Zoe came under fire After the trailer for the upcoming flick Nina was released, Zoe Saldana – who plays civil rights activist and musician Nina Simone – faced a wave of criticism. Fans flocked to social media to slam the actress and film producers for casting someone who looks nothing like the American icon. Taking to Twitter, Zoe tried to defend herself using one of Nina’s quotes, but her estate were having none of it. They replied, “@zoesaldana Cool story but please take Nina’s name out your mouth.” Now Nina’s daughter has got wind of the drama and denied it all… MH370 DEBRIS WAS ‘FOUND’ Blaine Gibson, an American tourist, discovered what appeared to be a piece of wreckage that may have belonged to MH370, the plane that went missing…

1 NEW IN Lady Amelia Windsor The aristocrat – who’s 36th in line to the UK throne – has been dubbed “the most beautiful member of the royal family”by Tatler. 2 NON-MOVER Jennifer Lopez While we agree with J.Lo that Ben Affleck’s new tattoo of a phoenix is awful, we’re not sure it was necessary to shame him on live TV. 3 UP Harper Beckham You don’t get cuter than Harper brushing her teeth before bed wearing a mini football jersey with her dad’s name emblazoned across the back. 4 UP Kelly Khumalo The songbird slammed a local satire site for their distasteful story on her “fake pregnancy”. She took to Instagram to call them out, and we applaud her for it. 5 DOWN Madonna & Guy Ritchie It was…

DYNAMITE COMES IN SMALL packages, right? Right! This is even more true of Nissan Qashqai’s 1.2 Turbo and 1.6 Turbo petrol engines, which make these crossover models more powerful, driveable and fuel efficient than ever before. Using advanced software and an adaptable turbocharger, these turbo engines are able to deliver power previously associated with much larger engines. So what exactly does this mean? It means that the Nissan Qashqai 1.2 Turbo and 1.6 Turbo engines are more powerful than the older (non-turbo) 1.6 litre and 2 litre petrol engines respectively, have lower emission levels and enough power at low speeds to make bumper-to-bumper traffic a breeze yet deliver bursts of speed when you need it most. And because the engines are smaller, it means they’re super light on petrol –…

BIG BUCKLES, small buckles or lots of buckles! You can never have too much of a good thing when it comes to this shoe trend. There really are no rules to follow, so wear your new favourite footwear with anything you fancy.…

FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM are no longer in vogue. Case in point: at this year’s Paris Fashion Week, it was Snapchat that ruled the FROW. Once associated with teenagers who wanted to send x-rated self-destructing texts to their significant others, the social media site is now being used by Anna Wintour, Balmain, Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior. Burberry and Topshop have even released new collections on the site. And Valentino, Stella McCartney, Louis Vuitton, Carolina Herrera and Michael Kors have all used Snapchat this year to give no-frills glimpses of their shows. Trend-spotters Future Foundation suggest millennials love Snapchat because its sense of immediate gratification increases our desire for more short-lived, spontaneous experiences: like deciding in a moment to book a flight to Cape Town for the weekend, instead of saving…

BLACK Black can be a very intimidating shade, which is why it often goes untouched in eyeshadow palettes. But we promise it’s way less scary than it seems… Black shadow can be used to create a subtler version of the smoky eye. Dust a light layer of your palette’s black shadow below the lash line and up into the crease. Don’t be afraid to take the dark shade a little deeper into the socket and around the outer corners of your eye. This look creates a moody tone without being too heavy and gives you definition around the eyes as well! BROWN We bet you’ve never thought to rock a double-winged brown cat eye, right? This look is subtle enough to wear during the day and looks great with current…

‘MY NICKELODEON KIDS’ CHOICE AWARDS NOMINATION IS MORE THAN I COULD HAVE ASKED FOR!’ AISHA BAKER (24) We asked the creator of Baked The Blog and Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2016 nominee to take an exclusive selfie and reveal all… What kind of person were you in high school? I’ve always loved fashion and make-up, but in high school I was freer and less concerned about my appearance. I was much more focused on social issues as well. The school I attended was involved in community projects and empowering women, so I guess I have this fierce ambition and hunger to inspire and motivate other women because of that. I would love to get involved in more social projects. How did your career get started? I started off as a…

