EDITOR’S LETTER

Marie Claire

CONTRIBUTORS • We asked some of the creators behind this issue’s stories to share who or what inspires their craft. Here’s what they had to say.

WORTH IT • Fourteen women shaping culture on the fashion and beauty items they can’t live without.

FINGER FOOD

BEST IN CLASS • Forget dominating an entire fashion industry. These brands are satisfied with perfecting a single category.

THE HAIRBRUSH RENAISSANCE IS HERE • Never mind the cheap drugstore options you have stashed in a drawer. The latest wave of beautifully crafted brushes are a return to a bygone era of beauty.

ABOUT FACE • From very fancy lasers to bone-shaving surgery, there’s no shortage of options when it comes to tweaking our jawlines. But as treatments become easier to obtain, should we be taking a harder look at the side effects?

WHAT WOULD YOU PAY TO SMELL LIKE ONE IN EIGHT BILLION? • One bottle can run tens of thousands of dollars and take months to make. But for luxury fragrance connoisseurs, bespoke scents are well worth the money.

THE MELANCHOLIC SOUND OF SUCCESS • After publishing a best-selling memoir and receiving two Grammy nominations for her album Jubilee, Michelle Zauner (also known as Japanese Breakfast) still felt sad—so she decided to write about it.

THE FUNNY GIRL • Keyla Monterroso Mejia had always thought of herself as a Hollywood outsider. But with a handful of big-deal projects that debut this year, she’s realizing the joke may be on her.

SALMA RUNS THE SHOW • Don’t call it a renaissance. Or some mid-career, midlife metamorphosis. The actress is doing what she’s always done: dominate.

TINASHE IN BLOOM • The singer has always bet on herself, an independent artist and a viral hitmaker who writes her own songs and dances to her own beat. Now, after a year of record fame, she’s contemplating what comes next.

HIDDEN GEMS • Look closely at these watches, bracelets, and necklaces to uncover the quiet genius of secret compartments and tucked-away messages.

TOP FORM • From unconventional layering to unexpected fabrics—this season’s spring collections are all about mixing things up.

PRESENTING THE 2025 PRIX D’EXCELLENCE AWARDS • To bring you this year’s best new beauty products, our team of editors from around the world tried and tested hundreds of the latest launches. The winners—six international and nine American brands—feature the most innovative formulas and breakthrough ingredients that yield exceptional results. Trust us, they’re worth a try.

THE MOMS ON A MISSION TO SAVE “FROZEN CHILDREN” • They believe embryos are living beings waiting to be rescued. And they’ll do whatever it takes to do just that.

THE ARTIST’S WAY • From New Mexico landscapes to a remote Norwegian island, these retreats offer the perfect place to focus on your creativity.

SHOPPING DIRECTORY

CALL TO ACTION • With extreme weather events happening more and more frequently, it can be hard to know how to best support those affected. Here, seven people who’ve experienced a climate disaster share what they wish others knew.
