PEOPLE StyleWatch: Spring 2025
With our cover girl Ariana Madix, we're celebrating renewal: New outlooks on life, refreshed closets and new reasons to shop
Editor's Letter
It's fitting that the Spring 2025 issue of People StyleWatch is my first in my new role as Style and Beauty Director. After all, spring is the season of transformation and growth and this position marks the next chapter of my career.
That’s why I was thrilled to have someone else stepping into the next phase of their life on the cover of this issue. Ariana Madix is embracing her own new reality — with Vanderpump Rules in the rearview (spoiler: she’s never even uttered word Scandoval), a budding Broadway career and a sexy hosting gig on Love Island USA, she tells People StyleWatch she has a newfound confidence that’s manifested in her wardrobe.
"For so many years I was afraid to go too far, do too much, and now I feel like it’s so much more fun for me,” she says of her style. “It’s like costumes in a way, getting to kind of channel characters, and it’s really fun.”
For her PSW shoot, styled by Emily Men, Madix channels L.A. cool girl in some of the biggest seasonal trends, like butter yellow (if you’re looking for a splurge, her Jacquemus dress is on sale!), powder blue, rugby shirts and sheer fabrics.
“F--- flattering, wear something fun, wear what you like!,” she says of her overall fashion philosophy.
My 3-year-old daughter has that same unapologetic sense of style: Her commitment to princess-core is truly unmatched. Like Ariana, she's inspiring me to wear more color and have fun (I’m tired of being roasted by a toddler for wearing too much black!).
Speaking of having fun, be sure to check out the best purse for your Zodiac sign, our favorite scents of the season and the new beauty products that will revamp your makeup bag.
Happy spring — and shopping!
