Shakira
The singer, 48, looked pretty in pink when she walked the red carpet in her princess-like gown with a voluminous train and downside cutouts by Prabal Gurung creation. Her honey-blonde bouncy waves, pink gemstone pendant necklace, and sheer black gloves complemented the look.
Nicole Kidman
The actress, 51, wore a black corset gown with multiple layers of petticoats, picot-edged basque, and silk satin bow belts at the hip and waist. She completed her look with a cropped side-part bob, a black lace scarf, black spandex jersey gloves, earrings, a ring, and earrings by Cindy Chao, The Art Jewel's White Label Collection. Cristóbal Balenciaga recreated this ensemble by a Spanish designer. It originally appeared in the October issue of Harper's Bazaar's London edition in 1952.

REUTERS/Mario Anzuoni/File Photo SYDNEY - Australia's Super Netball league will be broadcast to more than 65 countries over the next three years after Netball Australia struck a deal with Whoopi Goldberg's All Women's Sports Network (AWSN), the governing body said on Friday. Netball, one of a few sports created exclusively for women and girls, is the most popular participation sport for females in Australia with Netball Australia estimating there are up to a million players across the country. The professional Super Netball league, which was launched in 2017, has eight teams and 41 of its games, including the playoffs and finals, will now be broadcast on AWSN. "This breakthrough deal puts netball on screens across the globe and cements our place at the forefront of women's sport," Netball Australia chief executive Stacey West said in a statement. "AWSN shares our vision of taking women's sport to new heights. Together, we're creating a platform for our athletes and game to shine like never before." Co-founded by Oscar-winning actor and comedian Goldberg, AWSN was launched late last year as the first global media channel dedicated exclusively to showcasing women's sports. "I am so proud to be thanking you for joining us on AWSN," Goldberg said in a video message to Super Netball released by Netball Australia. "I see that your fans are really loving you, so we want to make sure that we put you everywhere in the world so that everybody knows about you."

The bixie is the '90s-inspired haircut of the summer
What's a bixie, you may ask? Unofficially: One of the coolest haircuts of the summer. Officially: A hybrid between a bob and a pixie. In other words, the best of all worlds. Here, a look at what exactly makes a bixie a 'bixie'—and how to style it if you decide to make the chop yourself. Getty Breaking down the bixie cut The bixie has quickly become the most-requested haircut at salons. For good reason: 'It's a cut that combines the freshness and casualness of the pixie with the length of the bob, combining shorter layers at the nape of the neck and sideburns and leaving longer ones at the top and close to the face,' explains Spanish hairstylist and Redken ambassador Juandiegoteo. Think: A grown-out pixie or a choppy bob with face-framing bangs. Francesca Babbi With a vibe that calls to minds the It-girls of the 1990s like Winona Ryder, Cameron Diaz, Halle Berry, and Victoria Beckham, it allows multiple variations depending on hair texture, bone structure, and desired length. 'It can be adapted to all types of hair and face shapes: play with the bangs and leave them down, tousled, or wavy to achieve a classic or edgy style,' recommends stylist Mar Peón of Menta Beauty Place in Madrid. Who can wear a bixie cut? While the bixie can be adapted for anyone, 'it's a cut that especially favours oval faces as it highlights the cheekbones,' says Juandiegoteo. He also considers it 'ideal for fine hair because it adds a lot of volume. And, it also works well with wavy and curly hair for a more casual style,' he explains. Felicitas Ordás of Felicitas Hair says it's also a great cut for anyone who wants to highlight their jawline, shoulders, and neck. 'With this cut, the nape of the neck and sides are lengthened.' Her advice: Comb it with the ends slightly outwards to give it a playful, gamine look.

Flaming yakitori at Firebird by Suetomi
NEW RESTAURANT Firebird by Suetomi #01-05 Mondrian Singapore 83 Neil Road Singapore 089813 Tel: 9776 2476 Open for dinner only Tues to Sun: 5 pm to 11 pm THERE are two ways to experience Firebird by Suetomi – as a stickler for Japanese chicken-only yakitori, or one who thinks that so long as it has feathers and thighs, chicken is chicken, no matter where they hatched. Naturally, the second will be happier at this new import of a Tokyo eatery that reputedly has a one-year waitlist. The first will just quibble about the chicken's pedigree, the absence of gentle embers infusing a hint of smokiness into the meat, and the unsubtle bonfire that engulfs tiny skewered morsels and sends pungent fumes through the fibres of your clothing. Imagine a yakitori chef getting retrenched – him and his hibachi replaced by a flame-loving robatakayi guy with Etxebarri ambitions. That sums up Firebird, named for its show-stopping, multi-level wood-burning fireplace that seems like an overly dramatic way to cook chicken on a stick. But that's what made the original Makitori Shinkobe stand out among the other yakitori joints in Tokyo, and now in Singapore, where the admission price of this show is a cool S$188 for its chicken omakase. A NEWSLETTER FOR YOU Friday, 2 pm Lifestyle Our picks of the latest dining, travel and leisure options to treat yourself. Sign Up Sign Up Check tradition at the door and just go with the flow at this cosy, fire-facing counter set up at the Mondrian, where Firebird takes over the space vacated by the short-lived Spanish restaurant Noa by Olivia. Try not to get seated in the corner on the left, or you'll spend the evening dodging servers constantly passing you to get into the kitchen. Grilled chicken thigh. PHOTO: FIREBIRD BY SUETOMI The menu is straightforward – different parts of chicken fired up by affable chefs and served, alternating with side dishes to break the monotony. After a little bowl of chicken consomme, we get our first skewer of chicken thigh – juicy and well cooked on the outside but still a little red inside, thanks to uneven flame cooking. The Polish oak used for the fire does its magic on the little box of cold water spinach that comes next – with an intense smokiness that can't get any better if you wrapped up the burning wood chips and inhaled it. There's also a cold corn mousse topped with clear jelly to cool you off. Very sweet corn kernels are there for texture. A juicy skewer of chicken neck or seseri. PHOTO: FIREBIRD BY SUETOMI Chicken neck is one of the highlights, with much of the oil released and leaving some crisp fat and marbled meat that's bouncy with a good bite. It's followed up by smooth chawanmushi, topped with fresh sakura ebi and crunchy green beans. Chicken breast with harissa or spicy red-pepper relish. PHOTO: FIREBIRD BY SUETOMI The rest of it is fairly predictable – dryish breast meat topped with a red pepper relish and chicken thigh again, but topped with leeks. This time it's overcooked and dry. Anything with fat and skin works best, like crispy-skinned chicken wings, as well as offal-like chunky-chewy hearts. Chawanmushi with sakura ebi. PHOTO: FIREBIRD BY SUETOMI The chicken itself doesn't have much flavour to speak of, and it's not Firebird's fault. Unlike in Japan, where chickens can taste different from prefecture to prefecture, here it's like chicken you eat at home – just more professionally cooked. You can't help thinking that those French-breed, Malaysian-raised chickens may be good when they're brined and roasted, but they don't stand up to scrutiny, especially when the focus is on pure, clean flavour. Plus at S$188, it's pretty pricey for just, well, chicken. Claypot rice with marinated egg yolk. PHOTO: FIREBIRD BY SUETOMI While the yakitori itself doesn't spark joy, the main dish – claypot rice – does. Chicken mince is wok-fried over the flames and mixed with rice cooked in a donabe. Try it on its own first, and enjoy the savoury smokiness. We prefer it this way, but the chefs ply you with other condiments to jazz it up. First, there's a ginger sauce that gives it a Hainanese chicken rice vibe. To make it even more elaborate, the rice gets a shower of crispy tempura batter-like bits, and a marinated egg yolk to mix into the rice for a creamy, velvety sheen. Try not to polish it all off so that they can shape the leftovers into onigiri for you to bring home. To end off, dive into a scoop of cherrywood-smoked vanilla ice cream, paired with cold lapsang souchong tea. Firebird by Suetomi is visually fun and has novelty on its side, but it doesn't really lift the yakitori experience per se. The chefs do what they can with the quality of the meat they can get – although their skill at achieving super-crisp chicken skin is the true X-factor. If that's the reason for the year-long waitlist in Tokyo, coupled with their homegrown poultry, we can understand. Here, it helps, but it will take more than that for us to join any waitlist.
