Her carousel of free-spirited boho dresses took over our collective minds and social media feeds, inspiring the return of all things boho. But amidst the chiffon and ruffles that Kamali has reintroduced for the modern day Chloé girl, her SS25 collection for the fashion house has also set the agenda for some of summer's most coveted items. Think sheer lace skirts, excellent ballet flats and, perhaps slightly more unexpected: seashell-inspired jewellery. A sparkly take on a nostalgic item, Chloé's seashell earrings have been cropping up in the wardrobes of fashion editors and influencers alike. The ultimate endorsement? Maya Jama wore a pair for her debut on the latest season of Love Island . Taking to Instagram, Jama kicked off her Love Island wardrobe with an archival Versace swimsuit and sarong set finished with statement gilded seashell earrings and a matching cuff.

From surrealist fishbone necklaces at Schiaparelli and statement earrings at Tory Burch, to Zimmermann's elevated take on puka shells, beachy vibes have clearly taken over the style set just in time for summer. But it's not just the luxury designers getting in on the action – seashell jewellery has also been a regular sighting across high street brands. Case in point?

Miss Somalia's emotional journey: A survivor's stand against female genital mutilation
Standing on the Miss World 2025 stage, Zainab Jama, Miss Somalia, delivered a deeply emotional testimony that moved many to tears. Speaking during the 'Head-to-Head' challenge, Jama recounted being forced to undergo female genital mutilation (FGM) at the age of seven. Her story, painfully detailed and courageously told, highlighted a tradition that continues to harm millions of girls around the world. Now living in the United Kingdom, Jama is using her platform to advocate for the end of this brutal practice. FGM encompasses procedures that involve the partial or total removal of the external female genitalia. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 230 million girls and women alive today have been subjected to FGM, with more than four million girls at risk each year. Born in Somalia, Jama grew up as a refugee, fleeing her homeland due to conflict and climate crises. After resettling with her family in the UK, she rebuilt her life—but the trauma of her past remained. 'I'm the founder of the Female Initiative Foundation, a project to bond from one of the darkest moments of my life,' she told the audience. 'I stand here today, not just as a voice for the voiceless, but as a survivor of female genital mutilation.' Jama described the sense of powerlessness she felt as a child, remembering the moment her body and rights were taken away in the name of tradition. With a voice trembling from emotion, she recalled, 'I was seven years old. I was outside, playing with my friends. When I was picked up, my clothes were ripped off, and I was taken to a room where three women waited with blades, scissors and old tools.' None of them were medically trained. The procedure was carried out without anaesthesia. 'They told me to be quiet, to be brave and proud—because this was our tradition,' she said. Once the cutting was complete, her skin was stitched together with thick thread, leaving a small opening barely enough for urine or menstrual blood to pass through.

Once the cutting was complete, her skin was stitched together with thick thread, leaving a small opening barely enough for urine or menstrual blood to pass through. This form of FGM is known as infibulation. Jama was then confined to a dark room for days, legs tightly bound, bleeding and in pain. 'That part, after the procedures, is where a lot of girls die. That moment changed me forever, and my childhood came to an end. I survived, but many girls didn't, and they don't,' she said. Her mission now is to raise awareness and prevent other girls from facing the same trauma. Jama emphasised that her fight is for the future: 'They were taught that suffering is part of being a woman, and that this is normal. But it's not normal; it's not okay, and it's not part of our destiny.' Through her foundation, she engages directly with communities, educating families and especially mothers. She speaks publicly, sharing her story to challenge cultural norms. 'Love should never—tradition should never—come at the cost of a child's body or soul. We can honour our traditions without harming our little daughters,' she said. Jama pledged to continue her advocacy work until FGM is no longer tolerated, even if it means facing resistance. Standing beside her on stage, Julia Morley, CEO of the Miss World Organisation, offered comfort and publicly supported Jama's efforts. 'We've heard a voice that needs to be listened to by grandmothers and mothers in your country,' Morley said, stressing the importance of educating women without condemning them for inherited beliefs. Morley called FGM a 'social denigration, cruelty and totally unacceptable, unnecessary thing to do to any female,' and praised Jama's courage. 'This isn't politics. This is humanity.' IOL Lifestyle

