THANKS FOR HELPING: When we saw the adorable face of Tink the koala joey – our favourite new cover girl – we knew we needed to do something to shore up her future. By purchasing this magazine you’ve helped the following charities who assist in the recovery and conservation of our native wildlife: Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary and Hospital (and home to Tink!) in Qld, WIRES (Wildlife Information Rescue and Education Service) in NSW: Wildlife Victoria; and Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park Fund in SA. There wasn’t a single day of the bushfire crisis that I didn’t cry,’’ admits Lynleigh Greig, volunteer wildlife first responder and co-founder of Sydney Wildlife Rescue. And she wasn’t the only person brought to tears during this catastrophic summer. There have been tears shed by battle-weary firies…

THE MUM ON A MISSION Based in Narooma on NSW’s South Coast, Michelle Preston co-founded the group ICE – Turning Family Pain Into Power to support the families of addicts. Her son Tysyn, 28, has been addicted to ice for a decade. I can still remember the day when I thought I was doing a regular shop at the supermarket. My son Tysyn, who was 25, had texted me a few things, which I popped in the trolley. I looked at the list and thought, “Why does he need Drano, bleach, iodine and oven cleaner?” It turned out I had sourced the ingredients for him to cook up a fresh batch of ice. With a gas cooker and a few glass dishes he was set. He first tried ice at…

PHOEBE WALLER-BRIDGE, ROPE, 2010 “She’s in between being Phoebe and the character she’s about to play,” says Annand of this image, taken a decade ago before Waller-Bridge shot to superstardom. “The picture represents someone who’s very bright and, in a way, too intelligent to be waiting around all the time to be hired.” After this stint in a thriller at London’s Almeida Theatre, Waller-Bridge went on to write and play the title role in Fleabag, her one-woman-show-turned-award-winning series. “She’s got something in her face, but a face is only a face,” muses Annand. “It’s what you put through it that makes it interesting.” JUDE LAW, HAMLET, 2009 Among notes from wellwishers and images Law stuck on his dressing-room mirror for inspiration, Annand zones in on one in particular: “See that…

JILL OGAI, 26, SOLOIST AT THE AUSTRALIAN BALLET, AND JOSH MILLAR, 28, ACADEMIC “I gave him my number on the bus and he texted me a year and a half later” The first thing Jill noticed about Josh was his shoes. Standing behind him on the bus, she found herself wondering if this man’s face was as good as his outfit. “When he finally turned around I went, ‘Oh, he’s the love of my life!’” Jill says with a laugh. Josh on the other hand, was oblivious to Jill’s interest, until a week later when they hopped off the bus and she thrust an origami crane with her phone number written on it into his hands. While Josh was in a relationship at the time, the encounter stuck in his…

ROSE MCGOWAN The actor spent the first nine years of her life living in the polygamous Children of God sect, which counted more than 15,000 members worldwide. “We left because they started advocating child-adult sex and that was too far for my father.” KEIRA MAGUIRE The first five years of Maguire’s life in a polygamist cult came to light after she appeared on The Bachelor in 2016. The cult was founded by her father in the ‘70s and was dubbed “The Seaside Sect.” Maguire’s mum was one of nine “wives” and the cult leader reportedly had 64 children in total. WINONA RYDER During her childhood, Ryder’s family lived in a commune in Northern California with six other families. While she acknowledges that it was unconventional, she looks back on it…

VIRTUAL REALITY The days of trying on 15 different lipsticks at the counter could be a thing of the past. Brands are now offering artificial intelligence to do the messy work for you. YSL Beauty has launched its Beautymatic machine, which incorporates a virtual reality component that allows you to “try on” multiple lipstick finishes and shades without a make-up pad in sight. It tours with the YSL Beauty Station, so keep an eye out for one near you at yslbeauty.com.au. Meanwhile, Dior launched its first Instagram filter, 3DiorMakeup, over the holiday period. To try it for yourself (and share): the filter can be found on the Dior Makeup Instagram account, @diormakeup. “THE MIRROR HAS BEEN A TOOL WE HAVE ALWAYS USED; WE ARE SIMPLY ENHANCING THE CURRENT EXPERIENCE WITH…

