 here at Glamour we like to cheer women on. Female CEOs, female athletes, female firefighters; women who stick their neck out for things they care about—we’re for them. It’s in our job description! And when institutions don’t recognize the value of women, we cry foul. Sorry, Congress, but four men to every woman? Super outdated. Fortune 500 list, 19 male CEOs to every lady? NOT OK. So it was with some concern that earlier this fall I read the following statistics: Only 37 percent of the photographers we were using in our own print pages were female, and 32 percent of the hairstylists. (Forty-nine percent of makeup artists were female, but dismayingly the ratio got lower as the story got bigger.) While we employed female writers almost exclusively, the visual…

If the circumstance ever presented itself, anyone could pick Katy Perry out of a lineup. She of the over-the-top rainbow wardrobe is iconic for being uniquely loud and vibrant—even if it used to cost her a spot on some best-dressed lists. “For a long time I’ve been a bit of a parody of fashion,” says Perry, adding proudly, “but I’ve never been in a clique.” Now the industry is coming around to her point of view: “There’s nota whole lot of blending in anymore,” she says. “I’m glad that fashion is getting a little bit more lighthearted.” She’s happy to help in that department with her new line, Katy Perry Footwear, a collection of 40 shoe styles ranging from platform heels to sneakers and shower slides. (And they won’t break…

my first go at curly bangs didn’t work out. I was in third grade and cut them myself. They sprang up in an awkward, too-short way, so, alone in the bathroom again, I lopped them off altogether. (Think face-framing buzz cut.) I began to suspect that bangs were not for me, that the loose, Birkin-y fringe I wanted was just not for people with curly hair. These days the beauty culture has shifted. Models like Mica Arganaraz and Alanna Arrington, above, are showing off their natural, air-dried texture in modern cuts with curly, longish bangs that you can play up or push to the side. It’s what I have now too, in my second (more successful) attempt at curly bangs some 20 years later. A couple things: Get your best…

My individual approach to beauty: I definitely felt awkward growing up; I wanted to fit in. Now I kind of strive not to fit in. I just don’t have any qualms about looking different or not being what I thought was this stereotypical beauty. I feel insecure at times, but I work on going with the f low and embracing those feelings. My self- esteembuilding outlet: I started modeling at 17. It was a slow process, and I only really gave it a go when I was able to find the confidence. With Gurls Talk [an online community at gurlstalk.com], we’re empowering young women to feel comfortable being themselves. Through our Instagram [@gurlstalk], our site, and school events, Gurls Talk celebrates the fact that it’s all right to have self-doubt…

“I admire women who shine in maledominated fields and then pull up other women with them. My personal heroes are Hillary Clinton, Ellen DeGeneres, Amy Poehler, and the woman currently developing a TV project with me— Wanda Sykes!” —Lianna Carrera, who wrote “A Tale of Two Sisters,” page 69 “My mother is a driving force in my success. Her encouragement and support sustain me and keep me sane.” —Shanita Sims, who shot the athleisure looks in “Changing the Game,” page 110 “Every mom who’s supported my efforts to spotlight the genocide of Syrian children gets me through the toughest days.” —S.E. Cupp, near right, who co-moderates the political roundtable on page 77 with Krystal Ball, far right “I’m powered by S.E.! She’s smart, principled, and funny as heck.” —K.B. “I…

when I asked you, Glamour readers, what you’d like to see next in the Style Your Size column, I kept hearing one thing: how to find a pair of jeans that fit properly. No more gapping, sagging, or chafing. No more guessing if a store has your size. And definitely no more tearful fitting-room trips. (Speaking from experience on that last one.) As someone who tends to avoid jeans for all those reasons, I felt your pain. So I challenged myself and two other women to find the best pairs for our different bodies. Charli Howard, a size-6 model; Kellie Brown, a size-24 blogger at andigetdressed.com; and I, a size 14, each took on the mission. We went to boutiques, department stores, and thrift shops in New York City, tried…

last October, when First Lady Michelle Obama showed up to her final state dinner in a (now legendary) rose gold chain mail Atelier Versace number, it was the mic drop heard around the world. Yes, the dress was next-level glam, but as all beauty devotees instantly noted, her makeup slayed. Those smoky lids! That glowy skin! The overall awesomeness created by Carl Ray, her longtime behind-the-scenes makeup artist! As Mrs. Obama’s historic run as First Lady drew to a close, we sat down with Ray to get intel on everything from her go-to makeup product to the trickiest look they’d ever pulled off together (hint: It involved a shaky plane landing). Listen in. GLAMOUR: With the First Lady, you’ve created some of the last decade’s most celebrated looks. Was makeup…

