InStyle publishing director Rita Lewis said: “Charlotte is steeped in the world of women’s glossies and has enjoyed tremendous success at Marie Claire. I am delighted to welcome her as the new editor of InStyle. I would also like to thank Suzanne for being an excellent custodian of the brand in the last few months.”
