Introducing Glamour's TV Issue


If TV is a reflection of where we are as a society, then the fall 2019 season should give you hope.

YouTube influencer Lilly Singh is taking over the male-dominated world of late night with NBC’s A Little Late with Lilly Singh. Ruby Rose is starring as the first out lesbian superhero on the CW’s Batwoman. A-listers like Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Aniston are making the jump from blockbuster movies to streaming giants (in Netflix’s The Politician and Apple TV’s The Morning Show, respectively). Even the idea of a TV star has changed, thanks to actors like Jameela Jamil and Yara Shahidi, who have used the platforms afforded to them by their hit shows The Good Place and Grown-ish for their activism.

Behind the scenes, women are calling more shots than ever. According to the Directors Guild of America, the amount of women directing TV episodes hit a record high during the 2017-18 season. Just one example of this in play: Russian Doll actor, producer, writer, and co-creator Natasha Lyonne has transformed into the small screen’s most in-demand director, helming episodes for Orange Is the New Black (Netflix), Shrill (Hulu), and Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens (Comedy Central). ABC president Karey Burke is leading the network’s slate of diverse programming as the network’s new entertainment president—a role she inherited from another woman, Channing Dungey, in November.

The point: Complex, nuanced roles for women abound—before and behind the camera—and they’re found on streaming platforms, premium cable channels, and network behemoths alike. And to honor this, Glamour invited three women who represent what television is all about in 2019 to be our TV issue cover stars: Jameela Jamil, Natasha Lyonne, and Ruby Rose. Though they have vastly different backgrounds (countries, even), they share the common threads that matter most: They’re passionate advocates for women, forward-thinking storytellers, and, frankly, really good at their jobs.

See their profiles, here.

Proenza Schouler dress, Gucci jacket, Jimmy Choo boots, Jennifer Fisher bracelets, Dior earring, Anita Ko earring and rings, and Ariana Boussard-Reifel ring,
Altuzarra jacket and pant, RE/DONE top, Fabrizio Viti boots, and earrings are Ruby’s own

Meghan Markle Is the Guest Editor of British Vogue's September Issue


Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle is adding another role to her accomplished resume: Vogue editor. Specifically, she’s the very first guest editor of British Vogue‘s September issue—the biggest one of the year. The magazine and the palace both announced the news on Sunday evening (July 28) via social media.

“Introducing the September 2019 issue of #BritishVogue, guest-edited by HRH The Duchess of Sussex @SussexRoyal,” British Vogue wrote in an Instagram post with the issue cover. “Entitled #ForcesForChange, the cover features 15 world-leading women who are reshaping public life for global good, and were personally chosen by The Duchess of Sussex, and British Vogue’s editor-in-chief @Edward_Enninful.”

Included among the many women on the cover are Gemma Chan, Yara Shahidi, Greta Thunberg, Laverne Cox, and Jane Fonda, with one space seemingly left open—and it turns out Markle had an inspired reason for that.

“The sixteenth space on the cover, a mirror, was included so that when you hold the issue in your hands, you see yourself as part of this collective,” the caption for @royalsussex’s Instagram announcement reads.

The royal family also released another photo of Markle, who looks to be hard at work on the issue (and also very chic in her tweed Gucci dress).

Halima Aden Appears in the 2019 ‘Sports Illustrated’ Swimsuit Issue Wearing a Burkini—and You Can Actually Buy It


Update, May 15, 2019:

The 2019 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue is a noteworthy one, for many reasons—it brought Tyra Banks out of modeling retirement, and it features Halima Aden as the first model to appear in modest swimwear on its pages. Two brands designed custom suits for Aden to wear on the shoot. And one of them, Cynthia Rowley, is actually putting the burkini it made for the model into production.

Rowley created a two-piece burkini swimsuit featuring long sleeves, hood, and skirted bottom, in one of her signature colorblock prints. And now it’s up on her e-commerce for anyone to preorder.

That wasn’t originally the plan, though.

“The burkini initially started as a one-of-a-kind, custom piece for Halima, but after seeing such a positive response to the editorial, we didn’t have to think twice about putting it into production,” Rowley tells Glamour. “Thinking of fashion with a global mind-set is important to us as a brand, and we saw this as yet another opportunity to cater to our customers while standing behind the powerful and inspirational message the SI Swimsuit Issue brought to the surface. We design our wetsuits to inspire women to try new things and hope the introduction of our burkini will extend this mind-set to women around the world.”

