In her first interview since Milano Cortina, @lindseyvonn speaks at length about her horrifying crash, the five surgeries and paparazzi frenzies that followed, and whether this is really, truly the end of her career as a professional skier.

The three-time Olympic medalist rose to the top of the downhill standings with the 2026 winter games on the horizon—and then, nine days before the Olympics began, she crashed halfway down the slope at Crans-Montana and tore her ACL.

Everyone thought she was finished—except Vonn. She came back again. “I’m not crazy. I know what I can do and what I can’t do.”

And there she was, at the top of the slope for her opening race, dreaming of the downhill title. 13 seconds later, it was over. She crashed into a gate and her skis failed to pop off. They twisted and warped her body like a corkscrew as she hurtled down the hill. When she finally skidded to a halt, the world heard her screams. They pierced the air with such force that they were picked up by the NBC broadcast. She’d shattered her tibia, fibula, and ankle. What came next was more harrowing still.

“I don’t want people to hang on this crash and be remembered for that,” Vonn says. “What I did before the Olympics has never been done before. I was number one in the standings. No one remembers that I was winning.”

James Gray’s ‘Paper Tiger,’ one of only two American films in competition at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, is a tense family drama set in the late ’80s in New York, following two brothers who are chasing the American dream. But when they find themselves in a dangerous world of corruption and violence after becoming involved with some threatening Russian characters, their bond begins to fall apart.

The film, starring Adam Driver, Miles Teller, and Scarlett Johansson, started out as a sequel to ‘Armageddon Time’ before becoming “a whole new movie.” “It was like something coalesced in me to try and reveal this family later in a different mode, maybe slightly more operatic, slightly more rooted in melodrama,” Gray tells Vanity Fair in an exclusive interview ahead of its Cannes premiere.

It may not have been the movie Gray had in mind, but it was the movie he was destined to make. He says, “One of the things I’ve learned is that there are movie gods, and you can’t always dictate what they’re telling you and you can’t always control the subject.”

All eyes will be on the Cannes Film Festival when it kicks off tomorrow.

For the past several years, the most glamorous film festival of the year has also been the launching pad for some of the year’s best releases—films that often go on to be major Oscar contenders. Is there an ‘Anora’ or an ‘Anatomy of a Fall’ in this year’s lineup? Will we witness the birth of a new star, à la Mikey Madison, or the introduction of a boundary-pushing director like Oliver Laxe with ‘Sirât’?

Ahead of the festival, we’re keeping our eyes on 15 of the year’s most promising films, including new works from past Palme d’Or winners and projects starring some of our favorite international stars, like Renate Reinsve and Sandra Hüller. While there’s been some concern that the 2026 lineup lacks a major studio blockbuster, we’re betting there will be more than a few hidden gems unveiled on the Croisette.

Lane Kiffin had spent six years building a powerhouse football team at the underdog University of Mississippi and turning himself into a local hero. Now here he was, captured in videos that quickly went viral, fleeing to a regional airport for a private flight out of dodge, the final act in a circus that had consumed a governor, three major universities, and the wider sports world at the end of the 2025 season.

For a seven-year contract worth $91 million and the top gig at one of the school’s most bitter rivals in the Southeastern Conference, he is now the most controversial and among the most fiercely hated coaches in college football, the second-most popular sport in the country, behind the NFL. Which puts Kiffin in the brightest of spotlights, the place he somehow always seems to find himself—and which he clearly enjoys.

“No coach I talked to at any point ever said, ‘stay there’…” Kiffin tells Vanity Fair. “You got one life. People do it all the time. Players and free agency, coaches, magazines—people change. It’s your story. That’s why I did okay with it because I’m like, man, it’s my story. And I choose for this to be the next chapter.”

Ahead of the opening ceremony, take a look at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival’s star-studded jury that will surround South Korean director, screenwriter and producer Park Chan-wook as president.

The Cannes Film Festival jury, typically a nine-person panel of international filmmakers, actors, and artists, is tasked with selecting the winners of the competition before bestowing the prestigious Palme d’Or to one lucky title. This year’s jury includes Demi Moore, Ruth Negga, Laura Wandel, Chloé Zhao, Diego Céspedes, Isaach de Bankolé, Paul Laverty, and Stellan Skarsgård, fresh off his first best-supporting-actor Oscar nomination for ‘Sentimental Value.’

