If there’s such a thing as a Vogue World “regular”, it’s FKA twigs. Cast your mind back to the London edition of the event in 2023, and it’s the 36-year-old Brit who took to the stage of Theatre Royal Drury Lane in the West End to perform “One Fine Day” with the Rambert Dance Company ( ). Said turn onstage was, of course, followed by the creator’s debut on the cover of – the first under Chioma Nnadi’s tenure.
As the magazine’s head of editorial content wrote at the time, since establishing herself as a choreographer and musician, twigs has “stretched the boundaries of her physical body in every possible direction”, while “her approach to performance style has been just as mutable, defined only by her ability to shapeshift from one exquisitely dressed creature to the next”. No wonder, then, that she returned for , a celebration of style, sport and the points where the two intersect. While twigs might have appeared anywhere in the run-of-show (it’s not difficult to imagine her in the ’80s/martial arts segment, given her ), she has a natural affinity with the Roaring Twenties.
(It’s Josephine Baker, after all, whom she cites as the inspiration for her signature kiss curls.) Wearing head-to-toe Alexandre Vauthier, she brought a modern-day flapper energy to the Les Années Folles section of the evening, posing and vamping around the Colonne Vendôme in the maison’s vertiginous platforms. Of course, twigs’s LBD wasn’t the only one feature.
