Catherine, Princess of Wales labelled a disappointment to fashion by former Vogue editor

OHMYGOSSIP — Catherine, Princess of Wales has been labelled a “disappointment” to jewellery by former Vogue editor.
Fashion critic Suzy Menkes, 79 – who was awarded an OBE in 2014 by the late Queen Elizabeth for her dedication to fashion journalism – isn’t a fan of the princess’ choices of accessories and wishes she shared Queen Camilla’s enthusiasm for dressing up in diamonds.
Suzy invited British Vogue’s jewellery editor Carol Woolton, onto the latest episode of her podcast ‘Creative Conversations’, to discuss Kate’s fashion.
She said: “The Princess of Wales is a bit of a disappointment about jewellery. She gives the impression that she only puts it on when she absolutely has to.
“I imagine her looking beautiful in one of those gowns behind the scenes and then pulling a face as if to say, ‘Do I have to wear this?’
“She doesn’t give any sense of adoring jewellery and being pleased to put it on.
“She doesn’t seem to have Camilla’s joy at wearing jewellery.”
Suzy slammed Catherine for her apparent indifference towards the vast offerings of jewellery that she’s privileged to choose from for public engagements, and doesn’t think her interest in the precious gems will change.
She added: “We now have a new Queen, so presumably she has a first opportunity to look at the jewels.
“We can imagine that the next in line to the throne’s wife would be something that was very special, so will we see Catherine wearing jewellery that is more dramatic, that is more personal to her?
“I don’t know. I can’t help feeling with things of beauty, you either love it or you don’t.”

Victoria’s Secret will debut adaptive collection at New York Fashion Week

OHMYGOSSIP — Victoria’s Secret will debut adaptive lingerie at New York Fashion Week.
The intimates retailer will be showcasing their collection for those with physical and sensory disabilities in September as part of the non-profit Runway of Dreams’ runway show, which helps give people with disabilities more visibility in fashion.
Mindy Scheier, who founded Runway of Dreams and helped Tommy Hilfiger work on their adaptive collection, connected with Victoria’s Secret by inviting its executives to a fashion show last year and spoke with them about how disabled women “care as much about feeling sexy as any typical woman”.
She added: “Not only did Victoria’s Secret need to understand the needs of this woman. They needed to understand this consumer at large.”
The company also teamed with the charity to develop the collection and cast the show.
Victoria’s Secret hailed the range as their “first pass” at a lucrative market.
Lydia Smith, Victoria’s Secret’s chief diversity officer said in a statement: “From a market perspective, there’s a lot of people (with disabilities) out there. That’s a lot of buying power.
“This will be our first pass at it. This is a small piece of our larger business.”
The new garments will cater to disabilities ranging from arthritis or cerebral palsy to autism and will form as part of the Victoria’s Secret and Pink collections.
And Lydia found it helpful to speak with Mindy and a focus group.
She said: “My big ‘aha’ moment was sitting on a call and in the focus group was a man who had cerebral palsy so he had dexterity issues.
“He talked about being able to take off his wife’s bra, which is something he hadn’t been able to do. That opened my mind that the couple was missing a certain level of intimacy.”

Cillian Murphy sends fedora sales soaring with iconic ‘Oppenheimer’ headgear look

