About Us
Who We Are
InStyle is your source for fashion, beauty, celebrity, and lifestyle content that delights, informs, and entertains. If there's a new denim silhouette, you'll find it here — as well as a delicate explanation for why it might be stressing people out. We get first dibs on new beauty products and only share what's worth a try, with ingredient breakdowns and step-by-step routines to follow. We question everything and let you know which brands can back up their bona fides ("clean" and "sustainable" are words that mean things, and we don't let anyone skate past with greenwashed jargon).
On InStyle, fashion and beauty's best-kept secrets are shared, and velvet-rope access opens wide with a joyful and celebratory ethos. Inclusivity — real, meaningful representation — is at the heart of everything we do, from our editorial team and freelance contributors to the celebrity faces you see on our site and the brand founders, designers, and owners we choose to cover.
Whether you're here to discover clothing trends, beauty looks, or for our analysis of the cultural moments behind all of that, we want you to see yourself reflected on our pages and leave (if you must) with a smile.

Our Editorial Policy
InStyle is a trusted and authoritative voice in the celebrity, beauty, and style space. We go straight to the source — celebrities, stylists, dermatologists, and more — for the facts behind a story, ensuring accuracy every step of the way. We never cover unsubstantiated rumors or give unfounded advice. In the event an error slips through our rigorous processes, or a developing story changes after we've published it, we will update the article to reflect the best information available at the time. Timestamps are marked as "updated" whenever a story has been republished, and when the situation calls for it, an Editor's Note will be added to explain the change. We believe in transparency and are working to ensure every author on InStyle has a robust bio page, so our readers can get to know the people behind the stories they love.
Read more on our Content Integrity Promise, including our policies on Fact Checking, Independence, and Impartiality and Accuracy and Corrections here.
Product Reviews and Recommendations
At InStyle, part of our mission is to find best-in-class buys that are worth your time, money, and attention. Our commerce editors and writers comprise decades of expertise across beauty, fashion, and lifestyle.
In addition to relying on our own expertise, we tap industry experts — from celebrity hair stylists to top dermatologists — to help readers make the best purchasing decisions for their lifestyle. Brands may send us products to try for editorial consideration, but we will never accept a product in exchange for positive coverage (or guarantee coverage at all) and we are always transparent when we’ve received a sample. We may receive affiliate commissions on products purchased through our content, but our reviews and recommendations are purely editorial. Learn more about our commerce guidelines, here.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
InStyle’s mantra is “Everybody’s in,” and that means we work to make sure anyone who finds their way to our stories can find themselves reflected in them. It means the worlds we build and share look like the world we inhabit in real life and all its gorgeous diversity — that of race and ethnicity; hair type and skin tone; size, shape, ability, age, and gender expression.
This goes for our team behind the scenes, too. We prioritize finding the right writer and photographer, hair and makeup artists, stylists, and more to tell each story authentically and sensitively. Read more about our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, here.
