Meghan Markle Is the First-Ever Guest Editor of British Vogue's September Issue!

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex (AKA Meghan Markle) is taking on a new role – as the guest editor of British Vogue‘s highly coveted September issue, out on newsstands on August 2.

Editor-in-chief Edward Enninful revealed that the Duchess is the first person to guest-edit the September Issue of British Vogue.

“To have the country’s most influential beacon of change guest edit British Vogue at this time has been an honour, a pleasure and a wonderful surprise. As you will see from her selections throughout this magazine, she is also willing to wade into more complex and nuanced areas, whether they concern female empowerment, mental health, race or privilege. From the very beginning, we talked about the cover – whether she would be on it or not. In the end, she felt that it would be in some ways a ‘boastful’ thing to do for this particular project. She wanted, instead, to focus on the women she admires,” he explained.

The women Meghan selected to appear on the cover are: Adwoa Aboah, Adut Akech, Ramla Ali, Jacinda Ardern, Sinead Burke, Gemma Chan, Laverne Cox, Jane Fonda, Salma Hayek Pinault, Francesca Hayward, Jameela Jamil, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Yara Shahidi, Greta Thunberg, Christy Turlington Burns – and you, the reader, represented by a mirror.

“Guest Editing the September issue of British Vogue has been rewarding, educational and inspiring. To deep dive into this process, working quietly behind the scenes for so many months, I am happy to now be able to share what we have created. A huge thanks to all of the friends who supported me in this endeavour, lending their time and energy to help within these pages and on the cover. Thank you for saying ‘Yes!’- and to Edward, thank you for this wonderful opportunity,” Meghan said on her Instagram.

Yara Shahidi Brings 'Stan Lee's Alliances: A Trick of Light' to Comic-Con!

Yara Shahidi stops by Audible’s Stan Lee’s Alliances: A Trick of Light Experience at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday (July 20) in San Diego, Calif.

The experience is a series of immersive light and sound-driven installations, inspired by the new audible original.

Yara actually narrates the audiobook, which is described as a way for listeners to unleash the power of their own imagination and bring to life an epic superheroes’ origins story set within a tech-centric, highly connected world unnervingly reminiscent of our own.

The audiobook was one of Stan Lee’s final collaborations before his death.

FYI: Yara is wearing a Zimmermann outfit, Sophia Webster shoes, and Ammanii earrings.

Yara Shahidi Goes Natural in Unretouched 'Harper's Bazaar' Photo Shoot

Yara Shahidi is a natural beauty in a her completely unretouched photo shoot for the August issue of Harper’s Bazaar, on newsstands July 23.

Here’s what the 19-year-old actress had to share with the mag:

On why she signed on for politically tinged The Sun Is Also a Star: “It’s not often that we see a story that humanizes immigration for a young audience.”

On her off-duty style—track suits: “By not showing skin, I’m making a statement.”

On being the new face of Bobbi Brown and the brand’s newly expanded shade range: “I love that more brands are doing this. There have been times when I got out of the makeup chair and my skin looked gray. It’s why I think every single person of color usually brings their own makeup kit to set.”
