The Academy Award-nominated Australian actor (pictured above) sizzles in a slinky tank and sequined skirt by Prada, accessorised with glittering jewellery from French maison Van Cleef & Arpels. Her natural hair and makeup and a barefoot approach are perfect for balmy nights spent with close friends and family. To achieve Naomi’s glowing complexion, marie claire’s beauty director Sally Hunwick recommends layering Dr Barbara Sturm’s Glow Drops…

From the three grand slam titles to her name to the joys of becoming a mother for the first time, the remarkable tennis player made her mark on history in such a short amount of time. In a perfect match, the Australian sports legend has joined tennis legends from around the world including Linda Nosková and Cameron Norrie in Rado’s “Master of my Own Material” campaign, reflecting on her remarkable life on and off the court. “I fell in love with Rado timepieces when I was quite young and bought myself my first Centrix as a reward after winning a tournament,” says Barty. “It felt elegant and precise, and I still love to wear it now. It brings back happy memories of all my hard work leading up to winning…

1971 ANN-MARGRET “This photograph was taken in Las Vegas, where Ann-Margret was filming a television series. In those days, a photographer would spend two or three weeks with the subject and capture them in one place and then somewhere else. Over the course of these few weeks, she mentioned she had this bike and Douglas said he would love to shoot her riding it, so she had a truck bring it to Vegas from Los Angeles. I was driving the convertible while Douglas lay across the back to get the shot. I knew I’d have my head chopped off if I didn’t drive properly! When Douglas called out to Ann-Margret and said, “We’ve got the shot,” she went, “Weeeee” and kicked her legs out. That ended up being ‘the shot’.”…

After being laid off from her music industry job at the onset of the pandemic, Remi Bader signed up for a little thing called TikTok. Fast forward through one viral “realistic” try-on haul after the other, and the curve model became one of the most successful content creators on the platform, landing major deals with Victoria’s Secret PINK as a size consultant and a capsule collection with Revolve. But Bader doesn’t want her honesty to be mistaken for expertise or her candidness to equate to unabridged self-love. “Everyone very quickly started calling me ‘body positive Remi’. I didn’t care; I was excited. But over time, I realised I didn’t want to be put inside this body positive box. I don’t feel body positive at the moment and I never want…

“It was clear to me that there was this code of silence with menopause” By her own admission, Naomi Watts is a late bloomer. She didn’t land her breakout role in the David Lynch classic Mulholland Drive until she was 33, or give birth to her two children (Sasha and Kai) until she was aged 38 and 40. As for marriage, she got hitched for the first time, to actor Billy Crudup, only last year, at age 54. Having waited so long for what many consider important milestones, it was therefore discombobulating, not to mention upsetting, to find herself battling a challenging life event years ahead of her friends and colleagues. The English-born, Australian-raised actor was 36 and trying to get pregnant when tests revealed she was nearing menopause. “I…

1 According to Ticketek, 4 million people attempted to get tickets in the general sale. So although Taylor could have filled the MCG 40 times over, she’s playing just three nights there in mid-February. She will break the record for the largest audience over consecutive nights for the venue. 2 If you (like most fans) missed out on tickets but still want to get in on the action try “Taylor-gating”. Cities across the US saw swarms of fans gathering outside stadiums to listen to the concert from public spaces nearby. 3 Each night Taylor sings two surprise songs from her back-catalogue in what she calls “the acoustic section”. With very few left, Aussie fans thought it was going to be slim pickings, but then Taylor announced she is resetting the…

GO-TO BOOK RECOMMENDATION OH, THE PLACES YOU’LL GO BY DR SEUSS “It’s a great book for people on the cusp of something. It reminds us that failure and doubt are stepping stones to success, not barriers.” FAVOURITE BOOK-TO FILM ADAPTATION THE HOURS BY MICHAEL CUNNINGHAM “It is about women unable to live within the parameters set for them by others. A beautiful book, in conversation with literature, history and changing social conventions.” FAVOURITE PROTAGONIST TRIXIE BELDEN MYSTERY SERIES BY JULIE CAMPBELL TATHAM “I didn’t know it at the time, but she was an early feminist influence. She was the most important … because she was clever, kind and a natural leader who girls and boys followed.” The Dictionary of Lost Words has been adapted for the theatre. What has that…

Moving beyond the notion of “changing skin tones” and Cheetos-orange hues, the self-tan industry is becoming as elevated, inclusive and considered as the rest of your beauty routine. The shifting narrative embraces the sun-safe tan-alternative’s ability to protect skin and boost confidence. This is something US supermodel, body-positivity activist and St. Tropez global brand ambassador Ashley Graham knows well. Graham’s tanning ritual is “an integral part of making me feel red-carpet ready,” she says. “[My glam team and I] have done so many amazing looks over the years. They always help me get that beautiful tanned glow and make sure I’m covered evenly.” Isle of Paradise founder Jules Von Hep (responsible for Margot Robbie’s Barbie glow) founded his brand on a similar feel-good principle. “It was about empowering women to…

FRANCESCA HARTLEY St. Tropez Gradual Tan Watermelon Daily Firming Lotion, $37.99. My skincare routine (involving active serums) incorporates my neck and décolletage. The issue? I’ve found that traditional self-tan mousses often flake off the area prematurely. A gradual self-tanner that’s buildable and layers well with skincare has been a great solution. This one is ultra-hydrating and dosed with marine algae and antioxidants for bonus firming effects. NAOMI SMITH St. Tropez Self Tan Luxe Whipped Creme Mousse, $60. Instant and effortless results. I’m not the type of person to fake tan the night before, so I loved how easy this was to apply and be worn throughout the day. The immediate colour was dry-to-touch and left my skin feeling smooth and supple. The fact that I can do that before work…

WHAT IT I S Touted by many experts as one of the best technologies to lift and remodel both face and body without surgery, Morpheus8 uses a combination of skin needling (at the deepest layer of the skin) and radio frequency tech to work on the subdermal fibrous network of the skin to create lift, fullness and glow. THE ISSUES IT TACKLES Morpheus8 on the face can treat issues such as “skin laxity, acne scarring, and sun damage”, says Sanja Maria Murray, founder of Face by SM in Sydney, who offers the tech at her Mosman clinic. On the body, Murray says the treatment is great for skin laxity, crepey skin and working on “the appearance of cellulite”. THE PROS It’s bespoke. This treatment can be tailored to your needs…

My sister happily describes herself as a desert rose. It’s a cute moniker that rings true, so I’ve happily co-opted it. See, we grew up in the Mallee, in a town that is said to get more hours of sunshine per year than anywhere else. Forty-plus degree summers were the norm, and the sandy earth of the school playground was always warm – even in winter. It figures then that I don’t do well in the cold. Which is why I’m questioning my life choices as I stand waiting to submerge myself in a bar fridge-sized chest filled with sub-zero water. But I’m not the first to choose cold water therapy, and I won’t be the last. Dutch extreme athlete and motivational speaker Wim Hof put ice baths on the…

1 BATH RENAISSANCE Actor Emma Watson once stated that the secret to her calming demeanor was a daily bath. “I have a bath every single day of my life. And if I can have two or three – amazing,” she said. “Nothing terrible is going to happen in the bath.” Turns out she was ahead of the trend. Sure, a shower is more convenient, but research tells us that a bath simply hits different. “Warm baths promote relaxation by raising your core body temperature and lowering blood pressure,” says Dr Jeffrey Gladd, an integrative medicine specialist in the US. Since not everyone has a tub, the trend has seen thermal baths and bathhouses popping up around the world. So what are you waiting for? Jump in. 2 COSY CARDIO Great news!…

In 1993, 19-year-old Kate Moss told an interviewer, “I don’t want to carry on modelling as long as Lauren Hutton.” Hutton was 50 – the same age that Moss turns on January 16. Moss is still modelling (and, for the record, so is Hutton), walking Bottega Veneta’s spring/summer 2023 runway in Milan and fronting Kim Kardashian’s latest Skims underwear campaign. “Kate is the fashion icon,” said Kardashian. “She has a timeless influence that continues to define whole generations of culture and style.” There’s no denying Moss has incredible staying power. For 35 years, the famously private model’s motto, “Never complain, never explain,” has seen her thrive through intense criticism about her body, doomed relationships with Hollywood stars and musicians, and a drug scandal. She has long been one of the…

Welcome to our wellbeing issue. I’m sitting here typing away furiously on deadline with a coffee in hand. It’s a decaf oat cappuccino. Yes, I’m that person. That fussy, annoying, picky person whose coffee is as far from a standard flat white as you can get. Because that’s the world we live in now. We’re into all kinds of new milks. We eat and drink all kinds of strange things, from crickets to kombucha. We jump in ice baths because it makes us feel alive. We go on silent retreats where we don’t mutter a single word for 10 days to connect with ourselves in a world that is getting louder by the minute (you can read all about these extreme wellness experiences on page 150). Wellness isn’t just about…

