Glamour is a women's magazine published by Condé Nast Publications. Founded in 1939 in the United States, it was originally called Glamour of Hollywood.

In most cases it is a monthly publication.

Glamour gives you the best hair and beauty tips, fashion do’s and don’ts, with monthly horoscopes. You will even find inspiring articles and interviews on current events and relevant topics. There are abundant photographs of the latest in fashionable clothing, shoes and accessories. It updates trends on the latest in beauty products and make-up, as well as professional advice for application.

In USA the magazine is published in a larger format than many of its counterparts. Its current editor-in-chief is Cynthia Leive.

In the UK Glamour launched in April 2000, where it pioneered the “handbag size” format, with the tagline "fits in your life as well as your handbag". Each September the magazine holds “National Glamour Week”. Consequently the magazine features extra coupons (e.g. redeemable at fashion or beauty outlets) and competitions.
