It’s a pleasure to introduce GLAMOUR’s first issue of 2025, featuring an exciting dual theme of Wellness and Entertainment.

They share with us their journeys to music and what lies ahead for their art. This issue sets the stage for a wholesome and inspiring year ahead, filled with inspiration and creativity. One of the highlights of the issue is the big reveal of our illustrious Women of the Year 2024 winners, beautifully captured in…

What is it about lingerie and its appeal that it evolved to become a literal billion-dollar industry? The origins of our undergarments date back to ancient times, inspired by modesty, function and practicality. No one back then could have envisioned what they would become. Fast forward to the present day; we see the evolution of lingerie and have to question its allure. Is it because it conceals the most intimate parts of our body, like a secret? One thing we cannot deny is that it arouses powerful emotions. Ever shop for a beautiful lingerie set, and once you wear it, you simply feel… different? Sensual, sexy and confident? No matter your size, it somehow transforms you from a plain jane to a sex goddess. No offence intended if you identify…

Mocha Mousse has been named Colour of the Year for 2025 by colour authority Pantone. The announcement came as no surprise, as chocolate brown was one of the biggest colour trends for 2024; and in light of global events, the world has much need of “comfort, harmony and connection” – all words that have been used to describe the Mocha Mousse hue. With this in mind, we offer you a variety of shopping options to incorporate this latest trend into your everyday wardrobe. It may first have been spotted on the runways, but we’re excited to see more of this shade in our stores as the year unfolds.…

Are ankle bracelets – the Y2K jewellery trend – making a comeback? Kylie Jenner attended the Chanel SS25 Haute Couture show rocking a jewellery trend that has our seal of approval. Dangling from her ankle was a very cute Chanel ankle bracelet that sat elegantly against her foot and complemented her outfit. It’s important to note, she isn’t the only celebrity endorsing this trend – and by no means is it a new one.They were all the rage in the early 2000s, with a young Britney and Christina wearing them. Amina Muaddi, designer of her namesake shoe brand, has been rocking this accessory for a very long time. She loves them so much that she sells her own designs on her website, and they are simply luxury, with crystals that…

LANDAWILLIE SESETHU_YABO DANIELACANNY GLAMOUR: Can you describe your personal style? Landa Willie: I’d like to think that at the core, my style is uncomplicated, comfortable street. That’s always my foundation; from there, I just build and play. Even when I’m switching up, the base will always be street. It’s my go-to vibe, no matter how much I experiment. G: Can you share your journey in cultivating your personal aesthetic? LW: It’s been a bit trial and error, honestly – buying a whole bunch of nonsense, but also getting my hands on some really cool and timeless pieces. My style is deeply tied to my personality and even my queer identity. I have a feminine exterior, but a very masculine interior; I like pieces that reflect that. For a long time…
