Innholdsfortegnelse for June 2023 i Marie Claire Australia

As I type, Succession fever is gripping the office. Who’ll wrestle control of the Roy family empire has enthralled the marie claire team – and the globe – for five years, and we’re now breathlessly waiting to discover who’ll be king or queen. It’s Game of Thrones all over again, without the dragons. Throughout every treacherous plot twist, one thing’s become clear: we’re all fangirling Siobhan “Shiv” Roy. She may be arguably one of the more dislikable characters in TV history but the world’s cheering for her. Why? It all comes down to Aussie actor Sarah Snook’s deliciously layered performance – she’s given us permission to love the unlovable. Which is why, with the series now nearing its history-making finale, we’re thrilled to have the Golden Globe-winner helm our June…

As time goes by, technology continues to venture beyond the realms of the traditional but one thing remains certain: there will always be a desire for elegance. Despite advancements such as touch-screen smartwatches reigning supreme, we’re far from trading our classic timepieces for digital screens. After all, what works on the running track won’t take you from the office to an after-work soiree. Adorning the wrists of women around the world since its introduction in 2010, the Rado Centrix has established itself as a symbol of sophistication and strength. The timepiece’s latest model has remained true to its essence, crafted in a high-tech ceramic with an innovative, slightly rounded edge, and Rado’s signature scratch-resistant, anti-reflective sapphire crystal to protect the dial (aka face). Behind the clockwork, state-of-the-art Swiss movements ensure…

Grief is a universal experience, yet we’re often not prepared for it when it happens to us. Western society knows how to love but we don’t deal with death. We don’t talk about grief and because of that we perceive it as something that happens in private. We have this idea that if you talk about the person who died, you’re making that person sad or reminding them of their loss. We both lost our mums within a few months of each other and one of the biggest fears we shared was that people were going to forget our mums or stop saying their name – as if they didn’t exist. Getting comfortable with talking about grief is not just important for the grievers, it also better educates people on…

Stormy Daniels lights a cigarette and takes a sip of Coca-Cola. The former porn star turned director is sitting on the back patio of her house in the US countryside. It’s early April and Daniels has again made headlines after Donald Trump was indicted by a jury for allegedly giving her hush money during the 2016 US presidential election. Daniels had hoped Trump’s indictment would bring with it a kind of catharsis. But when the news broke, “I was just numb,” she says. “It doesn’t feel like I thought it would; it just doesn’t feel like anything. It doesn’t feel like a victory … It was like having sex for hours and not having an orgasm.” It was the Friday after the March 30 indictment announcement and I had travelled…

When Gold Coast-born singer-songwriter Charley was tossing up between genres for a new single, she decided to leave its fate with her fans. “I couldn’t decide between putting a country song or a bop on my new EP, so I put out an Instagram poll to my fans to choose for me,” says the 25-year-old singer. A fluid and organic approach is part of the mastery of Charley’s craft. Her lyrics are deeply personal and honest, reflecting on her experiences as she navigates the world. Her songs are inspired by “all the personal stuff. Anything I’m going through, I need to write about it and get it out because I feel like that’s my therapy in a way.” Lending her voice to her music is something Charley (born Claire Howell)…

Our eyes have long been regarded as the windows to the soul, so protecting the surrounding skin is a no-brainer. That skin is incredibly delicate, up to 10 times thinner than on the rest of your face, which unfortunately makes the area more susceptible to the signs of ageing and fatigue. According to Dr Cara McDonald, dermatologist and director of Complete Skin Specialists, “The eyelid skin … is closely adhered to the underlying muscle, which means it is exposed to more movement than almost anywhere else on the face. For these reasons, the skin around the eye shows signs of ageing earlier than elsewhere on the face, with fine lines, wrinkles and crepiness.” In addition, eyelid skin is less robust and more prone to irritation, discolouration and allergy. Enter eye…

GOT YOU, GIRL Vida Glow’s supplements line tackles female-centric issues such as intimate health, stress, anxiety and immunity. We love the De-Stress chewables, which aim to help reduce feelings of mild anxiety in six weeks.

AUNT GORDANA For a long time my aunt Gordana was a mystery in my life. Throughout my childhood I was never allowed to spend much time with her. Later in life I found out it was because she was an alcoholic. In 2013 I started working on a documentary, called The Forbidden Aunt, about my aunt and the four generations of women in my family and through this I started to get to know her. I discovered that she had cleaned up her life and was sober. In all the archival footage I found of our family, my aunt was always the most exciting one – she had this life force to her. She only dressed in vintage clothing and never bought a new thing. She was obsessed with Turkish…

Skye Doherty was sitting in the chair at her cosmetic surgeon’s practice, gritting her teeth through the intensely painful experience of having her lip filler dissolved, and thinking, “This is not who I am. How did I end up here?” The veterinarian nurse had never been one to follow trends. She bought clothes that suited her, rather than what the It-girls were wearing. She wasn’t on Twitter or Instagram and she couldn’t tell one Kardashian from the next. That’s why she was surprised when, in 2016, she found herself desperately wanting lip-filler, inspired by singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey. “I just thought she always looked so sultry and sexy,” the 31-year-old tells marie claire. “And at the time lips were the thing everyone was getting. I wanted to have juicy lips…

