I have a few items in my winter wardrobe that have pride of place. A particular one (because I do have a heel fetish) is a pair of Miu Miu boots I got from one of my favourite vintage stores in Cape Town. The price tag made my debit card shiver a little, so I had to think about how I could justify spending that amount of money. But since I’m petite and battle to find boots that fit my skinny calves, the fact that these were my size and from such a great fashion label made for a great swing vote. It also helped that the owner was sweet enough to give me a discount as I handed over the plastic. This week, the fashion team have gone out…

AKA was dad-shamed After the rapper shared a picture of his 11-month-old tot at a show, trolls began speculating over whom the “reserved” seat was for, alluding to the love triangle with baby mama DJ Zinhle and current GF Bonang Matheba. AKA responded, “It’s for my daughter because she has her own seat. Idiots. Never sharing another photo of my daughter again. You c*nts don’t deserve it.” AKA follows Jo-Ann Strauss, who also doesn’t share pics of her sprogs online for fear of abuse. THE SABC DROPPED A BOMB There were mixed responses last week when the SABC announced that as of May 12, all 18 of its radio stations would play 90 percent South African music. Former 5fm DJ Catherine Grenfell (pictured) told Grazia, “It’s great that more local…

1 UP Corinne Bailey Rae It’s been years since Corinne was last heard on our radios, but she’s back with a new album – much to the delight of our eardrums. 2 UP Rihanna The Bajan singer is offering scholarships of up to R775 000 to needy students through her Clara Lionel Foundation. All the warm and fuzzies. 3 UP Kgomotso Christopher From villain to man-eater… Kgomotso confirmed she’ll be joining Scandal! asa “blessee” – a woman who uses men for money, so she doesn’t have to work. 4 UP Solange Knowles Anyone who slays this well in dusty pink deserves a top spot on this page. We know it’s shallow, but hey, someone had to say it. 5 DOWN Azealia Banks The singer went on a racist rant against…

KATY PERRY HASN’T had great luck in relationships. Brit comedian Russell Brand ended their marriage with an SMS while she was away on tour in 2011 – only a year after they wed atop elephants in India. Then love rat John Mayer strung her along for four years, despite rumours that he was frequently unfaithful and jealous of her fame. They split for good in December. Orlando Bloom was supposed to be different. We’ve seen six months of them making out in parks, going on play dates with his five-year-old son, Flynn, and wearing matching Tamagotchis to the Met Gala – as far as we could tell, Katy and Orlando appeared to be the very definition of loved-up. So when grainy images of Orlando, 39, looking cosy with 23-year-old Selena…

NOMZAMO MBATHA BECAME the envy of the Grazia office last week, when she jetted off to the 69th Cannes Film Festival, where she got to rub shoulders with Tinseltown’s elite. “This trip was completely last-minute,” the 25-year-old actress tells Grazia exclusively. “The Joburg Film Festival invited me to be part of the Cannes launch of their inaugural festival, which will happen later this year.” This was Nomzamo’s first visit to the resort town on the French Riviera, and she says it’s been life-changing. “I met so many interesting and diverse people who are passionate about acting and making films. “I saw what it really takes to put a production together and heard people talk money. There’s so much more to the festival than the red carpet screenings we see in…

NEW YORK LOS ANGELES THE WORLD IS MINNIE DLAMINI’S oyster – she just jetted off to the States on a work-vacay (yes, it’s a thing). Along with her BFF Azola Mona, Minnie hit New York first. After shopping up a storm and taking in the Big Apple’s sights, the 25-year-old presenter had a meet-and-greet with fans at the Madiba restaurant in Brooklyn, where she now has a dish named after her. Among the fans were Empire actor Malik Yoba and stylist Ursula Stephen, who counts Rihanna and Laverne Cox as clients. It’s pretty obvious Minnie’s brand has officially spread Stateside. “My team and I have made a few contacts in the US over the years, and I spent some time meeting up with them and brainstorming,” Minnie tells Grazia exclusively.…

