DRAFTING W/ WILLA BENNETT

Jun 17, 2026

Willa Bennett edits two of the most iconic magazines in the world — but her real office is her phone. As editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan and Seventeen, she sits at the intersection of sex, relationships, fashion and pop culture, helping shape how a new generation talks about the things that matter most.

Since taking the helm of both titles in 2024, Bennett has brought a distinctly modern perspective to legacy media. Before that, she led Highsnobiety, where her editorial vision earned several industry accolades.

And even if you’re unfamiliar with her work, you’ve probably seen her signature uniform: the suit-and-tie combination that’s become synonymous with her personal brand.

Now, Bennett opens up that phone for DRAFTING, taking us inside the texts, photos, inspiration and works in progress behind the making of Cosmopolitan and Seventeen.
