InTrends Drink the Wine The moody older sister of the tomato girl, there's no wrong way to wear the hue of the season – it's drama, power and cool all wrapped into one. Duty Calls This season saw high fashion take its cues from the proletariat. Functional fabrics and practical silhouettes on the runways mean that this year, workwear is on duty. Wild Wild West Make like this isn't your first rodeo in pieces plucked straight from the saloon. Opt for cowboy-inspired denim and luxe accessories in leather and suede. When Bey says giddy up… Gloss Over Latex meets leather in pieces born to shine. High gloss delivers high-octane glamour for a woman not to be messed with. High Rise Get head and shoulders above the rest. Casual or corporate,…

InFashion First came the sheet masks, infused with snail goop, bee venom and donkey milk. Then came the popstars, exploding onto the world stage (and the internet) with synchronised dancing and coordinating outfits. Not to mention the film and television moments that had us holding our breath (Parasite, Squid Game, and if you haven't seen Love After Divorce yet, may we recommend?). The phenomenon of Korean pop culture, which has spread since the ‘90s, is commonly referred to as hallyu – a Chinese term that means, literally, ‘Korean wave’ – and next, it has its sights set on fashion. K-pop idols front brands as part of lucrative contracts for everyone from Bottega Veneta to Calvin Klein. Following in the footsteps of Chanel and Dior, Louis Vuitton sent its pre-fall womenswear…

JUSTINE: I've always been obsessed with your writing; you've played such an interesting role in the culture for a significant amount of time now. It feels like you're always writing about the thing that everyone else catches on to a little later. NANCY JO: Oh, it's the bane and curse of my entire existence, right there; I'm like a weathervane. But thank you for seeing what I'm doing and appreciating it! In recent years, my focus sort of shifted from girls to young women, and then just women and dating apps. Because there's this mythology that these are fun and they're making everybody happy. JUSTINE: The idea that, well, everyone is on them. NANCY JO: Well, everyone is on them, but that's because the corporations that put them out there…

“Having a sense of wonder, a sense of humour, and a sense of curiosity – these are my tonic. They keep you young, childlike, open to new people and things, ready for another adventure. I never want to be an old fuddyduddy; I hold the self-proclaimed record for being the World's Oldest Living Teenager and I intend to keep it that way.” Iris Apfel, 102 “The best thing about being over 70 is being over 70. Certainly when I was 45, the idea of being 70 was like, ‘Arghhh!’ But you only have two options in life: Die young or get old. There is nothing else. The idea of dying young when you're 25 is kind of cool – a bit romantic, like James Dean. But then you realise that…

Ask a bookseller Perhaps the greatest untapped resource for a personal recommendation, people who work at bookstores are passionate about books and will know what direction to point you in based on other books you've loved. Find your favourite publisher imprint An imprint refers to a brand or trade name under which a publisher releases a specific category or line of books. Similar to having a favourite director (say, Sofia Coppola) or production company (for example, A24), finding out who's publishing your favourite books and following their upcoming releases is a great way to find new read-alikes. Read Literary Hub's Book Marks Lit Hub is a book lover's best friend, posting profiles, interviews, essays, excerpts, podcasts and all the news and nuance of books. The site's review page, Book Marks,…

Next time you're at a dinner party and the conversation starts to lull, try dropping in the phrase “It's not about the pasta” or “Lucy Lucy Apple Juicy”. Sit back and watch as the table parts like the Red Sea, dramatically dividing into two camps. One will launch into animated discussions about yachties, Mormon housewives and Hamptons share houses, connecting over tidbits that occupy a special compartment in their brains, the cerebral equivalent of a second stomach for dessert. The other group will remain silent and a little miffed; they might project an air of superiority, but they're intrigued by this foreign lexicon. There are two types of people in the world: those who speak Bravo, and those who don't. The former know that the American television network, which produces…

Best ensemble performance The very camp cast of The Real Housewives of New York at Sonja Morgan's dog funeral (“Requiem for a Poodle”) in Season 6. Best action sequence Teresa Giudice flipping a fully loaded dinner table in a now legendary episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey (2009). Breakout talent The Traitors, a thrilling parlour game set in a Scottish castle. It's an exquisite throwback to the original reality game shows, and a runaway hit. Best meme See Teresa Giudice. Also Tyra Banks's rageful “I was rooting for you, we were all rooting for you. How dare you?!” in America's Next Top Model (2005). Biggest ‘bigger than TV’ moment The outing of transgender contestant Zeke Smith on Survivor, and host Jeff Probst's unbelievable live, riffed response. Best production…

