Celebrating women is at the core of what we do at InStyle. For us, style is about how you live your best life—however you define it. And during the past month, it’s been inspiration at every turn. The office has been abuzz as we’ve pulled together the special 25-page flip section to mark the return of Big Little Lies. Yes, the five returning cast—Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern, Shailene Woodley and Zoë Kravitz—are all serious A-listers, but as you’ll discover in their interviews, they’re all embracing life head-on and are powerful advocates for change, especially when it comes to equality. Their energy as they talk about shifting the role of women, empowering each other and our future is infectious. Closer to home, we celebrated 10 pioneers also being the…

ELLE FANNING IN GUCCI At 21 years old, Fanning is the youngest juror in the history of the Cannes Film Festival. But before claiming that title, the actor had taken out the crown for her superior style ability. Gowns that throw back to the golden age of glamour are the star’s red-carpet catalyst of choice, skipping Gen-Z-favoured flashes of skin for equally attention-grabbing refinement, drama and flair. The custom caped silk dress she wore to Cannes’ opening ceremony sums up her sartorial spirit: distinct in its vintage appeal, striking in its silhouette and, thanks to its waistaccentuating floral embroidery, dazzling enough to command all eyes on one of the world’s most inimitable fashion stages. SHEEN QUEENS Satin separates needn’t be saved for between the sheets. These stars have successfully roused…

SIZE MATTERS BOXY BLAZER When it comes to desk-to-dinner outwear options, the blazer reigns supreme, which means you really shouldn’t stop at one. A little androgyny goes a long way in helping tip traditional print and colour towards cool, so add an outsized cut to your repertoire. CHIC CHOICE A-LINE SKIRT Because the modern woman shouldn’t have to choose, tick both the form and function boxes with one of the season’s easy-to-move-in midiskirts. Winter calls for sturdier fabrications and leather is instantly elevating—just pile on tonal extras for a look that boasts stellar style appeal. JUST ADD LACE-UPS Think of this as a sophisticated take on the chunky sneaker trend (and an edgier alternative to dainty flats). The thicker the sole, the punchier the proportion. OLD-SCHOOL COOL CORDUROY PANTS Go…

We meet in East London on a rooftop almost as windswept as a Westeros moor. Kit Harington is wearing a jacket in an indigo linen weave and a shirt in a sturdy oxford cloth. He looks a bit like a farm boy dressed up for a day in town. The cascade of curls that was the signature of his Game of Thrones (GOT) character, Jon Snow, is tamed. For Harington, the show is over. And for us, the most epic series in the history of television has ended now, too. I cast my mind back to July 2011 and a Dolce & Gabbana event in London’s Westfield mall. It was a month after GOT had debuted on HBO. The paparazzi were swarming around the designers, Naomi Campbell, local It girls,…

“This is a moment when people are embracing the idea of organic beauty and wellness”— OLIVIA WILDE OLIVIA WILDE CLEAN COSMETICS Ten years ago, shopping for skincare at a wholefood supermarket might have seemed inconceivable, unless you were a true bohemian type. Today, it’s not only mainstream, it’s chic. Large national chains such as Mecca and Priceline have been clearing more space on their shelves for a growing number of natural brands, while niche stores such as Onda, which recently opened a concept store in Sydney and is part-owned by actor Naomi Watts, have made a thriving business out of stocking clean products. “I do think there is a movement happening,” says actor and activist Olivia Wilde, 35. Why now? Perhaps, as Wilde points out, it’s because we’ve witnessed the…

“Powered by flower and plant oils, this hair serum strengthens and smooths my ends”— KATHERINE GREEN, FASHION DIRECTOR “Perfect for my no-fuss routine, the latest launch from Kora does double duty as a lip and cheek tint”— AMBER MACKAY, EXECUTIVE EDITOR AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR “When my skin is thirsty and looking dull, a few drops of this body oil delivers a hit of hydration and a subtle bronze hue”— BETTINA TYRRELL, BEAUTY EDITOR “Medicinal, immunityboosting ingredients ashwagandha and reishi give this hydrating and soothing cream a magical, healing touch my skin loves”— LEXI HENDERSON, DEPUTY ART DIRECTOR “A primer so lightweight, yet packed with nourishing, natural ingredients that give my skin a dewy glow”— LUCY WOOD, JUNIOR FASHION EDITOR “A unique mix of milky coconut and citrus notes creates a…

WHILE IT MIGHT BE THE NORM TO WAX LYRICAL about the health of your gut—as you tuck into a probiotic-rich poke bowl for lunch—it wasn’t always this way. We have inner-beauty guru Carla Oates, aka The Beauty Chef, to thank for propelling the correlation between gut health, skin health and wellbeing into the mainstream. When this Sydney-based naturalist conjured up her best-selling health and beauty powder supplement GLOW (with naturally fermented superfoods and probiotics) in her Bondi kitchen in 2009, it was a game changer. The former beauty editor joined a conversation that picked up momentum worldwide and led to Oates creating a multi-million-dollar empire all based on gut wellness. Now, the 46-year-old mother of two and 2017 InStyle and Audi Women of Style Beauty Award winner has released her…

You began writing the TV show before you became a parent, so was it based on friends’ experiences? Did they stop talking to you? “Alarmingly no-one has cut us off. And yes, we ‘borrow’ our friends’ stories (and sometimes, personalities). I had my own boy when we started redrafting the pilot. From that point on [my character] Audrey and her journey became more of a hybrid of [co-writer] Sarah [Scheller] and my experiences. As well as a little bit of my sister, and a few of our pals! But our friends and families have been incredibly supportive and obliging. Let’s see how long that lasts!” The stellar cast is back; is there a bit of ad-libbing? “Yes and that’s always thrilling, and working with the extraordinary Celeste [Barber] is extremely…

STRANGER JEANS The third season of Stranger Things premieres on July 4, and to celebrate, Levi’s has turned its staple denim upside down by stamping it with kooky graphics of the cast. Fandom just got the fashion treatment. HOLD FAST With its clean lines and classic shape, Fendi’s iconic Peekaboo bag transcends trends, making it the ultimate friend in fashion—and life. Case in point: Italian influencer Chiara Ferragni celebrated her 32nd birthday with the timeless carryall in tow, and the sweet surprise party was caught on film for the latest episode of the label’s Me And My Peekaboo campaign. INVEST NOW GRAPHIC IMPACT Far from traditional, this season’s houndstooth-print pieces offer an eyecatching alternative to solid shades. Make your mark Once dipped in wax and stamped on important documents like…

CHANEL Go a Little Gamine There’s something unassumingly sexy about borrowing from the boys. Chanel’s generously sized J12 watch can anchor even fine feathers with a tomboy-style sensibility. TIFFANY & CO. New York Minute A legacy left behind by the Roman Empire, the numerals that punctuate Tiffany & Co.’s Atlas timepiece also pay homage to the clock that sits atop the label’s flagship Fifth Avenue boutique. VAN CLEEF & ARPELS Lucky Charm Van Cleef & Arpels’ Alhambra motif has been a feted fashion symbol for more than 50 years—and now its dainty four-leaf clover comes with interchangeable straps. CARTIER Haute Heritage More than 750 brilliant-cut diamonds pave this particular take on Cartier’s mini Baignoire watch—first introduced in 1912—but it’s the avant-garde addition of black panther spots that culminates in a…

The life an actor leads can seem a world away from the average person, and that’s before you start to factor in the job itself… I mean, have you ever been asked how you would like to look while you’re drowning? Charlotte Best has, and after some thought she leaned into “scary, horrific and painful”, using a certain scene from the James Bond film Casino Royale as reference. If you’ve seen Tidelands, the Australian-produced Netflix series that centres on modern-day sea sirens living among humans in a fictitious town called Orphelin Bay, you’ll understand exactly why this odd thought experiment (plus a few intense weeks of underwater skills training) was required. If not, the eight-part series, which is led by Best, is streaming now and marks a turning point for…

From the runways to the red carpet, the streets to the cosmetics counters, one thing is brilliantly clear: bright, bold, happy make-up is having a moment. “People are more willing to use colour than ever before. They’re not nervous about it now,” says pro Hung Vanngo, who’s worked with megastars such as Selena Gomez and Emily Ratajkowski. Perhaps, as make-up artist Mai Quynh believes, it’s a shift from the popular “no make-up make-up” look. Whatever the impetus, Vanngo says if the response to his Instagram feed is any indication, using vivid hues has surpassed trend status and become a full-on movement. Beauty brands are in on the fun, too. Cosmetic stores and pharmacy aisles are brimming with creams and pigments in offbeat shades that years ago might have lingered on…

