THIS MONTH YOU’LL FIND MEF… There’s a saying, if you want to change the world, you’ve got to “find your fearless”. Think about all those gutsy game-changers, and they often talk about the pivotal moment they found the courage to stand up, speak out or do something exceptional. Starting a new company, swapping careers, going for Olympic gold, facing down bullies: all these (and so much more) require us to banish inhibitions, no matter the consequences. It’s a concept we discuss constantly at marie claire, mostly because our main mission has always been to inspire women to move fearlessly forward so they can reach their true power and potential. It’s an audacious goal indeed, especially as most of us are hindered by fears, according to multiple studies. From garden-variety phobias…

Chanel’s J12 watch has graced the wrists of everyone from Victoria Beckham to Lily-Rose Depp. To mark its 20th anniversary, the design has been subtly refined, but maintains all the hallmarks of the original.…

She had only been with her boyfriend for a few months, so when Jaya Taki learnt she was pregnant, it was an emotionally overwhelming day for the 29-year-old. In those first heady hours in her Sydney home, feelings of shock, disbelief and anxiety could be suddenly offset by bursts of exhilaration and joy as she tried to wrap her head around what four home pregnancy tests confirmed after she missed her period. She picked up her phone and texted the news to a close friend, her fingers quivering on the screen’s keyboard. The friend was thrilled, even congratulating her, and Taki began to wonder what she was ever fretting about. Happiness began to take over, and she was suddenly looking ahead to a bright, new horizon. Now she was even…

Charlize Theron likes the darkness. It calls to her. It’s a place where she’s come to feel comfortable over the years, thanks to her ferocious, starkly nuanced performances as serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Monster (for which Theron won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 2004), Imperator Furiosa in Mad Max: Fury Road, the wicked queen Ravenna in Snow White and the Huntsman and the icily lethal MI6 agent Lorraine Broughton in Atomic Blonde. So if you’re surprised to learn she’s playing the romantic lead in the latest Seth Rogen rom-com, Long Shot, you’re not alone. “I never thought I would be in a romcom,” says Theron, laughing. “I don’t think I would know how to do justice to a straightforward rom-com.” We’re at Milk Studios in Hollywood, where…

HOT TIP: HOLD TRICKY MEETINGS AT THE START OF THE DAY TO NIP CONFLICT IN THE BUD Conflict is part and parcel of any workplace, and while most of us do everything in our power to avoid it, learning how to quickly and painlessly resolve problems is the only way to prevent bigger ones later on. Here are my top tips for dealing with drama… DON’T SKIP THE SMALL STUFF Workplace conflicts often arise from seemingly minor issues, such as a staff member interrupting their co-worker during a moment of focus, or a clash over a meeting room that wasn’t booked. One of the simplest ways of preventing office conflict is ensuring general etiquette is maintained. Rather than calling out to a co-worker across the room, walk to their desk.…

If you’re seeking luminous, natural make-up, look no further than Gucci Westman. The celebrity make-up artist has long been on the speed-dial of photographers and stars such as Cameron Diaz, Natalie Portman, Gwyneth Paltrow (and “my girl” Jennifer Aniston), who prefer real-looking skin rather than airbrushed perfection. After 20 years in the industry, the development of an expertly curated line of clean make-up seemed the natural progression for the make-up artist. Based on good-for-skin formulations dosed with plant-based actives and high-tech wizardry where necessary, Westman Atelier is crafted to create your best complexion – both now and into the future. “When I started to research what was missing in the market, I felt there was a real gap between luxury and natural products,” Westman tells marie claire. “There are very…

SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 Former NRL star Jarryd Hayne, 31, was charged on November 19 with aggravated sexual assault over an encounter with a woman, 26. She reportedly has photographic evidence to support her claims. NOVEMBER 24, 2018 Wests Tigers’ Zane Musgrove, 23, and Penrith Panthers reserve grade player Liam Coleman, 22, pleaded not guilty to charges of indecently assaulting a woman at Sydney’s Coogee Bay Hotel. DECEMBER 5, 2018 Manly Warringah Sea Eagles player Dylan Walker, 24, was charged over an alleged assault on his fiancée, the 2014 Miss Universe Australia finalist Alexandra Ivkovic. However, Ivkovic retracted the complaint she made to police, and Walker was found not guilty after appearing in court in May. DECEMBER 9, 2018 St George Illawarra Dragons player Jack de Belin has pleaded not guilty…

At the end of every working week, Bumble founder and CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd likes to slow things down for her team. Often this means staying at HQ, a playful midcentury-style pad, to treat the 60-person team based in Austin, Texas, to manicures in the designated Glam Room (which doubles as a nursing haven for new mums). But today she takes them to the local cinema to see RBG, the documentary about iconic US Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The group of staffers, mostly women, fills seats around Wolfe Herd as Betty Boop for President, a slyly subversive blackand-white cartoon, plays before the documentary. The two films are an appropriate combo for this gang: Bumble is nothing if not woman-centric, and its notions of womanhood intertwine strands of the…

