First up
Blustery weather conditions Sunday last at Peter’s Rock in Saint Andrew did little to hamper the gender reveal bash of Olympian superstar Usain Bolt and his fiancee Kasi Bennett. The couple hugged, kissed and smiled non stop as fireworks lit up the sky to reveal that Baby Bolt is a girl!

Canadian-Jamaican model Winnie Harlow is the poster girl for the catchphrase ‘booked & busy’. This time the superstar model lends her style to a ‘Caribbean Bashment’- themed shoe collab with popular footwear and accessories brand Steve Madden. With style names like ‘Savlamar’ and ‘Rumpunch’ there’s no disputing Harlow’s inspiration. “The collection was inspired by heat, vacation, my home Jamaica, and living your best life,” she shared.
And, just like that, the strut queen turned shoe designer now has another reason to update her already impressive résumé!
Then
American rapper Meek Mill and his pregnant girlfriend, founder of Philadelphia-based streetwear brand Milano Di Rouge, Milan Harris, joined the list of celebs who have chosen Jamaica for their island getaway. In a video posted to his Instagram account, the rapper and his friends can be seen ‘giving out pedal bike smoke’ as they popped wheelies on bicycles. Harris seemed to enjoy luxuriating at the adult-only Excellence Oyster Bay resort as she let her baby-bump take centre stage in bikini-clad pics.
