Your inbox is crowded. Every publication, brand and creator offers a newsletter, and we don't take our place among them lightly. That's why we're re-inventing our offering to make it even more, well, essential: one newsletter, all of the BBC, just once a week. The Essential List, our Friday dispatch, has had an upgrade. If you've already subscribed, you're used to seeing a selection of our long-read features that are perfect for weekend reading.

You know that giddy flush that’s all “ooh, someone smells sexy nearby” that gets you a little light in the feet looking around to see who it might be? I experience that several times a day — and it’s not because I’m often standing in a crowd of above-average people (I stopped riding the subway daily in 2020).

Cover star Shania Twain says her songs belong to everybody, influencer David Lopez builds empathy through beauty, Vic Mensa celebrates the diaspora — being “in” isn’t about exclusivity anymore, it’s about making meaning for everyone. InStyle’s mantra is “Everybody’s in,” and that means we work to make sure anyone who finds their way to our stories can find themselves reflected in them. It means the worlds we cover look like the world we inhabit and all its gorgeous diversity.