Set to ship on August 1, the Prism Colorblock Burkini runs in sizes XS through L and retails for $295.

The response to the Cynthia Rowley burkini has been strong, says Rowley: “We’ve already received tons of positive responses. We have lots of followers DM’ing us asking what’s next…. Stay tuned!”

Original story:

She’s only 21, but model Halima Aden has already been “the first” in many different ways: She was the first woman to wear a burkini in the Miss Minnesota USA pageant, the first hijab-wearing model to sign a contract with IMG, and now, the first model to appear in a burkini in Sports Illustrated‘s famous swimsuit issue.

On Monday, Sports Illustrated announced that Aden appears in its annual swim spread, twice. This marks the first time modest swimwear is represented in the issue.

In this shoot, Aden is photographed wearing a modest swimsuit by No Ka’Oi and a multicolor burkini by Cynthia Rowley. Aden’s pages were shot in Kenya, where she lived at a refugee camp before immigrating to the United States when she was 7.

Aden’s inclusion in the 2019 Swimsuit Issue is a major step for representation of modest fashion. “This feature is proving that a fully covered hijab wearing model can confidently stand alongside a beautiful woman in a revealing bikini and together they can celebrate one another, cheer each other on, and champion each other’s successes,” the model said in a statement. “Young Muslim women need to know that there is a modest swimsuit option available to them so they can join the swim team, participate in swim class at school, and go with their friends to the beach. Muslim girls should feel confident taking that step and doing so comfortably while wearing a burkini.”

“SI Swimsuit has been at the forefront of changing the narrative and conversation on social issues and preconceived notions. I’m hoping this specific feature will open doors up for my Somali community, Muslim community, refugee community, and any other community that can relate to being different,”Aden continued.

In recent editions, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue has worked to make its pages more inclusive. It began diversifying the sizes of the models it featured in 2015, when Ashley Graham became the first curve model to appear in it. Since then, Hunter McGrady and Veronica Pome’e have modeled for the magazine.

Black Women Featured on 2018 September Issue Covers


Wearing a giant floral headdress perched atop her head, Beyoncé Knowles did something remarkable with her September 2018 Vogue cover and the words she said inside the magazine. In addition to choosing to be photographed by the first African-American to shoot a Vogue cover in 126 years (!), the entertainer and entrepreneur dispelled a fable that had long dogged the fashion industry as some absolute truth: Put a black woman on the cover of a fashion magazine and the issue will languish at newsstands, especially when it’s the all-important September issue.

“When I first started, 21 years ago, I was told that it was hard for me to get onto covers of magazines because Black people did not sell,” Beyoncé wrote. “Clearly that has been proven a myth. Not only is an African-American on the cover of the most important month for Vogue, this is the first ever Vogue cover shot by an African-American photographer.”

Other comments she made inside the magazine went viral for the right reasons—her thoughts on body image, childbirth, and a relatable public acknowledgment of her FUPA—but it was the above message about representation that was the most relevant, given the unprecedented number of other September 2018 issues that also feature black women.

There was, of course, Rihanna’s British Vogue cover, which made headlines last week for those pencil-thin Marlene Dietrich-inspired eyebrows, yes, but also for the fact that the singer was, somehow, the first-ever black woman to cover the magazine’s September issue.

And like a domino effect, more followed: Zendaya for Marie Claire, Lupita Nyong’o for Porter, Tracee Ellis Ross for ELLE Canada, models Slick Woods for ELLE UK and Adowah Aboah and Naomi Campbell for LOVE, Issa Rae for Ebony, Oprah Winfrey for her own publication O, Aja Naomi King for Shape, and of course Tiffany Haddish swanning across Glamour’s own September cover.

The succession of black female cover stars swiftly prompted an influx of social media joy, with a grid of each magazine circulating voraciously across Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Situated side-by-side, these stars’ influence was on display, showcasing something more than obvious beauty and undeniable cool: marketability . Each cover felt like a lodestar for an industry that has an uncomfortably long track record of being inspired by trends black women start, but rarely get credit for.

Still, inclusive covers alone don’t move magazine sales along—readers do. And according to a Nielsen 2017 study, black females are among media’s most voracious, savvy, and loyal consumers, and remain dedicated fans to physical magazines, even in a fast-changing media landscape. Nielsen estimates that black female consumer preference could help “drive total Black spending power toward a record $1.5 trillion by 2021”, shifting us into superpowers and cultural arbiters, which could be why the publishing world has finally focused its lens on the faces and stories of black influencers.

