In the Annie Leibovitz-lensed images shared from the feature, Grande, resplendent in a voluminous black gown and an even bigger black hat, is seen cuddling Toulouse on a beach. Toulouse, a beagle-chihuahua mix that Grande adopted in fall of 2013, is a frequent companion of the singer, so much so that the he’s made appearances in the music videos for her songs “No Tears Left to Cry,” [“Thank U, Next,”](https://time.com/5465122/thank-u-next-video-references/) and “7 Rings.” Toulouse’s adorable cameo on the cover quickly became a talking point for the Internet, with even Grande herself weighing in on her pooch’s first _Vogue_ appearance. “Thanks for allowing me to be in the background of toulouse’s first Vogue cover @voguemagazine,” Grande joked in the caption of an Instagram post of her _Vogue_ cover that she wrote on Tuesday morning. Grande’s sentiments were shared by her fans online, who welcomed Toulouse’s turn as a cover star with enthusiasm. > [](https://twitter.com/fallingrem/status/1148586206168604672) > [](https://twitter.com/kithrgtn/status/1148585825870893056) > [](https://twitter.com/sweetvners/status/1148585792698245122) > [](https://twitter.com/Moonlightisgra1/status/1148584501288660993) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5623068/ariana-grande-vogue-dog/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5623068/ariana-grande-vogue-dog/"},"headline":"The Real Star of Ariana Grande’s Vogue Cover Shoot Was Her Stylish Dog","datePublished":"2019-07-09T20:08:02.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:59:26.613Z","description":"Vogue?
