When you need a golden-nugget of unfiltered, empowering advice, Adeola Patronne and Mariam Musa are the ultimate hype girls. The best-friend-duo, and hosts of BBC 1XTRA's "Pressed" podcast, are known for their hilarious, honest, and fearless take on every group chat dilemma. With their unwavering confidence, it makes total sense that they've now stepped out of the recording booth and straight into the new Ann Summers' Glow Time campaign – and their mission is to make us all feel body confident this party season. "The campaign is all about empowering women, and Adeola and I have our podcast where we are very open and talk about things like sex and relationships, so it's just really on brand for us. It feels so nice to be a part of it," Mariam tells POPSUGAR. Wearing an array of ultra glam ...
Florence Pugh's fashion domination continues as she is the newest star to officially join the Valentino family. The "Don't Worry Darling" actor was revealed as the face of the Italian fashion house on 26 April as she showcases the iconic Valentino rockstud bags and shoes in a series of gorgeous images shot by fashion photographer, Steven Meisel. In the photos, Pugh can be seen expressing a range of emotions, from shock to joy, while holding the rockstud bag in a range of colour ways, including Barbiecore pink and metallic silver. And she wasn't about to let clothes distract from the accessories at hand. For the six campaign images, styled by Joe McKenna, Pugh can be seen rocking the trouser-less trend in plunging bodysuits and studded heels, as well as off-the-shoulder dresses and printed ...

With greying knickers and ill-fitting bras, it could do with some TLC and Self Esteem’s sensational new lingerie campaign has arrived to provide us with some much-needed inspiration. The singer, also known as Rebecca Lucy Taylor, fronts the body positive campaign for Bluebella ahead of Valentine’s Day, but this isn’t a cutesy fashion move, she sees it as a “protest” against body shaming. Modelling 13 different styles from the latest collection, Self Est...
Germany still need to work on parts of their game before the start of the European Championship, coach Joachim Loew said on Sunday at the end of their nine-day training camp in Austria. The Germans, starting their tournament against world champions France on June 15, play their last warm-up match against Latvia on Monday. The Euros open on Friday. “I cannot fully draw conclusions from our camp just yet because our preparation continues and after the game tomorrow we have a week in Duesseldorf to prepare for France,” Loew, going into his final tournament as Germany coach, told a news conference. Loew has been in charge since 2006 and will be succeeded by his former assistant and former Bayern Munich coach Hansi Flick after the tournament.

Sergio Ramos was one of the noticeable face that didn’t appear in any of the photos of Real Madrid’s kit launch campaign for the 2021/22 season. MARCA has learned that he wasn’t present at the photo shoot for the new kit, which was launched by Real Madrid and Adidas this Tuesday. While it’s true that the entire squad doesn’t attend such photo shoots, Ramos has always been a central figure in such campaigns. It’s not known if this decision was the club’s or Ramos’ or a mutual one. It could also be the case that the photo shoot was held when Ramos was in isolation due to COVID-19, but Adidas always want as many stars as possible present and the dates would have been moved if there had been a desire for the captain to be present. It should also be pointed out that this has nothing to do with ...
The federal government on Tuesday denied media reports that it has “introduced or re-introduced’’ new restrictions on COVID-19. Information minister Lai Mohammed made the rebuttal at a meeting with online publishers in Lagos. Mohammed said there were no new restrictions, adding that the Presidential Steering Committee on COVID-19 only reiterated existing regulations to control spread of the disease. The Presidential Steering Committee on COVID-19 had on Monday announced the enforcement of a curfew across the country in a move it said was to forestall a possible new wave of the pandemic. “The nationwide curfew will be imposed tonight at midnight and it will run through till 4:00 a.m.,” the committee stated. But the minister, a member of the steering committee, said the committee’s national ...
Manchester City forward Sergio Aguero has issued an apology for his penalty miss against Chelsea. Aguero made a hash of his Panenka effort on Saturday, spooning the kick straight into the arms of Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy. It was a surprising slip from the usually unerring Argentine, but it was in keeping with a torrid season for the Premier League leaders from 12 yards out and contributed to a 2-1 defeat that prevented City from claiming the title. City boss Pep Guardiola refused to criticise the forward following the game, but Aguero has taken to Twitter to issue an apology. “I would like to apologise to my team-mates, staff and supporters for missing the penalty,” Aguero wrote. “It was a bad decision and I take full responsibility.” Aguero’s Panenka nightmare was the fourth penal...
