Brittany Skyler
Brittany Skyler connects fashion, beauty, lifestyle, and entertainment coverage through trend-led stories that turn pop culture and city experiences into clear, service-focused reporting.
She works across The Knockturnal and other entertainment and lifestyle outlets as a multimedia journalist centered on beauty, pop culture, and everyday style. Her work spans on-air segments and editorial features, giving her coverage a mix of reported detail and broadcast-ready pacing.
Beauty, hair, and gray-hair trends
Skyler’s beauty coverage leans on practical explainers that decode trends and techniques for readers, particularly in hair and skincare.
She writes about low-maintenance gray hair approaches such as French blending, positioning nuanced color techniques as accessible options rather than niche salon concepts. Her pieces frame trends through methods and products, reflecting an emphasis on how a look is achieved, not just how it appears.
At Glam, her beat is defined around beauty and wellness, skincare, and pop culture, with a stated focus on “the latest trends, methods, and products, from drugstore picks to high-end splurges and celebrity favorites.” That orientation carries through her work, where trend pieces balance high-gloss references with everyday routines, giving equal weight to mass-market brands and luxury names.
The result is beauty coverage that sits at the intersection of fashion, celebrity culture, and practical guidance.
Fashion education and design access
Skyler’s fashion reporting often looks beyond runways to the pipeline that feeds the industry, spotlighting programs that broaden access to design careers. In her coverage of the Timberland X CNSTNT:DVLPMNT design classes for Bronx youth, she follows a multi-city series of workshops designed to introduce BIPOC students to roles across the design industry. She underscores that only 7% of professional fashion designers identify as people of color, using that statistic to frame the urgency of the initiative.
Her write-up tracks the evolution of the program from a 14-course after-school curriculum into spin-off events and stops in cities including Philadelphia, Charlotte, and Baltimore, keeping the focus on how sustained exposure can change who participates in fashion. This kind of piece shows a recurring concern with education, representation, and community partnerships, treating fashion as an economic and cultural ecosystem rather than a purely aesthetic field.
City lifestyle and destination coverage
Skyler frequently covers openings and pop-ups that shape the urban lifestyle landscape, writing about restaurants, seasonal activations, and shopping experiences as lived environments. In her feature on Palermo’s new Gramercy location, she presents the restaurant as “your new summer spot,” highlighting it as a destination within a broader neighborhood scene.
The tone is invitational but grounded in specific details about the concept and atmosphere, positioning the venue within a summer dining and social narrative.
Her Brooklyn holiday coverage follows a similar pattern, using a piece on WINTER by Empire Stores to steer readers away from crowded holiday clichés toward a more curated pop-up experience in Dumbo.
She describes the event as a combined shopping and dining experience, emphasizing the mix of retail and food alongside the seasonal theme. Across these lifestyle stories, she treats openings and pop-ups as cultural signposts, connecting decor, programming, and location into a coherent sense of place.
On-air entertainment and pop culture reporting
Alongside fashion and lifestyle, Skyler maintains a strong entertainment beat that covers film, television, music, and broader pop culture. Her role is described as an on-air reporter and entertainment journalist, reflecting ongoing work in video and broadcast formats as well as print.
She has produced stories with well-known figures across film, TV, music, and sports, anchoring interviews in shared cultural references and nostalgia.
Her coverage of Prime Video’s “Ricky Stanicky” frames the film within the revival of “bro-comedy” culture, suggesting an interest in how individual titles sit inside longer arcs of genre and audience tastes.
In her interview with Tamera Mowry-Housley for The Knockturnal, she draws on their mutual fondness for the “Twitches” films, using that connection to deepen the conversation and situate the actor’s work within a broader pop-cultural memory. Beyond individual pieces, her portfolio and reels highlight a career that moves between local news-style reporting and entertainment-driven storytelling, always anchored in accessible explanations of why a project or person matters in the current moment.
