ELLE USA June 2026

Elle was founded in France in 1945 by Pierre Lazareff and his wife Hélène Gordon; later, in 1986, the U.S. edition was launched and became an immediate success. Today, Elle has become one of the most famous magazines on the global stage—consider that since its market launch, Elle USA has increased retail sales in North America by 55%. Covering fashion, beauty, health, and entertainment with its signature original and sophisticated flair, the magazine surprises with its ability to offer new perspectives on fashion. With the authority it wields each month, it helps millions of readers find or even create their own style by selecting bags, shoes, clothing, music, and runway highlights, as well as the looks of the trendiest American and international actors and singers, all from a global and dynamic perspective. In fact, Elle boasts over 4.8 million readers, the majority of whom (82%) are between the ages of 18 and 49, with an average age of 34. Currently owned by the Lagardère Group of France and published in the United States by Hachette Filipacchi Media U.S., Elle is the world's best-selling fashion magazine with the largest circulation, published in 39 editions across more than 60 countries.