OHMYGOSSIP — Cillian Murphy’s role in ‘Oppenheimer’ has sent fedora sales soaring.
The ‘Peaky Blinders’ actor, 47, sparked a rise in the popularity of flat caps when he played brutal gangster Thomas Selby in the BBC drama, and has now had the same effect on another style of headgear thanks to his portrayal of the father of the atomic bomb, J Robert Oppenheimer.
Retailers are reporting a huge spike in demand for fedoras – as worn by Cillian for almost the entirety of Christopher Nolan’s wartime epic.
John Lewis is selling 21 per cent more fedoras than flat caps, and specialist hat seller Herbert Johnson says it has seen younger customers now demanding fedoras.
‘Oppenheimer’ costume designer Ellen Mirojnick believes Oppenheimer may have sourced his iconic hat in New Mexico and she commissioned a hat maker to emulate it – thought the first three makers failed to produce what she wanted.
Ellen, 74, was unable to track down the original hat but was given several photographs of Oppenheimer wearing it at Princeton and during his time at Los Alamos laboratory where he developed the atomic bomb.
His featured a particularly wide brim, and Ellen has said the hat worn by Oppenheimer in reality was not technically a fedora as it had a flat rather than pinched crown.
She told The Guardian: “It’s commonly mistaken for a porkpie hat too. Instead it’s like a cross between the two.”
Cillian and filmmaker Christopher, 52, were involved in choosing the final version of the hat worn by the actor in his leading role.
Ellen added to The Guardian: “I think of Oppenheimer like a rock star. He was very particular about his look. It was memorable. He embodied the power of communication like no other.”
Christopher requested Ellen not dress any other characters in hats, even though the film spans many decades where they would have been the norm, so Cillian’s look stood out.
He told the LA Times Oppenheimer’s headwear was as recognisable as “Freddie Mercury’s teeth”, adding: “It’s like artfully dishevelled hair, it takes a lot of fussing, and I often fussed with the hat just before a take.”

Edward Sexton hailed as ‘visionary’ and ‘wizard with the scissors’ after his death age 80

OHMYGOSSIP — Edward Sexton is being hailed as a “visionary” and “the coolest guy in tailoring” after his death aged 80.
Also dubbed “The wizard with the scissors” by GQ, Edward dressed Mick Jagger and The Beatles, with his passing announced by his fashion house on Wednesday. (26.07.23)
A statement posted on the brand’s Instagram feed said: “The whole team here at Edward Sexton are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Edward, our founder.
“It is difficult to communicate just how much Edward meant to all of us. His pioneering spirit, impeccable style, charming character and complete attention to the craft of tailoring have made this house what it is today.
“As a team, we remain as dedicated as we ever have been to creating striking British tailoring that celebrates Edward’s history, achievements and his memory, and is true to his craft.
“To all our clients, friends and colleagues, thank you for your continued support and kindness at this time.
“With our warmest wishes to you all, the Edward Sexton team.”
With a career spanning seven decades, Edward was considered one of the most important designers of the past century.
Born into a working-class family in London he first made a name for himself in the design room in 1957 when he was still in his early teens.
He went on to make riding coats for designer Harry Hall by day and took tailoring classes at Barrett Street Technical College in the evenings.
Positions at Savile Row’s Kilgour, French and Stanbury and Welsh and Jefferies followed, before he grew tired of the formality of Savile Row tailoring and formed a friendship with Tommy Nutter, with whom he opened Nutters of Savile Row.
Throughout the late Sixties and early Seventies, Nutters became renowned as the most radical tailor in London by creating sharp silhouettes with their clothes.
Celebrities soon flocked to the store, with Paul McCartney and Cilla Black huge fans.
Edward then went it alone in 1975, launching his own namesake label in London’s Knightsbridge.
He put Mick Jagger in a bespoke clotted cream three-piece for his wedding to Bianca Jagger in 1971 and cut suits for Annie Lennox and David Gray.
Edward also dressed John Lennon in head-to-toe white for The Beatles’ Abbey Road cover in 1969.
Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Yasmin Le Bon and Eva Herzigova all wore his suits as they mimicked a rock band for Duran Duran’s ‘Girl Panic’ music video.

‘Barbiecore is surreal!’ Costume designer Jacqueline Durran stunned at ‘Barbie’ fashion movement

OHMYGOSSIP — The Oscar-winning costume designer for ‘Barbie’ says the ‘Barbiecore’ movement spawned by the blockbuster is “surreal”.
Jacqueline Durran says she loves how her styling for ‘Barbie’ stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in Greta Gerwig’s satirical movie on the Mattel dolls has sparked a global resurrection of soft feminine stylings in clothing shapes and colours – including a resurgence of summery pinks, pastels and whites.
She told InStyle: “It’s been surreal to see how popular the ‘Barbiecore’ trend has become.
“It’s been a while since ultra-feminine silhouette and colour palettes have been widely celebrated, so I think the Barbie aesthetic entered the zeitgeist at just the right time – when people were ready for something bright, light, nostalgic, and fun.”
Jacqueline, who won an Oscar for styling Greta’s 2019 ‘Little Women’ movie characters, added one of her favourite Barbie looks were the ones lifted from the 1960s, as well as the ‘Hot Skating Barbie’ look, which features Margot sporting a pair of highlighter-yellow roller skates.
She said: “It is such a great costume. We adapted it first for Barbie, then had to invent a version for Ken so that he would match.
“As it was one of the first costumes that was made public, I was thrilled to see how quickly (i.e., immediately!) the fans recognised it!”
It’s also been revealed Margot’s ‘Barbie’ red carpet looks are inspired by the doll’s most iconic looks from the last 64 years.
The actress, 33, who plays a live version of the Mattel toy in Greta’s new film alongside Ryan, 42, as Ken, has dressed for its premieres in outfits created for Barbie as far back as her creation in 1959.
Margot told People: “We’re finding Barbie references from decades past and just doing it really for the big Barbie fans out there, people who are actually collecting those Barbies.”
The LA premiere of the film saw Margot wear a custom Schiaparelli recreation of the black cocktail dress worn by the 1960 ‘Solo in the Spotlight’ Barbie.
She added: “We’re hoping to get (collectors and fans) excited…we’re pairing Barbie references with great designers.”
Barbie creator Ruth Handler always intended for fashion to be a major part of the doll’s appeal.
She became fed up with the lack of toy options for girls, who typically could choose between baby dolls or paper dolls to play with, and created one through which they could embody their future dreams in part by dressing her in different outfits.
Margot’s other red carpet looks have included a take of the ‘Pink and Fabulous Barbie’ from 2015.

Ahluwalia’s AW23 collection aims to improve lifecycle of garments with genius Digital ID tech

OHMYGOSSIP — Ahluwalia’s AW23 collection features Digital ID technology which allows customers to discover their items’ unique stories.
Thanks to EON’s Product Cloud Platform — a “software for creating, connecting, and capitalising” on Digital ID technology, powered by Microsoft’s cloud platform, Azure – the Symphony Unlocked line designed by the fashion pioneer gives customers the chance to learn more about the inspiration behind each garment and how it was made and how to care for the materials.
The startup’s tech was first debuted on the catwalk at London Fashion Week in February, and the pieces will be available to buy from Ahluwalia.World.
Designer and founder, Priya Ahluwalia, commented: “We want people to connect with the story of each item of clothing we create and become a part of its journey.
“We create clothes that are meant to be cherished and stand the test of time. Each piece tells a unique story that draws inspiration from the rich tapestry of art, literature, music, and culture. With the help of EON and Microsoft we’re now able to share that story with the world. Being environmentally and socially conscious is something that is very important to us, we want people to engage with the history of each garment, how it was made, where it has come from and, when they’re finished enjoying the piece, to be able to give it a new life.”
The Digital ID contains details on the garment’s “lifecycle from the fiber used to the design story”.
Simply scan the QR code printed on the care label to find out everything there is to know about the item.
Natasha Franck, Founder and CEO at EON, said: “With Digital ID technology, the story doesn’t end at checkout. Brands can forge deeper relationships with their customers and deliver greater transparency, service and customer value.
“Digital IDs give customers access to a world of rich information at their fingertips. You can trace where an item has been, how it was made, and find out how to give it a second or third life once you’re finished with it. This technology will be critical to unlock a truly circular economy.”
As well as wanting to inspire sustainable practices in fashion, Ahluwalia’s dual Nigerian-Indian heritage and her London roots were also a source of inspiration.
It’s not the first time the brand has worked with Microsoft, having teamed up on the award-winning Circulate Project in 2021.
They created an AI-powered digital platform offering customers the chance to send in their preloved garments to be recycled for new designs.
Maruschka Loubser, Director of Global Brand Marketing Partnerships at Microsoft, added: “Every garment in Ahluwalia’s new Symphony AW23 collection comes with digital identifiers made possible by Microsoft Azure technology.
“At Microsoft, we’ve always been committed to empowering people and organisations through our technology. Within fashion, we have a focus on using our technology to enable innovation, creativity, and sustainability, which is how our initial collaboration with Ahluwalia came about back in 2021 with the Circulate Project. This time, we’re excited to bring two amazing Microsoft partners together, in Ahluwalia and EON, as we explore new ways to inspire new digital transformation innovations in the fashion space.”

