“Homecoming” star Janelle Monáe covers the June 2020 issue of Vanity Fair magazine styled by Samira Nasr and photographed by Collier Schorr via Zoom.

Janelle Monáe opens up about anxiety, hope and how she’s filling her days in isolation in a Zoom interview for Vanity Fair’s June issue. For the cover shot (see above), which was also done via Zoom, the “Homecoming” lead wears a Chanel coat. {Vanity Fair}

On dealing with the current crisis: “I’ve been trying to help the band and the crew as much as I can. I’ve been doing a lot of organizing, because we are not all in the same boat. Staying at home for me is different than staying at home and not working for a mom with five kids, when she’s single and can’t afford to pay her rent or pay for food for her kids.”
