Davido Gifted Chioma a $300K Watch and a $950K Ring at Their Miami Wedding

Davido and Chioma’s Miami wedding already had the glitter of a thousand flashbulbs — designer gowns, an ocean breeze, and a guest list dripping in star power. But just when you thought the romance couldn’t possibly sparkle more, Davido dropped a surprise that could light up the Florida coastline. Mid-reception, in struts celebrity jeweller Benny Da Jeweler — the man behind some of the most jaw-dropping timepieces and bling in celebrity history — holding a little box with a very big secret: a $300K+ Richard Mille watch for Chioma. The bride’s reaction? Pure joy. Ours? Somewhere between a gasp and Googling “how to marry a Davido.” And just because one gasp-worthy gift clearly wasn’t enough, Benny also revealed he was the mastermind behind Chioma’s wedding ring: a 10-carat, GIA-certified, F-colour oval diamond worth a casual $950K. Yes, nearly a million dollars sparkling on her finger. Weddings are supposed to be about love and commitment… but if yours also includes luxury jewellery with a postcode-sized price tag? Well, we won’t say no.

Inside the Must-Visit London Restaurants Everyone in Fashion Is Secretly Obsessed With

Once upon a time, it was about what you wore to dinner. Now? It’s also about where you’re having dinner. In the fashion world’s ever-growing love affair with food, restaurants have become more than just places to eat — they’re part of the look. From Dua Lipa’s go-to Persian haunt to North London’s cult ravioli spot, these aren’t just restaurants. They’re cultural currency. In an era where style and sustenance blur, food has become a new kind of flex. Whether it’s that Palace x McDonald’s tee or a perfectly lit plate of burrata, the fashion set has made it clear: dining out is the new drop. Think editor-approved menus, DJ takeovers, and interiors as curated as a runway set — and yes, we’re absolutely screenshotting it all for the grid. Let’s break it down — from the TikTok-viral to the IYKYK gems: Berenjak (Soho & Borough) Dua Lipa’s Persian fave. Think sizzling kebabs, house-made flatbread, and rustic, Tehran-inspired interiors that feel like a Wes Anderson film if it were set in the Middle East. Rochelle Canteen A low-key bike shed-turned-garden dining dream. Hidden entrances, rotating seasonal menus, and the kind of off-duty model crowd that make it feel like London’s fashion campfire. Permit Room (West London) Dishoom’s cooler, chattier little sibling. Bombay-style all-day cafe with spicy puffs, French toast, and actual rooms upstairs you can crash in. Yes, sleepovers are back. Gaia (Mayfair) Greek, glamorous, and good for a scene. If you like a little performance with your grilled octopus, this is your moment. Zephyr (Notting Hill) Greek Island vibes with London polish. Instagrammable lighting, fashion week sightings, and flavor bombs disguised as small plates. Trullo (Islington) A fashion institution, not just a restaurant. Sage-buttered pumpkin ravioli that could make you cry, and now doing a Harvey Nichols residency? Elite behavior. Rita’s (Soho & East London) Modern American with a British accent. Known for cult sandwiches, intimate lighting, and natural wines you won’t stop thinking about. Alley Cats Pizza (Marylebone & Chelsea) Vintage cartoon chaos meets New York-style pies. Fashion girls love a slice, especially one served with garlic butter and a side of irony. Nina (Marylebone) Italian classics reimagined — and yes, the tiramisu is bigger than your clutch. Dress accordingly. Bar Crispin (Soho) Small plates. Natural wine. Beef tartare on a crumpet. It’s giving: food for people who know their fabrics. Strakers (Notting Hill) TikTok’s favorite chef-turned-restaurateur. Think low-intervention wines, perfect pastas, and chaotic good energy.

Barbie’s Newest Doll Wears an Insulin Pump—and It’s About Time

Barbie’s done a lot over the years. She’s been an astronaut, a president, a doctor, and—briefly—a mermaid. But now? She’s finally stepping into something a little more real: type 1 diabetes visibility. And we have Lila Moss to thank for that. Ahead of the August 2025 launch of Barbie’s most inclusive lineup yet, the brand just unveiled a doll inspired by the British model and activist—complete with a glucose monitor, insulin pump, and that signature Lila-level cool-girl style. Yes, the doll actually has medical gear sculpted into her look, and no, this isn’t a drill. Courtesy of Barbie Lila, who’s been open about managing type 1 diabetes since her teenage years, called the collaboration a deeply personal moment. Because when one of the world’s most iconic toys shows up with a visible chronic condition? That’s not just a cute accessory. That’s representation. And yes, she said she gets messages from people who finally feel seen. Cue the happy tears. Courtesy of Lila Moss Now, in case you’re wondering—this isn’t just Barbie slapping a medical patch on a doll for diversity points. The detail work is precise. We’re talking wearable tech: glucose monitor on the arm, insulin pump on the leg, blood sugar kit in the handbag. Fashion meets function meets actual awareness. This is not your 2001 sparkle-fairy Barbie. As part of the launch, Mattel is also partnering with Breakthrough T1D (the global org formerly known as JDRF), and has pledged a £20,000 donation to support education, research, and community programmes. Which honestly? Feels like a much-needed step for a brand that’s trying to walk the very thin, very glittery line between being iconic and inclusive. The new doll joins the Barbie Fashionistas 2025 collection, which already includes dolls with hearing aids, prosthetic limbs, vitiligo, Down’s syndrome, and more. With over 175 variations in skin tone, body shape, and visible disability, the Fashionistas line is basically Barbie’s way of saying: “The world is not one-size-fits-all, and we’re finally catching on.” Mattel’s SVP Krista Berger even said it herself—Barbie shapes how kids see the world. And for the millions of children growing up with conditions like type 1 diabetes, this doll might be the first time they see someone who looks, acts, and lives like them… on the shelf. In a tutu or not. And let’s be honest: that’s how you change the game.
