EXCLUSIVE: Louis Vuitton Taps Jennifer Connelly for Spring 2026 Campaign

HOMEBODY: Jennifer Connelly may be known for her bold red carpet choices, but in the new Louis Vuitton campaign, she appears just as fearless when dressing up at home.

A brand ambassador since 2014, she is the longest-serving face of Nicolas Ghesquière’s womenswear collections for Vuitton, having struck up a relationship with the designer during his previous tenure at Balenciaga.

The spring 2026 images, photographed by Cass Bird, show her lounging in a luxurious villa in outfits ranging from a polished white silk high-necked blouse and wide-leg pants, to a playful bell-sleeved sweater and cuffed shorts, accessorized with fringed gaiters and fuzzy shearling-lined mules.

“The atmosphere I was wishing to share was the serenity you feel when you are in the comfort of your home,” Ghesquière told reporters in September after unveiling the collection at the Louvre museum in the recently restored rooms that were once the summer apartments of Anne of Austria, Queen of France.

“It’s fun to dress up at home, too,” he said — which for Vuitton’s VICs could mean summers aboard a Feadship yacht and winters at a chalet in Megève.

Bird chose an unspecified location in the south of France for the campaign, which portrays Connelly sitting on a pile of books or leaning against an old-fashioned pink mattress. (Eagle-eyed observers note: the book she’s reading is a prop, not a real title.)

“There is a power in the spaces we call our own — the room they hold for reflection, ease, to be ourselves. In Nicolas’ collection, each piece feels like an extension of that sanctuary,” said the actress, in a reference to one of her favorite authors, Virginia Woolf, and her classic tome “A Room of One’s Own.”

Accessorizing the clothes, which take their cues from lingerie and bedlinen, are bags including the Express, updated in soft colors such as Rose Atomic and Vanille, and shoes like the Sneakerina — one pair embroidered with colorful flowers. Connelly also wears the new LV Cube silver jewelry range.

The campaign will break in print on Tuesday, with the collection landing in stores and online on Feb. 20.