And while this shift in power and visibility is exciting, it also comes at a time when black female identity is at its most vulnerable. The unconscionable death of Nia Wilson last month and the glaring pay inequity black women face seem to suggest that as we continue to push culture along, we still remain uninsured by society at large. It’s hard not to wonder what it means then to tout black women as ideals of luxury, influence, and beauty, but not carve out enough avenues to protect us from gross violence and poverty.

Which is why the media—from cover stars to mastheads to creatives who concept and produce content—becomes a significant tool to bring these unsettling and pervasive inequities to the forefront.

For all the strides we’ve made in diversifying newsrooms and narratives, fashion still has some work to do as far as telling black stories and spotlighting women of color. But we’re getting there: in August 2017, Fashionista reported that only three U.S. titles featured women of color on their September covers. This year, we’re at 11 (at press time), meaning that number has almost quadrupled.

Beyoncé really said it best in Vogue: “If people in powerful positions continue to hire and cast only people who look like them, sound like them, come from the same neighborhoods they grew up in, they will never have a greater understanding of experiences different from their own. They will hire the same models, curate the same art, cast the same actors over and over again, and we will all lose.”

Ahead, see all 11 September 2018 covers featuring black women.

How to Deal With Every Summer Skin Issue, From Sunburns to Bug Bites


Summer is the greatest—who would argue with that?—but between bug bites, sunburns, and breakouts, it’s hard for your skin to emerge entirely unscathed. As your clothes get smaller and the sun gets stronger, it’s crucial to pay extra-close attention to your skin regimen. From sun burns to bug bites, this is your guide to skin that will withstand the relentless summer elements.

The Issue: SUN-SCORCHED SKIN

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Prevention is key, and you know the sunscreen drill: Broad spectrum of at least SPF 30, a nickel-size amount for your face, a shot-glass-full for your body, and reapply every two hours or after sweating, swimming, or toweling off. But there’s more: “People who burn easily can take Heliocare,” says Shirley Chi, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist in Arcadia and Glendale, California. “It’s a supplement made from the polypodium leucotomos fern, an antioxidant.” Taken in the morning, studies show, it can help boost your skin’s ability to protect itself in the sun (but that’s no excuse to skip the sunscreen).

The minute you realize you’re developing a sunburn, get out of the sun “to reduce any further damage,” says Sejal Shah, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist inNew York City. “Then cool, soothe, and hydrate the skin.” A spring-water mist, cool compress, or aloe vera (either squeezed from the actual plant or a gel) can all be calming in those first hours. To speed recovery in the days after, resist any urge to pick at peeling skin, and apply a gentle moisturizer with ingredients that rebuild the skin’s barrier, like niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, or ceramides.

HOW A PRO CAN HELP

For a severe burn, topical prescription ointments such as mupirocin “can form a protective barrier over the skin and prevent infections in areas where it’s open or raw,” says Joshua Zeichner, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist in New York City.

The Issue: BODY BREAKOUTS

WHAT YOU CAN DO

If you’re getting acne on your back or chest, watch your postworkout routine. “Don’t run errands in sweaty workout clothes,” says Dr. Chi. “Change and shower as soon as you can—do not keep that sweat clogging your pores.” When you do shower, use a salicylic acid wash like Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash ($7, target.com), and if breakouts are severe, try a 10 percent benzoyl peroxide cleanser. Another weapon is the formerly prescription, now over-the-counter retinoid Differin Gel ($30, differin.com), says Dr. Chi; after you dry off, apply a thin layer to breakout-prone areas, and follow up with a light hydrator like Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion ($11, target.com), as retinoids, salicylic acid, and benzoyl peroxide can be drying. If you can’t shower immediately after a workout, clean skin with wipes or pads infused with salicylic or glycolic acid, says Dr. Shah.

HOW A PRO CAN HELP

Prescription retinoids like Tretinoin can tackle persistent breakouts; a series of blue-light treatments (about $70 a session, four to six weeks apart) will work tokill acne-causing bacteria, says Dr. Chi.

