Priyanka Chopra's Anomaly Haircare made $50 million in 2024, beating out Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande's brands
Priyanka Chopra-Jonas is no stranger to stardom, having already achieved more than enough in Bollywood. However, the actor moved overseas after her grand wedding with Nick Jonas, and then set sights on Hollywood. Priyanka Chopra's Anomaly Haircare offers natural and sustainable haircare products without the risk of applying harmful chemicals.(PTI) There too, Priyanka enjoyed her fair share of fame, with Quantico becoming her breakout role. Impressively, Chopra-Jonas pocketed a cool $3 million per season. Then came Baywatch, where she played the antagonist, and starred opposite Hollywood's highest-paid actor – Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. Forbes reported that Priyanka earned $10 million between 2016 and 2017 – not bad for someone who's just relocated after ages building up a stardom in another country. However, Priyanka's source of income is not just from her appearances as an actor or from her brand endorsements. She's also an entrepreneur with a rather successful line of hair care products - Anomaly Haircare. What is Anomaly Haircare; what is the company's revenue? Anomaly Haircare offers natural and sustainable haircare products without the risk of applying harmful chemicals. Even the packaging is from recycled materials. Launched in 2011, Anomaly became the second wealthiest beauty brand of 2023, with reportedly $542.7 million revenue. This put Priyanka's product just below Rihanna's Fenty Beauty – which enjoys considerable media spotlight.

See how Anomaly compares to other products. Anomaly Haircare vs other celebrity brands: A comparison Anomaly Haircare had a revenue of $50 million in 2024, Brand Vision reported. This put Priyanka Chopra's product in the sixth spot, in terms of earnings. Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop, Jessica Alba's Honest Beauty, Kylie Jenner's Kylie Cosmetics, and Selena Gomez's Rare Rare Beauty, all outperformed Priyanka's brand, by several millions. Rihanna's Fenty retained the top spot, this time with a $602.4 million revenue. However, Priyanka's product fared much better than those belonging to other celebrities. Anomaly's revenue was higher than companies owned by Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, and Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown. While Lady Gaga's Haus Labs made $30 million, Ariana Grande's product brought in $25 million, and Brown's Florence by Mills earned $20 million.

John Lewis announces big shake-up across all 36 UK stores just days after cutting credit card perks
JOHN Lewis is making a huge change across all 36 UK stores just days after cutting its credit perks. The retailer has kicked off the make-over of its nationwide beauty halls as part of an £800million investment into the brand. 1 The retailer unveiled the new concept at its Liverpool store on Friday, with five more set to open this year. The beauty hall has been expanded by nearly 40% and features 132 premium brands, with 23 new or expanded counters including labels Trinny London and Byredo. John Lewis also announced a new partnership with Rihanna 's Fenty Beauty with the brand debuting in the Liverpool store and launching a new collection online. The singer and make-up mogul said she was "proud to expand our Fenty Beauty brands even further by finally launching at John Lewis in the UK". John Lewis last year pledged to inject more than £250million into its stores over two years as part of the restorations, which will pump a total of £800million into the John Lewis brand over the next four years. Peter Ruis, John Lewis's executive director, had said some of its stores needed "more love" after a challenging few years for the retailer, which has included a handful of store closures and a shift in shopping behaviours following the pandemic. However, the group is betting on the future of a modernised shopping experience, with its revamped beauty halls featuring "multi-sensory" experiences including fragrance spaces, treatment rooms and beauty services. Similar refurbishments are set to launch at stores in Bluewater, Solihull, Cambridge, Welwyn and London White City before the end of 2025. Vikki Kavanagh, John Lewis's chief commercial officer, said: "The vision is for the stores to be destinations where people can discover and shop curated collections, learn from an expert, try a new beauty treatment, or meet a friend for lunch." Beauty sales have surged by more than 40% over the past five years, attracting new and returning customers both in stores and online, John Lewis said. When the initiative is complete, the retailer expects to offer some 540 beauty counters, almost 70 treatment rooms, and more than 400 beauty services nationwide. John Lewis unveiled a £6.5million upgrade to its flagship Oxford Street store in London last year. This included a new larger beauty hall, a dedicated fragrance space and Waterstones bookshop within the store. Despite these investments, John Lewis sparked frustration among loyal shoppers by cutting its credit card perks earlier this month. One shopper on described the decision as the brand "shooting themselves in their own foot." How have John Lewis credit card perks changed? Since August 1, partnership credit card holders have seen their rewards reduced when shopping with other retailers. Previously, customers earned one point for every £4 spent at other stores, with each point converting into 1p and redeemable as gift vouchers for John Lewis and its sister brand, Waitrose. However, the spending threshold has now increased to £10, meaning customers need to spend more at other retailers or wait longer to accumulate rewards. The rewards for shopping at John Lewis and Waitrose remain unchanged, with customers continuing to earn five points for every £4 spent and receiving a £5 voucher for every 500 points earned. A John Lewis Money spokesperson said: "Our rewards are being updated to help maintain our market-leading reward for spending at John Lewis and Waitrose, where customers earn 1.25% back on every pound spent." It is not the first time the retailer has lowered rewards for spending elsewhere. In 2020, the retailer reduced the amount customers of points customers earn from purchases made at other stores from one point for £2 spent to £4. But it is not all bad news for card holders, with the retailer announcing bigger rewards for loyal customers. For the next three years, shoppers will earn triple points when shopping in John Lewis stores and double points when shopping online. Credit card need-to-knows NOT using a credit card effectively can wreak havoc on your finances and your credit score. If you don't keep up with repayments or default on your debt, you are likely to get a black mark on your credit record, which could affect your ability to get a credit card, loan or mortgage in the future. It's important not to let yourself get sucked into overspending. You should always clear the full balance as soon as possible. If you have a poor credit score, don't bank on being approved for a card or getting the 0% deal you'd hoped for. Card providers only have to give the advertised rate to 51% of applicants, so you could end up paying more interest than you bargained for. If you've got a poor credit record, you're less likely to get the best rates. And if you are looking for a new credit card, don't apply for lots at once. After your 0% period is up, lenders can charge upwards of 40% interest, so if you have not repaid the debt fully by then, try to move the debt onto another 0% deal.