It all started with Selena Gomez’s eyebrows. Apparently, she had over-laminated them. She wished they were more like Bella Hadid’s. She shared that very sentiment in late February in a (now deleted) video with her more than 58 million followers on TikTok. A few hours later, Kylie Jenner posted a screenshot of a FaceTime call with BFF Hailey Bieber to her more than 380 million Instagram followers. In the image, both women had zoomed in on their brows, which the internet deduced was a snide attack on Selena. And that is how the war began. Cries of “mean girl vibes” were hurled at Kylie and Hailey, sides were taken, fingers were pointed, a “goodie” and a “baddie’ were determined, and Hailey Bieber was branded the ultimate Regina George. Why Hailey…

You are staring as Ariel in the remake of The Little Mermaid. Can you take me back to the moment when you found out the role was yours? I was overjoyed! I was so excited. I felt like I was living in a dream. I have loved this movie ever since I was young, and getting to be such a big part of this is really a blessing. Many little girls dream of being a Disney princess, and now you are one. What does that mean to you? It truly means the world. I get to not only reinvent this character, but I also show other young Black and brown kids that we can be anything we want to be. And we deserve to be in these spaces, too. It’s…

You’re starring in The Boogeyman, which is based on a short story by Stephen King. What was your first exposure to King’s stories? The first movie I saw of his was Cujo and that freaked me out. Maybe I was too young to see it. I was scared of dogs for a while after that. I feel like Stephen King owns his own genre. Who is your favourite Stephen King villain? Kathy Bates in Misery. It’s a really tight, beautiful, scary film. Kathy Bates is breathtaking and because she was unknown at the time you really bought into her psychopathic character because she wasn’t a movie star. You worked with your daughters on this film. What was that like? I loved working with my daughters. They were fantastic. [But] they…

GO BARE Founder Jennifer Mekhaeil Your answer to IPL hair removal at home, Go Bare is an award-winning hair-removal range to help get you hair free permanently. THE INSPIRATION “Go Bare started as a side hustle, as I also work full-time running my accounting firm. Before I launched the brand, I was so time poor I found myself skipping salon appointments like laser hair removal. Over time, I wondered whether I could come up with a more affordable, at-home solution to beauty treatments such as hair removal, and from there Go Bare was born.” THE UNIQUE SELLING POINT (USP) “Our brand as a collective is fun, approachable and educational. In terms of functionality, we have seven intensity levels and the handset has a built-in LCD screen, which helps navigate the process.…

MY APPROACH TO BEAUTY has always been about building layers from within. I’m really into a holistic approach: diet, acupuncture, a hot bath or infrared sauna, and using the outdoors as medicine. MY FAMILY AND I LIVE IN NEW YORK [since moving there in early 2022], so we make sure we have those moments where we balance out the craziness of the city with the calm of the beach or the snow. We’re all just so happy when we have that balance of nature and ocean. MY BEAUTY STYLE IS ’90S, for sure. I still use Pinterest and have a whole board of ’90s hair and makeup references I regularly pull from for photoshoots or red carpet ideas. “I’M INTO A HOLISTIC BEAUTY APPROACH: DIET, ACUPUNCTURE, A HOT BATH AND…

COLOUR CUES To keep my hair colour fresh, I use strengthening shampoo and conditioners that prevent colour fade and are dosed with strand-strengthening ingredients, without sulphates (which can dry out hair). This colour-safe duo from OGX fits the bill. It’s super hydrating and has a bonding complex that prevents damage and breakage and protects against UVA-and UVB-related colour fade. It’s an ideal budget buy to help keep my mane looking shiny from one colour appointment to the next. LOVE INTENSELY Gucci Bloom devotees might want to sit down for this exciting beauty update. The new Gucci Bloom Intense has just hit stores. Bursting with white florals (think jasmine, tuberose and orange blossom), fruity top notes and patchouli, moss and coconut rounding out the fragrance, this scent will bring floral fans…

From the work commute to Sunday brunch, few outerwear pieces are so versatile and inspire such confidence as Max Mara’s Teddy Bear coat. The perfect cover-up for a slip dress or off-duty denim, the cute, cosy and oh-so-cuddly Teddy Bear has proven itself time and time again as a must-have winter asset. Like most iconic wardrobe pieces, there’s a rich history woven through the fabric. In developing the coat in 2013, creative director Ian Griffiths turned to Max Mara’s 1980s archives, where he studied a plush pea coat of a similar style, originally developed using a material crafted in German mills. The fabric had typically been used in high-end children’s toys – including teddy bears, thus its namesake. But over time, the German mills ceased production and the original ’80s…