24 CARAT SKIN Gold has been used for millennia to tone and calm, so why stop now? We’ve rounded up three gold-spiked skin saviours for every budget SPLASH AHC Brilliant Gold Toner (1), $109. It flies off the shelves at home in Korea and is set to do the same now that it’s at Myer. Ideal for dry skin, this gold-charged toner calls on potent seaweed to hydrate and revitalise. SPLURGE MZ SKIN BY DR. MARYAM ZAMANI Lift & Lustre Golden Elixir Antioxidant Serum (2), $425.

STEAL ACEOLOGY Anti-Aging Gold Eye Mask (3), $49 (6 pairs). This Aussie brand is going gangbusters and we…

Gwyneth Paltrow thinks menopause needs “rebranding”, and we couldn’t agree more. She says it gets a “bad rap”. And it does. Unlike childbirth or our periods, menopause isn’t something we readily discuss; do you remember your grandmother ever talking about it? Or hearing about it in school? In most Western societies it’s always been seen as just something inevitable that women have to “get through”. But what if you didn’t have to just get through menopause? What if you could delay it for, say, 20 years? Well, a clinic in the UK has recently started offering a service to do just that by using a medical breakthrough previously designed for cancer patients. FREEZING TIME Ovarian tissue cryopreservation is a medical advancement that has been used on cancer patients since 1999…

Thou shalt not hide special pieces away “Styling a vignette is the way to go for the things you love. Basically, what you have to think about is something called ‘forced perspective’; something tall, like a mirror or artwork, at the back; mid-height, such as a lamp, in the middle and something small, like a candle, in the foreground. The sense that perspective is moving away from you is really calming to the eye. Then add something living (plants or flowers) and you’re going to end up with a successful vignette.” Rejoice in nature’s bounty “It’s amazing the difference a big bunch of flowers on a coffee table can do to a room. It changes it from furniture and art to something alive. Succulents work really well. They are low-maintenance…

THE TREND TWIN SET Worn by international style icons from Jackie Kennedy to Brigitte Bardot, the Chanel suit has long been a stamp of sophistication and French-girl dressing. Mimic the look today with candy-coloured tweed and flouncy peplums. THE TREND READY TO WEAR Sure, fashion is about fantasy, but more and more it’s becoming about functionality. The season’s biggest trend is wearability: pieces that are casual, cool and comfortable, such as slouchy pants and low heels – as seen at Fendi. Just add a bold accessory. THE TREND NEUTRALS & NEON The days of dressing in head-to-toe cream and camel are over. Hugo Boss’ latest collection is infused with playful pops of neon, and a host of other labels have joined the fray with elegant extras in highlighter hues. STYLE…

The good old airport. Or as I like to call it, an actual living nightmare. We’ve all been to one, and if you haven’t because of a crippling fear of flying, let me break it down for you. The airport is essentially made up of a collection of strangers who are all about to be trapped on a long tube hurtling through the sky. If the tube were to crash, the results would be catastrophic. However, most of the time it doesn’t, so instead you have a bunch of people who don’t even realise they’re in a heightened emotional state, with somewhere to be, sometimes with kids, often sleep deprived, paying $16 for the worst sandwich they’ve ever eaten in their life, all while trying to convince security that they’re…

NADINE, 57 “I think society as a whole needs to get over its obsession with this idea of perfection. We are all perfectly imperfect. I’m proud of my body for keeping me thriving over the past 57 years, enabling me to bring two boys into the world and being the vehicle that I can express myself through. Two years ago, I joined a modelling agency and they found me work pretty much straight away. I’d always been self-conscious about being photographed, but turning 50 was like having a light switched on inside me and I no longer care what other people think of me.” KATE, 40 “For me, body confidence is all about perspective. I’m lucky enough to work in a field that I’m passionate about – speech pathology –…

