The Ideal of Beauty Is Changing in 2020, and the Recent Glamour Covers Only Prove That

The February issue of Glamour magazine was released with 11 covers. Women who previously couldn’t even dream of getting on the front cover of a fashion magazine a couple of years ago, became the new faces of Glamour. And their courage, unique features, and unorthodox beauty are trending now.

We at Bright Side always pay attention to trends in the fashion industry, so we noticed these fresh faces right away.

Harnaam Kaur

British activist Harnaam Kaur suffers from polycystic ovary syndrome. Because of this disease, she has a beard. But Harnaam isn’t going to hide it or be ashamed of her features.