Geri Halliwell: ‘I have wrinkles but age is a gift!’

OHMYGOSSIP — Geri Halliwell thinks her wrinkles are a “trade-off” for wisdom.
The Spice Girls singer will turn 51 at the beginning of August and claimed that she is only getting “wiser” with the “gift” she calls age.
She told OK! Magazine: Age is a gift. I’ve got a few more wrinkles, but I’ve also got more discernment, more wisdom- it’s a trade-off.”
Reflecting on her days as part of the world’s best selling girl group alongside Mel B, Emma Bunton, Victoria Beckham and Melanie C, the ‘Mi Chico Latino’ hitmaker – who is now married toF1 Boss Christian Horner and has six-year-old son Monty with him but also has Bluebell Madonna, 17, with ex-partner Sasha Gervasi – Geri went on to admit that she used to “airbrush” herself for men but now insists on being “completely herself” to her husband.
She said: “With certain boyfriends I was breathing in, giving them a version of myself that I felt was airbrushed and acceptable, whereas with my husband I’m completely myself. My mother once told me to make sure I married someone who could take care of me, but marrying for love was the only route for me.”
Geri – who left the band in 1998 but initially reunited with them for a tour in 2007 before staging a one-off performance at the London Olympics in 2012 and last performed with the girls as part of a stadium tour with the exception of Victoria – has become known for wearing only white when out and about in public and explained that her reasoning behind her strict outfit choice is because the colour simply goes with everything.
She added: like the colour, and it’s like wearing a school uniform as an adult, It matches with everything and I don’t have to think in the mornings. It’s great for busy people – it looks like you’ve made an effort when you haven’t!”

Margot Robbie: The wigs made the Barbie movie!

OHMYGOSSIP — Margot Robbie thinks the wigs are what “made” the ‘Barbie’ movie.
The 33-year-old actress stars as the iconic Mattel doll in Greta Gerwig’s summer comedy and admitted she “cannot think” of any other film that utlisied fake hair pieces in the way this one does but admitted that the wigs all helped bring the toys to life in an unhuman way.
She told Teen Vogue: “I cannot think of a movie that had more hair than the ‘Barbie’ movie because everyone had wigs with ten times the amount of hair a wig would normally have in it. It was down to your waist every time and it was all so fun. But it was a lot of hair! The wigs kind of made it because it helped with that scale, the different proportions of Barbie gave you that fantasy feeling of like ‘Oh something’s not quite human here, it’s all impossible hair!'”
The ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ star went on to explain that in terms of the overall look for the film, Greta was inspired by movies of the Hollywood Golden Age and explained that it was the goal for all of her fellow cast members to feel “confident” in their costumes, many of which had been inspired by clothes worn by the doll herself over her 64-year history.
She added: “Greta really liked the looks in old techicolor movies where they had they this kind of creamy look to their makeuo. But what was most important with hair, makeup and costume, is that you bring this confidence with you when you’re feeling it and we wanted everyone to feel like that every day in Barbieland. All the outfits are not one-to-one replicas, some are inspired by real life Barbies that have existed in the past. There might have been a picture of Brigitte Bardot in the ’60s and that might have inspired an outfit.”

Maya Jama is the new face of Dolce and Gabbana

OHMYGOSSIP — Maya Jama is the new face of Dolce and Gabbana.
The ‘Love Island’ host has reportedly signed a lucrative deal to front an autumn/winter 2023 campaign for the Italian fashion house.
A source told MailOnline: “This is an amazing deal for Maya and it takes her career to the next level.
“It has been in the works for a while, and she is so happy that it is finally done, and she can tell people. It’s the start of something really big for her and Dolce and Gabbana.”
News of the deal comes after the 28-year-old beauty recently collaborated with make-up giant Rimmel and covered fashion bible Vogue.
She tearfully told the British magazine: “I was just pinching myself the whole time. I didn’t sleep.”
Maya recently admitted she and her stylist have been feeling “the pressure” about her wardrobe when fronting the latest season of ‘Love Island’.
She told MailOnline: “It feels so exciting, I was full of nerves for my first series because I was wondering what it would be like. Now, I know I feel really ready and excited, I just can’t wait to get started!
“Now there’s a bit more of an expectation, I just want to make sure that I live up to that expectation again…. The pressure is on for my stylist because the dresses did very well last series.”
Facialist Shane Cooper recently revealed Maya is a big fan of his Exclusive Face Treatment which exfoliates, tones and uses LED phototherapy to treat conditions such as sun damage, hyperpigmentation and breakouts.
She also uses his Aqua Tight facial peel to rid her complexion of impurities and undergoes microneedling which uses tiny needles to penetrate the skin and promote healing and collagen production.
He told British Vogue magazine: “She has my bespoke Exclusive Face Treatment and the Aqua Tight, which exfoliates, removes impurities and oxygenates, too. We use a lot of radiofrequency for collagen production, and when she has some time off, we often do microneedling.”

If I could churn back time! Cher launches ice cream band

OHMYGOSSIP — Cher is launching her own ice cream range.
The 77-year-old music icon is swapping the microphone for an ice cream scoop with her very own gelato brand ‘Cherlato’.
The ‘Believe’ hitmaker took to social media on Sunday (23.07.23) and shared a video of an ice cream truck with the word ‘Cherlato’ written across it alongside images of herself holding the cone with a scoop of the sweet treat.
The caption read: “Yep, this is real… I’m launching my gelato… Watch out LA! All started five years ago and now it’s finally HAPPENING. More to come…”
Fans couldn’t contain their excitement over the new venture in Los Angeles and flooded the comments section with name suggestions for ice cream flavours, many making puns relating to some of Cher’s greatest hits.
One user wrote: “If I Could Turn Back Lime vegan gelato a pun of ‘If I Could Turn Back Time’.
Another commented: “Do you believe in scoop after scoop?”
A third added: “Flavours had better be based on song titles! ‘I Got Ube Babe’, ‘Believe in Life After Rum’, ‘If I Could Turn Back Lime’, ‘The Scoop Scoop Song (It’s in His Hershey’s Kiss’)’. Best I could come up with at almost 2am.”
Cher had first teased the move in January as she tweeted that she was set to meet with a top ice cream maker.
After she was pictured tucking into a tub of the treat, the star explained: “Having a meeting about my ice cream. It’s a collab with the greatest ice cream magician in the world.”

Lindsay Lohan craved beetroot during her pregnancy

OHMYGOSSIP — Lindsay Lohan craved “strawberry pop tarts” and “beets” whilst she was pregnant.
The ‘Parent Trap’ star and her husband Bader Shammas welcomed son Luai into the world earlier this month and she explained her strange diet in the lead-up to the birth.
She told Vogue: “I never used to drink Gatorade, but being pregnant, I craved Gatorade. That’s been a weird craving. I’ve also craved different teas that I haven’t had forever, or a cup of cold milk randomly. I’m not a big junk food eater, but I would randomly get a craving for strawberry Pop-Tarts. And beets! I would crave beets all the time. I would have a lot of chicken and beets.”
Whilst Lindsay’s style didn’t change much during her pregnancy, the ‘Mean Girls’ actress couldn’t wait to bounce back into shape and wear skimpy outfits again.
She said: “For my maternity style, I’ve been wearing similar things – everything I would normally wear, I’ll just get the bigger sizes. I’ll get something from The Row, but I’ll get it oversized. Or a T-shirt from the Frankie Shop, but oversized. Because I still feel like me – just with a growing belly!”
Lindsay added: “I haven’t really worn anything short. Post-birth, maybe I’ll be able to wear some more fitted, structured pieces. That will be fun to get into again – to get back into the more fun fashion game. Some corseted pieces. I also haven’t been able to go to fashion week in a long time – Paris or Milan Fashion Week – so just to wear designer pieces again will be really exciting. I have not been able to wear my Alaïa dresses this summer, which I usually live in.”

