Nicki disappointed meet and greet fans Nicki Minaj let down 20 fans who had paid R3 000 to meet her after her Joburg show. The star, who was in the country for her Pinkprint tour, apologised and told the crowd that she never approved a meet and greet. “I don’t do meet and greets‚” she said. “Please get your money back.” She did, however, agree to pose for a few pictures. ZUMA DENIED RESPONSIBILITY President Jacob Zuma nonchalantly responded to questions in parliament about his dismissal of former finance minister Nhlanhla Nene and the scandal involving the Guptas. The prez was adamant that the recent allegations of the family offering cabinet posts to ANC politicians had nothing to do with him. AN ALL-FEMALE CREW MADE A HISTORIC FLIGHT The first-ever…

THE BEGINNING OF APRIL brings with it the big boot question – what boots are we rocking this winter? We suggest you try the versatile ankle boot. You can wear it with just about anything, but start with a pair of cropped trousers. Make sure to get the right pair of boots though – think block heel, 70s-inspired and totally walkable.…

IT’S A RARE THING INDEED when images of the notoriously awkward and press-shy Kristen Stewart engaging in blatant displays of PDA emerge. So, who is this person who has K-Stew so smitten? Her name is SoKo (okay, her real name is Stephanie Sokolinski), and she’s a 30-year-old French pop sensation/actress. The eagle-eyed among you may recognise her from 2014’s viral video First Kiss, where a blonde SoKo was filmed making out with a stranger for fashion label Wren, with her single We Might Be Dead Tomorrow serving as the soundtrack. They share a pal in Karl Lagerfeld. While Kristen is a Chanel brand ambassador – King Karl is Chanel creative director, remember? – SoKo was front and centre during this year’s Chanel Haute Couture show, and, if her Instagrams are…

MESSAGING IS HARD ENOUGH as it is. How many emojis should you include in your message? Are you coming off too aloof? But texting guys is sometimes damn near impossible – especially if you’re crushing on them. So we called in the textpert, resident dude Matt Galea, to translate every “’Sup?” and “LOL” of guy world to suss out just what he means. Contrary to popular belief, guys are just as emotionally vulnerable as girls. So sometimes when a guy is being vague and using a lot of slang words and emojis, he’s not turned off, he’s just playing it cool to keep you keen. But if a guy is clearly being rude and only responding with one-word answers like “K”, send him the hand-waving-goodbye emoji. WHAT HE MEANS Hey,…

OUR PANEL ALEXANDRA BOTHA Hair and make-up artist LIESL LAURIE Miss South Africa 2015 SASKIA BRUINDERS Grazia digital editor MOLLY SIMS LIESL This style has been around for a while, but it’s still chic and one of my fave looks. ALEXANDRA I’m in love with this bag. The structure and colour work. Not 100 percent sold on the shoes – they’re slightly “ou vrou”. YOU I love Molly’s look. Blazer, boyfriend jeans, and the bag adds a pop of colour. Higher black heels would have been better. HLENGIWE NOSIPHO BLAC CHYNA LIESL I love the Rihanna Pumas, but I think Blac’s overall look is a bit disappointing. ALEXANDRA Where is she going? A rave, judging by the bag. Hope she doesn’t poke an eye out with her talons on the…

What I’ve really come to love about the Grazia brand is the kind of in-depth coverage we can afford to give, as a weekly magazine, especially to fashion and beauty. Our fashion and beauty desks pore over the latest things on offer for the week, make their selections and present a well curated collection of products and treatments for your reading pleasure – and mine! – and they do this every week. Case in point is this week’s beauty main (pg 66). Grazia’s beauty ed Sinead Martin hand-picked four of her top miracle products on shelf at the moment. There’s a new weight-loss treatment, a product to make your manicure last that much longer, a formula that promises to transform your skin on the deepest level in just 24 hours…

FEMALE CELEBRITIES ARE always under the microscope. I write about their trials and tribulations on a daily basis in the very pages of this magazine. But this is probably the first time I’ve ever heard of a star being criticised for putting motherhood first. We all know that Queen Bey is a staunch feminist and firm advocate for women’s rights. However, when she finally gave her first interview in what feels like a gazillion years, and told Garage magazine recently that she puts being a mom to little Blue Ivy above her career, some people were noticeably angered – going so far as to call the superstar a hypocrite. “Out of everything I’ve accomplished,” she says in the interview, “my proudest moment hands down was when I gave birth to…

DESPITE THE FACT that their relationship of almost two years has been plagued by cheating rumours (mostly on his side) from the start, Kylie Jenner and Tyga still seem to be going strong. Well, that’s if Kylie’s Snapchats are anything to go by. But according to a source, even though the 18-year-old has dumped Tyga more than once, there’s a reason she always goes running back to the 26-year-old rapper. “He’s got so much dirt on her and her family, he thinks he can do what he wants, including sleeping around,” the source explains. Another insider confirms this: “Kylie’s big fear is that he’ll sell his interviews to the highest bidder and spill all the dirt on her and the family. That’s the only reason he’s still around. “Kylie knows…

