Elle magazine was founded in France in 1945.  The magazine is the most popular, best-selling magazine in the world.  ‘Elle’ means “she” or “her” in French.

Cookie Lyon brought a new swag to TV in 2015, especially during Empire’s first season.  Here bright colors and animal prints complimented her outgoing personality and those unforgettable one-liners.  Elle magazine will most likely recognize what Cookie did for fashion thanks to her amazing wardrobe in the show’s initial season.
