Photo Credit: Tems/Instagram Tems just picked up a major award and looked incredible doing it. The Billboard Global Power Players event landed in London for the first time, bringing together big names across the music industry, and our girl Tems was honoured with the Diamond Award. She stepped up to receive the award in a mini dress that deserves its own moment. We’re talking bold blue, off-the-shoulder, ruched in all the right places, with a cool braided detail running straight down the front. It was giving: confident, stylish, not-trying-too-hard. Her wavy hair, soft glam makeup, and minimal gold accessories kept…

The Emmy-winning actor, writer and all-around genius showed up in a lineup of designer looks that feel equal parts editorial and entirely Ayo. Between the designer fits and the total joy on her face, this is Ayo’s fashion moment. Styled in looks from Bottega Veneta’s Spring 2025 collection, Balmain and Stella McCartney’s Pre-Fall lines, and the sculptural classics of Balenciaga, Edebiri moves between moods: poised, contemplative, playful. In one image, she’s dressed in all black—a Balenciaga…
Thursday saw a BIG win for runners – and an even bigger smackdown for negligence, incompetence and fragile egos. In the Gauteng High Court case between Two Oceans chairperson Toni Cavanagh (first applicant) and the Two Oceans Marathon NPC (second applicant) and Stuart Mann (respondent), the Honourable Judge Yacoob ruled emphatically against Cavanagh and the TOM NPC granting a costs order on scale C (the most severe possible outcome). This will reportedly cost Cavanagh and the TOM NPC around R400 000. Whether Cavanagh will cough up the cash herself or turn to the NPC for help remains to be seen.…
Would you ever consider swapping beans for lentils when making akara? Akara is one of Nigeria’s most beloved street foods. A Saturday breakfast staple in many homes, typically served with a steaming bowl of pap or tucked into soft bread for dinner. But what if you could make it using lentils instead of the traditional beans? Would it still taste the same? Well, wonder no more.

Kgothatso Montjane got her 2025 French Open campaign off to a winning start, securing a doubles victory at Roland Garros in France on Wednesday, 5 June 2025, following on the SA number 1’s singles victory a day earlier.

Skipper Ruan Nortje says the Vodacom Bulls must be “switched on from minute one” to beat a Bok-powered Sharks outfit for a place in the URC final, reports DEVIN HERMANUS. The Bulls and Sharks clash in an all-South African semi-final at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday. Jake White’s charges dispatched Edinburgh in Pretoria last week to secure a last-four playoff berth, while the men from Durban won a thrilling penalty shootout over Munster at Kings Park to advance to their first URC semi. Saturday’s winner on the Highveld will contest the decider next week, potentially in the Republic if defending champions…
Have you ever spent weeks crafting a strategy, only to watch someone go viral, with zero plan and make more impact in 48 hours than you did in a quarter? I have. Twice. The first was when I wrote a multi-channel go-to-market strategy and a brand identity document that took three weeks. That same weekend, Mercy Eke, a BBNaija housemate, casually said, “I just want to relass and be taken kairof.” Within hours, she sold out a t-shirt line. No strategy, no tagline, no content calendar. Just vibes and cultural timing. Then there’s Burna Boy. He says what he wants.…
