See: wp-user-profiles/includes/hooks.php

Can I enable the modern profile layout?

Yes. Add this filter in a small plugin, an mu-plugin, or your theme's code:

add_filter( 'wp_user_profiles_use_modern_styles', '__return_true' );

The classic layout remains the default unless the site owner enables this filter.
