First Things First

A few days after the V-Day civil ceremony of Trinidadian soca star Machel Montana to Renee Butcher, the pair again exchanged vows in front of their “famalay” at the final staging of the star’s concert series, “Machel Mondays”. Themed “The Wedding”, the all-white affair took place at Hasely Crawford Stadium, and included thousands of fans who had missed out on the couple’s private ceremony. For the nuptials, Butcher donned an exquisite cutwork gown conceptualised by Trinbagonian designer Meiling and cultural icon Peter Minshall.

“Amazing. It was just this idea I had to crown them the prince and princess of the land of the Hummingbird once they were pronounced man and wife, woman and husband. Meiling and I immediately thought of Suzie Deyal. And voila! Hummingbird boy and girl tiaras exquisitely fashioned out of wire.

“Machel just this minute sent me this extraordinary photograph, himself elated beyond measure,” said legendary cultural icon Peter Minshall.

H.E.R for his latest collections. Yes, collections, as the designer debuted a total of three at his London runway show. For the extravaganza, Hilfiger fittingly snagged a slew of top faces, many of them with Jamaican heritage. Naomi Campbell led the charge as models like Winnie Harlow and Tomiwa Mareyann followed, in fresh-faced looks from iconic British make-up artist Pat McGrath.

Jamaican beauty and fitness star Keyshia Ka’oir and her rapper husband Gucci Mane (both affectionately called The Wopsters) definitely got the memo that pink was in as they both rocked the delicate hue for Gucci’s 40th birthday celebration, which coincided with Valentine’s Day. Instagram timelines were simultaneously flooded with drool-worthy posts as the Mrs dripped in diamonds and sizzled in a feathery, fitted number. The birthday boy, who has become quite the style icon since wedding the Jamaican beauty, did not disappoint in a satin suit with crystal loafers. Celebrations continued with custom luggage from Italian luxury brand Gucci.
