scene, perched on a bed in a satin Dolce & Gabbana bra and Hermès riding breeches, a lit cigarette illuminating her face as she stares directly at the camera. The tagline says it all: “Kylie on Top.”
Inside the pages of this revealing Kylie Jenner interview, the 28-year-old mother of two opens up like never before about life outside the frame. From the poker nights she now hosts with boyfriend Timothée Chalamet to her unexpected film aspirations, this is a different Kylie, one who’s stepping into her power while letting her guard down.
The story behind the empire started with a gamble. In the Kylie Jenner interview, she reveals she poured $250,000, roughly half her savings at the time, into launching Kylie Cosmetics. Her mother Kris, warned she might end up with “lots of lip kits in her garage.” Instead, she built a brand that would make her a billionaire before turning 25.
Three years into her relationship with the Oscar-nominated actor, Jenner offers rare glimpses into their private world. She now hosts poker nights at home for Chalamet’s friends—a skill she picked up on a friend trip two years ago. “I’m very competitive,” she admits. “It feels really good when you’re up.”
When asked about Chalamet’s Critics Choice Awards speech, where he publicly thanked his “partner of three years,” Jenner gets uncharacteristically flustered. “Is it fun?” the interviewer presses. “Of course,” she responds, blushing.
Looking ahead, Jenner has clear priorities. “In the last years of my 20s, I want to focus on just me, my businesses, my work, traveling with my kids, enjoying my kids,” she shares. And then, quietly: “I do want to have more kids.”
Her sister Kendall puts it simply: “She’s just really in her grown-up bag.” From a nine-year-old on reality TV to a mogul owning her narrative, the Kylie Jenner Vanity Fair cover captures a woman finally comfortable in her own skin, even when there’s nothing but a cape between her and the world.
