Hi everyone, I'm Lainey Wilson. Welcome to my Billboard cover photo shoot.
Lainey Wilson
I'm on the set of my Billboard cover shoot here in Pasadena. We are very excited to finish everything. I just got off a 15 hour plane ride from Sydney, Australia. They are covering up the jet lag, but it will be a fun day and it is a dream come true.

Today with Lainey, she is such a beautiful and extravagant country star. We really wanted to put a spin on what we were thinking, let's elevate it to this LA 'Boogie Nights' pool party type of vibe. So she basically said, welcome to my villa. I look amazing. Do you want some lemonade?

The pieces I pulled out, I took from Lainey's personal style. …She's always looking for an exaggerated leg, flared sleeves, kind of like this Cavalli look here is a very standard Lainey pant that people recognize her by. So I tried to stay true to that while she continued creating the vibe of the session.
