Daily News: Molly Sims Beauty Brand Gets Major Funding, Emily In Paris Returns, Kate Hudson’s New Film, and More!

Here’s some inspo for budding entrepreneurs… Molly Sims’ YSE Beauty has announced the successful close of its $15 million Series A funding round led by investment partner Silas Capital. The new cash will be allocated strategically to fuel forthcoming expansion across all Sephora doors in the US and continued exponential growth on direct e-commerce.  Launched in 2023, YSE Beauty, designed for women 35+ seeking effective solutions without complicated routines, was inspired by Sims own battle with hyperpigmentation and a desire to help an underserved audience.

“YSE is made for women who are busy, ambitious, and don’t have time for complex routines,” Sims told The Daily in September. “Everything out there felt either overwhelming or just didn’t deliver results. I wanted to create something effective, luxurious, and simple without downtime or 12-step routines. YSE stands for wisdom—the expertise behind our formulations, and also the collective wisdom of a community of strong, accomplished women. Instead of trying to fix what’s wrong, it’s about embracing and highlighting your natural glow at every age.”
