Emily Julia Sheffield (born 1973) is a British journalist. She was the editor of the Evening Standard from July 2020[1] until October 2021.[2] Sheffield was Student Journalist of the Year in 1995 and later worked for British Vogue. She was a director of Indian fashion website and retailer Koovs from 2014 until the end of 2019 when it collapsed.
She was born in 1973,[3] the daughter of Sir Reginald Sheffield, 8th Baronet, and Annabel Jones.[4] Her parents divorced in 1974, and in 1976, her mother married William Astor, 4th Viscount Astor, and became Annabel Astor, Viscountess Astor, with whom she had three more children.[3] Her father also had three more children by his second wife Victoria Penelope Walker.
After university, Sheffield became a columnist and features assistant for The Guardian, and then joined the Evening Standard.[3][7] In 2005, she was working for British Vogue.[5] She was deputy editor for 12 years, but was made redundant in 2017 after Edward Enninful took over from long-standing editor Alexandra Shulman, as part of what was called a "posh girl exodus".[8] She joined the board of Koovs, the Indian fashion website and retailer, in 2014. The firm was established by Labour Party peer Lord Alli after he left ASOS plc.[9] It went into administration in December 2019.[10][11]
After Vogue, she founded a "positive news" app, #ThisMuchIKnow, with the help of a £60,000 government grant, but it struggled to find an audience and she had difficulties retaining key staff.[3][8] She is a co-founder of Future News Innovation, of which she will remain the director.[12]
In June 2020, it was announced that Sheffield, who had been a columnist on the Evening Standard since 2018,[13] would succeed George Osborne as editor on 1 July, when Osborne became editor-in-chief.[1][8] She left the post in October 2021, although she will continue to write a column for the newspaper.[2]
Sheffield moved to London as a teenager.[8] In 2002, she married then actor Tom Mullion.[16][5] The couple have two sons, Perry and Rex.[3][17] Mullion is a former actor, a co-founder of the bowling chain All Star Lanes, and a co-founder, with Oliver Milburn and Tim Steel, of Kitty Fisher's, a small restaurant in London's Shepherd Market.[18]
In 2013, she accidentally shared a pre-wedding photo on Instagram of her sister Alice with David Cameron, then the prime minister, in the background, asleep on a bed, with a ministerial red box beside him.[19] She had thought it would only be seen by a few friends, but it was shared and liked by thousands.[19]
