The seventh issue of The Gentlewoman boasts megastar businesswoman Beyoncé Knowles-Carter on its cover. Surely the most famous woman in the world, she leads a trio of other accomplished, dynamic and inspiring women who are also profiled on the publication’s 275 pages: the friendly Parisian fashion designer Isabel Marant, the superbly outspoken actress Susan Sarandon and the enterprising herb farmer Jekka McVicar. A veritable synopsis of springtime glamour, the magazine also offers a plethora of handsome bags, splendid watches, pointed shoes and a portfolio of delicious clothes. A new perspective on the topic of modern manners is also introduced in this instalment – the complex matter of tipping, to be precise – and as always, there are many insightful and charming conversations with the most fascinating women of today.

The Gentlewoman celebrates modern women of style and purpose. Its fabulous biannual magazine offers a fresh and intelligent perspective on fashion that’s focused on personal style – the way women actually look, think and dress. Featuring ambitious journalism and photography of the highest quality, it showcases inspirational women through its distinctive combination of glamour, personality and warmth. These qualities are also at the heart of its website, thegentlewoman.com, a virtual place where real women, real events and real things are enjoyed.
