OHMYGOSSIP — Carolyn Murphy says her her grandmother helped shape her taste “in design and interiors”.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover star also attributed becoming well-travelled has “helped influence and develop” her creativity as she debuted her second ‘Mother’ piece collection, a 12-piece titled ‘Surfs Up’, celebrating sustainability and surfing in Hawaii.
The 47-year-old fashionista told Elle: “I’m going to credit my nana for my eye in design and interiors—she was very chic and an artist. I was also traveling abroad from a young age, and in my career, was exposed to different people, cultures, and destinations, which helped influence and develop my personal style. It all comes down to the fact that I thrive on inspiration and creativity.”
Carolyn admits the adding eco-credentials to your wares is “intimidating” but thinks that making “simple lifestyle choices” is a great route into being more conscious about your impact on the world around you.
She said: “I find that being labelled by or claiming anything around sustainability is intimidating. We live in a world where walking the talk entirely is unrealistic for most, but adapting simple lifestyle choices is a way to start. Buying used—whether it’s cars, clothes, or furniture—is a great starting point of recycling. Reusing items like bags and glass jars. Reducing waste by shopping at farmers markets, composting kitchen scraps, and skipping single-use plastic items.”
The former Calvin Klein model finds vintage clothing “appealing” because of the satisfaction of the hunt for hidden gems.
Carolyn said: “Vintage is appealing because the hunt for pieces can be surprising; there is history around most of the garments, and the challenge in reworking them is so much fun.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Bella Hadid wants to become a “vessel for communication and respect”.
The 25-year-old model has launched her own NFT platform, called CY-B3LLA, and Bella admits that the venture has become a “real passion” for her over recent months.
Speaking about NFTs, Bella shared: “Where that scepticism comes from is the people who just want to have a money grab. To me, it’s so much bigger than that. I want it to be a collective.
“It’s not a one-stop shop – this is a real passion. I want to be used as a vessel for communication and respect and love.”
Bella hopes her NFT collection will connect her with fans.
The catwalk star told Vogue: “It’s just a beautiful way that we can have a community. I don’t know if I feel like a community leader – it’s not just about connecting me to people, but about connecting people to other people.
“I just want to be an instrument.”
Earlier this year, Bella described NFTs as “invitations to a new global nation”.
The model explained that the venture will “encourage travel, community, growth, fantasy and human interactions”.
She said: “I’ve co-founded this collection because they aren’t just NFTs – they’re invitations to a new global nation. Each NFT features different and unique 3-D scans of me, though up with you in mind, that will be utilised around the world; designed to encourage travel, community, growth, fantasy and human interactions.
“That’s just the beginning. In the coming months, we’ll grow this new meta nation with real locations and events all around the world, where I can meet each and every one of you.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ashley Graham has suffered “mom guilt” since returning to work.
The 34-year-old model – who has Isaac, two, and five-month-old twins Malachi and Roman with husband Justin Ervin – admits that her return to work hasn’t been an easy experience, as she now needs to constantly manage her time.
Ashley shared: “How I navigated my return to work after the twins is hard to say, because I didn’t jump back into a nine-to-five.
“After three months, I started travelling and leaving them for overnights. I definitely had a little mom guilt, but I’ve been pumping a lot more and having to navigate schedules a lot more.”
Despite this, Ashley likened her time at work to being on “vacation”.
The brunette beauty told The Cut: “I’m jumping back into work faster than when I did with my firstborn, and I think it’s normal. I’m actually so happy when I go to work. It feels like a vacation.”
Last month, meanwhile, Ashley admitted she’s “still not entirely comfortable in [her] body”.
The curvaceous star revealed she’s still struggling to come to terms with her post-pregnancy figure.
Ashley said: “Even now, if I’m completely honest, I go in waves. I am still not entirely comfortable in my body, no matter my own body positivity advocacy.
“There are days where I look at myself and I say, ‘There’s nothing you can’t handle. There’s nothing you can’t do.’ Then I look at the stretch marks that still exist and will forever exist on my stomach, and I think, God, why did you have to go up above my belly button? I’m a lingerie model, for God’s sake. This is not what lingerie models look like.
“But then I remind myself, ‘Well, I’ve never been the norm of what a typical lingerie model looks like.'”

Teyana – whose new line matches adult and children’s activewear styles for parents to match with their kids – said: “I’ve always wanted to create a world for Junie that shows there are no limits, fear isn’t real and you can do whatever you dream to do.
“This is one of many steps in an effort to change the narrative that is placed on women while growing up and being told what they can and cannot do. I want to change that narrative and I will – anything is possible.”