The Issue: TAN LINES AND BRUISES

WHAT YOU CAN DO

For fading tan lines, sunscreen vigilance is “totally key” to prevent tanned areas from getting darker, says Dr. Shah. Her favorites, like La Roche-Posay Anthelios 50 Mineral ($34, laroche-posay.us) and Avène Mineral Light Mattifying Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+ ($28, aveneusa.com), are lightweight and don’t leave a weird cast on darker skin tones. But if you tan easily, says Dr. Shah, “you gotta cover up more with sun-protective clothing.” (Dr. Chi loves Athleta rash guards: “They’re supercute—forget the bikini top!”)

If you’re trying to diminish a few bruises from your surfing weekend, try a cream with vitamin K or arnica. Dr. Shah also notes there’s evidence that vitamin C, an antioxidant, either taken internally or applied topically, can bring down inflammation. Self-tanner can temporarily mute the look of tan lines and bruises, says Dr. Chi; or try a full-coverage body concealer like Dermablend Quick-Fix Concealer Stick ($26, ulta.com).

HOW A PRO CAN HELP

There’s not much to be done in-office—your best bet is camouflaging, hastening the fading process, and then taking preventive measures (that means SPF).

The Issue: RASHES AND BITES

WHAT YOU CAN DO

For most itchy irritations, drugstore hydrocortisone cream—0.5 percent for your face, one percent for your body, used up to three times daily—is your best friend. And the same ingredients that help your skin recuperate after a sunburn work here to bring down redness. Dr. Shah likes copper-zinc-laced Avène Cicalfate Restorative Skin Cream ($28, aveneusa.com): “It’s a great healing balm.” An oatmeal bath like Aveeno Soothing Bath Treatment ($9, cvs.com) can also reduce inflammation. Once the rash or bug bites are handled, darker skin tones may have lingering hyperpigmentation; treat it with a brightening vitamin C serum or a spot-fading cream with soy extract. If you fall victim to razor burn, get a new razor (dull blades pull at hairs and cause irritation), and use a gentle, fragrance-free shaving cream.

HOW A PRO CAN HELP

“If a rash doesn’t go away in a week, see a board-certified dermatologist,” advises Dr. Chi. An M.D. can prescribe an antibiotic ointment or a pill for bacterial infections.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk Confirm Their Engagement in New Issue of 'Goop' Magazine


2018 is off to a great start for Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk. Not only are they the cover stars of Goop magazine’s second edition, but inside the new “Sex & Love”-themed issue, they’re finally confirming their engagement.

The magazine, which goes on sale this week, attacks its romantic theme from all angles. The issue’s main story is a “deeply personal conversation” between Paltrow and relationship psychologist Esther Perel about finding love the second time around. Elsewhere in the mag, besides features on romantic getaways, couple’s therapy, and “luxurious, toxin-free yoni products,” Jean Godfrey-June writes about the “intense and often fleeting energy” of crushes, and Jancee Dunn shares an essay about “the sad reality of the orgasm gap.” And in an accompanying online video, Falchuk will take Goop’s signature “How Goopy Are You?” quiz.

The cover of the magazine shows a beamin Paltrow being embraced from behind by Falchuk. In another image from the cover shoot, captured by Steven Pan, Falchuk holds Paltrow close and kisses her on the cheek while she grins at the camera and positions her hand just so to show off her engagement ring, which looks to be a simple band set with a huge circular gemstone.

Inside the second issue of her namesake magazine, Paltrow opens up about her “conscious uncoupling” from Chris Martin and impending second marriage to Falchuk. “Personally, at midlife, I have tried to accept how complex romantic love can be. I have decided to give it a go again, not only because I believe I have found the man I was meant to be with, but because I have accepted the soul-stretching, pattern-breaking opportunities that (terrifyingly) are made possible by intimacy,” she writes about Falchuk. “For the first time, I feel like I’m in an adult relationship that is sometimes very uncomfortable—because he sort of demands a certain level of intimacy and communication that I haven’t been held to before. What came up in the first couple of years of our relationship was how incapable I was in this realm—how I feared intimacy and communication.”

Ahead of their official engagement announcement inside Vol. 2 of Goop—and several weeks after Entertainment Tonight reported that they’ve actually been engaged for over a year—Paltrow and Falchuk confirmed the big news to Good Morning America on Monday. “We feel incredibly lucky to have come together at this juncture in our lives when our collective successes and failures can serve as building blocks for a healthy and happy relationship,” they said in a joint statement.

Read all about Paltrow and Falchuk’s relationship in the “Love & Sex” issue of Goop, available on newsstands and online on Tuesday, January 9 for $14.99.
