Authenticity, individuality, and inspiring others to find their identity are core to some Gen Z and Millennials. These traits are especially true for their 'fits, as they believe in making a bold statement and a positive impact. Their style deserves to be showcased on social media, and the realme 12 Pro+ 5G is the stylish new tool to bring fashion-forward ideas to life and share these with the world.

----------------------------------------------------

real talk: the realme 12 Pro+ 5G is a stylish piece that can up one’s fashion game

----------------------------------------------------

Here are some ways to stand out online and in the world:

Put together high-quality looks through minimalist pieces

Minimalism in fashion remains timeless because it opposes flashy yet temporary trends. Simple pieces in neutral colors will remain in style season after season, so it’s no surprise that this aesthetic is still current. Looking good doesn’t necessarily mean having to wear over-the-top pieces.

To make sure minimalist ‘fits are showcased properly, the quality, material, and visual impact of the entire look must be captured with precise detail. The realme 12 Pro+ 5G and its three distinct cameras provide the perfect solution to this. The high-quality photos produced by the 64MP Periscope Portrait Lens allows quiet pieces to stand out and shine. The realme 12 Pro+ 5G currently has one of the highest resolution telephoto lenses on any smartphone camera in its segment, with up to 3x Telephoto Zoom and 6x In-Sensor Zoom for up close and personal portrait shots. Additionally, the realme 12 Pro+ 5G showcases the ultimate in versatility with its other two cameras. It has a 50MP Sony IMX890 Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) lens that allows users to take photos on the move, with no blurs and other interference, while its 8MP 112° Wide Angle camera is perfect for capturing backgrounds in OOTDs.

Exude sophistication through chic and luxurious outfits

A new trend that popped up recently is the quiet luxury aesthetic. This style champions understated elegance, refined taste, and high-quality pieces made with sumptuous materials. Quiet luxury, a style favored by those who favor traditional looks, is often associated with muted colors, rich materials like cashmere, and craftsmanship.

Channel the traditional look with a smartphone that’s not just stylish but looks upscale. The realme 12 Pro+ 5G accentuates chic, classic outfits with its Luxury Watch Design. Ollivier Savéo, an international luxury watch design master who has worked with labels like Rolex, Roger Dubuis, Piaget, Breitling, and Quentin, co-designed realme’s latest smartphone. He infused elements from luxury watchmaking into the smartphone, like a classic polished sunburst dial, a golden fluted bezel, and a 3D jubilee bracelet. The back has a silky, high-end vegan leather finish.

Stand out with an urban and sophisticated ‘fit

While understated elegance has its appeal, some choose to stand out and dazzle. Combining streetwear with luxury pieces makes a bold declaration of style with its contrast.

Highlight this eye-catching look with the realme 12 Pro+ 5G’s Master Portrait Filters. Claudio Miranda, an Oscar Award winner, took inspiration from Hollywood films to create exclusive filters that suit different ‘fits. Users can choose from any of the following available filters:

●     Journey: Inspired by the hit movie “Life of Pi” with yellow tones and high contrast colors to create a “dream-like” tone

●    Memory: Inspired by the film “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” with cold tones and low-saturation colors for a calm and capable vibe

●     Maverick: Inspired by the movie “Top Gun: Maverick” with yellow-green tones, high contrast, and high noise to create a retro film-like vibe

Gen Z and millennials’ impact on the fashion industry extends beyond mere trends; it's a cultural movement that champions individuality and inclusivity. With their innovative style approach and widespread influence across different platforms, these groups shape the fashion landscape in many ways.

The cutting-edge technology and features of the realme 12 Pro+ 5G empower Gen Z and Millennials to express their fashion-forward ideas with confidence and share them with a global audience.

‘Senorita 89’ Unmasks the Dark Secrets of Beauty Pageants in 1980s Mexico

Tweet

In the thrilling telenovela’s second season, the 90s are in full swing, and the search for a new Miss Mexico is dirtier than ever.