THE 80s FASHION revival means gold is back with a shimmering bang. Bright, bold and oh-so-shiny, this is the metallic to try this season. And with a choice of materials, textures and accessories, you won’t go wrong adding a hint of bling to your outfits.…

‘I FOUND OUT ON FACEBOOK THAT SOMEONE ELSE HAD GOT THE JOB THAT WAS PRETTY MUCH PROMISED TO ME’ WE’RE ALL AWARE OF the concept of “ghosting” in personal relationships. You meet someone, sparks fly and you start dating, only to have them suddenly stop answering your calls, WhatsApps, Facebook DMs or carrier pigeons. No explanations, no “so long, and thanks for all the fish” given. It seems like petty, impersonal and, bottom line, disrespectful behaviour. And most of the time it is. This makes it all the more surprising to discover that “ghosting” is beginning to become a trend in the workplace, too. Just ask Jozi-based graphic designer Jessica Lister. “I really thought that I had made a good impression during my job interview,” she tells Grazia, “but obviously,…

We’ll be moving into our new home in January 2017.The house will be completed in December. Building commenced in February this year. We plan to live there for at least two to five years while we start our family. Because it’s a standard design in a complex, there isn’t too much involved with layout or architectural elements. However, we’re able to install all the finishes we want before we move in and not worry about the hassle of renovations at a later stage. The one thing I can advise when building is to watch your budget very carefully. It can run away with you quickly. Also, pick a builder you trust and know that you’re going to have to invest time to check up on the building site as often…

TOES, KNEES AND THIGHS Go knee-high for an edgy look, or try thigh-high if you dare, like Grazia fashion director Nonkuthalo Thithi.

WHEN I IMAGINE A TYPICAL RACIST in South Africa, the image that comes to mind is someone who hates black people; who has no black friends; who sees all black people as criminals and isn’t scared to make outright racist comments – either in public or in their homes. In other words, I don’t think of a High Court judge. But a few weeks ago, Mabel Jansen proved me wrong. In an open debate on social activist Gillian Schutte’s Facebook page in 2015, Mabel commented on the horrors of sexually violent crimes in case files she dealt with during her time as a High Court judge – which has only been three years. She wrote that “the gang rape of baby, daughter and mother is a pleasant pastime” and that…

WE KNOW HOW crazy life can be when you’re a working mom – numerous meetings, carting children around, plus you still need to look your best. So when you need a little me-time, indulge in an aromatic, barista-made cappuccino from McCafé, available at McDonald’s. Made from 100 percent Arabica beans, it’s the perfect pick-me-up for the moments in-between. And after your well-deserved break, we give you full permission to head to the shops and get your hands on a pair of the latest cappuccino-coloured boots.

BONANG, AKA AND ZINHLE After almost three years together, AKA and DJ Zinhle’s relationship came to a sudden end in August, when Zinhle revealed that AKA had fallen in love with Bonang – a month after the couple had welcomed their daughter, Kairo, into the world. KELLY KHUMALO, SENZO MEYIWA AND HIS WIFE, MANDISA MKHIZE In 2013, Kelly and Mandisa literally came to blows over the late Bafana Bafana captain, when Kelly spotted Senzo and Mandisa chatting on the side of the road. Senzo would eventually leave his wife for Kelly in 2014, months before being shot and killed during an alleged robbery at Kelly’s home. DA L.E.S, CHIANOSKY AND AUREA ALEXANDER We’re not quite sure if Da L.E.S and his baby mama, Aurea, were on a break during this…

DAYTIME EVENING JUST BECAUSE IT’S GETTING COLDER doesn’t mean we’re doing away with the underwear-as-outwear trend. Work it for day or night – and look winter-chic while doing it. Stick to neutral staples and mix it up with prints. We show you how……

AS A YOUNG GIRL, Zohre Esmaeli lived in fear and oppression, but when she was 13, she and her family risked everything to flee Afghanistan and seek refuge in Germany. Back then, the now 30-year-old could never have imagined how her life would turn out… “I was nine when the Taliban seized control of Kabul, the province in which we lived in Afghanistan – and everything changed overnight,” Zohre says. “I wasn’t allowed to leave the house unaccompanied and had to wear a burqa wherever I went. I found it cumbersome, but it did protect me from the terrifying stares of the Taliban militants.” Death by stoning is common under Taliban rule. Zohre recalls how militants would summon the people of Kabul to gather in the local sports stadium and…