InStyle: How are you going? Barbie Ferreira: I'm great. How are you? InStyle: Good, thank you. Are you in Los Angeles? Barbie: Yes, yes I am. I grew up in New York and New Jersey, and then I moved to LA when I started acting. I love it. I have a lot of animals, and I just really stay at home, in a robe, walking around my garden. It's very much my fantasy of what my life would be. InStyle: How many animals do you have? Barbie: I have three, which is far too many for one woman. I have two cats and a dog, and then I have my little backyard animals just kind of crawling around. InStyle: Do you think it was because you grew up in an…

Inspired by a GROUNDBREAKING study by psychologist Arthur Aron that aimed to speed up INTIMACY between strangers through a SPECIFIC series of probing QUESTIONS. Given the choice of anyone in the world, who would be your dream dinner guest? Hayao Miyazaki. Do you ever draft text messages in your Notes app before sending? No, I never have. I probably should. What would constitute a perfect day for you? Sleeping in a hammock, in a field, in the Italian countryside. When did you last sing to yourself? I sing every day. If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or the body of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you choose? The mind of a 30-year-old. Do…

They were once considered candy for creatives: Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett specialised in acidfried music and lyrics, and The Beatles sang about LSD in “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”. But psychedelics and hallucinogens, a class of psychoactive drugs that alter perception, mood and cognitive processes, are no longer a sign of counterculture in motion. Since 2016, we've heard stories of Silicon Valley staffers microdosing at their desks, of mums on mushrooms, of trippy, Goop-y wellness retreats. Jaden Smith says psychedelics make him more empathetic; Miley Cyrus heals with ayahuasca. Last year, Australia became the first country in the world to allow psychedelics in medical treatments, 50 years after they were banned. Now, MDMA is permitted in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder and psilocybin can be prescribed in cases…

“The house was a porn studio for 65 years, and a bit of a hedonistic enclave. There was music and parties and politics, lots of art and lots of artists. It had a really special history, and I wanted to honour that backstory. And there was definitely some Julie & Julia thing going on with me and the house, because I was broken and falling apart, and the house was too. We were both desperately in need of some repair. So as I started restoring it, it was also very much about – maybe without even knowing it – doing the same to myself.” “I thought really hard about how I wanted to feel in the spaces, as opposed to how I wanted them to look. I thought very selfishly…

Quirky, whimsical, colourful,” is how Heartbreak High star Chloé Hayden describes her style. It's no wonder, then, that the 26-year-old turned to Camilla to find the perfect look for her wedding recovery day, following her romantic nuptials to Dylan Rohan. “The theme of our wedding was ‘A Touch Of Disney’, and when I saw the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs-inspired sundress, I knew it was the perfect thing to wear,” she says. Camilla's new collection - created in collaboration with Disney and inspired by the 1937 film - instantly appealed to Hayden, a longtime friend of Camilla and a lifelong Disney fan. Embellished with dazzling rubies and emeralds, and rosy-cheeked dwarfs, the collaboration channels the fantasy and romance of the classic fairytale, and is available from March 20. According…

Cars, like fashion and architecture, colour and shape our environment. They are themselves little time capsules that exhibit the zeitgeist of their model year. While some may seem to run parallel to fashion trends, planning paint colours and textures happens years in advance. Take Porsche's Frozen Berry, launched with the electric Taycan in 2019 just in time for the Y2K renaissance. Daniela Milošević, the brand's colour and trim designer, tells us the pastel metallic pink took at least three years of research and development. There are manufacturing challenges, costs, longevity needs, form and size to be considered – in short, car colour planning can be a tricky business. Yet elsewhere in today's market, a new era of expression is emerging – we see it in how we relate to our…

A cup of tea and a game of backgammon with my husband in the morning. Dappled sunlight coming in through a window. Being kissed on the neck, apropos of nothing. An after-work swim. A pre-dinner dance floor in the kitchen. A late afternoon walk as the sun goes down. Slipping into fresh sheets straight out of a hot shower. The first sip of cold Sancerre at the end of a long day. The song “Xanadu”. Warm, ridiculously buttery toast, slathered so thickly it looks like cheese. Also, actual cheese. Rebinging an elite vintage series of a reality show, like Survivor US: Heroes vs. Villains, or Kaitlyn's season of The Bachelorette. Singing obnoxiously loudly in the car. Reading a novel I can't put down in the middle of the day when…

