If your chest tightens at the mere thought of being added to another group chat with a price-tag attached, then this week’s digital cover story (✍️ by me) is for you
This week's digital cover (our relaunch) is a good one. If you've felt conflicted about your sudden, all-consuming interest in Barbie (or Oppenheimer, getting T Swift tickets, the Uniqlo crossbody bag etc etc) this unpicks how 2023 became the year of hype. A fascinating read
“I simply don’t know if I’ll be able to afford to have a child before my ‘biological clock’ – that misogynist tyrant – runs out.”
This week’s digi cover story, by
@EloiseHendy
, on how a generation women are being priced out of motherhood is an important read
"What I thought I'd get out of therapy was a place to vent. What I got instead was a serious reality check." This week's cover story (by
@meenalexander
) is a must-read for anyone who has ever struggled with wanting to please everyone/therapy/what it means to be 'good'
UK WRITERS 🗣🗣 I’m looking for someone who hasn’t been able to see their mum for the last year because of COVID for a Stylist feature. If that’s you (and you’re a journo), please drop me a line. Hannah.keegan

Late sharing this, but for last week’s
@StylistMagazine
cover I explored whether the pandemic has killed the nine to five (pls god) and what this means for the future of the office. Available to read on Apple News+ and the Stylist app
I wrote this week’s cover story about finding pleasure where we can in the midst of a pandemic (in the waxy casing of a babybel, a soupy pot noodle, a slice of banana bread wolfed down between Zoom calls etc etc). Thank you to

@Chloegracelaws
interview with
@jennettemccurdy
for Stylist Extra is well worth your time today
Last week we launched our second Stylist Extra cover. In response to the Florence Pugh dress fiasco,
@rosalindjana
explored how we’ve viewed nipples historically (from 16th century artwork to Janet Jackson’s infamous Super Bowl moment) and when, exactly, they became so offensive
“I needed to be beige. I needed to not be there. I needed to be wearing this skin-coloured outfit and disappear to let the characters appear.” This is a lovely interview about clothes and creativity (by

@StylistMagazine
is hiring📣
We're looking for TWO new writers to work across digital and print, exploring all the issues (and the fun things) that matter to women in 2023.
APPLY HERE PLS:
Probably the only celeb-on-celeb interview I’ve ever enjoyed. Feels like Julia Roberts calls for a light chat and gets Cate Blanchett in the midst of an existential crisis. A treat!
“I’m still pissed off that my ability to be out in the world was repressed.” I chatted with Helen Mirren about street harassment (her experiences, what needs to change) for this week’s
@StylistMagazine
If you know me, you know I DIE for a bonkers wellness retreat. It was fun to spend five days reporting on one of the most exclusive (and bizarre, naturally) earlier this year
For the past month or so we have been publishing short stories at Stylist, this week’s is by
@DaniellePender
(whose brilliant debut collection Watching Women & Girls) is out v. soon. Read and enjoy!
“A writer of tart, acidic observation has been turned into an influencer: revered for her aesthetic, and for her arsenal of life-style tips.” This, on Nora Ephron (by
@rachsyme
), is so good
Late to post...but as Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirror Rooms comes to the Tate Modern (sold out in 48hrs but there’s another release of tickets in Sept), I wrote about the woman behind the hype for this week’s Stylist cover
"Astrologically, Saturn is known as a cruel planet of tough love... Its methods are often aggressive, ruthless even." Astrology lovers, you're going to want to read
@marianne_eloise
on the dreaded Saturn return
"I remember being taught how to read the time on a clock and being devastated. I couldn't understand why nobody else was upset about it." This conversation between Ottessa Moshfegh and
@aliceazania
is a delight
For this week’s
@StylistMagazine
, I interviewed Daisy Ridley. We talked about life after Star Wars, spirituality & the most wonderful time of the year.
Jenna Lyons thought she could do reality TV on her own terms. Then she joined the Real Housewives!!!! My story for Sunday Styles, reported while she filmed the new reboot season
.
@JoannaCannon
wrote a brilliant essay on the return of the agoraphobia she’d suffered with as a teenager during lockdown, and her journey to recovery
I went to
#InGoopHealth
, where I lay on my back and screamed, got to interview Princess Gwyneth herself and thought about what it all meant. It was MAD.
Read about it here...🧘🏼♀️