“It is mad,” says Jessie Buckley with a nod. “Sometimes you have to take a step back!” The 29-year-old Irish redhead is in a reflective mood, days after being crowned Most Promising Newcomer at the British Independent Film Awards for the thriller Beast. Her from-the-heart speech and after-party Converse boots sum up just why we love her. “I don’t really know how else to be,” she chuckles. Her next 12-month whirlwind includes Judy Garland biopic Judy with “one of a kind” Renée Zellweger, and The Voyage of Doctor Dolittle with “complete inventor” Robert Downey Jr., not forgetting films with Benedict Cumberbatch (Ironbark) and Keira Knightley (Misbehaviour). But it’s the fabulous Wild Rose that hits first, with Buckley as Rose-Lynn, a Glasgow ex-con who dreams of being a country singer. “I…

LOOK OUT FOR THESE INGREDIENTS “Women are much more aware of what they are putting on and in their bodies,” says Indie Lee, founder of Indie Lee & Co., which recently launched in Sephora. “Some of the ingredients we choose to avoid using in our products are parabens, sulfates, aluminium, phthalates, BHA and BHT.” YOU DON’T HAVE TO SACRIFICE EFFICIENCY If you’re in doubt of whether clean stacks up with regular products in terms of efficacy, you can stop worrying. “Natural ingredients are packed with vitamins, minerals, nutrients, antioxidants, fatty acids and even anti-inflammatory benefits,” says Cathy Galileos, head trainer at Sukin. “We need to debunk the myth that natural products aren’t as effective as synthetics.” TAKE IT ONE PRODUCT AT A TIME. “I always tell people to ease in…

If you really want to get back to purity, there are few places on the planet as clean or untouched as Antarctica. In fact, I challenge you to find one. So when I was asked by Sukin – a Melbournebased, Australian-made natural skincare range, which has grown to become one of Australia’s most popular natural skincare brands – if I would travel to this frozen land, I jumped at the opportunity. With a deadline-driven job and a busy family life, I was – like many women today – feeling the effects of a nonstop urban lifestyle. Eleven days in Antarctica, armed with a swag of Sukin skincare, seemed a very good way to detox both my coffeefuelled mind and also my skin, which was looking dehydrated and more than a…

Along with daily SPF and diligent facial cleansing, skin experts all agree on A. “Vitamin A is the most important ingredient to minimise the signs of skin ageing,” says Daniel Isaacs, director of research at Medik8. “It is proven to help boost collagen synthesis and block the breakdown of collagen.” What’s more, regular doses of A make the skin behave like younger skin. “Retinol, or vitamin A, is an antioxidant and [is] essential in assisting in normalised skin function,” explains Philippa Curnow, national education manager at Elizabeth Arden. “This means a reduction in both lines and wrinkles, a reduction in pore size and reduced breakouts.” Pigmentation and skin brightness are also tackled by this can-do ingredient, adding to the lengthy list of skin benefits that vitamin A provides. However, for…

HOTEL OF THE MONTH Two words: overwater bungalow. There’s no swoonier combination in the travel lexicon than that. Hauling up in a thatched roof hut above clear water is always a blissful prospect. At Bawah Reserve, the holiday is made even more heavenly by knowing that the eco resort is doing right by the surrounding Anambas Archipelago as you lap up the luxury. More on Bawah and other feel-good destinations in the pages to come. INDONESIA Bawah Reserve…

On a mild autumn day in the late ’70s, mothers at the Central Park playground on Fifth Avenue were pushing their perfectly preened, rosy-cheeked children on swings, consumed by conversations about the humdrum of life as a housewife. Absorbed by their dissection, they failed to notice a solitary woman sitting on the bench nearby – her thick blonde hair under a baseball cap, a book open on her lap. Yet instead of reading, she was listening intently to the Upper East Side mums bemoaning the boredom of child rearing and the monotony of missionary sex. She studied their mannerisms, movements and even facial expressions, taking notes and tucking each nuance away. She was to pour the meticulous detail into an upcoming film, Kramer vs. Kramer, about a woman walking out…

“HE B.BLOSSOM RANGE IS HAPPY, FUN, FEMININE AND FIERCE”– Francesca Amfitheatrof If there was one word to sum up today’s resounding fashion feeling, it would be “female”. No longer toiling over sewing machines in dark and dingy backrooms, women are finally stepping into the spotlight and helming some of the world’s largest fashion houses. The latest lady on the block: Francesca Amfitheatrof, who’s taken the reins as artistic director of watches and jewellery for Louis Vuitton. She arrives at the house following a stellar career designing jewels across the globe (born in Japan, she’s part-Italian, part-Russian and part-American). Her debut offering, B.Blossom, is a line of fine jewellery for the woman who’s not afraid to leave her mark on the world. Louis Vuitton’s instantly recognisable star-shaped flower, stamped on the…

