Nicole Briese
Nicole Briese is a Florida-based editor, writer and content creator who has been writing about all things culture-related since the O.G. Gossip Girl was still on the air. (Read: A lifetime ago.) She has been a contributor to Marie Claire since 2021, covering books, movies, and TV shows—if you’re looking for an obscure ‘80s horror flick or a definitive ranking of J.Lo’s least Gigli-esque movies, she’s your gal. She’s also the site’s resident book ranker, which is fitting, considering that she spent more time with paperbacks than people from the ages of 5 to 13. Before diving deep into the world of film and reading for MC, she studied magazine journalism at Michigan State University and cut her editing teeth at such publications such as Brit + Co, Us Weekly, Woman’s World, First for Women, USA TODAY, and Purewow, where she served as the site’s commerce director. (Shopping is kind of her thing these days.) In her spare time, when she's not obsessing over her cat, she's usually Insta-stalking all things fashion, beauty, or naked animals or crafting her own reviews of clothes, makeup, and home goods for her blog, Nicolebjean.com. (You should probably check it out—it once impressed Brooklyn Decker enough to hire her for a gig.)