You know what I did with my first ever pay cheque? I bought curtains. They may have been cheap monochrome cotton curtains that the sun bleached within months, and they certainly were not fabulous stilettos or designer threads, but I loved them. Because to me, they represented something entirely different to mere sun shaders: they were the signal that I had grown up. I was adulting. Those curtains stood for being accountable only to myself for how I spent my money. I kept those curtains for years, because they represented that delicious, irreplaceable feeling of financial freedom. As Guinevere Davies says in our story on financial independence on pg 34, once coupledom strikes, some of us hand over way too much control – including finances – to our partners. Apparently…

BAILEY TIED THE KNOT Radio personality Bailey Schneider and Socrates Georgiades – aka DJ Sox – said “I do” during a lavish two-day ceremony and weekend affair in the Western Cape. Bailey stunned in two gorgeous Hendrik Vermeulen gowns, while Sox and his groomsmen were fitted in Frank Bespoke suits. With over 180 guests, you can be sure it was a big celebrationf A KNIFE WAS FOUND BURIED ON OJ’s LOS ANGELES PROPERTY A knife that was found buried at OJ’s former Brentwood home 12 years ago has only now been handed over by a retired LA police officer for forensic testing. Even though OJ was found not guilty for the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown-Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman in 1995, the case is still open and…

Celebs worked their downtime denim looks – who was cool, and who was a hot mess? OUR PANEL RICCI-LEE KALISH Fashion blogger at Bigbad.co.za JEN SOUTHERN Junior account executive at Armstrong Communication and Public Relations MICHELLE CORY Grazia senior designer and digital content producer CIARA RICCI-LEE That jacket? The reason I’m craving winter! Gorgeous, comfy, completely trendy. But the dress reads more secretary than fashionista, and those boots are great – just not with this look. All in all: not a fan. JEN Were the lights out when she dressed herself? That’s a no from me… YOU Dress and coat: super cute! But those shoes just tear down the entire outfit. ANGELIQUE PATHER K ATE HUDSON RICCI-LEE A little bit vintage, a little bit hippie, a little bit…

TAP AWAY Feeling anxious? Try some simple tapping. Make a fist with your hand and tap it either side of the V bone at the top of your sternum (chest). This works by stimulating an acupressure or energy point in your body, which sends a signal to your brain to neutralise negative emotions, taking your body to a calmer state. Z IS FOR ZINC Zinc helps to normalise the functioning of the glands responsible for producing oil in our skin. It also helps repair skin damage and keeps our complexion soft and supple. Breakfast is a great time to up your zinc intake – we’ll be adding fish to our eggs, and nuts and seeds to our porridge. PEAS AND THANK YOU A study recently published in the Journal of…

WHAT IS THE BEST PART ABOUT GETTING TO PLAY A CHARACTER LIKE MICHELLE? It’s always fun playing a hot mess! Michelle is a dynamic character, which makes my job as an actor exciting as I dig deep into my own emotional reserves to portray all the light and dark nuances of her personality. She’s kind-hearted and ambitious, but easily falls victim to the darker side of humanity because she’s so emotionally invested in all she does. DO YOU STILL GET RECOGNISED FROM YOUR EARLY SOAP DAYS? Yes, Roxanne from Backstage. AND HAVE YOU EVER HAD ANY BIZARRE FAN ENCOUNTERS? Besides marriage proposals on social media, a few months ago I was confronted by a fan who saw me with Dion [Dion Gabrielides, her partner of five years], who reprimanded me…

RiRi has collaborated with Manolo. When the time came to create her six-piece collection for Manolo Blahnik, Rihanna looked to her tattoos for inspiration and incorporated denim, lace and embroidery. Her fave? The 9-to-5 Boot. “If you’re trying to get back home to your bed, don’t wear them boots!” says the singer. PINOT BY TITUSS IS A THING THAT EXISTS! As fans of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt are already aware, Tituss Burgess is a force. He’s paying homage to his TV alter ego, Titus’ song Peeno Noir (an ode to black penis) with Pinot by Tituss, an actual bottle of pinot noir Tituss says is “to be enjoyed by all the fabulous Kings and Kweens.” GRACE CODDINGTON IS COMING UP ROSES thanks to a collaboration with Comme des Garçons.