“I've always been hugely drawn to LAYERING; a slip dress over trousers or a SHEER piece over jeans – this might be the fusion of east and west while growing up.” - LAKSHMI PILLAI, FASHION DESIGNER “Because I am a SIMPLE dresser, I'll add VARIATION to a look I wear often with a bag, hoisery or shoe (I buy a lot of shoes).” - FILOMENA NATOLI, MAKEUP ARTIST SCAN TO SHOP this edit now “I choose a piece based on QUALITY and a CONNECTION to it.

There's a time in the middle of your life when you'll wake up and realise that, well, you are there. So much of your life has been lived. And while you might have a few regrets, you also understand that you have control over what happens next. ‘The portal’, a phrase coined by writer and academic Anne Helen Petersen, has caught steam online, with women in their 40s telling Petersen (through her popular newsletter, Culture Study) that they've experienced unexpected surges of vitality. They're writing novels, embarking on new roles, ditching responsibilities, taking up ocean swimming… But this is only the beginning. The first portal might strike us at, as Petersen says, 40-ish: a time when many women have established careers, started families and have found a sense of identity.…

As the irreverent filmmaker John Waters once said, “If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, don't fuck ‘em!” And why? Because, rightly or wrongly, we see people who read as thoughtful, intellectual, learned, gorgeously introspective. Perhaps Emma Chamberlain said it best; “Reading makes you hot.” Of course, the Hot Girl didn't invent reading (neither did the Hot Guy, star of 2015's favourite Instagram account @hotdudesreading), but if you're an alien or AI bot who's only just arrived on planet Earth (welcome!) you'd be forgiven for thinking they did. The optics of reading are amassing cultural cachet like never before. Last year, armed with a flimsy pair of aughty-naughty glasses, fashion's It-girls leant into librarian-core. A recent survey conducted by the American Library Association (ALA) found that…

Richard Curtis, screenwriter & filmmaker “Love Island shows love in action much more convincingly than my films do.” Roxane Gay, writer & professor “I think that the Real Housewives franchises allow women to be their truest selves. We see the mess, we see their amazing friendships and everything in between. When women are allowed to be their fullest selves, [it is] the most feminist thing we can do.” Greta Gerwig, filmmaker “I love Love Is Blind … I love people falling in love on television and in their hearts. It just makes me so happy.”…

In each season, one single is matched with six potential suitors who they date via phone conversation, with one eliminated at the end of every episode.

InBeauty Why do we wear lipstick? Because it makes us feel beautiful. It signifies an important occasion. It commands attention. It completes an outfit. One theory is that it emphasises a woman's sexuality; by amping up the colour of our lips, we're subconsciously echoing the colour of the labia, in an effort to attract sexual attention. Probably a more simple theory is truer, that a pop of colour can be cheering, and in this day and age, that is priceless. But whatever the reason we swipe it on, the cultural penetration of lipstick has not achieved its current level of influence for some time. Put it down to a kind of a perfect storm. We know that, historically, sales of lipstick spike during times of economic hardship — and you've…

…and to get it off your clothes Love a lipstick that promises staying power… until it ends up on your shirt. The trick? Soak the stain with dish liquid for half an hour (the grease-cutting power removes oils that cause lipstick to stain) then soak it again in warm, soapy water. A toothbrush will remove leftover build-up before one last wash in the machine. Hairspray also works.…

InBeauty The average woman sees her own face 68 times a day. To be clear, this figure isn't based on survey or fact, but rather on lived experience and the unsolicited confessions of Reddit users. Wake up and scroll; see yourself tagged in three posts from the weekend. Look in the mirror and wonder if your nostrils are asymmetrical. Again on your phone on the train, and in the lift at work. Log in to a Zoom meeting. Take a selfie because it's Monday. Fritter away the last 45 minutes of the day playing with filters that assess and distort the face; am I high or low visual weight? Will I be more prone to crow's feet or smile lines? What would I look like with green eyes? How about…

