With an impressive accumulation of credits under her belt, Australian actor Teresa Palmer’s star has been on a steady ascent for the better part of a decade. Her latest role? Michelle Payne, the first female jockey to win the Melbourne Cup, in Rachel Griffiths’s Ride Like a Girl. On the red carpet, the ever-polished Palmer opts for a steady rotation of Dior, Prada and Chanel (“Chanel, I mean, it’s a no-brainer,” she quips). Her off-duty style, meanwhile, more closely aligns with her bohemian-inspired lifestyle, courtesy of brands such as Zimmermann, Free People and Dôen. Everything is approved by her friend and stylist, Annabelle Harron. “She’s been my best friend since I was 15, from little old Adelaide,” Palmer says. “Now she’s one of the top stylists in the industry, styling…

1. Say no to events you have no intention of attending from the outset instead of cancelling down the track. 2. Give your friends a heads-up if you’re busy. If you leave them to wonder what’s going on, their negativity bias will likely kick in and they’ll assume they’ve done something wrong. 3. Use emojis to simulate the facial expressions lost because you’re not interacting in person. 4. If you do need to cancel plans, be honest and propose a replacement date so your friend knows you do really want to see them. 5. Practise your conflict resolution skills. If your friend is regularly cancelling or showing up late, try having a face-to-face conversation and calmly explaining how this makes you feel.…

“I worked with Chloë Sevigny recently [in The Act] and was blown away by her — she has a true eye for style and is always on point. I also love Tessa Thompson, Alexa Chung and Rihanna. Historically, I look to the style of women like Audrey Hepburn and Françoise Hardy. They’re classic.” “Being on the red carpet still feels like a Cinderella moment to me. My stylist, Thomas Christos [Kikis], and I always want to have fun and raise the bar. We did a lot of suiting for a while — I feel like suits aged me up a bit. Now I’m drawn to whatever makes me feel empowered. I’m loving Jacquemus, Rosie Assoulin and Ganni at the moment.” “My career bucket list is huge! I recently got to…

IT’S BACK! The Turnlock, every Mimco lover’s favourite icon, has been reimagined across new bag and jewellery collections in a way that is immediately timeless, yet so 2019. After many evolutions and a slight hiatus, the Turnlock — which was launched in 2008 — is back right in time for revival season. The new range sees the Turnlock reinstated on leather bags, wallets and pouches, as well as in a 925 sterling silver jewellery collection, which senior designer Sophie says offers “our customer a lasting signature piece, with a beautiful nod to our heritage”. There are new shapes, styles and shades for every kind of accessories wearer to fall in love with (again). The Melbourne-based brand has also released a vegan-friendly collection of non-leather bags, crafted from cotton canvas with…

In her unfinished novel Sanditon (which is being adapted into a TV series this year), Jane Austen wrote, “No person … could be really in a state of secure and permanent Health without spending at least six weeks by the Sea every year.” However, in today’s workaholic culture, the idea of taking even a fortnight off to recharge seems positively daring, and there are plenty who pride themselves on being constantly at their desk. But it is to be hoped that you are reading this from your sunlounger. According to research by Expedia, Australia is the third-worst country for taking annual leave, behind Japan and Italy. The study showed that workers are taking less and less annual leave each year, with one in six failing to take a day off…

There’s a certain anxiety that comes with dressing for a big event. Black tie, cocktail, ambiguous wedding themes … picking an outfit that fits within the confines of the dress code while also being, you know, stylish, can become a laborious and stress-inducing enterprise. But even the most seasoned dresser, one who pulls out a perfectly on-point ensemble for any given occasion with apparent ease, would be overcome with panic ahead of Royal Ascot. A tradition dating back to the 1700s, the five-day racing affair is the crème de la crème of British social events, attracting the entire royal family, as well as a heavy dose of celebrities and top models. The dress code is among the most rigorous of any event globally, with the style guide clocking in at…