YOU KNOW HOW YOU get friends for a reason, a season, or for life? Well, I had thought my Friends were of the “for life” sort. I am, after all, the Uberfan. Ask me about “the one with [insert scene]” and I will be able to tell you verbatim exactly what happened in the episode – quirky punch lines and all. So when news broke earlier this year that my favourite gang was reuniting, my heart skipped multiple beats. But after Joey, Rachel, Phoebe, Ross and Monica got together at a special tribute dinner in honour of director James Burrows, I – along with most of the world – was left feeling bamboozled. Not only was the meet between co-stars Matt le Blanc, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer and…

QUITERIA & GEORGE Our style of design is minimal with one focal point, which, in most cases, includes beadwork or our signature cut-outs. Nicki would rock this outfit – she’s all about fitted glamorous clothes. She always shows off her best assets: her cleavage, booty and tiny waist. Our design offers her all the elements she loves. We wanted to give her a sexy Barbie look. Nicki’s style is exactly what we do: simple but bold. Facebook.com/Quiteria-and-george JESSICA JANE Looking at her Instagram, I realised that, while Nicki is an out-of-the-box person, from time to time she also dresses simply. For my design, there were a few style factors that were a must for it to be a Nicki Minaj number. It needed to show off her bust, hips and…

TOBEY MAGUIRE Leo and Tobey have been best buds since they were 12 and auditioning for the same parts. While Leo’s career skyrocketed to the A-list and stayed there, Tobey shunned the spotlight after Spiderman in favour of a quiet life with his wife, jewellery designer Jennifer Meyer, and their two kids, Ruby, 9, and Otis, 6. LUKAS HAAS He was all set to be “the next Leo” in 1998 thanks to roles in Boys Don’t Cry and Mars Attacks! He even dated Natalie Portman for a bit. But, alas, Lukas’ star did not rise. Fortunately for him, he’s always on call to party and travel with Leo. And occasionally scores roles in Leo’s films, too. KEVIN CONNOLLY Art eventually imitated life for Kevin – who we all know as…

WITH JUST A FEW WEEKS left until Chrissy Teigen gives birth, the shmodel has been working non-stop to promote her new cookbook, Cravings, after it was released last week. Stepping out for a handful of public appearances in New York, clad in designer get-up and styled by Monica Rose, Mrs Legend gave us some major wardrobe envy. Despite being seven-and-a-half months pregnant, Chrissy proved that maternity style doesn’t have to be drab, thanks to her range of gorgeous outfits. We round up our top seven. LOOK 1 Just a few days after her show-stopping attendance at the Oscars, Chrissy was spotted wearing a gorgeous soft mink-coloured coat with thigh-high boots at LAX. Talk about travelling in style! LOOK 2 Arriving at the Good Morning America studio in a skin-tight blue…

DESPITE RECENTLY breaking up with Dougie Poynter for the second time (due to their conflicting work schedules), Ellie Goulding looked like she didn’t have a care in the world when she put on a stellar show in Zurich last week. It wasn’t just her performance that got people talking, however – nor was it her recent heartbreak. Instead, fans took to Twitter to express their concern over how different Ellie looks – specifically her fuller pout. “Has Ellie bought herself a new face?” one fan tweeted. Another confused concertgoer wrote, “What happened to Ellie’s lips?” The 29-year-old, who shot to fame thanks to her 2012 song Burn, has admitted feeling insecure about her looks. “I hated my nose, my chin, even my eyebrows, and I got into this awful cycle…

‘My hair is inspired by Sza and Erykah Badu’ NXOLO SIKAKANE, 19 Geology student TROUSERS: The pinstriped trousers set the foundation for this borrowed-from-the boys look. SHOES: Flatform brogues are an edgy way to do the guy-style trend. SOCKS: Add a girly touch to a masculine outfit with some cute frilly socks. ‘My style is laid-back and chilled’ GABRIELLA MARIO, 21 LLB student DRESS: Minimal effort with maximum effect.

NOT SURPRISING IN A TIME when it feels like we’re all in combat mode, the military trend is back. We’re loving it for its easy silhouettes and versatile colours. But here’s a new take on an old fave, courtesy of Balmain, Max Mara and Isabel Marant… Fatigues are now being mixed with the 70s look for a whole new edge. So wear your khaki boiler suit with a tan polo-neck or that suede dress with a nylon jacket, soldiers of the 70s! SHOP THESE ITEMS ONLINE AT GRAZIADAILY.CO.ZA ADD TO CART…

RECREATING THIS LOOK is easier than you think – it may take a little practice, but once you’ve nailed it, we suspect you’ll braid before blow-dry any day! 1. Start by brushing out your hair – knots are not your friend with this look. The Dessata Mini brush, R100, detangles hair easily without breaking your strands. It’s also super compact and the perfect size for keeping in your gym bag – great for those mornings you opt for a post-workout braid. 2. Next, create a centre part down the middle of your scalp. Using a tail comb like the one from ghd, R149, helps to get the part as even as possible – especially if you have thicker hair. Precision is key with this look, as a skew hair part…
