Leanne Bayley

As HELLO!'s Director of Lifestyle & Commerce, Leanne Bayley leads the brand’s global Shopping vertical, heading up a talented team of editors who expertly curate the very best products for readers around the world. 

With a sharp eye for trends and a genuine passion for storytelling, Leanne ensures HELLO!'s commerce content is as stylish, engaging, and informative as it is shoppable. Since joining HELLO! in 2018, Leanne has been at the forefront of creating compelling fashion and beauty edits, while also lending her voice to features across royal style, interiors, and travel. 

Her mission? To make online shopping more joyful and inspiring and helping readers feel confident and excited about their purchases.

Before joining HELLO!, Leanne was the Content Editor at British GLAMOUR, where she interviewed some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry, including Britney Spears, Hugh Jackman, Katy Perry, and Michael B. Jordan. 

One standout career highlight? Being flown to New York to interview One Direction — and yes, Harry Styles is every bit as charming as you’d imagine.

A proud Coventry native, Leanne followed her dream of working in magazines as soon as she graduated. She studied Journalism at the University of Sunderland and moved to London, where she cut her teeth through internships and editorial roles at some of the UK’s top titles, including Cosmopolitan UK, ELLE UK, InStyle UK, Fabulous magazine, Daily Mail Fashion Finder, and Harrods magazine.

When she’s not curating the latest must-haves for HELLO!, Leanne shares her personal style finds on Instagram via her much-loved #SequinSunday series. She also shares her daily work outfits on her TikTok. Her interests range from cooking and binge-worthy TV, podcasts to gym sessions, designer shopping, spontaneous Zara hauls, and sun-soaked holidays in Dubai with her sisters Jackie and Angie.

Leanne is always on the lookout for the next big beauty launch or commerce collaboration. Reach out at leanne.bayley@hellomagazine.com, and follow her on social:
