Heidi Klum stepped onto the Met Gala carpet as a living sculpture - a striking homage to The Veiled Vestal by Italian sculptor Raffaelle Monti. Created by Mike Marino, the look transformed latex and spandex into the illusion of carved marble, echoing the softness, stillness and technical impossibility of the original sculpture. The veiled face, the delicate folds, the almost stone-like texture - every detail blurred the line between body, fabric and fine art. And this is wher

Menopause was something I heard my mother whisper about with her friends-a distant, almost mythical phase I filed under old age problems. Certainly not mine. Not now. Not anytime soon. So when a friend casually asked if I might be in perimenopause, I almost recoiled. Excuse me? Why is my name in the same sentence as menopause? I’m not even old enough. Or so I thought. Then, like a slow-building tsunami, it arrived. Not in my body first-but on my screen. Think pieces. Reels. C

Tomorrow, May 5, is the Met Gala - the most important night in global fashion. And once again, all eyes are on Anna Wintour. But before there was Anna… there was Diana Vreeland. Consider this your fashion history refresher-because if you know fashion, you know it always looks back to move forward. Scroll to read more.

Why waiting to be recognised is quietly stalling your career. There’s a myth many professionals still operate under: that if you work hard enough, someone will notice. That your consistency will speak for itself. That your results will travel. That your name will come up in the rooms that matter. Sometimes it does. But often, it doesn’t. In this piece, Franka Chiedu explores how self-silencing - a psychological pattern where individuals downplay or withhold their voice, achie

At the just-concluded OnPoint Expression Fashion Showcase, the brand transformed the runway into a living narrative, where fashion met feeling and every look carried intention. It was an evening steeped in elegance, but charged with something deeper: identity, artistry, and unapologetic self-expression. Five exclusive collections unfolded seamlessly across the runway, brought to life by 22 professional models whose presence moved beyond presentation into performance. Strategi

Franka Chiedu and Ujunwa Ogadimma dissect The Honest Bunch Podcast interview with Roby Ekpo, unpacking the deeply layered breakdown of his marriage to Mayowa. What initially presents as a vulnerable, almost confessional moment quickly unfolds into a more complex narrative-one that raises questions about truth, timing, and the power of public storytelling. Together, they examine not just what was said, but what was implied, omitted, and later challenged. Let's get into it. Uju

Africa Live Entertainment Conference 2026 Concludes in Johannesburg, Marking a Turning Point for the Continent’s Live Entertainment Industry The Africa Live Entertainment Conference (ALEC) 2026 wrapped up this week after three days of intensive dialogue in Johannesburg, South Africa, bringing together a broad coalition of stakeholders from across the live entertainment ecosystem. Leading the charge is convener Sasha P, who is rapidly becoming a defining voice in the push to

The debate on proximity, power, and workplace dynamics isn’t as black and white as it seems - it calls for nuance, not outrage or blind agreement. Franka Chiedu writes. Emma Grede’s comments have struck a nerve, particularly with women and especially women of colour, because they touch on a truth many people experience but rarely say out loud: Workplaces still reward visibility, proximity, and informal influence. Being physically present often means you are in the room when d

Megan Thee Stallion has taken to social media to publicly address her relationship with Klay Thompson, accusing the basketball star of cheating and emotional inconsistency. In a now-viral post, the rapper did not hold back, writing: “Cheating… had me around your whole family playing house… got ‘cold feet’. Holding you down through all your horrible mood swings and treatment towards me during your basketball season - now you don’t know if you can be ‘monogamous’?? I need a rea

In Lagos, where culture and commerce constantly collide, turning 50 is rarely just a birthday. For Cecil Hammond, it became something more deliberate a moment that reflected not only legacy, but direction. The founder of Rhythm Unplugged and Flytime Fest marked the occasion with a private gathering that felt less like a party and more like a statement. The room brought together some of the most influential figures across business, entertainment, and media Aliko Dangote, Femi

As dawn settled softly over Lagos, Tiffany Amber welcomed a quietly powerful circle of women into its Ikoyi sanctuary — Tiffany Amber Gardens for the second edition of the Tiffany Amber Breakfast Club, an intimate gathering devoted not to spectacle, but to stillness. Conceived as a moment to close International Women's Month, the morning unfolded under a singular purpose: to create space for reflection, alignment, and intention in the lives women are crafting. Because at Tiff

There’s something quietly powerful about products that do more with less-and BY TERRY understands this intimately. The new Tea To Tan Lip & Cheek is a water-light tint designed to deliver that just-pinched, just-back-from-sun flush-effortless, buildable, and deeply wearable. Arriving in a single universal shade, ‘Sweet Cherry’, the formula adapts rather than dictates. One swipe gives a sheer veil of colour; layering builds intensity without heaviness.But this isn’t just about