Following a dramatic first season, the glamorous Mexican telenovela Senorita 89 is back to deliver more dark secrets from the world of beauty pageants. After Isabel (Natasha Dupeyrón) was crowned queen in Season 1 and Concepcion’s (Ilse Salas) luxurious La Encantada empire fell apart, the story shifts into the 90s and follows the battle between Mexico's two main television networks to crown the next queen. But while Isabel does everything to hold on to the crown, the arrival of a new queen threatens to undo her hard work and take everything from her.

Season 2 introduces new series regulars, including Dolores Heredia (El Galán) as La Madrina, mother of the cartels, and Yoshira Escárrega (Toda La Sangre) as Maribel Montaño, a.k.a. La Santa.

Senorita 89’s riveting drama continues to be an eye-opening watch for political thriller fans everywhere. It maintains its focus on addressing relevant issues such as misogyny, beauty stereotypes, and the objectification of women while showing the power of female solidarity, the weight of resilience, and the importance of challenging the status quo.

Talking about what Season 2 will bring, series showrunner and creator Lucia Puenzo told Deadline: “After the incredible reception of the first season, both in Mexico and the rest of the world, it was an immense joy to receive the confirmation that there would be a second season.”

Puenzo adds, “In the second season, our protagonists have understood that nothing is achieved by asking for forgiveness or permission. They are ready to set fire to all limits, borders, privileges… and break once and for, all the stereotypes that say that only princesses have the right to exist.”

Uncover what lies under the glitz and glamour of pageantry with Senorita 89 Season 2, streaming on Lionsgate Play this March 15.

Sun Life Philippines and Sun Life Financial-Philippines Foundation, Inc., in line with their commitment to help Filipinos live healthier lives, recently unveiled a newly refurbished basketball court in the Legacy of Light Village, a resettlement model community that the Sun Life Foundation helped develop in Calauan, Laguna. This is part of the “Hoops + Health” program, a PHP 40 million partnership with Beyond Sport, a global sport-for-social-change organization. The program aims to leverage the power of basketball to encourage physical activity and promote healthier lifestyles by renovating basketball courts across Asia.

The inauguration event, held on February 28, 2024, at the Legacy of Light Village basketball court in Calauan, was attended by Sun Life executives, Sun Life brand ambassador Donny Pangilinan, Beyond Sport representatives, residents of Calauan, and national media.

The basketball court has been transformed with fresh coats of paint, upgraded facilities, and new, state-of-the-art basketball hoops. More than just a physical renovation, this initiative represents Sun Life’s commitment to fostering healthier communities by improving access to physical activity. The revitalized court provides a safe and accessible space for individuals of all ages to engage in basketball and other physical activities, promoting overall health and well-being.

In addition, the “Hoops + Health” program will deliver an educational program for local coaches to learn about nutrition, physical activity, and protecting mental well-being. These coaches will then develop a basketball program to engage the youth in the community.

This initiative builds on Sun Life’s 3x3 Charity Challenge, held in August 2023, which raised funds for capacity-building support, program development grants, and infrastructure revitalization projects, including the basketball court renovation in Calauan.

“At Sun Life, we are dedicated to empowering individuals and communities to achieve holistic health and wellness,” said Carla Gonzalez-Chong, Chief Client Experience and Marketing Officer of Sun Life Philippines. “By partnering with Beyond Sport, we are harnessing the unique power of basketball to not only encourage physical activity but also to foster community spirit and contribute to a healthier future for Filipinos.”

“Sport serves as a powerful instrument for positive social change,” added Beyond Sport Executive Director, Fred Turner. “We are proud to partner with Sun Life on this impactful project, as we transformed this basketball court into a vibrant space where the youth can develop their skills and lead healthier lives.”

By making physical activity enjoyable and readily available, Sun Life aims to serve as a catalyst for adopting healthier lifestyle choices, to potentially impact the generations to come.
