Holmes is joining from Marie Claire where she has served as editor in chief since 2020. She joined Marie Claire as digital director in 2018.

She will oversee the editorial vision of the brand, content creation across channels and the InStyle strategy overall, while reporting to Leah Wyar, president of Entertainment and Beauty & Style at Dotdash Meredith.