‘My current battle with relapsing began when I decided to “be more healthy” by drinking more water and incorporating more salads into my diet’ FOR THE PAST three years, I’ve had what I like to refer to as “the weirdest best job”. I am the head chef at a university residence. I prepare and serve two meals a day, five days a week, to anywhere from 50 to 150 young women. Somehow, I was lucky enough to turn one of my greatest passions – food – into a livelihood. I’ve also been in recovery from anorexia nervosa for ten years, and I’ve been fighting off a relapse for the past year-and-a-half. It’s actually been well documented that preoccupation or fascination with food and cooking is part of having an eating…

“I REALLY LIKE HIM,” said my friend Tara, “but I think he might be a racist.” She was talking about her new boyfriend, or rather the guy she was interviewing for the job of new bf. “Why do you think so?” I asked. Usually when you think someone might be racist, he probably is. “Because he only ever goes out with white girls,” Tara replied. I suppose I should explain at this point that Tara is white, but the guy she’s considering going out with isn’t. We pondered this question for a while. “Can black people be racist?” I wondered. “Can they be racist for liking white people too much?” “Not white people,” she said. “White women. And I don’t know! It just seems weird to me.” I probed a…

We all need some extra motivation to keep moving during winter, so we turned to London-based James Duigan – founder of the Bodyism fitness method and the man who has trained some of the world’s most beautiful bodies – for some workout inspiration… What is Bodyism, and how does it work? It’s the science of a clean, lean, athletic body and living a happy and healthy life. The main aim when I created Bodyism was to transform and empower – the philosophy is to be kind to yourself in every aspect of your life. Since the launch back in 2006, Bodyism has exploded into a global wellness movement encompassing gyms and retreats, cookbooks, activewear collections, vegan health supplements, healthy teas, cafes and concept stores. What is your number one rule…

I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED CLOTHES. When I was nine years old, my mother bought a sewing machine because she wanted to learn how to sew. She literally couldn’t put a hem in a terry cloth. She placed the sewing machine in my bedroom and told me not to touch it. One day I was looking at the machine, and it looked pretty simple to me – I couldn’t understand why she didn’t get it. So I got some material and made her an outfit and put it on a hanger. When she came home she asked where it came from, and I told her that I made it. She loved it and ended up wearing it to work the next day – and brought me home another pattern to make!…

We’re drooling over Rhumaa’s S/S16 line. Till now, Rhumaa’s offerings have been designed and created in South Africa but sold only in the Netherlands. Good news – they’ll soon be available here at home, too! In the meantime, we can’t get enough of their Supreme Woman S/S16 collection – a collaboration with SA artist Esaias, who was inspired by Ndebele art when creating his prints and statement pieces. JAMES BLAKE AND BON IVER MAKE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC TOGETHER. The first single from The Colour In Anything, James’ surprise-drop album, sees the Brit electro wonder team up with moody indie master Bon Iver for the track I Need A Forest Fire. The only thing better? The atmospheric and slightly trippy music video that goes along with it, in which statues crumble to…

Chester Missing “So Judge Mabel’s only defence is: ‘Yeah, she’s a racist but she doesn’t let it get in the way’?” Simphiwe Dana “All her past judgements should go under review.” Mo Flava “Mabel Jansen’s comments and views on black people make me wonder about others in positions of power or authority and how they view blacks.” Steve Hofmeyr “I cannot for the life of me find a case of white kids scaling the fences of black homes raping their elders…”…