WHAT IF YOU ESCHEWED the notion of ownership entirely? When you say that all you have are the clothes on your back, it usually means you have zero, zippo, zilch. What if you did that with intention? What if you bagged buying clothes and rented them instead? Renting clothes for men is not radical. My high-school boyfriend rented his tux for the prom. My husband rented his morning suit for our wedding. But women? For anything other than for a costume party? Unthinkable. Why? Because the fashion industry has always wanted women to buy. How else could they keep the cycle going and the profits rolling in? Then, along came the sharing economy, the idea that we don’t have to possess something to consume it. We share cars, music, homes.…

Celeste Barber never set out to be a social media star. “I just wanted to make people laugh,” she says of her Instagram series,#Celeste ChallengeAccepted, in which she creates side-by-side parodies of smouldering celebrity photos. Six million followers later, Barber is an internet phenom with an A-list following. BAZAAR chats with the 37-year-old about fashion, Hollywood and self-image. HARPER’S BAZAAR: We just saw you mimic a photo that was in US Harper’s BAZAAR! It was Hailey Bieber grocery shopping in a swimsuit with slippers. It’s sort of a compliment to get the Celeste Barber treatment now. CELESTE BARBER: That photo of Hailey was scary to do. I usually don’t ask permission. HB: Do celebrities or models ever get upset when you recreate their pics? CB: The opposite. I get big-name…

During her recent one-woman show, Judith Lucy vs. Men, the Australian comedian made a pithy observation about what the future looks like for women over 50. “It’s like you have two options,” she said. “You can look old — or weird.” Funny, yes, but it struck a chord with me. How do I want to age? Will it be gracefully, or will I go down fighting, forever resisting grey hair and gravity? My friends and I discuss it often, what options we have and how we want to look as we head into the next chapter of our lives. I am in my late fifties; I have friends in their sixties and seventies. We are ageing pretty well: we’ve worn sunblock all our lives, we colour our hair, watch our…

Before becoming the woman behind the works in some of the coolest new venue openings and most highly foot-trafficked public spaces, Sydney artist Vicki Lee had an awakening of sorts in the bathroom at the commercial litigation firm where she worked. Having spent five years studying law and just 10 months practising it, she was sitting alone in a cubicle just to escape the minutiae of her day when she realised: “I was bored out of my fucking brain. I went straight to my desk and resigned.” Lee had always been creative, but says pursuing a white collar profession was “a Korean immigrant family thing. It’s not like my parents forced me to do anything, but we all take on things growing up about what you think you should be…

Carlotta Moye She has been a working photographer for 25 years, but Moye began her career as a fashion editor. “I booked and styled Kate Moss for her first paid modelling gig. It was for Dolly and we tried a cover shoot on her, but she got rejected. Then two years later she was the face of CK!” On page 140, she shoots beach beauty to accompany our A–Z of wellness — a guide to what’s new and surprising in health, fitness and beauty. I take care of myself by … “travelling to Thailand once a year to do an ultra cleanse. You don’t eat for seven days and spend the time doing everything good for your mind, body and soul.” Australian style is special because … “we make it…

STYLE My style is BOHEMIAN WITH AN EDGE, which is a nice contrast to my everyday riding uniform. I love what Maria Grazia Chiuri is doing with Dior. Her vision is so specific and STRONG YET FEMININE. Ralph Lauren has always been a favourite of mine for its beautiful heritage pieces and staple boots and blazers. I also love THE ROW.They seem to capture everything I’d ever want to wear while making it look effortless and chic simultaneously. My MOST-WORN PIECES are some of my mom [Patti Scialfa]’s vintage jackets, my ripped jean shorts, which I wear constantly, and simple black or white tank tops. On my A/W 2019 wish list is a LEATHER JACKET I can wear over dresses or with jeans. Because I’m constantly COMPETING AND RIDING, I…

FINESSING TOUCHES Delicate trinkets add a new dimension to race-day attire. Alighieri’s thin gold chains offer a chic, not-so-boho spin on the anklet, while PetiteGrand’s tasteful hair adornments make for a subversive approach to trackside headwear. alighieri.com; petitegrand.com SEEING G’S Fashion may be moving away from its years-long logomania, but even the most diehard minimalist would buckle at the sight of Gucci’s woven toppers. gucci.com ALL TIED UP Street style stars such as Caroline Daur made accessorising with headscarfs feel strangely casual outside the shows last season. A perfect fix for those in a last-minute pre-Flemington panic — and a little Jackie O, no? SHADE ROOM Celine’s show was a major talking point of the A/W 2019 season.The aspect you may have missed among the thigh-high boots and tweed blazers?…