Mia Khalifa’s jewellery label appeals to the devil inside

OHMYGOSSIP — Mia Khalifa’s new body jewellery collection is aimed at the devil inside
The former porn star recently launched her jewellery label Sheytan, which translates to ‘devil’ in Arabic, and has brushed aside the religious controversy surrounding the name of the brand.
Speaking to Hypebae, the Lebanese-American star said: “It comes from the phrase cheeky devil, or asking someone are you a devil? There’s very much that same sentiment in Arabic. The only people who feel weird about that name are people who are overly religious and want to lay claim to that name, when in reality, it’s simply just an Arabic word. And it’s a really cute one. We were going to be called Sheytans anyway for wearing gold chains and belly chains and showing our bodies so I thought it was the perfect name. I can’t imagine a body jewellery brand with Arabic roots being called anything but that.
“The brand is for the girl who wears lingerie just for her. It’s the girl who wears perfume, even when she’s home alone.
“It makes you feel sexy and makes you feel more powerful.”
The media personality sparked outrage after becoming a viral hit for her work in the adult entertainment industry and was labelled a disgrace to Lebanon, receiving multiple death threats.
But Mia insists that everything she does is part of the political fight to end the patriarchal system and oppression of women in the country, something that is reflected in her fashion choices.
She said: “I think I’m still trying to change opinions constantly. I don’t know if that will ever change because I see people who are in completely different positions but still have a lot more on their side and they still get held back and kind of put into boxes that they’ve clearly broken out of and shattered. So, it’s also like, that’s not really a goal of mine, to change everyone’s mind. Instead, it’s just to keep doing what I want to do. I don’t care about whose mind I’m changing as long as I can do what I love.”

‘I didn’t feel worthy!’ Cara Delevingne opens up about her imposter syndrome as she was shooting to fame

OHMYGOSSIP — Cara Delevingne never felt “worthy” enough to be a model.
The supermodel-turned-actress skyrocketed to fame in 2011 as the face of Burberry, but despite her success as a model, the 30-year-old admitted she never felt good enough and suffered with imposter syndrome.
In an interview with the new issue of Elle UK – for which Cara was photographed by Quentin Jones – she said: “It didn’t feel real. I didn’t feel like I deserved it.
“I didn’t feel worthy. I was still stuck in this mindset of not being good enough. I was doing the best I could, but I wasn’t really appreciating every moment. Inside, I felt very different to how I looked.”
The ‘Paper Towns’ star has been candid about her mental health struggles in the past, revealing she suffered with depression and anxiety during the heights of her career.
She added to Elle: “After vowing to be honest about things like depression and anxiety it felt like a weight being lifted. For a long time, I felt like I was hiding a lot from people who looked up to me. I finally feel as though I can be free and myself, fully.
“Before, I didn’t trust myself. I second-guessed myself constantly. There was a lot of anxiety involved. Now I just feel free of that.”
Cara has also been vocal about the drawbacks of modelling claiming the catwalk made her hate herself and her body.
But despite the pitfalls, Cara says she still keeps in contact with her fashion friends.
She said: “Me, Jourdan (Dunn) and Karlie (Kloss) were thick as thieves. (So many people) have been so much more than work friends, and have taught me a lot about living.”
The September issue of Elle UK is on sale from 27 July.

‘I’ve got global change makers on my mind!’ Edward Enninful announces March 2024 will be his last issue of British Vogue as editor-in-chief

OHMYGOSSIP — Edward Enninful has announced March 2024 will mark his last issue of British Vogue as the title’s editor-in-chief.
The 51-year-old made the declaration almost two months after saying he would be quitting the role sometime next year, and hinted his farewell edition – which is out next February – will feature “global change makers”.
He said on Instagram: “With just seven issues left at @BritishVogue, I would love to know which issue was your favourite. March 2024 is my last @BritishVogue as EIC so set your clocks.
“With my final issues I’m in planning mode for sure with lots on my mind. The power of brilliant global change makers!
“The unbeatable creativity of the UK! And above all FASHION! More than anything, I am just so excited for what is still to come in the next seven months.”
Despite leaving his British Vogue role, Edward will stay on at its publishing house Condé Nast where he has worked for 25 years, and become Vogue’s global creative and cultural adviser and editorial adviser at British Vogue.
He reportedly told staff when he announced he was leaving his editor-in-chief role his new position meant he would be able to “continue to contribute to the creative and cultural success of the Vogue brand globally while having the freedom to take on broader creative projects”.
Edward has been at the helm of British Vogue since 2017, when he took over from Alexandra Shulman.
One of his first big moves was to bring in supermodels Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell and the film director Sir Steve McQueen as contributing editors.
His appointment made him the first man – and first black editor – in the job, and in December 2020 he was promoted to European editorial director of Vogue.
Other highlights of his tenure have included working with the Duchess of Sussex on a guest-edited issue of the magazine, as well as securing an interview with Beyoncé and featuring Rihanna, A$AP Rocky and their baby son on the cover, in what is thought to be the first time a nappy has ever had such a prime spot in the magazine.
His other cover stars have included Zendaya, Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift.