SUMMER PHOENIX SEEMS to have taken a leaf from sister-in-law Jen Garner’s book by calling time on her marriage to husband Casey Affleck. The two have split – after nearly ten years of marriage and 16 years together. “Casey and Summer have amicably separated. They remain very close friends,” the 40-year-old actor’s rep confirmed. The two are parents to sons Indiana, 11, and Atticus, eight. Talk about déjà vu. According to multiple sources, Casey is a lot more like his famous older brother Ben than we suspected. “The reason they split is because Casey has almost exactly the same issues as Ben: he just can’t keep it in his pants,” reveals an insider. A second source says that Casey cheated on actress Summer, 37, throughout their relationship, but – for…

JADEN AND WILLOW SMITH FAMOUS FOLKS: Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith LATEST CLAIMS TO FAME: While 15-year-old Willow has just been named the new beauty brand ambassador for Chanel, and is also Karl Largerfeld’s muse and FROW regular, older brother Jaden, 17, has been making waves as the face of Louis Vuitton’s S/S16 womenswear campaign and fronting the cover of British GQ Style.

Lupita got stood up… As impossible as it might be to imagine, there was a time when Lupita Nyong’o couldn’t get a date. The Oscar winner reveals it happened during high school: “It was the first prom that my school had ever thrown. Prom was a very foreign concept in Kenya. I was on the committee to make it happen, and yeah, he didn’t show up.” So, if you see a guy literally kicking himself, you’ll know why. DOLLS WITH DISABILITIES WILL HELP EVERYONE BECOME BETTER PEOPLE. Inspired by the social media campaign Toy Like Me, British toymaker Makies have released an official line of customisable, realistic dolls to give children living with disabilities a doll they can relate to. There will be hearing aids, wheelchairs and guide dogs available…

1 UP DJ Zinhle The mom-of-one is rocking a super-short do after going au naturel in a look that she calls “brave”. We likey! 2 NON-MOVER K Middy Last week, the royal was criticised for wearing fur. This week, she’s back in the firing line for pulling out of presenting shamrocks to Irish Guards, so she can spend time with her kids… 3 UP Selena Gomez The songbird dethroned her BFF Taylor Swift to become the most followed person on Instagram. We double tap that! 4 UP Talvin Taylor Swift isn’t too bummed that her bestie dethroned her on Insta. Instead, she’s holidaying hard with her beau of one year, Calvin Harris. She even showed off some skin. 5 DOWN Diane von Fürstenberg The fashion designer and her hubby cloned…

WE ALMOST CHOKED on our coffee last week when we stumbled upon snaps of a shirtless Zaf Efron on the set of his new movie. While we’re no stranger to seeing Zac’s toned torso on screen – like in Bad Neighbors – there’s no denying the 28-year-old has packed on some major muscle for his role in the Baywatch remake. According to Zac, his ripped bod is down to months of intense weight training and a strict eating regime. “I work out on a Ninja Warrior-like training course, and I’m allowed zero carbs and sugar,” the star says. “I can only eat organic grass-fed/free-range protein and organic leafy greens.” While we’re sure diet and exercise played a major part in Zac bulking up, those close to the star reveal he’s…

… AND IN WITH THE NEW. This past fashion month has seen the very first collections of a quartet of brand-new creative heads at three of the world’s biggest fashion houses hit the ramps. That’s right, old favourites Raf Simons, Alber Elbaz and Alexander Wang left their top spots at Dior, Lanvin and Balenciaga respectively to make space for some new talent. Here’s who you should be looking out for, for now at least… DEMNA GVASALIA – BALENCIAGA Demna rose through the fashion ranks, previously being on design teams at Louis Vuitton and Maison Martin Margiela. He is head designer at Vetements – the young but buzzed about collective of seven anonymous designers – and plans to retain this role too. The wait between the announcement of Demna as artistic…

WHEN DID YOU DISCOVER YOUR LOVE OF SINGING? When I was in primary school – we had a choir at school. We also had piano class, which many of the kids found boring, but I found it interesting. I was also doing ballet back then. All things music intrigued me. WHAT WERE YOU LIKE AS A KID? Growing up in Soweto’s Moroka North, aka Number 1, I was afraid of girls because they didn’t really like me. The whole clique thing turned me off. I played with boys a lot and went through a tomboy phase. TALK US THROUGH ELOGRAM – WHAT WERE SOME OF THE HIGHS AND LOWS OF RECORDING YOUR FIRST EP? Having Elogram happen is a complete high, and I’m satisfied with that. I’ve not been allowed…

THE MAIN ATTRACTION Natural and serene work best for an outdoor setting, so play around with soothing colours – we went for soft baby blue, white and green – and textures, like the twig baskets and ivy made into a wreath. As comfort is also key, don’t be afraid to layer cosy scatters. And of course, what’s Easter without a few bunnies, chicks and eggs around the table? ALOE THERE Placing a succulent in a vintage teacup is a simple – and cost-effective – way to add to the textural centrepiece and create interest. BUNNY EARS Follow this step-by-step guide to fold your own ear napkins. Step 1: Place a square napkin on a flat surface with the side you wish to have visible facing down, and the other side…