IT STARTED WITH TAORMINA: flicking through flirty fit-and-flare Dolce & Gabbana dresses printed with plump Sicilian lemons, set against the Ionian Sea. Then double-tapping on berets by the Eiffel Tower, Breton stripes on the Bateaux Mouches, scarlet lips and carefully dishevelled hair. A few more scrolls and I find floor-sweeping gowns in Fez, lighter-than-air linen in terracotta hues, weighed down with swollen bangles. Picture-perfect ensembles, artfully curated and colour-matched to the iconic landscapes they sit in front of. Away from Instagram, I started noticing it more and more in my travels IRL: among the general clamour of baseball-capped tourists, a more glamorous, considered class of traveller. Women, mostly, with either other girlfriends or a partner, ever-so-slightly conspicuously overdressed — albeit chic — and focusing more of their attention on the…

Do you consider yourself a naturally stylish person, or is it something you had to learn? It takes time to figure out what suits you and what doesn’t, but I have a good sense of it now. I’m quite instinctive and try not to overthink it. Like every woman, I try to invest in timeless pieces, but I also develop a crush on pieces and need to have them. You tend to stick to a few key silhouettes. How did you find the shapes that flatter you most? I really like design and architecture, and I think that’s reflected in the way I dress. The notion of proportion in my outfits is really important to me — I will always balance out a look. You seem to always be wearing…

Vida Glow founder Anna Lahey would never call herself an influencer, even though she has been dubbed the ‘Queen of Collagen’ thanks to the success of her marine collagen range. She wouldn’t even call herself an entrepreneur, balking as though it’s some kind of made-up, Kardashian-esque title. “I hate that word. I just cringe.” So what would she call herself? “I think I am a wife, a mother and I have a pretty amazing business that [my husband, Kieran, and I] have been able to build through the chaos of having two under two and a third on the way. I can’t really give myself [props]. It’s taken me five years to write ‘founder of Vida Glow’ on my Instagram bio.” In the world of big beauty business — Vida…

THE MOST STYLISH women in the world are often those who eschew trends entirely. And there’s a second irony: for all the millions of pieces designed, produced, distributed and advertised every single season, it’s still really difficult to find the good quality, non-trend-driven basics that make those aforementioned women look so stylish. A great T-shirt, a perfectly fitting pair of jeans, an oversized cashmere jumper that hangs just so — these things are all famously elusive, even to those in the know. These two facts go some way to explaining the runaway success of the New York-based label Khaite, which has in three short years become both an A-list sensation and the bread and butter of many a fashion editor’s wardrobe. “I started this brand because I couldn’t find the…

A IS FOR ALL-COLLAGEN EVERYTHING Some inner health fads fade as quickly as they appear, but our collective obsession with collagen shows no sign of abating just yet. The plumping, radiance-boosting protein is responsible for keeping our hair, skin and nails in top form. As we age, our collagen stores deplete, hence the collective gorging on the substance in an effort to keep us looking youthful via collagen skincare, supplements, even collagen-rich snack bars. Try Vida Glow’s Original Marine Collagen, which can be stirred into any drink, or snack on a suspiciously delicious Beauty Bites White Choc Raspberry bar (packed with collagen and pro- and prebiotics) next time that 3pm craving hits. Vida Glow Marine Collagen Original Loose Powder, $130 (270g); Beauty Bites White Choc Raspberry, $49 for 14 bars.…

IT’S AS UBIQUITOUS as kale but infinitely more intriguing. It boasts a legion of celebrity fans and is sold everywhere from servos to Selfridges. If there was ever a mascot for the modern-day wellness crusade, it would be cannabidiol, colloquially called CBD. “CBD is not a trend, it’s a global movement,” says Larissa Thomson, co-founder of Onda Beauty. Well, almost. CBD is a chemical in the cannabis plant, not to be confused with its famous (er, infamous) cousin tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a psychoactive chemical that creates a high. Some users who ingest CBD say they experience an overall sense of calm and relaxation (it’s become popular for anxiety management), but CBD is either free of or contains only trace amounts of THC, which allows it to sit in a legal grey…