Just five years ago, Marjan responded to A-list hairstylist Jen Atkin’s open call for aspiring assistants on Instagram. Marjan wanted the job so badly she moved from her coastal home town of Santa Barbara to Los Angeles to get it. She was Atkin’s righthand woman for two years and scored her first solo gig styling Kelly Rowland. But it was the braided look Marjan created for her second celebrity client, Kim Kardashian, that catapulted her to social-media fame. After the style went viral, “I was doing braids for her all the time,” says Marjan, who as a child offered her plaiting services on the beach for money. The hairstylist, who now collaborates with stars such as Ashley Graham, reveals the top-shelf tools she uses to create those trending looks.…

TRIED & TESTED PALETTE PERFECTION “This neat eyeshadow set from make-up artist Kevyn Aucoin houses everything I need for a casual day look (matt pinky nudes) plus some drama for when I want to dial it up at night (satin plums). But the real magic is the cream shadow stick—I wear it alone for a fun metallic lid, smear it on as a shadow primer, or finish off a look with a shimmery dab in the corner of my eyes. Talk about versatile!” — BETTINA TYRRELL, BEAUTY EDITOR COME FLY WITH ME Passport, wallet, Aēsop Departure kit…With its skin saviours and hygiene must-haves, this aviation-approved pack is a smart addition to your travel checklist. The set includes seven carry-on essentials—such as a toothpaste and mouthwash—for a more bearable long-haul. Such…

Whether you’re planning for next year or need inspiration for a break next month, here are the hottest destinations for in-the-know travellers VAIL, USA Snow Adventure Nestled in the heart of Colorado lies Vail Ski Resort, the winter playground for celebrities and world-class athletes alike. The second-biggest ski area in the United States after Aspen (just two hours to the north) Vail has its own unique charm, a trait best personified by resident ski instructor Silvia Prieler. After an impressive career taking the Australian Olympic team through their paces, Prieler now gives expert tutelage to the Kardashians, Michelle Obama and Taylor Swift, as well as novices. Yet it’s not about the name-dropping at Vail because everyone is here for one reason only: some of the greatest skiing and snowboarding anywhere…

A NIGHT TO REMEMBER Celebrating a remarkable group of Future Shapers, the 11th InStyle and Audi Women of Style awards was a glittering evening showcasing high fashion and powerful speeches. A crowd of A-listers joined the distinguished Women of Style judges, alumni, principle partner Audi and supporting sponsors Georg Jensen, Veuve Clicquot, Jean Paul Gaultier and Clearly at Sydney’s Bar M for an intimate black-tie dinner. The proceedings, hosted by the formidable Melissa Doyle, shone a spotlight on 10 trailblazing women and female partnerships from diverse industries, including design, technology, humanitarism, fashion, entertainment, agriculture and science.…

My new book Pescan: A Feel Good Cookbook, which I co-authored with best friend and chef Jacqueline King Schiller, in three words is… “Delicious, beautiful, healthy.” I wanted to write a cookbook because… “The love, enlightenment, fun and friendship we experienced in the kitchen was itching to be shared with the world.” My favourite dish from the book is… “Today, as I relax among the vineyards, I think about the Poached Salmon with French Green Beans and Strawberry Salad.” For my fiancé, in the kitchen I would… “Spoil my love [mixed martial arts fighter Adel Altamimi] with the full journey! Aussie-style French toast for breakfast; creamy mushroom lasagne with pesto for lunch; Italian-style grilled halibut with a side of steamed bok choy with lime dressing for dinner; and lemon-thyme blackberry…

LAURA BROWN: You’ve talked a lot about ambition and I love how you speak about it. Everyone has distinct ideas of it. What’s yours? REESE WITHERSPOON: Well, I think “ambition” is a fabulous word. In my mind it has a lot to do with leadership. Right now a lot of our systems are broken and I wish some key people were more ambitious. We need a new kind of leadership in the world. It’s time for people to step into these positions without being asked and cajoled. Women, in particular, are very thoughtful about things and never say, “Oh, me first.” But we have to start thinking that way a little bit more, otherwise, nothing will change—systems, politics, finance, education. Female leadership is often less about ego and more about…