I'm sitting on a Zoom call, and smiling back at me on the screen are two men with some of the whitest teeth I've ever seen. They are radiating good health and good vibes, wearing matching black baseball caps brandished with a logo featuring a large capital M on the front. The M stands for Manna Vitality, the duo's ‘transformative wellness’ brand that has developed an all-in-one supplement that aims to restore the body's electrical system to promote health and overall wellbeing. It's essentially a longevity super supplement – the latest in a flurry of products to launch in the category. In recent years, longevity has become the biggest buzzword in the $5.6 trillion global wellness industry, with everyone from Estée Lauder to billionaire-backed biotech companies attempting to slow, halt…

InWellness The world's been talking about weight – and the loss of it – an awful lot. Since Ozempic launched, debates have raged about fatphobia, body positivity and the drug's long-term side effects. But one topic has been largely absent in the discussion: pleasure. Semaglutide, the active ingredient in this new class of obesity medication, works by suppressing the appetite and inducing satiety (and can effectively drive weight loss when medically necessary). But what does this mean for moments of indulgence, for sharing in the joy of food? By cutting out ‘food noise’ in the brain, even stimulating a chemical repugnance, the simple pleasure of your beloved lemon drizzle cake is nullified. Not that eating for pleasure has ever been particularly encouraged. In this extract from her new book Unshrinking:…

In many parts of the world, but especially in Australia, there exists the idea that owning your own home equals ultimate success in life. If you can secure a parcel of land, or better yet one with a house on it, then the Great Australian Dream is yours! The emphasis, of course, is on the word dream. In Australia, prospective home owners can expect to pay more than 10 times their annual salary for a house (in 1984, it was 3.3 times the average salary). One McKinsey survey of almost 1800 gen Z Americans found that 59 per cent do not own or expect to own a home, compared to only 29 per cent of baby boomers. The rising number of gen Z and millennials who've given up the ambition…

Septime in Paris is one of the best restaurants in the world. The food is thoughtful, interesting and super tasty. Stefano Marano, Le Foote, Sydney My 2024 go-to is Parcs, Melbourne, a new project from former Brae head chef Damien Neylon. They decide for you but the menu rotates many times within each season. I also like Ipsos in Lorne, 8bit in Footscray, and looking into a crystal ball, I'm tipping that Daniel Berlin's Skåne in Sweden will be my next great international meal.

ARIES Autumn brings Aries season, and this year it's a big one. The Libra lunar eclipse on March 25 spurs change in all your one-to-one dealings, from romantic to platonic to business. See if you can welcome a challenge to your regular approach to intimacy, especially if it allows you more breathing room. Even conflict can refresh our relationships when it leads to clarification. Speaking of, Mercury stations retrograde in your sign on April 2, testing your patience by making everything decidedly unclear for the next three weeks. The Aries solar eclipse on April 9, followed by the Mercury cazimi on April 12, will be a succession of turning points where, through the fog, you might gain valuable insight about what fuels your fire, possibly by delving into your personal…

InFashion The weather in London was typically glacial. Well into late November, temperatures for the evening were set to reach a casual one degree with light winds and, surprisingly, no rain. In short, the forecast called for a coat that would act as a cocoon; protecting you from the elements. So when Beyoncé stepped out of her London hotel that night last year, it was only natural she was wrapped in a lush white Max Mara Teddy Coat. Creative director Ian Griffiths was inspired to design the Teddy after he visited the Max Mara archives and rediscovered the brand's signature pea coat from the ‘80s. Originally made from plush, long-pile fabrics developed in German mills, Griffiths’ updated version was made of camel hair woven into a silk base, creating a…

WHAT INSPIRED THIS PROJECT? In 2022, I began to critically think about my relationship with clothes. Who do I want to be in this world? How do I see myself ageing? While musing on this, I stumbled down the AI rabbit hole, and Future Fashion is the result: an opportunity to reimagine who I want to be as I age and the potential future of Australian personal style. Creating fashionable older women enabled me to work through my internal judgement and criticism at a time when I needed it most, in a world that endlessly pursues youth. DID YOU CONSIDER TRYING TO DO THIS SERIES WITHOUT THE HELP OF AI? The older women I know are beautiful, strong, thoughtful, inspiring and accomplished, yet whenever I attempt to take their photos…