Teyana describes her new line – which features hoodies, jackets, leggings, shorts and bucket hats – as a “mama-and-mini collection”.
She told WWD: “I love the collision of masculine and feminine styles within my own wardrobe and wanted to represent that within this mama-and-mini collection.
“For Junie and I, it was all about effortless style – easy pieces that we could incorporate within our day-to-day. We play with a lot of neutrals that very much fit into my aesthetic, alongside bold graphic prints. Our first collection features active and loungewear styles that will have you acing the drop-off outfit of the day and your mini setting the hallway trends.”
Teyana previously collaborated with the sportswear giant Reebok, and at the time, she was hailed by Todd Krinsky, the global vice president of Reebok Classic and Entertainment.
He said: “[Taylor] is a risk-taker who brings her own perspective to every project and she stands uniquely at the intersection of fashion, music and fitness.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Cravity would like to emulate the style of PSY.

He said: “I think beauty in general — doing our hair and makeup, or just wearing clothes that makes us feel comfortable in our bodies — can make a person [feel] so much more confident, and that confidence goes a long way. Beauty really helps us in that way because we’re always in front of cameras and there are always going to be people looking out for us. That’s why it’s really important for us to really take good care of ourselves, whether that be through skin care or diet, or working out. Our members are doing a fairly good job, in that respect.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dame Emma Thompson sees it as a “badge of honour” that she isn’t seen as a fashion icon.
The 63-year-old actress has reflected on the reaction she received when she first attended the Academy Award earlier in her career and overheard someone describing her outfit as “dowdy”.
Speaking to the Daily Mail newspaper’s Richard Eden column, she said: “At my first Oscars, a fashion reporter said, as I passed along the red carpet: ‘God love her, she always looks so dowdy in anything.’
“And I’d made an effort! I wore that as a badge of honour.”

Back in January, she said: “[Director Sophie Hyde], Daryl, and I rehearsed entirely nude and talked about our bodies, talked about our relationship with our bodies, drew them, discussed the things that we find difficult about, things we like about them, described one another’s bodies.
“It’s very challenging to be nude at 62. She stands in front of a mirror alone and she drops her robe.”
The actress noted she wouldn’t have been able to do a nude scene earlier in here career.
She explained: “I don’t think I could’ve done it before the age that I am. And yet, of course, the age that I am makes it extremely challenging because we aren’t used to seeing untreated bodies on the screen.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Tracee Ellis Ross says her hair is “a really good extension” of her creativity.
The ‘Black-ish’ actress and Pattern Beauty boss – who launched her curl-friendly haircare line of shampoos, conditioners, gels and other products in 2019 – admitted she has found confidence through her own ranges.
She told PEOPLE magazine: “I didn’t always have this kind of confidence or relationship with my hair. The truth is, the majority of my hair confidence has come with my products.
“I have a lot of pride in my hair. I enjoy my hair, I am tickled by my hair.
“I used to say I worked for my hair, but now I think my hair is just a really good extension of who I am and my creativity and it can do anything.”
The 49-year-old star explained that she never used to have any “opinions of thoughts” about her own hair, but that changed when she became a teenager.
She added: “As a child, I had no opinions or thoughts about my hair. I didn’t even know it was a thing that I should have opinions or thoughts about.
“But then you hit teenage life and you’re comparing yourself to everyone else, and what everyone is telling you makes you desirable or not.”
Ross has teamed up with H and M and Nikki Porcher – the founder of the nonprofit Buy From A Black Woman – to boost Black women business owners through investment.
She said: “The world continues to underestimate Black women — our creativity, our ability, our drive, our importance. We are often utilised, but not centered.
“I think that’s one of my favourite parts about having a platform and having a voice out in the world is being able to use it to uplift and, you know, share the attention… that’s part of why this partnership is so beautiful.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Hailey Bieber thinks that good skincare is the “base of everything” when it comes to beauty.
The 25-year-old model – who has been married to pop star Justin Bieber, 28, since 2018 – is the Creative Director of beauty company Rhode and explained that she has taken care of her skin since she was a teenager.
She said: “Since I was a teenager, I’ve always been very routine and regimented with my skincare. I love the beauty space in general—hair care, body care, makeup—but I’ve always been drawn toward skincare because the base of everything, the base of great makeup, starts with glowing from the inside out and absolutely healthy skin!”
The former ‘Drop tthe Mic’ host – who is the daughter of Hollywood star Stephen Baldwin and the niece of his brother Alec – went on to explain that her skincare brand came about when wanted to “dive deeper” into the creation of skincare products and concluded that te most expensive products are not always the most effective.