Rihanna Elevates the Office Siren Aesthetic in Her Latest Maternity Look
THE RUNDOWN: Rihanna is preparing for her baby's arrival. The Fenty Beauty founder was spotted shopping at a children's boutique in Beverly Hills on August 7. For the occasion, she paired a navy pinstripe blazer with a white top and baggy dark denim. She accessorized with a Gucci purse, statement gold jewelry, and baby-pink Puma sneakers. Rihanna first announced that she and A$AP Rocky were expecting their third child at the Met Gala in May. The couple has two sons, RZA, 3, and Riot, 2. Rihanna's last public appearance with RZA and Riot was in July at the Smurfs premiere in Los Angeles. Her sons wore kids' versions of looks from Jonathan Anderson's debut Dior Men collection, and she wore Saint Laurent. While at the premiere, Rihanna revealed that she knows the sex of the new baby, but that she's keeping that information private for now. 'A few people know,' she told Entertainment Tonight. 'But [there was] nothing spectacular, no production. Just a slip-up here and there, I guess. Don't try to catch me now.' In a 2023 interview with British Vogue, she spoke about whether she wants to have more kids. 'Listen, I'm down for whatever,' she said. 'My wish would be I would like to have more kids but whatever God wants for me, I'm here.' She's also not picky about the baby's sex. 'I'm open,' she says. 'Girl, boy. Whatever.'

Rihanna's Fenty Beauty added to John Lewis's umbrella
John Lewis is pushing further into the fast-growing beauty market, refurbishing its 'beauty halls' and forming a partnership with Rihanna's Fenty Beauty, as part of a wider £800 million turnaround plan. The employee-owned retailer is reopening its Liverpool branch on Friday with an expanded 16,000 sq ft beauty department, housing 132 premium brands, fragrances and new treatment spaces. It marks the start of a multimillion-pound investment to upgrade beauty departments in six stores this year, including Bluewater, Solihull and Cambridge, to fill the gap on the high street left by the likes of Debenhams. The retailer has already refurbished the beauty section of its biggest shop in London's Oxford Street. The drive includes the introduction of Fenty Beauty for the first time at John Lewis, alongside high-end brands such as Byredo, Trinny London and Maison Francis Kurkdjian. John Lewis is undergoing a turnaround under its new chairman Jason Tarry, the former Tesco executive who is leading the effort alongside executive director Peter Ruis. The group is banking on fast-growing categories such as beauty, fragrance and hospitality to reinvigorate its offering and drive footfall. Vikki Kavanagh, chief commercial officer, said: 'John Lewis is making this commitment because its stores are the physical heartbeat of the brand. While our digital store offers convenience, our physical stores are designed for connection and discovery, ensuring customers receive the full John Lewis experience, however they choose to shop.' The strategy follows a turbulent period for the group, which faces stiff competition from discounters and online retailers, with department store footfall under pressure since the pandemic. Its cost-cutting programme, including store closures and bonus reductions, proved unpopular with staff and customers alike. • John Lewis knocks M&S off top spot for customer satisfaction John Lewis operates 34 department stores and has seen beauty emerge as one of its most resilient categories, with sales rising more than 40 per cent over the past five years. It is aiming to capitalise on renewed interest in the sector, which added £30.4 billion to Britain's GDP in 2024, a 9 per cent annual increase, according to industry estimates. The new concept aims to move away from traditional beauty counters, instead offering more 'open and sensory spaces' where shoppers can test products, receive consultations and book treatments. By the end of the expansion, John Lewis will operate more than 540 branded counters and nearly 70 treatment rooms across its store estate. Heena Mohammed, head of beauty, said: 'We're one of the only true British department stores left, and while we are in that space, we're always thinking, 'what more can we give to our customers? How can we stand out differently and give that customer unique experiences?'' Marks & Spencer has also been tapping into the category by stocking third-party brands including Estée Lauder and Clinique. Rihanna, founder of Fenty Beauty, said she was pleased to expand her brand 'even further by finally launching at John Lewis in the UK.'
