Elon Musk’s transgender daughter becomes a model

Vivian – the transgender daughter of tech billionaire Elon Musk and writer Justine Wilson – made her official debut as a model on May 15, appearing in a new promotional campaign for the fashion brand Wildfang.

In a photo from her first professional photoshoot, Vivian, with her long blonde hair falling loosely over her shoulders, wears purple pants and a T-shirt with the words “Existing shouldn’t be revolutionary” printed prominently. In another photo, Elon Musk’s daughter wears a floral suit with a matching tie, with a row of TV screens displaying her name in the background.

E! News reported that the campaign in collaboration with Wildfang not only brought Vivian in front of the camera, but she also directly designed a special T-shirt for this collection. All profits from the shirt will be donated to The Trevor Project – the leading organization in the US in the field of suicide prevention and crisis support for LGBTQ+ youth.

The fashion collection modeled by Vivian has a message of honoring personal identity and the journey of self-discovery

Wildfang CEO Emma McIlroy shared the reason for choosing Vivian as the face of the brand in a press release on May 15: “Vivian represents all the values ​​​​that we pursue: courage, intelligence and strong self-expression. This campaign is an opportunity for us to honor Vivian’s name, her strength, her style and the inspiration she brings to the community”.

Vivian has been openly transgender since the age of 16 and has taken medical steps to affirm her gender. She also filed to legally change her name in 2022 to completely cut off contact with her biological father, billionaire Elon Musk.

Elon Musk has publicly criticized Vivian’s views on gender identity and the transgender community. However, in an interview with NBC News published on July 25, 2024, Vivian affirmed that she has always received strong support from her biological mother, writer Justine Wilson.
