Jayden James Becomes MAC Cosmetics Cover Star, Discusses Music and Modeling Plans
Jayden James, the 19-year-old son of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline, has been named the cover star for MAC Cosmetics' relaunched digital magazine MACzine. In the accompanying interview, he credited his girlfriend for his skincare routine and expressed continued interest in modeling, noting he wants to improve his runway walk. He also said he and his brother Sean Preston have been making music together and will release it when they feel ready.
James's MAC cover follows his and Sean Preston's joint runway debut at Vetements' Spring/Summer 2027 show during Paris Men's Fashion Week in June. He admitted to Vogue afterward that nerves made him stiff on the catwalk, and he hopes to refine his walk for future modeling opportunities.
The brothers have reportedly been creating music together for years, with Sean Preston previously calling music his "foundation." James continues developing solo material but intends to wait until he feels prepared before releasing it publicly. MAC's creative director praised James's piano abilities and described his artistic sensibility as uniquely suited to the brand.
This cover placement may signal how legacy celebrity children are increasingly carving independent creative identities beyond their parents' fame. James's multi-platform approach—modeling, music, and beauty—could resonate with younger audiences who value versatility over single-discipline careers. His public acknowledgment of his girlfriend's influence on his skincare routine may also normalize collaborative, everyday approaches to grooming among young men, potentially shifting perceptions of male beauty standards in mainstream pop culture.
