Zara Larsson for V Magazine Spring 2026

Photographer Zoe Grossman has captured her in full Technicolor glory, sprawled out on a blue carpet with a vintage iPod, kneeling on a pink bed, reading, going full rock girl against a fire-engine red background. Bubble gum, lingerie, tiara and white tees also complete the look.

It’s charming, it’s playful, and it’s totally her. Styled by Lana J Lackey in Coach’s SS26 collection, the shoot pulls from every corner of pop iconography, but it’s totally Zara.

And the timing couldn’t be better. her grammy-nominated album midnight Sun It has been appreciated by the entire world, with their collaboration with Pinkpantheres on “Stateside” reaching the global top ten. Not bad for someone who has been technically famous since he was 10 years old.

As Larson herself says: “I feel like the momentum is in full swing, so I’m just trying to catch it and move forward with it.”
