Lindsay Lohan Returns: The New Muse of a Generation Graces the Cover of ELLE US Summer 2025

Time knows how to make a pause count. Eighteen years after her last cover for ELLE US, Lindsay Lohan is back—not just as an actress, but as a symbol of a new kind of femininity: mature, liberated, and self-assured. The shoot by Chris Colls for the Summer 2025 issue is more than just a fashion campaign. It’s a true comeback story.

The cover speaks volumes with its minimalist aesthetic. A black-and-white photo shows Lohan wrapped in a luxurious faux fur coat by Dolce & Gabbana, classic Falke tights, Saint Laurent heels, and Van Cleef & Arpels rings—a masterclass in styling where every detail is as precise as a breath.

Inside the issue is a kaleidoscope of looks from Balmain, Isabel Marant, Khaite, David Koma, Roberto Cavalli, and other iconic brands, all curated by ELLE’s fashion director Alex White. These aren’t just beautiful clothes—they’re a metaphor for the new Lindsay: layered, strong, and unapologetically feminine.

Today, Lohan lives in Dubai with her family, and her approach to fashion has evolved. “If I’m not comfortable, I won’t wear it,” she says in the interview. Remarkably, the woman who once embodied rebellious teen spirit now teaches us what it means to be in harmony with ourselves and our bodies.

The cover also coincides with the release of the new installment of the cult classic Freaky Friday, with Lohan reprising the role that made her a beloved star for millions. “It’s surreal. I never thought this story would get a sequel,” she admits.