we’re totally pro women here. Obviously. But dating and loving men has a way of unearthing the kind of little feminist dilemmas that make you wonder, at least fleetingly, how bendable your principles are. (For instance, a perfect boyfriend, except that occasionally, after a couple of Hornitos shots, he refers to women as numbers. Keep him? Ditch him? What to do?) You could ask an expert with a Ph.D. Or you could hit up the very Brooklyn-cool crowd that is GRLCVLT—an invite-only sisterly hive of 2,700 smart, feminist women, most in their twenties and thirties, who meet in a private Facebook group and IRL to hash out everything from cultural appropriation to inappropriate sex. “It’s so great to have access to women with different experiences,” says founder Remy Holwick, 35,…

No one understood roadblocks to social progress quite like Lucretia Mott and Sojourner Truth. The nineteenth-century activists risked their lives crusading for a woman’s right to vote—but didn’t live to see the Nineteenth Amendment pass. Would those pioneers give up on the idea of a female president in the aftermath of 2016? Their descendants say: No way. Lucretia Mott would consider Hillary’s loss a victory. “My fifth-great-grandmother Lucretia Mott helped organize the first-ever women’s rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848. Her tenacity earned her the nickname the Lioness of the Convention. Lucretia said, ‘Any great change must expect opposition, because it shakes the very foundation of privilege.’ [Hillary Clinton’s loss] was a letdown, but how close she got is a victory. I’ve seen her influence all around…

Bellies Overnight (or after having three kids) my body changed. There was a moment—I could either let this “new” me affect my life in a negative or a positive way. I chose the positive, which for me is this picture, which I took with Barnaby two weeks after my C-section. I want my sons to see that this is what the majority of women look like and we shouldn’t be made to feel shame. —Chara Jackson, an illustrator and mother of three, including Barnaby, left Curves We’re fed the cultural narrative that bigger boobs are sexier—if they’re accompanied by a tiny waist. That smaller boobs are desirable only on a petite body. That there’s a right and a wrong nipple shape. It’s taken me a long while to unlearn those…

as a duo, we take inspiration from many sources: soapy network dramas, large bowls of pasta served after midnight, the perfect pair of white sneakers, neon signs. But our biggest joy is to learn about—and exult in—the hard work of other women. Here are nine such forces whose contributions to the arts, advocacy, and the written word embolden us on a daily basis. We are thrilled to share these ladies with you—and now to have a glossy collage of them to pin to our office walls. (Not sorry. Heroine worship is a healthy part of one’s day.) —Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner Greta Lee We’ve been obsessed with the Inside Amy Schumer star and comedy writer, 33, since Lena saw her onstage in 2012. Why do you do what you…

“On set, I do everything! Hair, makeup, nose hair...” —Kim Verbeck groomer Kim Verbeck, 46, and actor Jon Hamm, 45, started working together long before Don Draper was even a thing. “It was 2006, on an Interview magazine shoot, and Mad Men hadn’t yet debuted,” says Hamm. “Kimmy has been ‘my people’ ever since.” GLAMOUR: What’s the best part about working with Jon? KIM VERBECK: Jon’s very loyal. And he’s always on time. JON HAMM: Some boys are particular about how they look. I’m not. GLAMOUR: There isn’t anything you are particular about, Jon? JH: I’ve always had weird hair, and it’s never looked good. KV: So wrong! All I do is add dry shampoo—it gives it body. JH: It’s funny when guys don’t like to talk about makeup. I’m…

Hot Takes on Our Winners… @gwenstefani captured my heart 26+ years ago—she was nvr “just a girl.” Congrats lady! —@early winters, via Twitter Kudos for honoring the Stanford sexual assault survivor as a Woman of the Year. What happened to her should not define her. I hope her eloquent words now will. —Nancy Maleki, Canton, Mich. So proud! Thank you @glamourmag for recognizing these beautiful and brave black pioneers! #BlackLives Matter! #ForTheLoveOfBlackGirls! —@UniquelyUSummit, via Twitter I risk my life every day as a police officer. I do not ask for praise—I love my job. But I am out on Black Lives Matter protests all the time. It’s all derived by hate, yet you glorify the women of Black Lives Matter. I’m very disappointed. —Tara, Philadelphia Many of you took issue…

