Vanessa Williams misses her mother 'tremendously'
Vanessa Williams misses her late mother "tremendously". The 62-year-old star was left heartbroken when her mother Helen passed away aged 85 last December whilst on a trip to London to see her daughter perform in The Devil Wears Prada musical on the West End and explained that she was the figure who made the biggest impact on her life. Speaking to Stylist magazine, Vanessa said: "Not only did she make a huge impression on me, but she influenced so many of the people she taught as a school teacher. She was an absolute force and I miss her tremendously." The singer and actress had to resign as Miss America in 1984 after nude photos of her were published in Penthouse magazine and felt that the scandal gave her an "immediate jump" into adulthood. The Ugly Betty star said: "In 1984, aged 21, I resigned as Miss America. "I'm working on a documentary to explore every angle of it, but it was an immediate jump into becoming an adult." Meanwhile, Vanessa explained that she would be happy to relive the births of her children – Melanie, 38, Jillian, 36, and Devin, 32, from her marriage to Ramon Hervey, and Sasha, 25, from her relationship with second husband Rick Fox – as giving birth was the "best gift" of her life. Asked if she could experience one day in her life again, the Colors of the Wind singer said: "It's tough because every time I gave birth was the best gift I've ever had. "So I would say those four days – the opportunities to give life have been incredible." Vanessa says she is concerned about the current political climate in the US as "freedom and justice" are under threat. She explained: "I turn on the news and watch liberties being taken away from US citizens on a daily basis: it's scary." However, Williams is confident that the power of the "human spirit" can help the world overcome its current challenges. The Desperate Housewives star said: "Despite the chaos and tumult happening worldwide, it never stops the human spirit for peace, humanity, ease and community. That's what we have to remember: love is number one."

The Devil Wears Jhumka: The Meryl Streep Earrings In The Devil Wears Prada Now Going Viral
2025 is all about rediscovering the beauty of Indian aesthetics, and we're all here for it. Whether it's major fashion houses drawing inspiration from Indian designers or viral social media trends celebrating Indian fashion, the spotlight is finally on what's truly ours. Indian fashion is getting the global recognition it has long deserved. A recent viral moment on social media proves just how far back this influence goes, highlighting how The Devil Wears Prada may have been ahead of its time - especially when it comes to fashion rooted in Indian culture. In a resurfaced clip from the 2006 film, netizens couldn't help but notice Meryl Streep - playing the iconic Miranda Priestly - wearing what looks unmistakably like an Indian accessory: the beloved Chandbali earrings. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Manishka Sharma (@manishkasharmaa) The scene in question is where Miranda expresses regret for hiring "the smart, fat girl" (AKA Anne Hathaway) after missing her daughter's recital. Dressed in an all-black outfit with stockings, a statement belt, and a long hoop necklace, Miranda's look was completed with none other than traditional Chandbali earrings. Social media erupted, with many users stunned that they hadn't noticed the earrings even after watching the film "100 times" over a period of 19 years. Here are some reactions: What Are Chandbali Earrings Chandbali earrings are a distinctive style of Indian jewellery, known for their iconic crescent moon shape. The name blends "Chand" (moon) and "Bali" (earring) in Hindi-literally translating to moon earrings. Typically crafted from gold or silver, they are elaborately adorned with pearls, gemstones, Kundan, Meenakari, or Polki work. Historical Origins Chandbalis trace their origins to the Mughal era, where they were first worn by royalty - queens and princesses alike. Some believe the earliest versions originated in Persian kingdoms and were brought to India by the Mughals. They gained immense popularity in Rajasthan among Rajput dynasties and later in Hyderabad under the Nizams, who helped make the style a pan-Indian phenomenon. It Carries Cultural Symbolism Too The crescent moon motif is rich in meaning - symbolising feminine energy, elegance, and celestial beauty. Though initially exclusive to nobility, Chandbalis have since transcended class and region, becoming a staple in Indian jewellery boxes across generations. From intricately enamelled Meenakari versions to modern street-style adaptations, Chandbalis are everywhere today - Bollywood red carpets, weddings, festivals, and even, it turns out, Hollywood. Because yes, the Devil really did wear Chandbalis. And as Indian fashion continues to shine globally, there's more to look forward to: the much-anticipated Devil Wears Prada Season 2 has officially begun filming. So, who knows? Maybe this time, Miranda Priestly won't just wear Indian accessories, maybe something more. Meanwhile, here's a musical tribute to the iconic Chandbali earrings by musician Aditya A:
