Charli xcx fronts Playboy Fall 2026, interviewed by Kylie Jenner
Charli xcx is Playboy's Fall 2026 cover star, with the new issue published Sept. 16. The singer was photographed in London by Aidan Zamiri and interviewed for the cover story by Kylie Jenner, according to Playboy.
The cover feature is presented as a conversation between the two. Jenner asks the questions, and much of the talk centres on what makes a sexy photo and how Charli xcx wanted to approach the shoot. The shoot was organised in London.
Charli xcx said she had wanted to shoot with Playboy for a while, according to Billboard. Her answer was blunt. "A Playboy Bunny should never apologize for anything," she said.
The interview also turns to attraction and behaviour in relationships. Charli xcx said she finds it hot when someone is "a tiny bit avoidant," describing that as a toxic trait. She named actor Jack Black as sexy, pointing to his humour and talent as well as describing him as cool and original.
She also discussed her marriage to George Daniel in the interview, according to Just Jared. No further details from that part of the conversation were excerpted in early reports.
The cover arrives after her album Music, Fashion, Film, which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, the US albums chart. The Playboy link is not new. In May she released "Playboy Bunny" as an exclusive B-side, the extra track paired with a single, to her single "SS26," available only on vinyl.
For fans, this means two things in one package: a print cover shoot and a long Q&A. Jenner leads, Charli xcx answers, and the photos by Zamiri sit alongside the conversation.
