Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby gets the Vogue treatment this month in an article titled "Meet Marilyn Mosby: The Baltimore Prosecutor in the Eye of the Storm."

The article, written by Heidi Mitchell and accompanied by a photograph by Annie Leibovitz (whose recent work includes Caitlyn Jenner's Vanity Fair cover), clocks in at almost 2,250 words. It notes that, with her swift announcement that she would prosecute the six officers charged in connection with the death of Freddie Gray, Mosby "did what no lead prosecutor in America had done in many turbulent months: bring swift and severe charges against police officers in the death of a black man."

The article includes interviews with Mosby's husband, City Councilman Nick Mosby, and her mother, Linda Thompson (although the Vogue article does not include her mother's last name). While it is largely laudatory, the story does give voice to some skeptics of her decisions in the Gray case, including a former police union official and an attorney for one of the officers charged.

It also mentions Mosby's presence at the May 10 Prince concert at Royal Farms Arena, where at one point she joined Prince onstage. "I'm a fan," she's quoted as saying. "Prince hadn't been to Baltimore for 14 years. He called me onstage, and what am I going to do, say no?"
