“Thank you to my bestie/soulmate [Marc Jacobs] for doing my forward,” she wrote.

The Queen Bee was written with writer and journalist Kathy Iandoli, and was originally set for a November 2021 release.

The book’s publisher, Hachette Books, announced in a press release that the memoir will now hit shelves on September 23, 2025.

“A true page-turner from start to finish, The Queen Bee is every bit as fierce, empowering, and badass as the woman at the heart of this story—and firmly cements her legacy as a true feminist icon,” the publisher declares. Pre-order it here.