AUSTRALIA BREAST PRACTICE Fed up with social media censoring women’s bodies, Chloe de Winter, co-founder of the inclusive underwear label Nala, decided to float the idea of freeing the nipple on Melbourne’s Yarra River to call out tech conglomerate Meta’s strict nudity regulations. “We believe that our bodies aren’t inherently offensive – after all it’s just a boob!” says de Winter. AUSTRALIA YES to the DRESS Having a global pop star sport one of your designs might seem like the ultimate bucket-list item for any designer, but for Clothing The Gaps co-founder Laura Thompson, her sights are set closer to home. Inspired by the ongoing campaign for an Indigenous Voice to parliament, Thompson is creating a dress for the first Aboriginal Labor senator for Victoria, Jana Stewart (pictured above), intended…

THE BIG MELT What better way to make a statement about the loss of polar ice caps than by dropping 30 massive blocks of melting Arctic ice in major metropolitan cities? Danish artists Olafur Eliasson and Minik Rosing transported the glacial blocks – some weighing up to six tonnes – from Greenland to allow city-dwellers to view climate change in real life. Appearing at spaces such as the Tate Modern gallery in London (above), the Ice Watch installation aimed to inspire action: “Our mark, our footprint on the earth is real,” says Eliasson. “I am hopeful that we can create inner transformation and push for systemic change.” BUILDING BRIDGES So it turns out play can be an act of resistance. The Teeter-Totter Wall made global headlines in 2019, despite being…

A disturbing new trend has emerged as a result of the anti mean-girl movement and it’s seeing everyday women being abused and even doxxed (a form of cyberbullying). In late April, a video went viral on TikTok showing footage of account owner @jackieabonita posing for pictures at a Texas baseball game before noticing two women making fun of her a few rows behind. “Realising they are talking about me … feeling super self-conscious. I wanted to cry,” said the voiceover. In the caption of the clip, Jackie wrote: “Please be nice #meangirls#meangirlvibes.” Within a few hours of posting, the video had millions of views and an angry mob had formed in the comments, determined to take down the “mean girls”. Jackie disabled the comments but the horse had already bolted.…

You’re headlining several festivals this year including Palm Tree and FOMA. What do you love about festivals versus a standard tour? Festivals are always brilliant because [they are a way] to make new fans and to get people on my side. It feels like there’s a different kind of atmosphere at a music festival, because it’s half fans and people wanting to come see me, and then half people who don’t know anything about me. It’s kind of my chance to bring new people into my world. What is your dream festival lineup? Ooh, let me think about who I’ve been listening to. I love Libianca, her voice is like silk. If there was anyone I would want to collaborate with right now, it’s her. I just rediscovered The Knife…

NO.1 DE CHANEL This line of skincare, makeup and scented water from Chanel features the red camellia as its common thread. The unique active ingredient was not only close to founder Gabrielle Chanel’s heart, it is also known to help delay cell degradation and the signs of ageing on skin. The jury gave the line this special award for the innovative ingredient coupled with the clean formulas in eco-designed packaging that is low waste and light. “The life-changing range for coloured hair”- Lisa Oxenham, marie claire UK KÉRASTASE CHROMA ABSOLU Sad to see your colour fade with every wash?

Amainstay of the beauty landscape, endota is loved for its wellness offerings and soul-nurturing treatments. Relied upon by so many of us for its 110 (and counting) spa locations, the brand has embarked on a new and exciting chapter to showcase the beauty of diversity, the power of inner strength and the common connection between us all. For the brand’s nourish.nurture.you campaign, founder Melanie Gleeson has collaborated with three leading Australian photographers (and marie claire favourites) – Stephen Ward, Nicole Bentley and Jennifer Stenglein – to come up with the imagery for the new brand positioning. To capture an authentic beauty, each image was shot with no wardrobe, no hair or makeup, and photographers used only natural light. And because self-love rather than perfection was the aim, finished images were…

BLUE CRUSH Forget fifty shades of grey, we’re crushing on the full spectrum of blues from sky to navy. As anyone in the industry would know, colour trends – like cerulean – start on the runway. Ride the wave and splash different tones around your home. Far from giving you the blues, the colour helps neutralise melatonin levels, meaning it gives you energy when your melatonin is low in the morning and relaxes you at night when your melatonin is high. For those not sure about committing the whole house to the hue, the bedroom is a good place to start. IN THE BIG TOP Roll up! Roll up! Circuscore is loud, proud and taking over the trends discourse – and TikTok can’t get enough. After Barbiecore reigned supreme in…

It took less than one second to temporarily derail the iconic career Janet Jackson had been building for more than 30 years. Janet was famous from birth. The youngest child of the Jackson clan, she was joining her siblings on stage and on television by age seven. At 11, she had her first acting role, in the American sitcom Good Times. By 16, her father, Joseph, had secured her first record deal. Janet released two generic pop albums in the early ’80s that flopped, at the same time that her brother Michael (who was seven years older) was creating musical history – a fact not lost on her harsher critics. At 18 she eloped, the secret marriage (which lasted a year) an early sign of the defiance that would become…
