I’ve just returned from New York, where I took the train (Amtrak) to Princeton. Since I knew that we were going to put the US’s First Lady on our cover (pg 12), it made the two-hour trip for an overnight stay more poignant. As you know, Michelle Obama is an alumna and I’ve always been curious about the university that was Einstein’s alma mater. It’s also the varsity that Carlton and Will attended in the hit TV series The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air. The only way I can describe the town is that it looks like those jigsaw puzzles with autumn landscapes and incredible heritage architecture. Absolutely beautiful. And I was blown away by their art museum that boasts an impressive collection of artists like Vincent van Gogh, Andy…

AFTER DECADES REPORTEDLY spent devoting his attention to blonde socialites, it seems as though Prince Harry has fallen for the charms of Suits star Meghan Markle. The pair have apparently been dating on the down-low for a couple of months since meeting in Toronto, Canada, in May. So how serious are they? Instagram serious. According to a source, Harry started following Meghan from his alleged secret account when Meghan posted a selfie from her trip to Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire in the UK wearing a blue beaded bracelet very similar to the one Prince Harry is known to sport… A little more Insta stalking reveals that 35-year-old Meghan, who stars as paralegal Rachel Zane in the hit legal drama, has made quite a few trips to the UK this year…

FOR THE PAST 36 YEARS, the Standard Bank Young Artist Awards have been shining a light on the boldest creative minds our country has to offer, including Sibongile Khumalo, William Kentridge and Mbongeni Ngema. Last week, the new class was revealed, and Dineo Seshee Bopape emerged as the winner of the 2017 Standard Bank Young Artist for Performance Art award. Speaking to Grazia last week, Dineo, 35, reveals: “Winning the award has been interesting. I’m still processing the feelings and thoughts. “My family is thrilled and my friends are celebrating. Right now, I’m on a train en route to New York City to prepare for my upcoming show – which has nothing to do with the Standard Bank Young Artist awards. I may only be able to fully process it…

EARLIER THIS YEAR, former Miss South Africa 2010 Bokang M Tshabalala traded in her trademark weave for a shorter do, revealing her new look on Insta. Last week, this year’s co-judge of the Hairstylist of the Year Awards made another huge Insta announcement: she’s in the middle of opening a chain of Bokang’s Hair & Beauty Salons. “I have always been interested in the hair and beauty industry. Two years ago, I launched my own brand of weaves, so opening a beauty salon just seemed like the next logical step,” she tells Grazia. Of her personal hair journey, the 30-year-old reveals: “Growing up, I really didn’t like my hair. Now, not only do I love my hair, but I take care of it and nurture it. “I guess that comes…

Bring on the NewYear’s champers! 8/10 KAREN: Kourtney’s post-Scott body is smoking hot, but this outfit seems more like a Catwoman costume, and the lace mid-section makes her torso appear very short. I’ve seen her in better. 6/10 YOU: You can never go wrong in an LBD,…

I opinion have , a dresses boyfriend really who, well in my . I think that may have been one of the things that attracted me to him in the first place.

THE SPORNOSEXUAL This guy is the evolved metrosexual. The term was coined by journalist Mark Simpson, who describes spornosexuals as “men who strive to look like sportsmen or porn stars”. The category came to him when he noted a rise in the hypersexualised, homoprovocative imagery of sportsmen. Namely the Dolce & Gabbana fashion shoots featuring the Italian national football team in the shower and French rugby players in Dieux du Stade’s nude calendars. How does he differ from the metrosexual guy? He’s just as plucked, tanned and moisturised, but the spornosexual is buffer and obsessed with the proportions of his frame – the striation of his abs, the vascularity of his biceps and the definition of his calves. Still not sure if this is your guy? Check his Instagram account…

IN HONOUR of completing 35 years on the planet, Nicole Richie was inspired to address her lack of shame over her past indiscretions for Lena Dunham’s Lenny Letter last week. Full disclosure: next year, I’ll be 35. This means I’m old enough to be part of the generation that constantly breathes a sigh of relief at not having to endure any form of social media during our notoriously awkward adolescence and the years slightly beyond… The only people who have any real idea of how much of an idiot I was back then are the ones who were physically there to witness it. And they’re still in my life because we’ve all made solemn pinkie promises to take those memories to the grave. That doesn’t mean I wasn’t as much…

IT SEEMS AS though Taylor Swift has returned to her regularly scheduled programming: being the most famous pop star on the planet. And with #Hiddleswift – her short-lived but super intense romance with Tom Hiddleston – barely more than a memory, rumours have begun to surface that Taylor has turned her attention towards someone new. And that someone is Drake. The pair were spotted flirting at his 30th birthday party in LA last week, where everyone from Katy Perry to John Mayer showed up to celebrate at hot spot Delilah. Everyone, that is, except for Drake’s on-again/off-again love, Rihanna, who was in New York filming for Ocean’s Eight with Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett… It seems Taylor and Drake go way back. The pair have been friends ever since they…

