KO Média is thrilled to unveil the Summer 2023 issue of ELLE Canada, featuring rising superstar Barbie Ferreira. The young actor talks about growing up in New York City, landing a role in the hit series Euphoria and keeping a bright outlook for the future: “I dreamt of this time; it’s my time. I’m open to anything, really, as long as it has a good script and a great director and just good vibes. I’m looking for things that are a little bit different from what I’ve done before.”

We speak with a lot of passionate people in this issue, like up-and-coming actor Rachel Marsh from Netflix’s charming sitcom Unstable and the co-creator of the intentionally cringey comedy series Pen15, Anna Konkle. We chat with the Canadian-born comedy star of The Other Two, Heléne Yorke, triple-threat actor-author-activist Skai Jackson and the nose behind Chanel’s fragrances, Olivier Polge, who tells us about his good scents.

Our editors keep the style department packed with the Summer Shopping Guide, including beach-ready essentials, ’90s-inspired cargo pants, slinky sequined styles for nights out, denim everything and festival-ready pieces inspired by our favourite pop stars. We showcase plenty of our favourite trends, from keeping things pretty in pink to suiting up and going grunge, and also serve up sporty looks with tennis-inspired fashions, dip into inclusive and ethical swimwear brands and ask ourselves if celebrity stunt styles have gone too far.

Summer calls for its own set of beauty rules, so we lay out our best tips for protecting hair and skin all season long, from sunscreens to serums. We talk deep-clean with the return of face balms and tell you how to get the hottest celeb hairstyles for warm-weather months, including warm blonds and bobs galore. We also tour the L’Oréal Paris lab to see what goes into ensuring that our locks stay in tip-top shape, show you some beauty essentials for road-tripping and learn how to run the right way with personal trainer and owner of The Studio MTL, Val Desjardins.

On the lifestyle front, we look at how the de-hoarding community can help manage a messy space and we sit at the table with some female rising stars of professional poker, rekindle a love for reading with top summer book picks and paint the town blue—one of the season’s coolest hues. Our writers also let us tag along for their trips as they take a slow-travel train trek through the American Southwest, spend 48 hours in London’s Covent Garden neighbourhood and sail away with Club Med’s Exclusive Collection.

The Summer 2023 issue of ELLE Canada will hit newsstands and Apple News+ on May 29, 2023.
