Anna Delvey is done letting other people tell her story. Covering the January virtual issue of Valus Magazine, Anna steps back into the spotlight on her own terms, offering a perspective that feels quieter, sharper, and far more intentional than the versions of her life we’ve been fed for years.

When asked about the endless portrayals of her past, Anna doesn’t mince words. “You think you already know my story, but everything you know is wrong,” she shared in the interview, immediately setting the tone for a conversation rooted in reclamation rather than spectacle.

According to Anna, life has shifted into something far more grounded. “Life has returned to a more regular routine,” she told the outlet, adding that she’s enjoying everyday activities and time spent with close friends. Her downtime sounds surprisingly relatable too, filled with tennis matches and movie nights. Low-key, human, and refreshingly normal.

Visually, the Valus shoot mirrors that sense of control and self definition. Photographed by Caleb & Gladys, the editorial captures Anna in a series of polished, fashion forward looks that feel intentional rather than theatrical.

She wears pieces from brands including ZIMMERMANN, Mark Gong, Skye Wilson, Alexis Bittar, BOND Hardware, FENDI, and more, each look striking a balance between strength and elegance without feeling overproduced.

What stands out most is Anna’s clarity about how she sees herself moving forward. “There are endless narratives about me, most of them boringly predictable and written by people who’ve never met me,” she said.

“If I were writing my own story, it would say that I’m someone who refuses to be defined by other people’s projections, that I’ve built a life out of defying expectation, and that I’ll always choose creating my own reality over living inside someone else’s.”

Love her or question her, one thing is undeniable. Anna Delvey is still very much in control of her image, her voice, and her next chapter. And this cover feels less like a comeback and more like a quiet declaration that she never left.
