Supporting women at work has always been an important part of Stylist – not least because, when we launched, women were frustratingly underrepresented and underpaid. Over the past 13 years I have witnessed some positive changes – from gender pay gap reporting to the right to request flexible work – but it is depressing to discover that we are STILL being underpaid and underrepresented. Combine that with the work revolution we have all been part of post-pandemic, one that has not only turned the idea of 9-5 presenteeism on its head but led us all to challenge our own work identities, and it is clear there is still a lot to be done. Which is why this is my last editor’s letter because, like many of you, I’m making a career…

stylist advertorial How to have a gut-happy holiday Finally. The time has come where we start thinking about taking some well-earned time off. However that looks, whether it’s a long weekend spent hiking, a ‘do nothing’ beach package deal, a destination wedding or a staycation with pals – holiday season is open and we are so here for it. However, one thing that we don’t often consider while dusting off our espadrilles and popping into Boots for our bits, is the impact that travel can have on our bodies, and more specifically, our gut. Anyone who’s ever taken a long-haul flight will be more than familiar with the dreaded plane bloat. Plus, who doesn’t suffer a tummy upset when spending time in warmer climes? Luckily, help is at hand. We’ve…

Beauty There’s a make-up mutiny afoot. ‘Ugly’ beauty is on the march, a movement where eyeshadow is gleefully streaked across the face and chipped nails are a statement. Andrew Gallimore, make-up artist for Dior, shows us how it’s done BEAUTY: CASSIE STEER  PHOTOGRAPHY: BENJAMIN MADGWICK Pucker Punch “Here, we’re making something usually hidden, the lip line, the star of the show,” says make-up artist Andrew Gallimore. “The asymmetrical disconnect throws the eye, making it feel slightly surreal. It’s about having a bit of fun and approaching make-up through an artistic rather than beautifying lens.” the DisconnecT Think of this as your ‘zero f*cks feline flick’. “It’s defining the eye but not in the traditional sense,” says Gallimore. “When left to stand alone on the face it becomes more of an…

Halle bailey Halle Bailey is leading a new wave as Disney’s second-ever Black princess. The Little Mermaid star sits down with two young fans to talk empowerment and finding her voice Halle Bailey is crying. Seventeen-year-old Shannon is looking teary. Thirty-year-old Ebinehita is sobbing. I’m an emotional mess. It’s a lot of feelings for a Monday afternoon, but Disney’s newest heroine has been given a copy of Girlhood Unfiltered, an anthology of essays about the experience of Black girlhood, by its authors and it unlocked something deep. “Like in The Little Mermaid when Ariel’s voice was taken away, this book is our voice being given back to us,” says Faith, one of those authors. “We want to share it with you.” But let’s rewind and explain why we’re all here…

history makers More likely to stay on the sofa rewatching Gilmore Girls than march for a better world? You’re not alone – but now more than ever we must remember the power of protest We get it. The freedom fighter inside us all feels powerless right now. Being bombarded by news of inequality, climate catastrophe and war might have something to do with it. The fact we’re onto our second unelected prime minister doesn’t help either. The fact is, those who would like the status quo to go unchallenged – even if that means skyrocketing childcare costs and a rabid rental market – would love us to stay on our sofas doomscrolling. The rushing through of the Public Order Act in May, a bill restricting our right to protest in…

stylist advertorial Summer is finally here and the latest Stylist x LØCI collab has arrived. Here’s how you can get 20% off your very own pair… When it comes to sustainable fashion, the question is: can we have it all? Is it possible to step out in style without compromising our values?

modern family As children it seemed simple: meet your person, have a family. But what happens when you don’t meet that person but still desperately want a child? Stylist meets four single women who navigated their desire for parenthood in different ways For most of us, the expectation that we will one day become a mother is hard-baked into our earliest memories. While boys were being superheroes, girls were pushed towards dolls, dinky prams and fairy tales that repeated the same happily ever after: she got married and started a family of her own. What no one prepares us for is the possibility of not having this family unit one day, even when we really want it. Of course, not all of us do want it. Many of us grow…

The titles worthy of a place on your bedside table This Ragged Grace: A Memoir of Recovery and Renewal by Octavia Bright “I kept putting myself in danger, and I couldn’t make it stop. It rarely felt like a choice, though, of course, in some ways it was,” writes Octavia Bright in This Ragged Grace, a memoir that follows her journey to quitting drinking – and the troubling behaviour that led her there. We follow her as she falls off a motorcycle while drunk, badly injuring her leg – something that doesn’t deter her from carrying on the night of fun. We’re with her as her therapist tells her she should consider going to Alcoholics Anonymous – a person she doesn’t remember ever discussing her drinking with. And during the year…

The meaning of life in 23 probing questions What will the Black Mirror and Industry actor make of our existential questions? Being an adult is… Crazy. What are you worried about currently? I’m worried the WGA [Writers Guild of America] will have to strike for longer than is sustainable for individuals. But they will win so I’m really not ‘worried’ at all. If someone could reveal your future, would you want to know what would happen to you? On a basic level, like whether or not I live in my dream home, but anything more significant, no. I like surprises. When do you feel most alive? When I can be a support system for someone I love. How do you sleep? Like a baby. What is one thing you really…

A ONE-DAY DIARY FROM FLAT WHITE TO LIGHTS OUT Helen is a beekeeper, founder of Highgate Honey and secretary of the North London Beekeepers. She lives in north London with her husband, two children and puppy, Freyja I’m the first in my house to wake up. My alarm typically goes off around 6.30am, which I follow quickly with a cup of tea. Even though she’s 15 and probably doesn’t need me to, I like to walk my daughter to school each morning through the park. It’s a really nice start to my day as I can keep an eye on which trees are coming into flower. The horse chestnuts are just starting, so I already know there will be a good source of forage for my bees. My countryside…

stylist advertorial Stylist joined forces with Veet to discover how women feel about their body hair in 2023. Here’s what they said Love it, hate it, remove it, embrace it, dye it pink: when it comes to body hair, we think it’s fair to say that our relationship with it is, well… personal. From the embarrassment of PE changing rooms to hideous waxing experiences (everybody has one), to more celebrities choosing to celebrate their au naturel armpits, the subject of body hair continues to push boundaries and spark debate. Whether that’s in the media, as a societal movement or, possibly, within our own journey towards self-acceptance. That’s why Stylist partnered with hair removal brand Veet to find out more about how women* are feeling when it comes to their body…
