More! was a fortnightly (then weekly) women's fashion magazine and associated website[2] published every Tuesday in the United Kingdom by Bauer London Lifestyle.[3] It included celebrity news, high street fashion, and sex tips. The magazine was published fortnightly until September 2007, when it became a weekly publication[1] to compete with Look magazine. More USA is still published.

On 22 April 2013, Bauer Media Group announced that it would cease publication of More! Magazine and its website.[4] In its closing web comments, the publishers reported that continuing challenging economic conditions meant that the product was no longer viable.