Moore starred in Coralie Fargeat’s ‘The Substance,’ which won the 2024 screenplay prize before later receiving multiple Oscar nominations, while Céspedes won the Un Certain Regard prize at Cannes 2025 for ‘The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo,’ his first feature film.

This year’s jury includes Demi Moore, Ruth Negga, Laura Wandel, Chloé Zhao, Diego Céspedes, Isaach de Bankolé, Paul Laverty, and Stellan Skarsgård, fresh off his first best-supporting-actor Oscar nomination for ‘Sentimental Value.’

Moore starred in Coralie Fargeat’s ‘The Substance,’ which won the 2024 screenplay prize before later receiving multiple Oscar nominations, while Céspedes won the Un Certain Regard prize at Cannes 2025 for ‘The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo,’ his first feature film.

The fashion in ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ is exactly what you’d expect, with signifiers of luxury from Armani, Valentino, Schiaparelli, and others. But its interiors are far less predictable, all packed with personality and whimsy.

That’s thanks to artist @mishakahn, whose work is onscreen for much of the film. “I thought they would use one random thing that you don’t really see in like, the corner of a shot,” Kahn said, noting he knew that production art advisor Fanny Pereire had borrowed some of his pieces from his gallery, but that his expectations were not high.

“I picture the objects being in this world where they’re logical and where you accept that all the objects look like this,” Kahn tells VF’s @eljosecriales. “It’s amazing that this movie, in a weird way, is the opposite. The objects are part of this sort of normal world, but one where everything is exceptional.”

“Designers are like my rock stars,” @karlawelchstylist tells Vanity Fair’s @eljosecriales. “I think a lot of times the people watching the [Met Gala] carpet just think that the stylist has made the dress”—but Welch wants to bust that myth. “I really want to retain the identity of the designer. I don’t just think about how the client looks on the carpet.”

Welch was only supposed to style two people for the #MetGala, but ended up with six clients walking up the famous stairs: Sarah Paulson, Tessa Thompson, Olivia Wilde, Greta Gerwig, Karlie Kloss, and Misty Copeland. “You kind of feel like you have it under control, but you also know you’re not actually getting it done until the weekend before,” she says. “We roll at the last minute because that’s how it is.”

In Welch’s dream scenario, every Met Gala ensemble would involve “working with designers who I think are incredible, making a connection to the theme, making a bit of a statement.”

Vanity Fair’s @nfreeman1234 has been stationed in Venice all week for La Biennale di Venezia. “The mood in Venice is still borderline ecstatic, full of gossip, parties, and people chatting about art in their respective cities, trading business cards, discovering new talent, eating, drinking, and stumbling around, running into old friends,” he writes in this week’s issue of his newsletter, True Colors.

While he’s got all the details on what he calls “the most controversial” edition of the exhibition in years, and the most spectacular shows in town, he’s also taking note of the collectors and artists ducking around the canals into cocktail parties and dinners.

“When something’s awkward, I inherently find it funny,” ‘Pen15’ cocreator Anna Konkle, tells Vanity Fair. “So even in the most painful moments, there tends to be someone above me going, ‘I know that’s hurting you right now, but that’s also really f—king funny.’”

That inner voice inspired Konkle to write her debut memoir, ‘The Sane One,’ a deeply personal look at her complex dynamics with her mother Janet and father Peter, whom she refers to now as “eccentric, funny outsiders.”

The book is not about Konkle’s comedy career, but rather the familial dysfunction that may have helped cultivate it. Like other stories of fractured childhoods, including Jennette McCurdy’s ‘I’m Glad My Mom Died’ and Jeannette Walls’s ‘The Glass Castle,’ Konkle writes in unflinching detail about how her relationship with her parents devolved under the weight of a messy divorce and financial strain. “There’s been so much validation that I wasn’t actually the freak that I thought I was,” Konkle says of shedding any shame that comes with sharing her story.”

In conversation with Vanity Fair’s @savannahdwalsh, the author shares where she stands with her mother, why she and her ‘Pen15’ collaborator Maya Erskine are better friends than business partners, and how she accidentally got Meghan Markle back to acting. Head to our link in bio for more.