She told Forbes: “I always wanted to start my own brand in general; I chose to go with skincare first because I reached a point where I had been modelling for a long time. I had already known what I liked in skincare and what worked for me. But I wanted to dive deeper into the structure of everything. The conclusion I came to was the expensive stuff doesn’t necessarily mean it works better than tried and true, solid, affordable stuff. I came to this idea of making very luxurious products and solid formulas that you could get for an affordable price, and also that was aesthetically pleasing and fun!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Funmi Monet only started sharing her beauty tips as a result of therapy.
The 31-year-old TikTok star has amassed more than 150,000 followers on the video-sharing app by sharing her fragrance and beauty tips and admitted that it became a “meaningful” part of her recovery from depression.
She said: “I was seeing a therapist at the time after going through a few months of horrible depression and anxiety. My therapist urged me to find an outlet to share things that spark joy and create community. Pivoting my content towards fragrance was something that occurred naturally over the course of my social media journey. Sharing my daily skin-care and beauty routine was something that became meaningful for me while I was in therapy. ”
The social media influencer – who has since become known as TikTok’s “favourite fragrance auntie” and launched the Exalté Eau de Parfum earlier this year – added that she “didn’t realise” there was an audience for fragrance-themed content until she started to share her collection on Instagram and created her perfume with a “large spectrum” of people in mind.
She told Allure: “I didn’t realise there was an audience for fragrance content as well until I began sharing snippets of my collection through my Instagram Stories. People respond enthusiastically to perfume because it doesn’t necessarily require a certain level of expertise to pick up a bottle and enjoy how you interact with the scent.
“I created Exalté thinking about the woman looking for a signature scent. For people who don’t necessarily have a vast perfume collection, your signature scent is the fragrance people associate with you and can often identify you before even seeing you. I wanted to create a classic fragrance that could be enjoyed by a wide spectrum of ages and lifestyles that also invites intimacy. ”
During the launch of the perfume back in February, she wrote on Instagram: “From fragrance auntie to fragrance boss. Just your friendly neighborhood perfume pushaaaaaa!”(sic)

OHMYGOSSIP — Michelle Visage has teamed up with ASICS to launch the 15:09 Uplift Challenge.
The ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ star wants to urge people to get moving this month to raise funds for mental health charity Mind after research from the sports apparel brand found just 15 minutes and nine seconds of exercise can be all it takes to get a mental uplift.
She said: “Listen, we know we’re all busier than ever right now, but health is still important. The facts are clear, you only need 15 minutes and 9 seconds of movement to improve your mental health.
“So, the next time you find yourself worrying over what emoji to use or offering advice to someone who you know won’t listen – stop and think about yourself, put that phone down, get your kit on my loves, and move for your mind.”
To take part in the challenge, people need to move for at least 15:09 minutes to help uplift their mind and capture their activity in a video or photo. Every image or clip posted to Twitter, Facebook, TikTok or Instagram tagged with #ASICS1509 during June will raise money for Mind.
ASICS research also found that 18-24 year olds in the UK – Gen Z – are the age most in need of a mind uplift after they scored lowest in mental wellbeing and exercising the least, with the main barrier to the latter being a lack of time.
But the surveyed members of Gen Z admitted they spend up to 102 minutes a day on needless tasks and procrastination, which is why they are being challenged to find just 15:09 minutes to prioritise exercise and benefit their mental wellbeing.
Gary Raucher, Executive Vice President, ASICS EMEA said: “At ASICS, we’ve always believed in the power of exercise to uplift the mind. Our latest research shows that even small amounts of exercise can have a big impact on how we feel. So, this June, we’re calling on everyone to move and to help lift spirits and raise valuable funds for mental health charity Mind.”
Hayley Jarvis, Head of Physical Activity at Mind added: “At Mind, we believe physical activity has an important role in supporting people to stay and live well. It’s fantastic to see ASICS’ recent research that shows it may only take 15 minutes to boost your mood. Knowing that a short walk at lunchtime can help uplift the mind, or counter the stresses from work and daily life, is a game-changer.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Miranda Kerr is “obsessed” with buying clothes from Amazon.
The former Victoria’s Secret Angel – who has Flynn, 11, with ex-husband Orlando Bloom and Hart, four, and two-year-old Myles with spouse Evan Spiegel – loves shopping online because it is “so convenient”, and she’s a particular fan of the retail giant when it comes to picking up everyday outfits and other basics.
She told People magazine: “Amazon has everything you need — I’m obsessed. I buy everything on Amazon, it’s so convenient as a busy mother,” she shares. “I browse The Luxury Stores, The Drop, and so on. I buy it all.
“I can find everything from diapers for my son to sexy underwear from La Perla for me to an Oscar de la Renta Dress or hand sanitizer for the whole family.