On a blustery winter’s day in downtown Sydney, Danielle Macdonald slips into the studio with no fanfare and no entourage, tugging on her oversized purple sweater and smiling shyly at the BAZAAR crew, who are setting up for her shoot. The 28-year-old Australian-born, LA-based actor is a breakthrough star, with lead roles in films including Patti Cake$, Dumplin’ and the Netflix thriller Bird Box. She has flown in to attend Sydney Film Festival to promote her latest film, the Academy Award-nominated drama Skin, in which she stars alongside Jamie Bell. Based on a true story, the dark and topical tale concerns white nationalism in America. Macdonald plays Julie, the wife of neo-Nazi Bryon Widner, both of whom eventually leave the violent, hate-filled cult despite the danger surrounding them. “[Julie’s] story…

My arrival into Byron Bay is greeted with uncharacteristically gloomy weather: heavy clouds loom and bouts of angry rain threaten to literally dampen the mood, but somehow Byron manages to look as serene while overcast and soggy as it does under a clear blue sky. As the car winds through Bayshore Drive, we pass the Arts & Industry Estate, a creative hot-pot of boutique stores, trendy cafes and wellness spaces, which is bustling despite the gloom. But we’re headed away from the throngs, towards Belongil Beach, just north of the main township, and the luxe bolthole nestled there, Elements of Byron (just Elements for short). Checking in, it’s instantly apparent that development director Jeremy Holmes’s inspiration was drawn from the 20 hectares the hotel sits on. An ochre-coloured beam swoops…

IT’S A COUPLE of hours before I’m due to meet a friend I haven’t seen in months. We scheduled this dinner two weeks in advance after days of texting back and forth, but, alas, she has suddenly come down with a cold. I want to be sympathetic or, at the very least, surprised when her message — punctuated with an exclamation mark and heavy on the crying-face emojis — comes through. It’s not the end of the world, and maybe she really is sick, but it’s the regularity of this scenario, and the increasing inability of many friends to commit to plans in the first place, that leaves me feeling deflated and rejected. It’s not hard to see why young people today have been dubbed the unreliable generation. I love…

SOME MIGHT RATE A MODEL’S SUCCESS by the number of Instagram followers they have. For others, different metrics hold more weight, such as how many shows they walked in a season, or their industry ranking. The last two are persuasive when it comes to 18-year-old Brit Giselle Norman, who burst into the fashion set’s consciousness this season when she stomped down J.W.Anderson’s runway in London wearing a cropped black wig and a heavy gold chain. Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dior, Valentino and dozens of others followed, each falling head over heels with her commanding bone structure, playful wit and trademark — totally symmetrical — beauty spots. In all, she walked 38 shows, earning her the number-one position on Models.com’s A/W 2019 Runway list. A star is born.…

“Doing a fitting reminds me of being a little girl in Sydney. My mother would sew all of my dresses, and she would stand me up on the table to make sure the hem was just so.” No dress has ever changed my life. Marrying my husband, Keith [Urban], having children — those things changed my life. Nevertheless, the fairytale aspect of wearing couture is a glorious sidebar to my career. Golly, it is still lovely to me. I always say, “I’m going to the ball” when I’m walking a red carpet, because it really does have that Cinderella quality. When you’re nominated for an award, you’re very emotionally invested. But last year after the Emmys and the Golden Globes [at each of which Kidman took home an award for…

WHEN Alexandra and Genevieve Smart were growing up, it wasn’t obvious the sisters would wind up together in fashion, as the duo behind the Ginger & Smart label. Theirs was a bookish family — their parents were in publishing — and Genevieve remembers scanning the shelves of the family home with the scent of books in the air. But there was one clue: their mother collected hundreds of thrifted silk blouses “and would drag us to vintage stores and second-hand shops,” she says. “[Mum] would make us touch velvet to show how sensual it feels. Other kids were wearing ’80s polyester dresses and we wouldn’t be loving it at the time, but now I appreciate that introduction to how cashmere feels and how silk breathes. Then we’d get back home…

