In Byrdie magazine's holiday issue, cover star Shay Mitchell shares an in-depth look at her many hats as an actress, mother, entrepreneur, influencer and more.
Editor in Chief and General Manager of Byrdie Hallie Gould shares the inspiration behind the cover shoot with Mitchell, saying "The holidays are the time to go all out — pearls, bows, shimmer, satin, etc. It feels like this time of year gives everyone an extra-special, candlelit glow. It's when we can drink champagne with abandon and dress up like ornaments."
