Justin Jefferson had a fabulous campaign in 2024, with his fourth consecutive season with over 1,000 receiving yards and his fourth season getting a Pro Bowl selection. However, the Minnesota Vikings’ wide receiver grabbed the limelight off the court as well, dipping his toes in other ventures.
The wide receiver has taken on some modelling projects with the fashion industry titans, and the latest updates from his shoots for Vogue Magazine are making waves.
Justin Jefferson Poses for Vogue Magazine
While it is not the first time Jefferson has impressed people with his modelling skills, his shots with the haute couture heavyweight Vogue Magazine amazed the fans. Jefferson shared his photoshoot for Vogue, donning a luxe olive green Willy Chavarria suit paired with classic Christian Louboutins. WNBA sensation A’Ja Wilson and Pro-skater TyShawn Jones were also posing beside Jefferson in the picture.
The trio will be featured in Vogue Magazine’s May 2025 issue, the theme of which coincides with the Met Gala each year. The 2025 Met Gala and Vogue Magazine’s May 2025 edition would center around the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”
The issue, in collaboration with GQ, celebrates Black dandyism and the influence of Black style.

Jefferson, Wilson, and Jones are part of the star-studded edition, which will also feature the 2025 MET Gala’s co-chairs Pharrell Williams, A$AP Rocky, Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, Honorary Chair LeBron James, and Co-Chair Anna Wintour, the Editor-in-Chief of Vogue.Â
Justin Jefferson’s Previous Modeling Stints
This isn’t the first time Jefferson has been associated with Vogue. In June 2024, he walked the runway for Vogue during Paris Fashion Week and also did a photoshoot for Vogue alongside his former LSU teammate and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback, Joe Burrow.
His latest venture would be another addition to Jefferson’s modeling portfolio, as he continues to grow it.
The Vikings’ wide receiver is not just known for his fashion sense, but also his elite receiving skills. Jefferson holds the NFL record for the most receiving yards per game in a career (96.5), and has also amassed the most receiving yards through a player’s first five seasons in NFL history.Â
Jefferson also holds the record for most receptions (324) and receiving yards (4,825) in a player’s first three seasons. Given these records and the skills he possesses, the Vikings locked Jefferson in with a four-year contract extension of his rookie contract in June 2024.
His $140 million contract, which includes $110 million in guaranteed money and $88.7 million fully guaranteed at signing, made him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL last year.
Ja’Marr Chase’s $161 million contract extension with the Cincinnati Bengals topped that in April 2025. Regardless, Jefferson’s modeling stints are expected to continue adding to his income.
