Our quest to take The What’s Underneath Project global continues with our new series of global style warriors. Shot in Paris and Berlin. First, we have Lauren Bastide. Blonde and stereotypically pretty, Lauren was constantly told she should be a model growing up: “society’s ultimate power position for a woman.”
Instead, she became a journalist and landed her dream job at Elle magazine. Over the decade she spent there, Lauren witnessed the industry she once idolized morph beyond recognition: advertising’s perverse influence over journalism was staggering. The final straw was when a furry Fendi keychain advertorial took editorial precedence over her feature on a case of police brutality.
“At some point you have to listen to your guts, I guess, and my guts told me to get out of there,” said Lauren. The vintage-layered mother of two walked out and never looked back. This, and lots more radical realness, like dispelling the myth that pregnancy and motherhood is always a bohemian dream, in Lauren’s episode.
Today you can find Lauren doing it her way on “La Poudre,” an unfiltered, empowering podcast for women. bit.ly/2m2n4k4

One of the best ones I watched. I loved how honest she was about herself as a mother and the ending was...intense, to say the least.
"I had a sister and she died and I'm not comfortable with the years she was alive."
Like fuck, this is another level of brutal honesty. So brave. Such truth. This woman is incredible.
Skims24 can you explain this to me I’m kind of confused? Does she mean like she is okay that she is dead now because when she was alive she didn’t like her? Or is she sad that her sister is gone?
From what i understand is that it seems like her sister was going through a hard time during the years she was a alive and maybe they didnt have the opportunity to resolve those issues together?
Yana Churiy okay gotcha thank you!
I think she means that she just can't think of when her sister was alive, she misses her too much. The memories of her being here are too difficult to remember and deal with with because she's still grieving. Such a brave and beautiful woman. I hope she manages to face those memories one day.
I second that, Isabella.
These videos need so much more attention because every single time i watch one i feel invigorated. It's honestly like a little shot of confidence, being inspired by a complete stranger.
on a real note: wow to her vulnerability and honesty, so moving, I felt swept up in this.
on a materialistic note: it's so beautiful how intricately these women style themselves - it's such a reflection on how everyone's personalities vary
Wow I definitely wasn't expecting this. This was such a beautiful video.
This channel is one of my favorite channels. It shows the beauty of people and that we are so beautifully imperfect. These always make me feel unique. Thank you for these
Lauren Bastide my hero! I love her so much. I listen to her podcast all the time. Thank you Lauren
This is the best place on RUclips
THANK YOU for this excellent series -- I had asked you to do individual women and here it is, I love your choice of eclectic and creative individuals ~~ I always feel so much better after watching!
Every time I watch a StyleLikeU video, something is being said that I've been feeling or thinking for so long but never been able to properly articulate. And then it hits me like a hammer. But in a positive way. First it's sad but then it blooms into an incredible comfortableness with this "state of womanhood" which connects women. I'm very grateful these helpful experiences are what social media can be used for as well. Thank you!
You can’t know the people you touch and inspire by these amazing interviews. They resonate deeply with me.
Chère Lauren , Merci pour ce beau moment de vulnérabilité .❤️
Undescribable how glad I came across this channel years ago. Fully supporting this channel till today and bought the book as looks amazing. This channel always helps with my depression, makes me feel less alone. Thank you for all you guys do. Here's to the movement of self love!
I adore her..after a 30 year career as a designer in NYC..BEFORE the "fast fashion"....and ended the career doing everything overseas for Walmart..I couldn't take it anymore..children working in factories for a dollar a day..NOW I work with people and their health ,physically and emotionally..we have to focus on the world AS A WHOLE..we have to shift our focus...so proud of this young woman...
This channel always brightens my day! This is what we should be using the media for
Lovely interview. I love how vulnerable Lauren got even if it was hard for her to share some stuff.
Everytime a watch a video i feel so much more comfortable in my own skin. And that is such a beautiful thing. Thank you for making these!
Oh my gosh. My husband is French and this really resonated with me. The part about not being able to got back to the time when her sister was alive as a child gave me chills and tears. Beautiful.
