## Resource

In this episode, the Caroline speaks with Andrea Laventhal, former Style & Beauty Director at People and now Executive Director of Special Integrated Projects, who helps lead major franchises like Sexiest Man Alive and People’s World’s Most Beautiful issue. Andrea shares how she got started in magazines, what her job really includes, and how People balances celebrity with relatable picks for readers. She explains the “right person at the right time” cover selection process, why confidence matters because of online backlash, and how the franchise began in 1990 as a move into color photography. Andrea discusses authentic celebrity moments, a tough Diddy interview that taught her to research deeply, why getting dressed can change your mindset, unglamorous parts of the job, favorite products like tubing mascara and Clearstem, current trends, friendship changes over time, and her take on “natural” beauty in the age of Ozempic and mommy makeovers.