As the cliché goes, Melanie Jarnson isn’t just a pretty face. Case in point, the model-turned-actor can also list songwriter and dressage-trained equestrian on her résumé. Growing up with a diplomat father, Jarnson, now 21, spent her childhood in Bangkok, India and Brussels (where she learnt to ride horses) surrounded by “the illusion of wealth”. Jarnson tapped into her childhood of nice houses, a driver, lavish parties and of course, the horses to play Georgia Konig – an entitled daughter from a filthy rich and powerful family – in the new TV drama Between Two Worlds. “Initially I found it hard to relate to Georgia’s wealth; I had to familiarise myself with her privilege,” says Jarnson, who moved to Australia four years ago and trained at the Academy of Film,…

READ ALL ABOUT IT THE LOTUS EATERS by Emily Clements (Hardie Grant Books, $34.99) At 19 years old, Emily found herself in Vietnam on a whim, navigating its rice-terraced mountains and chaotic cities alone and terrified. The intense experience was exactly what she needed to confront the ugliest parts of herself and the society she grew up in, both of which left her with cripplingly low self-worth and an unhealthy relationship with sex. This memoir is a lesson in self-acceptance and a must read for long-suffering people-pleasers. A LONG PETAL OF THE SEA by Isabel Allende (Penguin Random House, $34.99) A consummate storyteller at the height of her powers, in this latest novel Allende returns to her favourite theme: the resilience of the human spirit. Historical fiction driven by the…

1 FIND YOUR NICHE “When I was 12, I wanted to be a ballerina. Hosting car racing on Fox Sports was not exactly on my radar. However, years of toiling away understanding and learning what my strengths are has afforded me the opportunity to do something I’m truly passionate about. Identify what makes you unique and use those qualities to your advantage – there is opportunity all around you.” 2 BE YOURSELF “There is a misguided theory that in order to be successful in a male-dominated industry, you need to ‘act’ like a man. To the contrary, my femininity and female voice have been my biggest assets and have led to some of the most revealing interviews I have ever done – the toughest, most hardcore athletes feel like they…

CARRIE BICKMORE “I’M A WORKING MOTHER” When The Project host isn’t filming, recording her radio show, writing her magazine column or being an ambassador for the Blackmores Sydney Running Festival, she is running around looking after her three young children, Ollie, Evie and Adelaide. What does being healthy mean to you? “When I think of wellness, I think of doing things in my life that help me be content. Finding things to help keep my mind and body healthy so I can get through life in a more stress-free, content way.” As a mum, how do you fit in ‘me time’? “I think most mums put their own needs way down the to-do list. For me, going for a run or doing a Pilates class gives me a little window…

THE HAPPIEST HOUR The perks are plentiful at Sydney’s Ovolo 1888, with the Darling Harbour outpost offering a free minibar, lolly bags, breakfast and happy hour at in-house bar Mister Percy.

Ice-cold slush seeped through the holes of the woman’s trainers as she raced through the streets of Manhattan. With her cropped jacket wrapped tightly around her body, she looked like any other New Yorker trying to escape the snowstorm currently grinding the city to a halt. It was October, 1987, and the snow arrived suddenly and without warning. Unseasonably early in fact, with the downfall becoming the earliest in recorded history. But even if the snow hadn’t taken the city by surprise that day, the young woman would still have worn the same outfit. The short jacket over a T-shirt and stretch pants, all in black, and those battered trainers would be her only choice every day, no matter how bitter the New York winter got, until just over a…

MARY DAVIS My mum was the most tolerant, kind and unshakable person. She taught me patience and generosity. When I was little, Mum made all these beautiful costumes for me and ferried me from primary school productions of Joseph and [The] Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat to Alice in Wonderland over at the Theatre Royal for my weekend drama classes. She was always preserving fruit, making cakes, feeding animals, children and grown-ups, and managing my artist father’s life. I never once saw her get angry. The harshest word she ever said was “bother”! I remember asking her once, “How can you bear all of this? You know. The chaos and fury of our family?” She told me, “Essie, I just think it’s better to be like a reed in the river and…