So excited that you guys are back with a new series!!! My favourite series on youtube xx
This work you do is sooo important, and deeply special. Seeing someone being so candid and so honest on camera, specially when ou don't see it around yourself.. It just makes me feel like yes, it is possible to live and come across people who are being vulnerable and open 💕💕💕
I am so happy these are back! These have been so formidable to me for the past 3 or so years whats underneath has been around and really shaped who i am today ❤️ (and i’m currently obsessed with france so it’s even more perfect)
So happy you ladies are back!
Thank you so much for this series of videos ! They are all amazing and interesting in their own way. Thank you to all the people who participated in this series, in making it and sharing their experience
Such a beautiful video & a lovely woman! super excited about this segment in france. it’d be really cool to see you guys go to a non-western country one day!
Coming back to this and Lauren is just as fantastic as she was 3 years ago ❤️
This channel is so inspiring! Thank u for making the videos u do and always posting such powerful content. 100% THANK U!!!! Every video is so amazing!
So beautiful. So honest and true. Thank you for your bravery. You are so wonderful because you are vulnerable.
I have been looking forward to the new series so much!! This was an awesome video to start with, Lauren is so badass ❤
This was epically beautiful. Thank you so much Lauren Bastide!
I will never cease to say thank you for this amazing work ,inspiring others ❤️
This was such a beautiful video, really raw and brave. These are the kind of women we need to be focusing on in order to progress as a population. Being honest about ourselves and knowing that's okay. Really motivational. xx
I adored this interview. I love the layers -- from her outfit to her personality.
When I started watching this, I wasn't sure I'd connect with this person but wow. That was so powerful! Thank you for being so vulnerable ❤️
Wow, she is amazing. She has inspired me at such a turning point in my life. Thank you Lauren!
That was beautiful! I can't wait for the next episodes!

Merci Lauren pour ce partage, La Poudre prends encore plus de sens à la lumière de ton parcours ! ❤❤
I LOVE HER!!!! THIS WAS EVERYTHING SHAMELESS.
What a beautiful warm hearted girl. A wonderful human being. ❤
You are an amazing, beautiful person Lauren Bastide!
"Being told you could be a model was . . . and the ultimate power position for a woman in society was becoming a model", the only sentence which left her mouth that I question. Such a great interview.
I love how each time take off an items that represents a part of her life Like that blazer that symbolize her TV era. Smart!! love the video Great job! I am addicted to these videos
I LOVE the small glimpse of what the person telling their story sees...behind the camera.
Thanks for this Lauren. I felt the same when I was pregnant and after. If you ever need a graphic designer to create a new woman magazine, a free one, I'm there!
It was really worth the wait! Thanks so much, I expect nothing less than inspiring content from you guys
More, more, more please! I absolutely adore this channel. Thank you StyleLikeU and all the individuals who share their hearts with us!
Amazing.
How do you do this? Finding the sweet spot in every woman who parcipitates in this experiment!?🙏🏻💕
One of the best ones of these I have watched.
Thank you for your needed honesty.
So moving! Vulnerability is the place where we can all identify ourselves as humans. best video so far. Love it!
Awesome!!! So nice to hear another aspect of motherhood! I am scared of having kids and I don’t feel shameful of feeling all my fears!
Thank you for sharing your story with us Lauren. 😘
Amazing to experience such honesty and candor.
Thank you for sharing your story. This video got me the feels on so many levels
Plus, how amazing and strong are you? Thanks for this series, really 🙏
Thank you so much for this episode! I loved it SO MUCH! And HUGE thank you to Lauren for being herself and inspire.
Welcome back!!! So excited for these episodes to drop
This moved me so much. What a fantastic woman. Keep trying, Lauren xxx
Great interview! I love this channel and its message. Always interesting people willing to share, always inspiring.
I'm in love with places I've never seen and people I've never met
Wow, what an amazing woman. Thank you so much for sharing.