back in middle school band class, I saw my first Hayao Miyazaki film and fell in love with anime. From there, I discovered my favorite series, Peach Girl, by wandering into a Japanese bookstore. And in college I took a manga course in Tokyo and may or may not have played Pikachu in a Pokémon musical (or rather, Mew-sical). But anime isn’t just nostalgic for me; it’s part of my beauty persona. I’ll never quite identify with the bombshell type, but wide-eyed, occasionally clumsy Sailor Moon? Any day. Here, my go-to essentials for feeling like a Sailor Scout on the regular. For glowing skin: (1) SK-II Gen-Optics Aura Essence ($240, sk-ii.com), followed by (2) Herbivore Botanicals Moon Fruit Superfruit Night Treatment ($58, sephora.com). For ethereal highlights: (3) Milk Makeup Holographic…

there are entire books—OK, an entire cottage industry—on how to ask for a raise. And yes, without one you could lose out on hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of your career. But it drives me nuts that so many personal-finance writers imply a raise is the only thing that matters. For some women, what I call the “gender investing gap” (women are less likely to invest than men) may cost even more. That’s why I believe the best career advice is this: Invest your money. It may be the most important career move you ever make. We women default to keeping some 68 percent of our savings in checking and savings accounts instead of in diversified investment portfolios that historically yield higher returns over time. Why does…

watching 20th Century Women—which the director Mike Mills calls “a love letter to my mom and sisters” in the late seventies— I couldn’t help but think, This movie is so now. Annette Bening, 58, plays Dorothea, a resilient single mother on a mission to better raise her son, Jamie (newcomer Lucas Jade Zumann). She enlists her artistic tenant Abbie (Greta Gerwig, 33) and Jamie’s crush, Julie (Elle Fanning, 18), to teach him about love, punk music, and the female orgasm. (You know, the essentials.) What we get is a hilariously honest portrait of three women at different stages in life. I sat down with the stars to talk about love and feminism. GLAMOUR: Elle, in one scene your character schools Dorothea, who is 40 years her senior, on how to…

Spotlight: Ursula Stephen Women [hairstylists] and other creative talent can present a more realistic view on things and a more diverse take. When I first started working with Rihanna, there was this whole big deal about her changing her hair. Men want to see sexy, long hair— and there are all these restrictions about how artists can and can’t wear their hair because the people at the top of the recording industry are male. We actually had to get permission to cut Rihanna’s short. Everyone loved it! And we changed the model of what an artist “should” look like.… I think if there were more women at the top, it would be OK to straight-up “do you!” Ursula Stephen is a hairstylist and owner of Ursula Stephen The Salon.

Hot Spots Model Jasmine Sanders (@golden_barbie) proves that classic red and animal prints are all good together. Fine Lines Closet hack: Take your button-downs into weekend territory with a track jacket. Sports Authority Athleisure pieces feel more dressed up with a touch of sparkle and shine. Case in point: this gold cap and beaded jersey-style shirt. Throw ’em on with your favorite denim. Strings Attached Make a statement piece, like these fringe and mesh pants, work for day with a cozy sweater and—when you’re not at the beach—sneakers. Go Long Weirdly compelling style combination: floral dress with oversize windbreaker. Who knew? Bright Idea Yes, that’s a lot of yellow. Tone down head-to-toe brights with different patterns, a flash of skin, and your favorite black accessories.…

Sweetheart Chic The classic neckline lives on! Try it in black velvet paired with cuffed denim, high-shine earrings, and sleek pumps for a modern take on the eighties standby. Power Dressing The statement jacket in 2017: sequins, beading, and (slightly smaller) shoulder pads. Wear with a T-shirt, pale pink denim, silver hoops, and majorly teased hair. Blush-Toned Lids Ultralight denim complements this very Blondie makeup vibe. To copy it, start with rose-color powder on the inner corners of eyes, buff along the crease, then blend straight up into the brow. staz Lindes has a thing for the past. Ask her about her favorite music and you’ll get a mini lesson in the history of rock ’n’ roll. “There was this dirty-rock thing before The Beatles were around,” she explains. “And…

1 That your partner will be able to read your mind. Not all the time. But when you need a dish of caramel swirl (with side of cookie) and the kitchen is sooo far from the couch. Then. 2 That laundry, lawn mowing, and other household jobs won’t be divided along traditional gender lines. Except maybe when rodents are involved. 3 That your partner will understand that you and your vibrator were happy together before you two met and you intend to maintain that relationship… 4 …ditto all friendships 5 That he’ll listen. Just listen. Fixing mostly not required. 6 That your S.O. will understand that your family is the best. Also the worst. Sometimes in the same hour. Doesn’t need to be a reason. 7 That your weird college…