LAURA BROWN: I wanted to talk about ambition because you all metabolise it differently. How does it apply to you? NICOLE KIDMAN: Gosh, I always align it with passion because if you’re passionate, then that’s the pull. I have an enormous passion for my art, and there’s a wonderful blossoming in terms of being able to produce as well. It’s just a beautiful thing to be in a position to say to someone, “There’s this great role here,” or, “I read this book, and I think we can get this produced for you.” I love having my artistic path, and then my other passion is my family. That’s probably all I need in my life. LB: That’s dedication. NK: Other people are off doing things like having a girls’ weekend.…

NEW AGAIN Complete reinvention is overrated, especially when Fendi’s playfully printed square-toe heels and Oroton’s elevated canvas tote make such a stellar case for refreshing the elements we already know. FLYING THE FLAG With Bastille Day on the approach, what better time to work a little French-inspired fashion into your wardrobe? A chic take on the varsity sweatshirt telegraphs that effortless je ne sais quoi. GOOD ANGLES The newest slant on fashion staples? Sneakers swiped with concave stripes, plus oversized frames that sit right between square and cat-eye shapes. Celine’s updated take on the classics ensures you will never blend in again. SHARK TANK Jaws was a bold creative endeavour for its time, as is Calvin Klein’s cotton tank top, which juxtaposes the cult film’s artwork against the label’s logo…

Standing in a room surrounded by an astounding array of treasures is a little surreal. Such calibre is usually admired only from afar adorning royalty and serious A-list celebrities. But how does it make you feel? That’s the question posed when the air sparkles with Van Cleef & Arpels high jewellery. Every confection more spectacular than the last, the utter glamour of being close to jewellery of this stature, my response is a little coy, “But what do you mean, how does it make me feel?” I look into the centre of a gemstone—first, a pear-shaped pendant dangling from a drop earring, then my eyes dart to the cushion-cut pièce de résistance that sits atop a ring—and ask myself the question: how do I feel? It’s an emotional experience befitting…

1 FINE LINES WHY IT HAPPENS Not to be confused with wrinkles, these shallow creases are commonly thought to be the first sign of ageing. While fine lines can be a result of the skin’s foundation weakening and not bouncing back as it once would—this typically begins in your thirties—they are very often the result of a dehydrated complexion and can fade with a good dose of H2O. IN-SALON FIX: LED Light Therapy Adequately hydrated skin is plump and radiant. For a parched complexion, a professional treatment option is Omnilux Revive, an LED red-light therapy that can reach the deepest layers of the skin to stimulate cellular activity and boost natural hydration. This treatment is pain-free (eye goggles are worn as the bright light can be confronting) and is often…

“Sometimes it’s about spending a day pampering myself, getting a facial and my hair done and other times it translates to eating copious amounts of Indian food on my couch,” she says. Staying attuned to her body helps her take an equally intuitive approach to nutrition. “I had a big meal last night, so this morning I did a bit of intermittent fasting and didn’t eat until 2pm,” she says. “But certain mornings I wake up and have to eat right away.” Ratajkowski admits her fitness routine “has really changed as I’ve gotten older” and now centres on workouts that go easy on her joints. “It’s not about getting my heart rate up, it’s about trying to keep my muscles moving,” she says. SUIT UP Ratajkowski’s clothing line, Inamorata, features…

Here at the InStyle office, we’ve eagerly anticipated the encore season of Big Little Lies—the characters complex, the issues real and the acting A-grade. So we jumped at the chance to create for you our first ever flip cover with Nicole Kidman on the front as well as limited-edition covers on the flip side with Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern, Shailene Woodley and Zoë Kravitz. What does it take to get the Monterey Five together for InStyle? Two action-packed days, two dreamy mid-century modern Californian homes and a crew of 50-plus people to keep to a tight schedule. While the cast enjoyed dressing up and channelling ’60s glamour—beautiful inspiration for your new-season wardrobe—in their interviews with US InStyle editor Laura Brown, they talk candidly about ambition, love and friendship. NICOLE’S PICKS…

LAURA BROWN: Would you characterise yourself as an ambitious person? SHAILENE WOODLEY: The word “ambition” has so many negative connotations for me because I feel like it can be cruel in a lot of ways. I think of people using other people. Often, the word “ambition” can easily be “get out of my way because I have a goal, and anything standing in front of me is going to be completely eradicated.” But every word has a polarity and we can all define things differently. People always talk about ambition in terms of dreams and goals and success, but ambition can also be humble. LB: Yeah, you can be ambitious to love someone, to effect a change. So how driven were you when you were young? SW: I’ve always been…
