SO2 – March 14
First…
British-born, Jamaican-blooded model Jourdan Dunn is back at it! Dunn recently walked for Givenchy’s Fall/Winter ’21 show and took to Instagram to share her gratitude: “Back on the runway!” she wrote, with a series of praying hands emojis. She went on to thank Givenchy designer Matthew Williams — who went from working for music big names Kanye West and Lady Gaga to running his own brand — for including her in the show.

Jamaican-American Olympian Sanya Richards-Ross recently jetted to Jamaica to celebrate her birthday and 11th wedding anniversary with her husband Aaron Ross and their son Aaron Jermaine II. The retired track and field athlete vacayed at all-inclusive resort Ocean Coral Spring, in Mountain Spring Bay, Trelawny.

This year’s Critics’ Choice Awards took the form of a virtual ceremony, but though the event was different from previous stagings, many nominees still brought their best fashion looks. The night belonged to the celebs who got dressed up in their best evening wear for the special occasion (albeit from home). One standout was American actress Betsy Brandt — a nominee for Best Supporting Actress In A Limited Series Or Movie Made For Television: Soulmates — in a gown from womenswear line Greta Constantine. The brand is helmed by Jamaican-Canadian design duo Kirk Pickersgill and Stephen Wong.
