Leslie Mann brings relaxed denim, striped shorts and playful color to Grazia UK while discussing marriage, wellness culture, motherhood and her new comedy *Spa Weekend*.
Leslie Mann is the subject of Grazia UK’s 31 August 2026 feature “Funny Business,” photographed by Hollie Fernando and styled by Annie Hertikova. The fashion story is deliberately informal: Mann appears among white bedding in a crisp shirt, striped shorts and bright green socks, then in another portrait wearing a black Wolford tank with Levi’s jeans and a vintage sweatshirt draped around her.

That relaxed styling suits an interview in which Mann is unusually open about the less polished parts of adult life. Grazia frames her as its “Queen of midlife comedy,” and the conversation moves through her 29-year marriage to Judd Apatow, parenting daughters Maude and Iris, the strange pressure of wellness culture and her return to comedy in Spa Weekend. Leslie Mann in the Grazia UK fashion shoot looks more like someone caught between getting dressed and settling back into bed than a celebrity arranged inside a rigid fashion tableau.
The clothes reinforce that loose, personal mood without becoming costume. In the denim portrait, Grazia credits a £54 Wolford tank and £100 Levi’s jeans, alongside a vintage sweatshirt sourced from an eBay archive, Fope jewelry and Roxanne First necklaces. Mann stands barefoot with the sweatshirt hanging from one arm, while bright lettered necklaces introduce the playful note that runs through the shoot.
The bed portrait pushes the same idea in another direction. A white shirt and striped shorts nearly disappear into the pale sheets, leaving the saturated green socks and Mann’s loose red hair as the strongest visual interruptions. The Grazia UK editorial portraits favor ease, movement and slightly undone poses over formal glamour.
The interview itself has a similar rhythm. Mann talks about being drawn back to California by her cats and family, describes the difficulty of maintaining a long marriage without pretending that any stage is easy, and admits how quickly Los Angeles wellness culture can become exhausting. She says the cycle can leave you feeling as though you are “never doing enough,” a theme that also connects directly with Spa Weekend, where her character joins three friends for a chaotic wellness getaway.
Mann also reflects on growing older, her daughters’ careers and the changing way women are written on screen. She argues that parts for older women have improved while noting that younger women’s roles can still feel thinner, and she speaks warmly about Maude’s move into directing. The feature therefore works best as more than a celebrity fashion spread: the casual clothes, domestic setting and self-deprecating interview all belong to the same portrait of a performer who is comfortable letting adulthood look complicated.
The editorial earns 8.5/10 for its coherent relaxed styling and the way its playful fashion choices remain connected to the candid tone of the Grazia conversation.
