Editor-in-Chief Matthew Whitehouse on THE FACE's autumn cover stars Chappell Roan, Madeline Argy, Emma Chamberlain and Mustafa.

Her hot-blooded anthems – not to mention that delicious braggy, draggy persona – have infected the pop world and turned Chappell Roan into its newest hometown hero. Now, with barely a second to take it all in, she’s staring into the abyss of superstardom.
