This is so beautiful to see!! Wow they are as stunning as ever. More so, actually. Their influence is special, together and separately – Brandy’s influence covering multiple genres and art forms. Did you know she inspired the lead guitarist of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers?

Inside Vogue’s Summer Issue: A Journey Across Texas

Published

June 18, 2026

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Photographer Tyler Mitchell and fashion editor Carlos Nazario head to Texas on a “school trip” of sorts for Vogue’s Summer Issue. In honor of America’s 250th anniversary, Tyler and Carlos wanted to choose a state that represented the good, the bad, and the ugly of the United States. Texas seemed like a natural fit. Along the way, Tyler and Carlos journey across the state, visiting Texas Southern University to capture cheerleaders and a drumline, spending time with line dancers and a gospel church community, and stopping at a ranch stewarded by Black cowboys.