What an amazing interview, really appreciate Lauren's honesty and openness. ❤
So interesting in the way each different person puts down their clothes all while peeling the onion on the inside as well. Body language taken to heights as if u almost don't need to hear the words they say bc u can just see it & feel the emotions 🙏💜
Thank You for such honest and interesting women to listen to.
Finally my favorite channel is baaaaccckkkkk!!!!
This was so beautiful and helpful. Keep being badass, Lauren. Xo
Loved this interview and the sincerity of Lauren, welcome back!! I was really distracted by the tortoiseshell bangles tho, hoping they're synthetic or she's planning on ditching them just like she ditched fast fashion.
i adore these little potraits! wonderful!
Freakin BEAUTIFUL VIDEO FREAKIN BEAUTY!
i love how she unravels slowly and completely

so excited for new videos!! :) my favorites youtube series
FINALLY AGAIN❤️❤️❤️
Love your story!!!
Thank you 🖤 that taught me a lot in unexpected ways. Merci
Loving this videos more and more every day!
So fantastic. ❤️
I read that France doesn’t classify people according to race and ethnicity because that is how the Germans found so many Jewish people during the war. They used French registries to identify them.
Do you think guys could be included in this project too? As a woman, I'd be super interested in listening to a guy be vulnerable and open up like this. Do they have similar or different types of insecurities? I honestly don't know but would love to.
look at their video list they do have a couple of guy videos too
Also, we are planning to interview more men soon :)
StyleLikeU Awesome. Thanx!
You guys composed an ingenious layout for deeply humanizing intimate interviews. By listening to them open up, I feel less alien to myself. These videos reassure us that vulnerability is beautiful and a sign of strength not weakness. It's multi-layered here too (an overkill necessary to dissipate doubt on the matter); from the honesty to the self-reflection and all the way to the physical stripping down to the undies. Reading the comments just cements the acceptance that started with the speakers themselves and, of course, the interviewers. All the best xxx
Well, unfortunately, we live in a society where men are not allowed to be vulnerable and emotionally open like this (it starts in childhood when boys are told they aren't allowed to cry). So that is why there's unfortunately not many interviews of men.
As a young journalist this was really good to hear
I just ordered your book! :) Great Interview!
Thanks for that and for watching!
You shouldn't pressure folks to tell stories they are uncomfortable with
Beautiful smart woman with amazing style
Props to her for being so honest, she might also seem very down to earth but in my opinion behind it all, she IS that french girl who is quite superficial, way into looks and fashion (not surprising she worked at ELLE). She wrote an article at ELLE about "plus-size" girls and fashion (plus size in France is US size 6) which upset so many people. I don't think you can have quite a sane representation of body image and appearance when you have worked in that kind of environment, even though she is critical of its superficiality in the beginnning of the video.
Katrina G. She talked about that article I think in an episode of La Poudre... said it was a mistake and made her understand things... everybody make mistakes, and some understand them, and change :) not all people working or having worked at Elle are "superficiel" and what she did in this episode here is so not "superficiel".
You are french aren't you :) Indeed I shouldn't have used the word superficial but what I meant is that when you spend most of your time in such an atmosphere like the one that is a fashion magazine, it messes with your head and your representation of looks and beauty, because they "condition" you to think that way. As for her apology I didn't know she did it, but I feel like that's the kind of situation where you say oh I'm sorry but it's because you've been reprimanded and have gotten so much hate, not because you actually feel sorry. But I hope for her that it really changed her.
This was so beautiful
This now I’m pregnant has helped me so much! I HATE BEING PREGNANT, it’s uncomfortable and painful and I feel miserable I’m sick everyday and it seems that when I say it I get so much judgment so “BAD WOMAN BAD MOTHER”
Incredible woman!
Love her so much..so honest...I was a mother who hated being pregnant..love her..
I am sorry for the loss of your sister.❤️
You guys are amazing!
thanks for sharing your story so honestly :)
Thank you all for doing the live stream today! 💖
So beautiful, great messages💖
She's lovely. ♡
Lauren rocks! Check out her podcast, La Poudre 👌
