The former Lip Sync Battle judge hopped onto her social media page, which she has kept a heavy presence on while juggling her career and three kids, and the star let fans in on her secrets to staying looking so youthful.
Sharing a lengthy video online, Chrissy started off looking fresh from a shower as she dried her face while wrapped in a plush white towel.
Next, the clip cut to show Chrissy dressed in a flowy robe, her wet locks up in a pink towel to keep strands from getting in her way during her skincare demonstration.
“Everyone* has been asking me about my skincare routine post baby! my skin is still finding its way so I keep it easy peasy with a few of my favorites that I use every single morning,” she captioned the post while adding an extra star at the end to follow up her “everyone” comment with, “no one at all.”
She then got her ritual started by holding up a bottle of iS Clinical serum, the brand made obvious by its distinctive swirling logo.
Chrissy did not specify which of the company’s serums she was using. She quickly held up the amber bottle and used the dropper to put the liquid into the palm of her hand before gently patting it
Increases in the cost of living might not be clutching the clutches of Catherine, Princess of Wales and Australian actor Cate Blanchett, but could be seen in their strangely familiar selections for the red carpet at the 2023 British Academy Film Awards.
Apart from a flounce at the shoulder, Catherine’s white Alexander McQueen gown, updated with black velvet opera gloves, appeared to be the same dress worn by the princess to the 2019 BAFTAs. In a nod to getting more flash for far less cash, diamonds were ditched in favour of a pair of £18 ($31.50) earrings from Zara.

It’s the latest example of recession-signalling, the fashion equivalent of virtue signalling, where stars show that they’re aware of global issues without sacrificing a custom fit.
Rather than sending out stylist Elizabeth Stewart with a credit card, Blanchett also raided the archives, wearing an austere black haute couture gown by John Galliano for Maison Margiela that made its first appearance at the Oscars in 2015. Zara was a step too far for the Tár actor who chose jewellery from Louis Vuitton, a wise financial decision considering her role as an ambassador for the French luxury house.
Catherine’s clothing choice carried extra meaning, offering support for British fashion on a night when most stars paid tribute to Italian and French design. Alexander McQueen is owned by French luxury conglomerate Kering, but Catherine celebrated the work of the brand’s English creative director Sarah Burton in the timeless gown. Burton also designed Catherine’s dress for her 2010 wedding to Prince William, president of BAFTA.
It’s officially a year since the South African entertainment industry lost one of its most talented – and fashionable stars; Riky Rick.
Despite being 34 years young when he passed, the Stay Shining hitmaker accumulated a wealth of fashion knowledge and was years ahead of his time.

Face mask on fleek
Before Covid-19 existed or Kanye West and co. started wearing bizarre face coverings, Riky Rick rocked up on the 2018 SAMA red carpet wearing an orange mesh face mask.
The look stole the spotlight and kickstarted the viral #RikyRick challenge.
Everybody gets sneakers!
From petrol attendants to avid fans to Pearl Thusi’s daughter Thandolwethu, Riky was Santa Claus when it game to gifting away free designer sneakers.
Men wear pink – and sandals – too!
Riky Rick was comfortable with his masculinity and was able to pull off feminine fashion looks with ease and style.

Before Andile Mpisane flaunted his wealth though his fashion looks, Riky Ricky was the ultimate label lover.

The ring sat next to a disgusting banana peel for two days.
Columbia Metropolitan Police Department
One South Carolina bride-to-be received an early wedding gift from a police officer.
Master Officer Ashley Maddox went above and beyond the call of duty when she dropped down into a sewer drain to retrieve the woman’s lost engagement ring.
The ring was lost when the woman took it off in her car and set it in her lap so she could apply lotion to her hands, according to Jennifer Timmons, Public Information Officer for the Columbia Metropolitan Police Department.
She forgot it was in her lap until she got out of the car and it fell into the drain.
For two days the ring was in the drainage area while the woman and her fiancé struggled wondering “what are we supposed to do,” to solve this problem, Timmons said.
The couple finally called the police who were more than willing to help them.
Officer Maddox and two fellow officers responded to the call. Maddox’s petite frame meant she was the best fit to get into the drain.
I think they all looked at each other and then at Maddox and said, “You’re the smallest, you’ve got to do it,’” Timmons said.
Maddox got into the drain and found the ring next to a “disgusting old banana peel,” Timmons said.
The officer was praised for her heroics on Facebook and Twitter, “Show some love… Maddox took one for the team.”
The ring has returned to the bride’s finger, and she and her fiancé are planning a September wedding.
Three cheers for Officer Maddox!

Chrissy Teigen is one to keep in real. From revealing her natural hair length (sans-extensions) to leaky nipple pics, there’s not much the mum-of-three won’t share with her fans… Because apparently, nothing says postpartum authenticity like milk stains! I mean, I wouldn’t know but going by this information, I dread to find out.
Alas, I digress, for today, Chrissy has kept said leaky nipple at bay with instead, a video walking us through her post-baby skincare routine. As she put it in the caption of her Instagram post: “Everyone has been asking me about my skincare routine post baby! my skin is still finding its way so I keep it easy peasy with a few of my favourites that I use every single morning,” she writes.
Keeping it au naturale, in the vid the actor is, of course, makeup-free and wears her post-shower hair in a towel turban. #Relatable, much?
But let’s delve into what you’re all here for, shall we? Aka, the products used on her – what I must say is – glowing skin. To kick off, Chrissy goes in with iS Clinical Pro-Heal Serum Advance+, £90 and taps gently into the skin. Now, this is certainly a Cosmo-approved technique.
Next up comes the retinol (cheers with pride), and Chrissy has chosen to use the Shani Darden Skin Care Retinol Reform, £80. Yes, it’s pricey but a good’un created by Hollywood’s favourite expert aesthetician. This is then followed by the iS Clinical Reparative Moisture Emulsion, £100.
After moisturising, Chrissy opts to spritz her face with a toner and it’s by the brand Loved01, created by her husband, John Legend. Unfortunately, this is yet to be made available in the UK, however, here’s holding out hope for a launch later this year.

Morocco’s fashion week is set to be hosted from March 8 to 11 in the famous red city of Marrakech, this edition marks the third time the fashion runway has hit Marrakech’s M Avenue, one of the city’s must-see attractions developed by Nabil Slitine.
This year, the event will be hosted with Riad la Brillante, a hotel nestled in the heart of the medina where traditional craftsmanship and modernity meet harmony and elegance. The 2023 edition ties in with the worldwide celebration of women, including international women’s day on March 8.
The occasion is organized and supported by the Oriental Fashion Show and is chaired by Hind Joudar in partnership with M Avenue. This partnership between the two personalities is dedicated to building a lasting anchorage within the kingdom.
The fashion shows are scheduled for March 10 with special exhibitions on Morocco’s iconic caftan to pay tribute to the craftswomen on the occasion of World Women’s Rights Day.
Morocco’s fashion week aims to promote young and upcoming designers with a prize allowing winners to travel to a parade in Paris. The competition is organized with the styling and modeling schools Casa Moda, Lasalle College, and Escom in a joint partnership.
Special guests include Saher Okal, the founder of the Academia Moda school in Nazareth who will be a member of the judging panel. Also on the judging panel will be Morocco’s Said Mahrouf and Zineb Joundy as well as Egyptian dressmaker Hany El Behairy.
Other works of art will be shown throughout the day from March 9 – 11 in collaboration with the association “Dam Lmaalma.”
On the final day, a gala dinner will be held within the mythical Royal Mansour palace and will be preceded by a parade featuring the creations of
“It has been a lot of hard work,” she says. “Ironically, I think it only gets harder as you go along. Because I feel like now we are in an awkward adolescent stage. We are not the new kid on the block, the shiny and bright thing. We are at a bit of a reckoning point where we are figuring out what the brand is in this phase. It’s a crossroads – we have the capacity to grow, but how much do we want to do that?”
I am constantly asking myself, what is the value proposition for the customer? Why would they buy it?
— Anna Hoang
Currently stocked by the likes of Net-A-Porter, Harvey Nichols, Lane Crawford and David Jones, retail seems to be the next logical step. But Hoang is not convinced.
“I worry about inventory, rent, inflation… I won’t say no, or never, but right now it’s not my top priority. I want to feel super-comfortable with every decision. I’m not ready yet.”
Anna Quan signature long-sleeved shirt: The style first resonated with New Yorkers.
Hoang started Anna Quan in 2013 with a run of shirts, made because “they were relatively inexpensive and I knew how to make them,” she says. “I was a no-name designer, and they were simple to produce and sample.”
The brand first resonated with New Yorkers, who Hoang believes discovered it via celebrity stylist Kate Young, an early fan. “It was very specific. It was New York women who would write to me and say, ‘I wear the shirt on the subway, and people ask me about it all the time.’ ” It was the first sense she had that the products were finding an audience beyond Hoang herself.
And while Hoang will bring back those shirts, with their signature elongated
A woman was backed online for refusing to celebrate her colleague’s engagement, after revealing she was told off by other team members for not showing any enthusiasm when the news was announced.
In a post shared on Mumsnet earlier in March, under the username Thelaughingtonepoliceman, she explained that the reason she wasn’t sufficiently excited when her colleague broke her engagement news and started “waving [her] medium-sized rock around the office,” was that she didn’t think the woman was truly happy.
According to the poster, the woman who just got engaged had been in a relationship with her now-fiance for over seven years. During their relationship, on two occasions she had been in tears at work parties because of his behavior, including once when he accused her of going out just to try to sleep with other men.
A recent survey by YouGov found that 63 percent of Americans who have been in a monogamous relationship say they have never cheated on their partner, while 33 percent say they have cheated somehow, either physically, emotionally, or both. And 54 percent of those who have been in a monogamous relationship say they have been cheated on.
The poster continued by saying that everyone at the office was giving the newly engaged woman attention while she just gave her a “peremptory” nod, said “congratulations, very exciting” and wandered off, while the rest of them talked about the ring for a further 20 minutes.
She wrote: “Full disclosure I find the whole business of engagement and engagement rings pointless and utterly embarrassing at the best of times. If you want to get married,
Black History Month is in full effect and now is the time to celebrate and address the state of Black beauty and its place in the industry. You can find Black-owned brands in every business category, but for beauty, the range of haircare, makeup, skincare, body care and wellness business are popping up at a massive rate.
We see more representation outside of DTC, where Black-owned brands own shelf space in Sephora, Credo and Ulta. To add more color and context to the conversation, we’re even seeing Black, cisgender men pay more attention to their skincare routine and shed the layered stigma surrounding men and beauty. However, there is still a chat to be had around the struggles of scaling for a Black beauty business and why men have denied themselves of proper skincare over the years — and we’re leading the convo.
For the culture, Hypebae Beauty has tapped two Black-owned brands BAO Essentials and Klur to help facilitate the conversation and give the real deal of the state and matters of Black Beauty. Our wish is that this roundtable will provoke discussion and spark change within and outside of our respective communities.
As always, the only way to close these gaps is by investing in and purchasing from brands that derive from underrepresented groups.
As a Black man in the beauty/skincare industry, what are some common myths you’d like to dispel for men who may be interested in skincare but have hesitancy?
Black men have always wondered about their skin yet expressing concerns was frowned upon by societal standards. In the past, being worried about beautifying your skin to obtain a flawless image was a “no-no” for black men and wasn’t looked upon as masculine.
Sadly,