Gen Z Woman's Strategy for Landing Her Dream Job at 22 Goes Viral
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Generation Z graduate has gone viral online after revealing the interview techniques that helped her land her dream job. Hali Jama, 22, graduated in the summer of 2024, and she didn't waste any time before diving headfirst into job interviews. Many might dread the recruitment process, but not Jama, who spent time crafting the perfect technique to help her be at her most confident and professional. It's frequently said that first impressions last a lifetime, and Jama bears that in mind at the start of every interview. Whether in person or on a video call, Jama invites small talk and opens up about herself, telling Newsweek that it's "the human thing to do" in any setting. Just because it's a job interview, it doesn't mean you have to forgo any natural conversation. "I do gauge the interviewer and their energy, and that often signifies how much small talk I want to do," Jama said. "Some people like to get straight to the point, so I try to go with the vibe." After engaging in some light small talk, Jama follows this up by discussing her past roles and involvements. She pays particular attention to any details which are especially relevant to the job she's interviewing for. Hali Jama, 22, discussing her interview technique after landing her dream job. Hali Jama, 22, discussing her interview technique after landing her dream job. @haliijama / TikTok If there are any skills she gained from those positions which would help her land the job, there's no doubt that she's going to mention them. "This is important because it highlights how you can fit into the role you are interviewing for. It's also an organized way to talk about your involvements without getting scrambled about where to start," Jama continued. Once the past is covered, she seamlessly moves onto the present day. Jama explained that she goes into detail about how she discovered the job role that was advertised, and even how she felt about applying. In October 2024, when interviewing for her dream job, Jama told the interviewer that she was "sad about the learning ending" after graduating from college. But after coming across the job role and reading the description, she realized that didn't have to be her reality at all. "A big part of market research is the consistent learning and research. So, it was a strength that I was able to mention indirectly early in the interview," Jama said. Lo and behold, she got a call several days later to congratulate her on getting the job. Much of her advice was learned from people who Jama looked up to, or who worked at companies she aspired to. As the first person in her family to graduate college and progress into the workforce, Jama sought out people who could help her. She told Newsweek that she had approximately "80 coffee chats" with people to gain as much useful information as possible. During that time, she took notes and asked an abundance of questions to make the most of their wisdom. Jama said: "Once I learned all this information, I implemented it in my internships, interviews, and networking opportunities. I always say the best way to learn is to experience it yourself or learn from those who have already done it. I chose to do both." She also found it beneficial to address her mindset. Rather than putting interviewers on a pedestal and getting anxious, she reminds herself that it's "a transactional process," and she is learning about the company just as much as they're learning about her. Amanda Fischer, an executive leadership and career coach, thinks Jama's advice is spot on, but perhaps the most important factor is her confidence. Fischer told Newsweek that being confident in your own ability is "a crucial component of succeeding" in any interview. "A lack of confidence is a huge problem and can be detrimental to even the most experienced candidates," Fischer said. "There are many ways that an individual can boost their confidence before an interview, including positively visualizing how it will go, listening to music, and moving your body directly before." Mindset is a powerful tool, as Jama suggests. Candidates shouldn't feel anxious about being perceived a certain way, as this can lead to too many questions or coming across as aggressive, Fischer says. Viewing yourself as a professional catch that a company would be lucky to have is a great way to start any interview. "Another effective mindset strategy is to treat the people you're talking with as if they're already your colleagues. Be friendly, give the benefit of the doubt to their good intentions, assume that they want to work with you, and occasionally speak about the company as if you already have the role," Fischer continued. The Online Response Jama has documented her advice on social media (@haliijama), with many of her videos going viral online. A clip explaining how she landed her dream job at 22 has amassed over 268,600 views and more than 31,300 likes on TikTok at the time of writing. She didn't intend to go viral, but Jama hopes her content will be useful to others who currently find themselves searching through the job market. Her advice is to have courage, belief, and to try no matter what. "When I think back to summer 2021, right before starting university, I could've never imagined the doors that would open for me. And yet, here I am. Not because it was easy, but because I chose to try, even when the odds were stacked against me," Jama said. Among the comments on her TikTok posts, social media users thanked Jama for the advice and praised her confidence. One comment reads: "Congrats on getting the job!" Another person wrote: "I love this pitch honestly. Ties everything about your growth and who you truly are. Thank you for the tip." While another TikTok user added: "You're the blueprint for my uni experience." Have you had a workplace dilemma?
