Her outfit featured a white button-down shirt paired with black quilted shorts , styled in a theatrical dressing room lit by round vanity bulbs . The setting — feathered accessories, a wig on a mannequin, garments in plastic — framed Zegler as both performer and persona.
The ceiling’s black star-shaped stickers added a touch of whimsy, while the warm lighting cast her in cinematic tones. Her pose — leaning against the vanity, styled hair and makeup already set — suggested a moment between transformation and performance.
This wasn’t just a fashion spread. It was a portrait of preparation, where costume and character blur.

Parker Posey appeared on the December 2025 cover of New York Magazine’s “The Culturati 50” issue , photographed by Mark Seliger , in a look that fused bohemian eccentricity with cocktail-hour surrealism .
Her outfit featured a black strapless dress adorned with white floral patterns and gold dots , paired with sheer black tights printed with floral motifs and red high-heeled shoes tied with bows. The styling was maximalist but not chaotic — each element felt curated, not crowded.
Posey accessorized with white-framed sunglasses , a gold bracelet , and a necklace , seated in an ornate chair with a glass of white wine in hand. A silver ice bucket and a black handbag with a bamboo-style handle completed the mise-en-scène, turning the cover into a still life of cultural excess.
