Photographer: Jonathan Kope Celeste Khumalo makes her GLAMOUR cover debut for September, brightening up the rapidly greying weather in Rich Mnisi. Inside, the star talks to Thobeka Phanyeko about living her best life, building her brand and securing the bag.

Celeste is strong and independent, traits she attributes to being raised by a single mother. “Few people know how hard it was for my mom, my sister and me. But I made it, regardless of what went down.”

The actress and influencer also shares her interesting take on the future of beauty. It’s an enhancing natural feature, and she credits Rihanna for having championed this bold leap. “When she releases something, suddenly everyone else is wearing the same colours and shimmers.”
