Just for the record, I'm a female programmer, and I don't think I've ever read Elle. I think I was in my teens the last time I read something in a fashion magazine.
I had assumed, perhaps mistakenly, that an important subtext of the article is to show the success of a woman in a technical field, and that a woman can achieve a leadership role at a leading technology company, in a role that is all about intellect -- not sales or customer-facing stuff where appearance matters. I found the mentions of looks and clothes to be at odds with this.
Now I'm curious to know how men's fashion magazines treat similar subjects....
