Glamour (magazine)

In August 1943, the magazine changed its name to Glamour, with the subtitle for the girl with the job.^[3] The magazine was published in a larger format than most of its contemporaries at the time. Charm, a Street & Smith magazine, started in 1941,^[5] later subtitled "the magazine for women who work", was folded into Glamour magazine in 1959.^[6][7][8]

Glamour was the first women's magazine to feature an African-American cover girl when it included Katiti Kironde on the cover of its college issue in August 1968.^[9][2]

Since 1990, the magazine has held an annual "Woman of the Year" awards ceremony.^[10]

On January 8, 2018, it was announced that Samantha Barry, previously the Head of Social Media and Emerging Media at CNN, would be the new Editor-in-Chief of Glamour.^[11]

In November 2018, Glamour announced that its print edition would cease with its January 2019 issue in order to focus on its digital presence.^[12][2]

In 2023 the magazine featured Logan Brown, a pregnant transgender man on the cover.^{[13][14][15][16]}

Beginning in 1957, the magazine selected a top ten list of outstanding college women across the country. Originally, the list was composed of the best dressed college juniors in America, but was changed for more substance with categories such as academic achievement, community service, and career goals as leading criteria.^[17] Hundreds of college juniors apply each year. Past winners and finalists include Martha Stewart, Diane Sawyer, and Swati Mia Saini.^[18][19]

Each autumn, the magazine organizes the "Glamour Women of the Year Awards", which recognize women in the public eye.^[20][21] In 2007, golfer Lorena Ochoa won the award.^[22] In 2008, the award was bestowed on two Yemenis: 10-year-old divorcee Nujood Ali, and the lawyer who took on her case.^[23][24] Nujood's courage was praised at the award ceremony by prominent attendees, including Hillary Clinton and Condoleezza Rice.^[25] The 2010 Glamour Woman of the Year was Cher and the 2016 Glamour Woman of the Year was Zendaya.

Glamour launched in the UK in April 2001, where it pioneered the "handbag size" format, with the tagline "fits in your life as well as your handbag". Each September, the magazine held "National Glamour Week", when it featured extra coupons and competitions. In 2016, Glamour UK launched the Glamour Beauty Festival, on a new off-page beauty event featuring demonstrations, treatments and speakers.^[26]

From its launch to the final traditional issue in November 2017, the magazine was edited by Jo Elvin, with Michelle Pamment serving as acting editor briefly in 2005.^[27] In June 2009, to celebrate Glamour's eighth birthday in the UK, Glamour.com made a gallery of every cover since its launch.^[28] In October 2017, following declining sales, it was announced that publication of the monthly UK edition would end at the end of 2017, and that the UK version would be a semi-annual publication.^[29][30] In November 2017, Deborah Joseph was appointed Chief Content Officer of Glamour UK.^[31]

The Italian edition of Glamour was launched in December 1976, under the title Lei (She), then officially renamed Glamour, like its U.S. counterpart, in 1992.^[32][33][34] The Russian edition was established in 2004, and is published monthly.^[35]

Content from the Condé Nast magazine Lucky, which offered fashion and shopping advice, was periodically included on the Glamour website.^[65][66] Since Lucky ceased operations in 2015, the website has continued to feature shopping tips under a section titled "Lucky Magazine".^[67]
