Chappell Roan & Tim Walker Prove to be a Match Made in Heaven for W Magazine

Make no mistake that Sara Moonves can secure A-list talent for the cover of W Magazine. Moonves, who has served as the title’s editor-in-chief since 2019, has drawn in everyone from Zendaya and Angelina Jolie to Selena Gomez and Demi Moore for the annual Best Performances issue at the start of the year. Now, for Volume #3 2025, Chappell Roan makes an appearance on the cover of W Magazine. The American singer-songwriter aptly takes to the cover of The Pop Issue, and teams up with photographer Tim Walker. The team proved to be a perfect match for the occasion, with cover shoot stylist Genesis Webb selecting a feathered Chanel Haute Couture creation for Chappell to showcase in the cover image.

“A perfect pairing. Tim Walker did a good job with Chappell Roan. I always had a soft spot for these sort of clinically white portraits he does. It’s nice to see her slowly embraced by fashion,” shared aracic.

“She is SOOO talented! Great artist! Unapologetically herself! So glad she is having her moment!” heralded forum member BalkaniStaCouture.

“Chappell and Tim Walker are a natural pairing. W can be so hit or miss lately, but when it hits, it’s so good. Probably the most exciting American fashion magazine,” KoV applauded.

Sharing the same level of enthusiasm was kokobombon. “A match made in heaven, I love this,” they raved.

“So good and playful,” oaklee91 chimed in.

“Very nice. She looks great, and I love the colors and typography,” admired GivenchyHomme.
