5 reasons to buy the new October Issue

Look who’s back…

Britney’s back.

She’s been performing in Vegas for three years, and now the multi platinum-selling, international pop star is back, and looking better than ever. In our exclusive cover interview, Britney talks candidly about motherhood, dating and diet (Spoiler alert: she’s a big fan of sushi).

Hello magazine redesign!

Oh yeah, you’re not just getting Britney, you’re also getting a piece of the all-new Marie Claire design, and she’s a beauty. Intricate design touches, a new colour palette and fresh pages – the new October issue is an Instagrammers dream.

Join our #ShareTheLight campaign

To raise awareness of the troubling fact that less than a third of school children worldwide are girls, and that there are 33 million fewer girls than boys in primary school, we have launched our new #ShareTheLight campaign, partnering up with beauty brand L'Occitane and girls education charity Plan International UK to create a special candle, 100% of the profits of which will help fund girls' education worldwide. You can buy the candle here (it smells amazing!), and find out more about our new initiative here.

#ShoesFirst is back!

The #ShoesFirst special was first inspired by a Marie Claire Editor who revealed that she styles her entire outfit around her choice of footwear every morning. So, in honour of everyone’s favourite accessories, we've put shoes at the forefront of Marie Claire’s agenda for the October issue.
