Episode 3: Jenna Lyons What The ELLE?

    • Fashion & Beauty

Jenna Lyons is just getting started. Having made her name as one of American fashion's most formidable figures (and best dressed women), Jenna Lyons shocked the fashion world by stepping down from her role as president of J. Crew in 2017. Having shaped the way women dress for almost three decades, she decided to try her hand at a slew of other projects, among them a TV series and a beauty line (Loveseen, a line of cruelty-free, natural-looking fake eyelashes). What nobody could have predicted was that Lyons would join the reboot of the Bravo hit reality series The Real Houseewives of New York. It was a coup for Bravo, but also, unexpectedly, for Lyons herself, who became an instant fan favourite and global pop culture sensation, inspiring a million TikTok posts and just as many Halloween costumes. For this episode of What the ELLE? Grace catches up with Jenna to discuss the changing nature of how we consume fashion, Jenna's time on Housewives, how her experience with a rare genetic disorder lead her to create Loveseen, and more.
