Hannah Jackson

Hannah Jackson is a senior fashion writer at Vogue whose coverage treats celebrity style as storytelling, using clothes to explore character, mood, and cultural references. She writes across Vogue’s fashion verticals, with a core focus on celebrity style, trends, and occasional culture pieces that connect getting dressed to identity and narrative. Her work extends across the Vogue ecosystem, including British Vogue, where she brings the same sharp, reference-rich eye to red carpets, weddings, vintage fashion, and awards-season dressing.

Celebrity style as character study

Jackson’s primary beat is celebrity style, and she approaches it as a series of character studies rather than simple outfit reports. Her recent Vogue pieces follow actors, musicians, and athletes through specific fashion storylines, such as Anne Hathaway’s “Odyssey of maternity style,” Florence Pugh’s mix of oversized ruffles and naked dressing, or Kendall Jenner’s coordinated couple style with Jacob Elordi. She writes closely about how looks build a persona: Rosalía “Black Swan fall,” Jennifer Lawrence’s “Sk8r Boi” staples, or Daisy Edgar-Jones’s Jane Austen-inflected naked dress are framed as deliberate stylistic choices that tell a story about each subject.

Couple dressing is a recurring motif, with essays on Kaia Gerber and Lewis Pullman’s autumnal couple style, Justin and Hailey Bieber’s mismatched approach, and Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi taking their coordination “on the road.”

She also revisits the evolution of individual public images, charting long arcs through galleries on Beyoncé’s greatest fashion moments, Dua Lipa’s thirty-one standout looks, Kylie Jenner’s fashion eras, and Kaia Gerber’s red-carpet development. Across these pieces, she draws clear lines between styling decisions, references, and the narratives celebrities build over time.

Red carpet, awards shows, and live fashion events

Jackson covers major red carpets and live fashion events as serialized dramas, paying attention to themes, dress codes, and the atmosphere of a night as much as individual outfits. Her Vogue reports on the 2026 VMAs include both a focused look at Taylor Swift “dressed to make history” and a broader piece tracking the “spooky scary” tone of the red carpet.

For the 2026 Emmys, she moves between award-style roundups like “The Vogue Awards - 2026 Emmys Edition” and specific spotlights on attendees such as Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys leaning into New York designers, Selena Gomez “going for gold,” and Hannah Einbinder’s talisman-filled bag. She handles Vogue World: Milano as both a celebrity-style stage and a brand event, covering Cardi B’s print-heavy look, Mikey Madison’s Italian bombshell styling, and full red-carpet rundowns. On British Vogue, she extends this lens to the Met Gala and other global moments, breaking down the construction and symbolism of Margot Robbie’s Chanel dress, Gigi Hadid’s last-minute Met Gala fitting, and Kendall Jenner’s gown as an homage to ancient Greek sculpture.

These pieces show a consistent pattern: Jackson explains how a dress code is interpreted, how specific looks fit into larger cultural or career narratives, and how big nights crystallize ongoing fashion stories.

Fashion history, vintage, and trend storytelling

Beyond immediate celebrity coverage, Jackson often uses individual trends and references to unpack fashion history and the mechanics of taste. Her galleries and essays revisit archival moments - such as Beyoncé’s agenda-setting Met Gala looks, Bella Hadid’s run of vintage hits in Cannes, or Amal Clooney’s gold vintage outing - as a way of showing how older pieces are reactivated in current style. She writes about personal style development in service pieces like “How to Find Your Style, According to the Chicest People We Know,” which distills advice from fashion insiders into practical frameworks for readers. Trend features such as “Fashion Loves a Horse Girl!” and “Can Tomato Girl Summer Give Me the Dolce Vita of My Dreams?” place viral aesthetics in a broader lineage of fashion fantasies and subcultures, often through first-person or reported narratives.

Her portfolio also includes work on fashion’s fascination with tarot, showing how spiritual and symbolic imagery moves from subculture to runway to mainstream styling. Gift guides like “The Fashion Lover’s 2025 IYKYK Gift Guide” and Met Gala dress-code roundups of runway looks demonstrate a recurring interest in how references, insider knowledge, and archival awareness filter into shopping and occasion dressing. In these pieces, Jackson connects trend language, past imagery, and present-day styling into coherent stories about how people build and refine their fashion identities.

Culture, narrative features, and occasional news

Jackson’s beat also includes narrative and culture-forward work that keeps fashion at the center while widening the frame to politics, memory, and media.

Her Vogue essay on her grandfather’s Holocaust survival, and how wearing his jacket keeps his legacy alive, uses a single garment to explore intergenerational memory and the ethics of remembrance. She profiles figures outside traditional fashion circles, as in her news feature on Angie Nixon’s surprise US Senate primary win, which introduces the lawmaker while situating her within a broader discussion of progressive politics and representation. In coverage of Book of Hours and other culture stories, she looks at how literary and justice-oriented narratives intersect with personal style and the semiotics of clothing.

Pieces such as her ode to Twiggy, sparked by America’s Next Top Model, show how fashion media and television shape lifelong reference points and taste.

She also writes lighter cultural hybrids - like following Jalen Brunson’s accidental runway debut or crafting a humorous Dogue shoot narrative for Bad Bunny’s beagle - that keep fashion’s crossover with sport, music, and internet culture in view. Across this work, Jackson brings the same detail-oriented, reference-heavy approach she uses on red carpets to stories where clothes carry emotional, political, or humorous weight.

Format range and working style

Jackson moves comfortably between quick-turn celebrity dispatches, live event coverage, service journalism, deep-dive galleries, and personal or reported essays. On Vogue’s site her byline appears on news hits, runway reviews, shopping guides, and visual galleries, indicating a role that spans both daily coverage and more evergreen, narrative pieces. Her recurring presence on British Vogue, particularly around Met Gala coverage, weddings, vintage fashion, and celebrity jewelry analysis, shows that she is trusted across editions for high-profile, style-led stories. Earlier in her career she wrote widely as a freelancer and worked in social media, and her current author bios note that her work has appeared in fashion and culture titles including Elle, The Cut, Architectural Digest, Harper’s Bazaar, Rolling Stone, W, and others. Across these contexts, her through-line is clear: she uses fashion - and particularly celebrity dressing - as a way to talk about narrative, reference, and the stories people tell about themselves through clothes.
