Introducing VIVIAN WILSON ⭐️ @vivllainous as 3/4 cover stars for @thecut Sept. issue ✨ lensed by @cruzcvaldez and styled by me. In 2022, when news leaked on TMZ that Wilson petitioned a judge to let her drop her father Elon Musk’s last name, it was the first time much of the public learned of her existence. It seemed almost beyond belief that the supervillain had a beautiful, hilarious trans daughter. She was celebrated as a kind of martyr icon, especially when she started speaking out against him. In reality, Wilson seems to have little desire to be a resistance hero. “Obviously, I’m still discovering who I am and whatnot,” she tells @bcolyar. “I haven’t gotten the chance to do that yet.” @thecut x @vivllainous Photography by @cruzcvaldez Written by @bcolyar Styling by @jessswill Digital Tech: @tara_raine Photo Assistants: @austin.durant and @sebastianacero_ Styling Assistants: @antoninathestylist and @icyaus Hair: @laurenpalmersmith Makeup: @zaheersyn Manicure: @nailsdid.byginger Set Design: @aaronbobrow Movement Director: @charissakroeger Tailor: Elma Click at #scdtailors Production: @kindlyproductions The Cut, Editor-in-Chief @Irpeoples The Cut, Photo Director @nono_elle_ The Cut, Deputy Culture Editor: @brkmrn The Cut, Photo Editor: @mararothman The Cut, Fashion Market Editor: @emmaoleck The Cut, Head of Social: @luciatonelli
