Introducing Michael B. Jordan Is Vogue’s October Cover Star! from The Run-Through with Vogue. Follow the show: The Run-Through with Vogue In an intimate conversation with Chioma Nnadi, Vogue’s October Cover star Micheal B. Jordan dissected this unique moment where everything he’s dreamed of seems to be finally coming to fruition. First up: his first Vogue cover photographed in a lush green garden in London by Luis Alberto Rodriguez. “We felt like a garden was like the, you know, symbolic for the things that I was growing and things that I was building around and tending to,” Jordan said. Brick by brick Jordan has added a bonafide Netflix hit animated movie, a highly anticipated new film and- the crowning jewel many actors dream of- an Oscar to his garden. After Jordan’s Oscar win he received a call from fellow winner Jamie Foxx alongside his daughter (and a group of her friends!) “He's always one of my biggest supporters and also encouraging me to stay locked in and stay on my path” Up next on Jordan’s path: a reimagination of the 1968 film The Thomas Crown Affair, set to come out March 2027. When Chioma asked what will make this film different from the original and most recent 1999 remake he said ”there's a whole generation that's not familiar with Thomas Crown, so I looked at this as a way to make this like a origin story and an introduction to who Thomas Crown is.” This will mark his sophomore directorial film and he carries the weight of responsibility for what it means to not just himself, but other Black filmmakers who aspire to be multifaceted. It will also be a reunion for him and Ruth E. Carter, who recently worked with Ryan Coogler and Jordan on costuming Sinners. Jordan says that for the Crown Affair, he wants the outfits to feel “timeless.” No stranger to the red carpet, Jordan likes being pushed out of his comfort zone, especially by longtime stylist James Bolden. He’s a self described fashion “addict,” a trait that likely began in his teenage upbringing as a twelve year old actor from Newark, New Jersey. He’s come a long way from the Omavi jeans and 4X white tee that were staples of his youth, but the Timbs remain (as seen on his Vogue cover). With more than half his life spent in the limelight, Jordan told Chioma that as he turns 40 next year it might be time to finally work less and enjoy more. “Honestly, I'm gonna enjoy not having a plan and not having a schedule…I haven't been able to do that in quite some time.” The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.