‘It burns!’ Chloe Cherry uses CAYENNE PEPPER to plump her lips!

OHMYGOSSIP — Chloe Cherry plumps her lips up with cayenne pepper.
The 25-year-old actress revealed that even though it “really burns”, she achieves a fuller lip look by mixing Capsicum powder – which is most commonly used to spice up dishes like chilli con carne – with Vaseline before wiping it off.
She told Popsugar: “I use Vaseline with cayenne pepper, and it works really well. Get a little cup and put some Vaseline in it, mix it with cayenne pepper, and put it on your lips. It really burns and plumps them up, but you have to wipe it off.”
Meanwhile, Chloe – who has appeared in more than 200 pornographic films but made her TV acting debut in the role of Faye on hit HBO drama series ‘Euphoria’ – went on to add that “shaking” her kips for a matter of seconds leaves her able to enjoy a kiss and revealed that since making launching her career as a drama actress, she has learned from the on-set makeup artist to tone things done when it comes to her make up and has a new “routine” after seeing herself on the show.
She added: “If you just shake it for eight seconds and then let it dry on your lips for a couple of minutes, it’s totally kiss-proof. It will even stay shiny. I used to like orangey reddish glittery eyeshadow, a ton of highlighter, foundation, and [I would] fill in my eyebrows a lot bigger. I used to do a lot more. Makeup artist Alex French taught me how to do really good no-makeup makeup. “It’s basically become my routine because after seeing myself on the show, I was like, ‘Oh, that actually looks really good.”

Claire Richards: I was anorexic in Steps!

OHMYGOSSIP — Claire Richards was “probably anorexic” during her heyday with Steps.
The 45-year-old singer first found fame in 1997 as part of pop group alongside Faye Tozer, Lee Latchford-Evans, Lisa Scott-Lee, and Ian ‘H’ Watkins and explained that she was asked to lose weight in order to win her place in the band as she claimed that they were put on a diet of less than 1000 calories a day in order to fit in with the “heroin chic” style of the day but ended up “overeating” when Steps split in December 2001.
Speaking on ‘The Secret To…’ podcast, she told host Vicky Pattison: “That whole Kate Moss, heroin-chic, was a thing and they wanted everyone to be really, really skinny… So, we were all put on a diet. That diet was interesting because we were encouraged to eat fish fingers, peas and baked beans and have like a 900-calorie diet.
“They sat me down, did my audition and they said ‘Oh, we really like you. We want you to be in the band, but you’re going to have to lose weight’…it set me on a pathway of not really eating for four-and-a-half years. I think I probably was anorexic. You know, I managed to kind of stop what I was doing to myself but that went from not eating at all, to overeating.”
‘The ‘I Surrender’ hitmaker – who quit Steps in 2001 but reunited with them briefly in 2011 and has released four hit albums with them since they got back together permanently in 2017 – recently admitted that having endured being “dangerous” weight herself at either end of the scale, there is a “lack of understanding” for those who struggle with their diet.
Speaking on the ‘Spinning Plates’ podcast, she said: “I’ve gone from being dangerously thin to obese and I honestly do believe it’s all part of the same… if it’s an eating disorder, it’s one extreme to the other. There is a massive lack of understanding, generally, and I think especially on the overweight side of it. I think people just look at anybody who’s overweight [and think] that they’re lazy and have got no discipline.”