IN THE VERY WEEK that Julia Roberts kicked off her black platforms to climb the steps at Cannes, a woman named Nicola Thorp created a petition to change UK dress codes in the workplace, after she was sent home without pay for wearing flats to her (temp) job at the finance company PwC in London. High heels also came under fire when a Canadian waitress’ pic of her bleeding feet – as a result of being forced to wear heels on the job – went viral. And after making it through two rounds of choreography during her performance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon for her latest single Me Too, Meghan Trainor wiped out in spectacular fashion when her sky-high platforms suddenly got the better of her. But even…

‘I wear whatever I like. I take a fluid approach when it comes to fashion’ MPUMI MHLAKAZA, 29 Consultant EARRINGS: Hoops are back, and the rule is the bigger, the better. SNEAKERS: Take a formal look down a notch with über-cool high tops. ‘My style is minimal with a street edge’ MINITA JEQUE, 24 Fashion student SHIRT: Borrow from the boys and pop on an oversized men’s shirt. LEGGINGS: Leather-look leggings give your oversized shirt an edge. BROGUES: Minita’s chunky brogues are the best way to keep comfy and on trend. ‘For me, form follows function’ KENEILWE MOTHOA, 24 Interior designer TOPS: Add interest to the classic white shirt by layering a sweater over it.

OUR PANEL CRYSTAL BIRCH Stylist, art director and milliner RICOLE GREEN Brand marketing activation manager at Style, Adidas South Africa SASKIA BRUINDERS Grazia online editor GIGI HADID RICOLE Let’s hope she’s just come from gym in those leggings. Athleisure is on-trend, but this is looking a bit disjointed. I would swop the Vans for of Yeezy sneakers. CRYSTAL A sexy sartorial walk, but she should have worn a pair of Dr. Martens. The light-coloured shoes don’t complement her outfit. YOU Love the casual street look. That orange jacket is the bomb! MADELEIN OOSTHUIZEN ALEXANDRA SHIPP CRYSTAL The actress’ romantic, androgynous flair is incredibly refreshing. SASKIA She’s so brave, pairing this classic lace dress with green Docs.

WHERE WE SPOTTED IT First popularised in the 70s, apricot made a comeback on the A/W16 ramps. We spotted it specifically at Hervé Léger and Christopher Raeburn… WHY WE LOVED IT Contrasting cooler-coloured eyes and bringing out flecks in warmer ones, these sunset hues work for everyone. (And they’re here to stay!) WAYS TO WEAR IT Apply an eye primer base before you smooth the apricot shadow over your lids. (Bronzer works as a great shadow alternative.) Blend with your fingers, and finish with a touch of gloss over the lids for an extra touch of glam. No liner or mascara on your lower lashline, but maximise the apricot punch with multiple layers of mascara on your top lashes. Finish with a light touch of bronzer on the apples of…

‘CONFIDENCE DOES NOT EQUAL ARROGANCE, KINDNESS DOES NOT EQUAL WEAKNESS’ RICCI-LEE KALISH, 24 We asked actress and blogger Ricci-Lee Kalish to take an exclusive selfie for Grazia and reveal all… Who is your best friend? It’s a cliché, but my mom is the person I’m closest to. She is always guiding me in the right direction and everything I’ve achieved is thanks to her. What is your biggest regret? Not embracing all that school had to offer. I feel like I missed out on learning and experiencing so many different things because I was insecure and worried about what other people would think of me. What was your biggest extravagance lately? My Wolf & Maiden leather bag – but my boyfriend Tristan bought it for me for Christmas, so it’s…

FOOD TREND MATCHA If Gwyneth Paltrow is a fan – which she is – then you know you need to get in on the food trend too. Matcha, the umami-tasting green-tea powder that’s traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies, has found its way into marvellous creations like matcha milkshakes, matcha popsicles, matcha tartlets and matcha lattes. It’s also great infused in gnocchi, soufflés and brioche. The best part is that it’s packed with antioxidants, helps regulate blood sugar and aids in reducing blood pressure. TAKE ME TO NEW YORK You’ll be excused for thinking you’ve stepped into a stylish New York eatery when you walk through the dusty pink doors of Cape Town’s newest addition, Mulberry & Prince. The brainchild of foodie friends Cornel Mostert and Cynthia Rivera, the elegant…