Let’s take it from the top: it was Gabrielle Chanel who said that, when wearing a hat, “one appears to one’s best advantage”. Anthropologically speaking, hats draw attention to heads — both others’ and our own — and, as went the popular wisdom of the 19th century, indicate a person with power. And is there any woman in the history of fashion who’s wielded more power than Madame Coco? Little wonder, then, that the house of Chanel takes its toppers very seriously. Established in 1936 by French milliner Auguste Michel, the brand’s in-house millinery line, Maison Michel, is among the most highly respected hatmakers in ready-to-wear and haute couture. Operating autonomously, the maison caters to several high fashion houses. In 1997, the couture chapelier (that’s French for high-end hatmaker) was…

THE SUN is fighting through charcoal clouds on a winter’s morning near Camden, on Sydney’s outskirts, and the rolling green pastures surrounding the 19th-century property Camelot are sopping with a heavy dew. Every oil, fan and gas heater the BAZAAR crew can get its hands on has been employed in a bid to warm the three-storey stately pile and its 55 cavernous rooms, but we’re wasting our time trying. Teresa Palmer pulls her breastfeeding shawl tighter around her five-week-old daughter, Poet Lake, far too cold to feign interest in today’s fairytale surrounds. Romantic turrets, grand staircases and stables complete with chandeliers fail to impress when one is borderline hypothermic. “She’s so easy,” Palmer says with a shiver, stroking Poet’s tiny head. “An absolute dreamboat.” Palmer’s other children, sons Bodhi, five,…

Planning your packing list for this summer’s getaway? Definitely add Dior’s fabulous headwraps, which are made of the same wax-print fabric used in the clothes. “Maria Grazia [Chiuri] wanted a headwrap every girl could wear, regardless of whether she’s European, African or Asian,” Dior milliner Stephen Jones says. “The clever thing is there’s a wire inside the bandana that holds it in position … and it’s machine washable. For a Dior product, that’s a first!”…

1 For the best in subtle scenting, give strands a few spritzes of a hair perfume. JO MALONE LONDON HAIR MIST IN WILD BLUEBELL, AND ENGLISH PEAR & FREESIA, $75 EACH, are sweet but not overpowering, for just the right amount of fragrance when you happen to catch a whiff. 2 DAVINES SOLU SEA SALT SCRUB CLEANSER, $45, is an exfoliating paste that refreshes; imagine all that styling product, grime and excess oil wiped away, helping your scalp to breathe again. 3 Sisley Paris is a favourite for skincare, but its haircare is the real deal too. Try HAIR RITUEL BY SISLEY PRE-SHAMPOO PURIFYING MASK, $120, which uses white clay to draw out excess sebum prior to washing, ensuring your regular shampoo works better than ever. 4 RAHUA SMOOTHING HAIR…

While we wait for CBD to be reviewed by the TGA, we’re left with an alternative — and a commendable one at that. Hemp seed, also in the cannabis family tree (and also as yet unassessed for efficacy or safety by the TGA), has become an increasingly popular ingredient in skincare, as oil, and supplements. “Hemp is in itself an amazing oil,” explains Chrissy Boddy, founder of Byron-based natural skincare brand Dollar Hippy Club. “It’s full of omega-3 and -6 essential fatty acids, which our bodies can’t produce. It repairs and reverses skin damage, and also protects the skin as well as promotes the regeneration of cells.” Hemp seed powder, which can be mixed into smoothies and shakes, is packed with anti-inflammatory minerals, antioxidants and fibre (which is particularly good…

“Makeup should never be used as a mask, only to enhance what is there,” says Lucia Pica, the Italian-born virtuoso whose modern take on beauty and talent for devising natural, fresh-faced looks has made her one of the world’s most influential makeup artists. As Chanel’s global creative makeup and colour designer, she is responsible for developing up to eight new collections each year, as well as playing a part in the conception of the brand’s beauty campaigns and runway looks. Pica splits her time between homes in east London and Paris, where she opens the door to her light-filled apartment in the 6th arrondissement sporting her signature look: velvety red lips, a glossy fringe and smoky eyeliner. Dressed in vintage Levi’s 501 jeans, a Margaret Howell cashmere sweater, Chanel pumps…
