Tiwa Savage certainly knows how to make a fashion statement, and her recent appearance at Fally Ipupa’s 20th anniversary celebration at London's O2 Arena was no exception. Clad in a figure-hugging, high-shine black latex ensemble, dramatically layered with an oversized purple faux-fur jacket, the Afrobeats star delivered a masterclass in maximalist glamour. Chunky sculptural gold bangles, statement earrings and a sleek, perfectly coiffed bob completed the look, striking a del

The problem is that as you progress through the ranks, you begin to encounter ceilings that require more than competence, hard work or experience to shatter. Some of these ceilings are constructed from cronyism, nepotism, favouritism, selective visibility and the unspoken politics of belonging. Competence, ironically, is not always the

When did taking care of our skin become an excuse to buy everything? Lately, I've noticed that TK Maxx has gone absolutely mental with its skincare and beauty offerings. And, on God, my bank balance has suffered terribly as a result. I've been buying all sorts of skincare products, some I had never even heard of before, and without doing much research, I've been happily slapping all sorts of things on my face. Hyaluronic acid? Yes, please. Peptides? Into the basket. Snail m

My daughter and I took our much-anticipated trip to Lisbon in August. One of the places on our itinerary was Sintra, a popular tourist destination in Portugal, famous for its colourful palaces, historic estates and picturesque landscapes. Although, having visited, I am still wondering why Sintra enjoys quite so much popularity, especially for someone like me who has absolutely zero interest in hiking. The endless winding roads leading up to the palace made for a rather stress

Fashion loves to talk about diversity, individuality and breaking barriers. But behind the glamorous campaigns, exclusive invitations and carefully curated conversations about inclusion lies an uncomfortable truth: the industry remains deeply invested in class, status and social hierarchies.