Jeremy Meeks – better known across the internet as “hot felon” – was already notorious as a convict, internet meme and catwalk model. When his blue-eyed, pouting police mugshot – replete with tattooed teardrop, scar and five o’clock shadow – went viral and he was signed up by an agent while still in prison, he seemed to epitomise a new level of madness in our celebrity culture: not just famous for doing nothing, à la Kim Kardashian, but for looking really good while doing something very bad. As it turned out, there was another chapter to come. Three years after being arrested on weapons charges, he met Chloe Green, the daughter of the disgraced British Topshop tycoon Philip Green, in (where else?) Cannes. It wasn’t long before Chloe, a former…

ALWAYS-OPEN APPS INSIGHT TIMER “I’m a terrible sleeper [but] this guided meditation sleep app has really helped. I’ve just done a 10-day meditation course on it with Jennifer Piercy called ‘Your Guide To Deeper Sleep.’ It teaches you that waking up in the middle of the night is OK and not to panic about getting back to sleep. Simple but effective.” IMDB “When I start researching a celebrity interview, IMDB is my first port of call. It has all the information on actors and projects in one place, and the trivia section makes for great questions. My habit is so bad that I sometimes spoil movies for myself by accidentally reading the trivia on IMDB first.” SNAP SEED “Snapseed is one of my favourite [photo] editing apps. I [prefer] it…

PAPER-BAG PANTS Can an item of clothing be equal parts comfy and chic? These pants, cinched at the waist and cropped at the ankle, fit the bill. TWEED BLAZER Make like an It Brit and play up the tweed blazer’s countryside connotations. Think crisp white shirting, soft and slouchy denim and tall riding boots (equally suitable for city slickers). OVERSIZED DRESS Pump up the volume: billowing smock dresses beloved by the street-style set are here to stay. Add some chunky footwear to set off the floaty femininity. CREAM DENIM White jeans may be your greatest fashion fear, but cream is an entirely different proposition, especially in wide silhouettes. PUFF-SLEEVE BLOUSE The new statement sleeve is frothy, sweet and supersized – the puff works in proportion to a neatly fitted bodice…

Even in the realm of megastars, there are few who have a CV quite like Jennifer Lopez. She may have started as Jenny from the Block, but JLo was never actually going to stay there. With countless awards under her belt for both music and screen (including her most recent Golden Globes nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Hustlers), films grossing $4.5 billion, an estimated 80 million records sold globally and more than 108 million followers on Instagram, Lopez’s star power is still burning bright at 50 years of age. In fact, you could say she’s just getting started. With an award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America in June 2019 for her contribution to fashion, to an international It’s My Party tour that ran…

I LOVE WHITE FLORALS, and gardenia | is one of my favourites. When I started the KKW Fragrance range I wanted to make a signature scent using gardenia - so I launched with Crystal Gardenia and Crystal Gardenia Oud. I WANTED TO MAKE THE BOTTLE LOOK LIKE A CRYSTAL; at that time, all my friends were bringing these healing crystals over to the house and I thought they were so beautiful with a lot of meaning. It really represented what was going on in my life and healing, so it felt really empowering. I LOVE TO HAVE A SIGNATURE FOR THE DAYTIME and Crystal Gardenia is definitely my everyday fragrance. When I feel like being feeling sexy, [I apply] one of the Body fragrances. Those are a little bit richer…

YOUR FOOD, TRAVEL AND INTERIORS INSPIRATION THE NEW MOOD Darren Palmer, the king of laid-back interiors, invites us into his home; culinary big hitter Matt Preston shows us why salads and sides are the new stars of the dinner table; and Elle Macpherson tells us all about Thai health retreat Kamalaya.
