1. UP PEARL THUSI Pearl’s account of the fears she had to overcome nine years ago as a pregnant student will be huge encouragement to other young women in the same position. 2. UP FKA TWIGS Multi-talented Twigs is curating a Halloween-themed London performance-art piece called Rooms. “No talent or style too extreme,” said her casting call… 3. UP LOYISO BALA After success in the music industry straight out of school, the R&B hitmaker is off to business college – at 37 – to complete his education. 4. UP OLIVIA WILDE When no able-bodied guys on the NYC subway would give her “giant preggo” self a seat, she tweeted a hope that she’d go into labour on their heads – feisty! 5. UP KID CUDI Hip-hop success takes attitude. This…

THANKS TO TOMMY HILFIGER, you can now get your hands on pieces co-designed by the hottest model of the moment, Gigi Hadid. What happens when one of the world’s most iconic designers gets together with one of the world’s most influential supermodels? Let’s find out what Gigi had to say to Tommy about the experience… TH Gigi, it’s exciting to be here to see our capsule collection in person! It’s been such an amazing journey to design together. What do you think of the result? GH It looks incredible! As you know, this is the first time I’ve ever co-designed, so the collection is very special to me. I feel like every girl wants to design clothes at some point, and it’s something I’ve become even more passionate about through…

FOR AS LONG AS motherhood has existed, it seems there have been unspoken rules regarding the perfect way to parent. With the rise of social media, the debates surrounding bottle feeding versus breast feeding, returning to work or staying at home and the merits of natural birth versus having a C-section have only intensified. Lily Allen, 31-year-old mom to four-year-old Ethel and three-year-old Marnie Rose, found herself in the middle of an entirely different debate after she was pictured necking a bottle of Jack Daniels at London’s Notting Hill Carnival last month before being carried out, seemingly passed out, over boyfriend MC Meridian Dan’s shoulder. It wasn’t long before the Twittersphere descended upon her, calling her a bad mother and questioning her priorities. In her defence, Lily tweeted, “Truth is…

MIX AND MATCH You saw it on the Gucci and Rochas runways, and now it’s time you took eclectic to the streets. No holding back. ICE CREAM SUNDAE Pink is the sorbet shade to draw inspiration from. Pair one standout item with nudes or whites, or wear it head to toe with a few glam accessories. REBEL FEVER Bring out your inner punk princess with a mix of unlikely summer brights, textures, prints and accessories. Be daring with playful silhouettes, too. You make the rules! GOTHIC FLORALS It’s not news that blooms are big for the S/S season, but this time around they’ve got more of an edge. HEAT IT UP The staple palette for the season is hot, hot, hot! Literally. Any colour that you’ll find among the fiery…

WHERE WE SPOTTED IT Applied to the eyelids of models on the runway at Frank Sorbier. WHY WE LOVE IT An excuse to wear glitter on our eyes, even when it’s not Halloween? How could we not… WAYS TO WEAR IT It’s the traditional black liner that keeps this looking sophisticated rather than sweet. Apply your glitter liner further back, towards the crease of your lids, to make sure your black liner remains clean and glitter free. Leave your bottom lashes sans mascara, and keep your lips matte in a flattering nude shade to maximise the impact of your sparkly lids.…

1 PINK POWER Turn your lids into a work of art with YSL’s Couture Palette Eyeshadow in Rose Baby Doll, R890. The formula is crease-resistant for up to 12 hours. 2 DOUBLE DUTY Bobbi Brown’s ultra-rich Extra SPF25 Tinted Moisturizing Balm, R595, gives skin a dewy look with light coverage. 3 DREAMY KISSES Light, creamy and natural, Essence’s Longlasting Lipstick Nude in 07 Velvet Matt, R50, is the new handbag staple. 4 FIX IT Smashbox’s Color Correcting Stick Look Less Tired, R390, conceals dark circles and hyperpigmentation in one simple step. 5 BLURRED LINES Visibly reduce minor imperfections with Clarins Mineral Loose Powder, R450. Sweep over your forehead, cheeks, nose and chin for a luminous glow.…

WHAT WERE YOU LIKE AS A KID? I was a bit of everything, I think. I was quite athletic and absolutely loved music and dance and being the centre of attention, but I was also very academic. I was always only too happy to be around people but also spent a lot of time in front of the mirror impersonating characters and people I adored. I think that’s where my obsession with reading books started; I was always looking for places and things to escape to. AFTER FIVE YEARS ON RHYTHM CITY, city, WHAT DO YOU STILL LOVE MOST ABOUT PLAYING NIKKI? Nikki is all kinds of power! She has evolved and grown with every situation she’s been faced with since she arrived in RC land. I’ve been blessed to…

THE FIRST STOP I would be the worst travel writer on the planet if I didn’t mention the Blue Lagoon (main picture). Spending time in a geothermal hot spring is as Icelandic as fermented shark bites (don’t do it!), and the Blue Lagoon is the most famous. Make sure to stop in for a soak and a drink from the swim up bar on your way from the airport to your accommodation. I have yet to find a better way to wash the flight away and step straight into holiday mode. THE STREETS OF REYKJAVIK About a quarter of Iceland’s population of 420 000 people live in its capital, and there’s nowhere quite like Laugavegur (one of the city’s oldest shopping streets) to experience their street culture. The pavements are…

