First published in 1939, the magazine showcases popular celebrities on its cover each month and draws its fashion and beauty advice inspiration from them. Much of Glamour's content is focused on celebrities, fashion and beauty trends, and relationships and health, but the magazine also regularly covers current events, relevant topics, and stories from real women.

Popular features in the magazine include: "Fashion Do's and Don'ts," advice using examples of the best and worst in fashion; "The Get," a sneak peek into the next big fashion must-have; "Designer Crush," a profile on a top fashion designer; "Shop Our Shoots," where to find the newest trends in every issue at a price you can afford; "Best in Beauty," picks straight from the magazine's beauty editors; and "The Glamour List," a fun list of advice that can be applied to everything from relationships to holiday parties. Throughout the year, Glamour may publish several special issues devoted to seasonal style and culture, such as the "Women of the Year Issue," "Fall Fashion Issue," "The Music Issue," "The Swimsuit Issue," "Spring Fashion Issue," and "The Holiday Style Issue."

Women who want advice on everything from transforming their closets to their love lives and their health will find it in a Glamour magazine subscription!