Eurydice Dixon was murdered in Melbourne on her way home from performing a comedy show on June 13, 2018. She was 22. It was a truly terrible thing. I did not know Eurydice personally, but I feel I can say that she was a young woman who was just trying to tell jokes and get home that night. It hit very hard in our community. Apart from the many people who knew and worked with her, the experience of doing shows at night then getting home on your own safely is something all women who do stand-up know well. You cannot avoid being out late at night. It’s part of the job. I was 23 when I started stand-up comedy in 2006, and I’ve walked home from many gigs late…

The paparazzi are crouched on an unassuming street corner in downtown Los Angeles, poised like panthers waiting to pounce on their prey. Click click. Here comes Kourtney Kardashian in boyfriend jeans and a black crop top, a tiny Louis Vuitton backpack slung over one shoulder. She greets a hooded male figure, Justin Bieber, who’s doing his best ’90s dad impression in baggy Hawaiian boardshorts and box-fresh Nike Air Max sneakers. Click click. Kendall Jenner emerges from a black SUV, every bit the off-duty supermodel in a slinky nude knit dress. Next to arrive are actor Chris Pratt, singer Selena Gomez and big-name US basketballer Kevin Durant. It’s pure paparazzi gold, a melange of celebrities so eclectic one can only assume they’re off to an Oscar’s after-after-party or mega pop concert.…

I WROTE, CO-CREATED AND STARRED IN THE COMEDY SERIES… The Letdown. IN LIFE THE BIGGEST LET-DOWN HAS BEEN… Politics. I love politics. During high school, I flirted with the idea of entering that arena – what a nerd! But I’m perpetually disillusioned by parliament, particularly its approach to refugees. IN THE LETDOWN, I PLAY AUDREY, A STRUGGLING NEW MUM IN AN ODDBALL MOTHERS’ GROUP. THE HARDEST PART OF BEING A MUM IN REAL LIFE IS… Bedtime, oh and dinnertime. And the work/parent juggle and the sleep deprivation and … I’ll stop. MY SON AUGUSTUS WOULD DESCRIBE ME AS� “Tall, with a ponytail. And she has good cuddles.” (I just asked him.) I’m actually not very tall, but I am a good hugger. IN REAL LIFE, MY COSTAR CELESTE BARBER IS……

in five easy steps 1 LISTEN AND SUPPORT In boardrooms, meetings and conferences: make sure you give women the space and support to talk, share their insights and use their voice. Then really listen. 2 EDUCATE YOURSELF Don’t expect the women in your life/office to take on the emotional labour of teaching you about women’s issues. Read articles and books on intersectional feminism. Actively seek out different perspectives from women of colour, the LGBTQI community and other minorities. 3 CALL IT OUT If you see sexist behaviour in your workplace, don’t just stand by; speak up. Women have been calling out misogyny since the dawn of the patriarchy. Men need to start holding other men accountable and demanding more from them. 4 BE CONSCIOUS When hiring and promoting, make sure…

BEAUTY, TO ME, IS WHEN A WOMAN IS COMFORTABLE WITH HERSELF AND GENUINE TO HER HEART. There are many different types of beauty. It’s about being original, about being a fearless woman who follows her own path, who doesn’t follow all the rules. It’s important to develop both your internal and your external beauty too. [Acting] has made me more understanding of other people and their stories and how that’s shaped them. I’VE ALWAYS LOOKED AT KÉRASTASE CAMPAIGNS – with the beautifully brushed-out hair – and thought, “Gosh it would be nice to be in a campaign like that.” And now I’m here and shooting in my home country! It’s nice to come home and to work in Australia. I had to leave Australia to have a career in modelling,…

Lana Taylor can see her whole life play out from the glass-encased stairwell that laces through her three-level home. “Or at least until we’re too old to climb the steps,” she says. The next few dozen Christmases and birthdays will be staged here, set against the haze of sunlight, crisp white and pops of green. Her kids, Ruby, 11, and Heath, nine, will spend their teens by the pool, and husband Jason will ease into retirement (from a celebrated rugby league career), floating between Greek Islandsinspired indoor and outdoor spaces. Up in the sunlit home office at the top of the stairwell, Lana will spend much of the foreseeable future growing the renovating business she runs with her two best friends into an empire. The house is the sixth of…

DORIS ROWLAND GARRISON My mum was a Christian woman, very nurturing and a real lover. We had a tumultuous relationship – [and] fought about everything, stuff that’s way too harsh to mention here – but it was because she always wanted me to be better than her. The one thing I always gathered from my mum was her love. She had so much love to give me and really believed in me. She put me in the choir, took me to rehearsals and always watched me sing, even though it meant sacrificing her own time with me. When I got older, my mum told me that in kindergarten I had written down that I wanted to be a singer and wear a red dress. Reflecting on that a couple of…