TOGETHER WITH CITY CHIC Monday morning can go one of two ways. You spring out of bed, slip into something chic and are ready to take charge of the week to come… or else you find yourself staring into the wardrobe with no spark of sartorial inspiration in sight. There's plenty in there; that's rarely the issue. It's just that those pieces which energise and excite you - the ones that will send you out the door feeling beautiful, sexy, confident and whatever else you desire - are missing in action. Bringing the pleasure back to getting dressed comes down to one thing: curating a closet filled with luxurious everyday essentials. These essentials should be equal parts versatile and elevated - think luxurious fabrics and flattering details that make throwing…

Heather Gay She's an exMormon, New York Times bestseller, and essentially produced this year's bombshell Salt Lake City finale. Karen Huger The fact that this Potomac star is also known as the Grande Dame says it all. And Beyoncé used one of her catchphrases in “Formation”. Kyle Richards This Beverly Hills OG (and Kathy Hilton's sister) has a superpower: staying at the centre of the drama while never being the villain. Teresa Giudice A New Jersey legend and human meme. Her 11-month prison stint for fraud in 2015 hasn't detracted her staunch fans (Tre Huggers). Lisa Vanderpump She's no longer technically a Housewife, but still wields power without lifting a finger by presiding over her own (huge) show. A master puppeteer.…

“Nostalgia. It's delicate, but potent … In Greek, nostalgia literally means ‘the pain from an old wound’. It's a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone … It takes us to a place where we ache to go again.” - DON DRAPER, MAD MEN In the 2011 classic Midnight in Paris, Owen Wilson's character Gil writes a book about a man who works in a nostalgia shop. It's essentially just an op shop selling Shirley Temple dolls and old radios, but I like to think of it as somewhere more whimsical. You step inside and inhale a clean, citrusy whiff of CK One, before a rush of Lynx Africa hits you so hard you almost topple over a fibre optic flower lamp and collection of Tamagotchis. A…

Out the front of Charlee Fraser's childhood home in Newcastle stand two towering trees: one a gum, the other a jacaranda. While the house was always abuzz with activity (the family homed rabbits, cats, dogs, a horse, some goats and even, at one stage, a turtle), a young Fraser could often be found sitting atop those trees, playing peacefully by herself. “I'd climb them and just hang out up there,” she recalls. “I was very imaginative.” A proud Awabakal woman with Worimi and Biripi descent, from a young age Fraser was able to channel her creativity and find peace amidst chaos. That's a good thing, because she would go on to become one of Australia's most successful models, in an industry known for its relentless pace. After getting her start…

InBeauty In the early ‘90s, 20-year-old Poppy King's Seven Deadly Sins lipstick collection made her a household name. Last year, the Australian beauty founder, who now calls New York City home, relaunched her cult brand using the original formula, reigniting a love affair with red lipstick across multiple generations – from gen Xers who got their start with Original Sin, through to the swathe of gen Zs discovering King's covetable bullets for the first time. POPPY KING: It's a particularly interesting time for lipstick. We have just gone through a global pandemic where work changed, we wore masks and lips weren't shown as much. There are a lot of different factors, but what remains absolutely the same about wearing lipstick is the sense of possibility it gives you, that no…

InBeauty Anyone who was a teenager in the early aughts will no doubt recall the glory days of celebrity fragrances. Sickly sweet, sparkly and strong enough to scent an entire school bus, they made household names like Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Sarah Jessica Parker literal millions. Jennifer Lopez's debut perfume, Glow by J.Lo – a sugary, soapy perfume housed in a curvy bottle slung with a diamante chain – was the first to achieve record-breaking sales, cementing fragrance as a legitimate business move for pop stars, actors and athletes alike. For the first time, you could buy proximity to your favourite VIP and, with Instagram still eight years away, that felt huge. It didn't take long for everyone from One Direction to Bruce Willis to get amongst it. By…

Riley Hemson had something she needed to get off her chest. In November, the model and fashion content creator posted a video telling her audience, “I've come to the realisation that my Roman Empire is running.” She had never been able to enjoy running, wasn't even sure if she could run, but she thought about it every week. “I have always hated running, like when I say hate, I was the one who would cry and beg my mum to let me have the day off when it was cross-country,” she tells me. “I'd always been active – I played netball and basketball at quite a high level in school – and being on the court running, when there was a purpose for it, of course. Amazing. But just running…