SHOULD WE ORDINARY MORTALS fall pregnant, the announcement procedure is straightforward: the partner gets told first, followed by parents, family and friends. For globally recognised celebs, it’s a little more intense. Which may explain why the great red-carpet baby-bump reveal is now a thing. The trend first appeared in May this year, when The Fixer star Kerry Washington, 39, walked the Met Gala red carpet in a stunning black lace Marc Jacobs gown slit to the thigh and revealing lots of cleavage. It also revealed her tiny baby bump, confirming rumours that she and ex-footballer husband Nnamdi Asomugha, 35, were expecting their second child. In the past two months, though, the trend seems to have gone viral. In August, Tika Sumpter – the 36-year-old US actress starring in the upcoming…

LOOKING AT Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander now, it seems strange to remember a time when it seemed as though the new lovers really couldn’t stand to be around each other (exhibit A: their appearance at the Formula One Grand Prix in Monaco in May last year). Flash-forward to now, and in the wake of rave reviews for their performance in The Light Between Oceans, an insider reveals Alicia, 27, has warmed up to the man mega-producer Harvey Weinstein is rumoured to have set her up with. “She’s a lot happier about putting on public displays of affection with him. Well, at least until the Oscars roll around next year… The couple plan to cash in during awards season.” Michael, 39, and Alicia’s on-again/ off-again romance hit a particularly rocky…

THERE IS GOOD and bad news for LGBTI South Africans, according to a Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) survey into social attitudes. While more than 70 percent of respondents feel that same-sex sexual activity is “morally wrong”, 51 percent agree that gay and lesbian citizens deserve the same human rights as other South Africans, and 52 percent feel LGBTI people should be included in their “cultural tradition”. So more than half of us support LGBTI legal and social equality – including at least one in five of those who disapprove of homosexuality. Opposition to same-sex marriage has also dropped from almost 50 percent in 2012 to less than 24 percent today. When it comes to accepting transgender identities, the survey showed even more progress. Although 18 percent admit that they…

ARM YOURSELF FOR SUMMER Strappy-top season is officially here, and while all the Instagram fitness stars trained like maniacs during winter, some of us weren’t as diligent. But there’s no need to panic – we chatted to Adventure Boot Camp trainer Michelle Rozowsky about her top three moves for toning your arms… STAND AND RAISE Start by holding a dumbbell in each hand, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, your arms at your side and your palms facing in. Keeping your arms straight (but not locked), raise the weights diagonally in front of you, until your arms are parallel to the floor. Your arms should create a V-shape. Hold for one second and return to your sides. That is one rep; do 12 to 15. SHOULDER PRESS Start by holding…

Posh is back in heels. When Victoria Beckham announced earlier this year that her appearance in sneakers after her autumn NYFW show was “the real” VB, we didn’t think it was a style she’d be sticking to. Sure enough, for her recent appearance on Late Night With Seth Myers, pint-sized Posh was in her trademark strappy stilettos again. Welcome back! AMAHLE JALI ENJOYED A BLINGED-UP 1 ST  BIRTHDAY PARTY Former Diski Divas star Nonhle Ndala and her soccer player husband, Andile Jali, were blessed with a gorgeous baby girl last year. To celebrate little Amahle’s first birthday, her doting parents pulled out all the stops, with decor and table settings worthy of a fairy princess. The result was too cute for words. ‘INTIMATE’ PRINCE MEMOIR IS ON ITS WAY…

HOW SAD THAT IN THE YEAR 2016 we still don’t have proper sex education in this country. I’m not talking about teaching kids what sperm and fallopian tubes look like, or how to roll a condom onto a banana, but the fact that sex is pleasurable – and not purely for making babies. More importantly, when you reach a certain age and those annoying hormones kick in, pushing sex up on your hierarchy of needs right below breathing and eating, the safest kind of sex you can have is with yourself. If you’re a guy and reading this, you’re probably rolling your eyes right now – and if you were born before the internet was invented, like I was, your inner monologue is whispering, “No, duh!” This is not new…

ACTRESS, PRESENTER and model Boity Thulo has collaborated with South African brand Sissy Boy to create a unique capsule collection that personifies her fashion sense and style. “Partnering with Sissy Boy on this project is very special to me. Our aim is for women to feel sexy when wearing the collection. The garments I chose for the initial capsule include jumpsuits, T-shirts and jackets, and these were specially designed to celebrate a woman’s curves and build her confidence, which is everything my brand stands for,” says Boity. The partnership, which was born out of a mutual interest and respect, took off when Boity voiced her desire to venture into the fashion industry in support of a brand that embraces femininity and encourages a “love yourself” philosophy. This in turn will…

OUR PANEL RENE MOTAUNG Brand manager at Steve Madden VINTAGE ZIONIST Mandy Newman and Oscar Ncube SINEAD MARTIN Grazia beauty editor KENDALL JENNER RENE The jumpsuit has a really cool futuristic look about it, but I’m not sure about the cuff on the ankle – it shortens her long, gorgeous legs. The slicked-back bun and red lip elevate her look from okay to chic. 8/10 VINTAGE ZIONIST This is a great combination of a wedding dress and tux pants , and her hair and shoes complement the outfit. However, the trousers c ould do without the protruding lining. 7/10 YOU Classy, age-appropriate and clean! 8/10 SHARON GUMEDE ROMEE STRIJD SINEAD This is the way to show off toned abs: slick culottes, a red lip and Gucci flats. 10/10 VINTAGE ZIONIST…