First up, wash your face and lightly exfoliate the areas that are about to be waxed. This gets rid of any unwanted dirt and bacteria, which means it isn’t being pressed into your skin and clogging up your pores. Next, apply a touch of baby powder around your eyebrows and to your upper lip before your treatment. The powder makes it easier for the wax to grip your hairs, while absorbing any excess oil on the area, thus reducing contact irritation. No touching! It’s that simple. Do not run your fingers across your newly plucked skin, as this clogs your open pores by transferring the bacteria from your hands to your face. Stay away from oils. Synthetic oils can cause breakouts on your compromised skin, so stick to moisturising products…

A triple Jameson. When was the last time you were really embarrassed? I was at a lunch with Chris Forrest and assumed he’d take the bill… I was mistaken. Who was the last person you kissed? My mom. It wasn’t in a weird way. It was a standard mama’s boy to mama kiss. When did you last lose your temper? Last night. I wasn’t watching it,…

THE GERMAN CAPITAL has a unique, fascinating history, an alternative edge, a vibrant arts scene, historical attractions galore, loads of green spaces, and, of course, its famously wild nightlife… The best way to see Berlin is to explore the city neighbourhood by neighbourhood, instead of ticking sights off a list. What you’ll discover are farmers’ markets, coffee shops, amazing performances by buskers, riverside beach bars, huge street art murals, offbeat shops, streets full of buzzing pavement cafés and restaurants, and many places to sit, drink a beer, and take it all in. The warm summer months of June to September might be the best time to visit, but they’re also the priciest. Hitting Berlin just before winter really sets in will give you a chance to sample their amazing Christmas…

IF YOU’RE FINANCIALLY SAVVY, you’ll know that the costs and cons involved with larger vehicles far outweigh the pros. Aside from the purchase price, there’s fuel consumption, servicing, tyres and the inconvenience of having to manoeuvre a bulky frame through city streets. About as much fun as a vacation getaway in your spare room. Going compact with your car is the latest vehicle trend and the perfect solution to these First-World problems. Plus, caring for the environment is going to save you extra cash that you can use on better things, like a new clutch (the bag, not the car part), those heels that you’ve been eyeing, or an LBD for a night on the town. Living small when it comes to getting around is going to let you live…

Robert Downey Jr had an enviable career in the 80s, but threw it all away with drugs and arrests – only to come back sober and better than ever to star in iconic roles including Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes. Drew Barrymore was once a troubled child star, dealing with alcohol and drugs. But she shed her bad-girl image and moved on to become a respected movie star, director, and even has her own production company. Kelly Osbourne has done three stints in rehab for addiction to painkillers. She relapsed, but after the final time in 2009, she figured her stuff out, and has built a pretty impressive career for herself on E! Martha Stewart is known as America’s homemaker, but for a while, she was also…

FAMILY AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE is a major problem in India, and young women bear the brunt of this abuse. Chayn India is a crowd-sourced online support platform to empower Indian women trapped in abusive situations, and it’s achieving encouraging success by giving women access to help via Snapchat. This is the brainchild of advertising executive Rajshekar Patil, who had the initial idea and then partnered with Chayn India and Indian counselling service LoveDoctor to put it into practice. As Chayn India manager Nida Sheriff points out: “In Indian society, it is frowned upon to talk about issues like abuse, sexual or otherwise.” The problem is even worse for teens and young women, as accusations of abuse are often dismissed as “teen rebellion”. But most Indian women do have a mobile…

I AM FASHION OBSESSED, to put it mildly. My days can easily be spent stalking all my favourite street style gurus from around the world, from South Africa and Nigeria to Russia and everywhere in between. Fashion is an extension of your personality and my aim is for people to know who I am before I even have the chance to open my mouth. I guess this Victoria Beckham quote best sums up my look: “I can’t concentrate in flats.” I love layering, being entirely impractical and dressing up, and I hate putting on the easiest option. Fashion is art to me, and no artist would ever take the easy route. THE BREAKDOWN: After many months of opening my closet, struggling to find something to wear, and ultimately giving up,…

Pretoria-based gynae Dr Lynette Reynders gave us her stamp of approval when it comes to eating dairy. “Yoghurt cultures create an acidic milk format,” she explains, “and it’s a protein, which gives us a feeling of fullness.” She adds that protein helps to normalise our metabolic processes by stimulating the hormones that regulate our food intake.