“I’ll probably be buying even more clothing on Amazon Prime Day!”
The Australian beauty travels light when she goes on holiday with her family and has learned to mix and match a limited number of pieces to create “endless” outfits.
She said: “Start with easy crochet cover-ups in black or white. They’re so easy to pack and never wrinkle. Then throw in denim shorts and mix and match any of your swimsuits to create endless outfits. Bring a simple white cotton shirt and a great pair of flats, and you’re set.”
When it comes to shoes, Miranda opts to pack comfy Nike sneakers and neutral sandals and heels.
She added: “I like to mix high and low..”
Meanwhile, the Kora Organics founder urged people to slow down and cherish their vacation time for the sake of their mental health.
She said: “As a mother of three boys, life goes by so quickly. Embrace your time together while you can because life gets busy. I think it’s important for our children to see how important work ethic is — but it’s equally important for them to see how much we value quality time as a family.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Hailey Bieber enlisted the services of a “skin care advisory board” for her brand Rhode.
The 25-year-old beauty spent two years working on her first three products, Peptide Glazing Fluid – a hydrating serum-gel – Barrier Restore Cream and Peptide Lip Treatment, and though she wanted to keep things simple with an uncomplicated ingredients list, she brought in scientific experts to help create the perfect formulas.
She told Allure: “Obviously, I can totally admit that I don’t know what I don’t know — so I had the idea to bring in a skin care advisory board.
“We brought in a dermatologist, we consulted with a cosmetic chemist… I had conversations with a lot of people that are very influential and knowledgeable in the skin-care space. And that was really how we brought these formulas to life in the labs.”
But Hailey was quick to stress she was still heavily involved.
She said: “No decision has been made without me. I was the one who was going to the labs and explaining how I wanted it to feel and the results I wanted it to deliver.”
And the model believes being “extremely picky” has paid off and she’s confident about the collection.
She said: “If there was something that was even the teeniest bit off, I wasn’t going to approve it because I don’t want to bulls*** with this brand.
“I don’t want to cut corners. I want amazing formulas. I want to give people amazing products.”
At the top of Hailey’s ingredient list was niacinamine, a form of Vitamin B which helps prevent inflamation and UV damage, minimise the appearance of pores and strengthen the skin’s barrier.
She said: “One of my favorite skin-care ingredients of all time is niacinamide.
“I saw such a big difference in my skin with niacinamide, and I have very sensitive skin.”
Peptides – strings of amino acids which help boost collagen production – also feature in all three products, as do squalane, glycerin and hyaluronic acid.

OHMYGOSSIP — Rina Sawayama “loves being a chameleon in clothes”.
The ‘This Hell’ hitmaker was so excited to try on loads of outfits for her Elle shoot.
The 31-year-old pop star told the fashion bible how much she “loves being a chameleon in clothes” and outlined her belief that haute couture – by houses such as Schiaparelli and Chanel – is “obviously is the pinnacle of fashion and artistry and tailoring and creativity. I was so, so excited.”
Rina also gushed about her love of South Korean designer Miss Sohee as she “kept touching the clothes because they were so well-constructed.
The ‘XS’ hitmaker touched upon her former career as a professional clothes horse, which gave her a “big appreciation” for the work that goes into bringing a fashion shoot to life.
She said: “I actually started off as a model, so I have a big appreciation for everyone on set, and I’m quite used to being a canvas.”
Rina – who now regularly collaborates with stylist Jordan Kelsey – gave insight into how she had to “work” to get to work with big designers in her career.
At the start of her foray into music, she said: “It was more ad hoc, there wasn’t really a plan…. Obviously, when you enter this industry, it’s hard to pull looks. You’ve got to work your way up there to be trusted by PRs and fashion houses to wear these pieces. I feel so lucky that I’ve slowly built my relationships with designers in a way that they’ll loan me these incredible pieces.”
Of Jordan, Rina said: “She’s so intelligent, and she really thinks ahead about what a certain brand is going to add to my project or how people perceive what I’m doing. It’s just so fun to talk with someone who speaks my language in that sense. And so, for this upcoming record, it’s been a way more consistent vision.”
The ‘John Wick: Chapter 4’ star gushed how “crazy it was to be in the front row” at New York Fashion Week with stars such as Angus Cloud, Megan Thee Stallion and Tommy Dorfman.
“I mean, I spent the longest time trying to get into shows at London Fashion Week, and it’s just so crazy to be in the front row. It’s such an honour to be able to see these clothes and have the pure, direct expression of what the designer or creative director is thinking for that collection, and it’s fed to your eyeballs straight away.”