One of the first trainers on Kayla Itsines’ Sweat App, Kelsey Wells is a fitness mogul with 3 million followers on Instagram. She discovered the power of exercise while struggling with postpartum anxiety following the birth of her son nine years ago, and has since built a following – and a business – by “redefining fitness”. Her journey to having a healthy relationship with her body hasn’t been linear, though, and it is still ongoing. “I was looking at a photo of myself from a shoot I did a few years ago, and it jarred me. I was so shredded, and at my very lowest body fat percentage. It was extreme, maybe even borderline unhealthy. Memories from the shoot day came flooding back. I remember waking up and feeling bloated…

Maia Mitchell has her hand wrist-deep in a 19th-century cadaver. Fortunately for the 30-year-old actor, she has not found herself caught in the throes of a historical crime or heading up a human sacrifice ritual. Instead, she is on the set of her latest project, The Artful Dodger, a TV series adaptation of the Charles Dickens novel Oliver Twist. “We referenced a lot of real surgical cases in the show, so we had to learn how to do all the operations,” recalls Mitchell. She plays Lady Belle Fox, the Governor’s daughter, who is determined to become the first female surgeon in the fictional Australian colony of Port Victory in the 1850s. “We had these prosthetic cadavers, which were so realistic they eventually had to dial it back because they were…

She’s the pint-sized former Disney star turned pop princess who famously became tabloid fodder when she was outed as “the other woman” in the Olivia Rodrigo/Joshua Bassett breakup. While Olivia had the jump on the story with several songs on her 2021 album Sour referencing the split and Sabrina’s apparent involvement, it would seem Sabrina took a note out of Taylor’s book and set the record straight in 2022 on her own hit album, Emails I Can’t Send. On the track “Because I Like a Boy” she sang: “I’m a homewrecker, I’m a slut. I got death threats filling up semi-trucks. Tell me who I am, guess I don’t have a choice, all because I liked a boy. And all of this for what? When everything went down, we’d already…

In a world where we are spoilt for choice with beauty products, there can be a tendency to overdo it. Add to that technology that’s racing ahead with in-clinic treatments, and there is the very real issue of pushing our complexion beyond its limits. What does that mean? It means more of us than ever before are ending up with sensitised skin and a compromised barrier. If you feel like you are hearing about your skin barrier a lot these days, you’re not wrong. Suddenly, doctors, aesthetic nurses and clinicians are seeing patient after patient coming in with inflamed, red and irritated skin (indicating a compromised skin barrier) that can no longer seem to tolerate anything being put on it at all. Orveda, a new luxury line of biotech skincare…

THE WHY My stomach, especially above my belly button, was lax after my second son and would “bunch up” in high waisted pants so I was keen to trial Morpheus8 to tighten things up. WHAT HAPPENED It has to be said that this treatment isn’t a walk in the park. While I was numbed with numbing cream, I found the process hot and “ouchy” from start to finish. The second session we numbed for longer and I practised deep breathing, which helped. The good news is, post-session my stomach just felt like it was moderately sunburnt and I was able to go right back to work. AFTERWARDS The body needles go deeper to stimulate collagen production and resurface skin, and there are more “pins” per shot (40 compared to 23…

GLOW ON I love the summer holidays but I also dream of getting to the European winter for some tree-lined ski runs. This year I’m staying put but I’m having the best of both worlds with Chanel’s new Les Beiges Collection, which pays homage to the winter months. It’s dosed with pearlescent particles, and I particularly love the primer as it gives my skin instant luminosity and blurs out imperfections. It’s available in three shades (I love the Light Copper) and the addition of jasmine-infused oil, camellia seed and hyaluronic acid plumps and protects my skin, in sun or snow. ONE SWIPE WONDER This polish contains celery seed extract, pomegranate and vitamins E and B to help restore, rebuild and protect nails while you look, well, polished. I love the…

“KENDALL JENNER RECENTLY BOUGHT HER OWN HYPERBARIC CHAMBER FOR AN ESTIMATED $US23,000” I’m sitting in a small, airtight capsule, the tension climbing as the red glow from a single countdown timer ticks over. I have 60 minutes inside the rocket-like chamber, which is being slowly pumped full of medical-grade oxygen. But rather than planning my great Houdini escape act, I’ve been instructed to sit tight and let my wellness expedition run its course. Climbing into a claustrophobic-inducing vessel might seem like an extreme route to take in the name of wellness, but I’ve been reassured by the clinician at Bionik Wellness that the destination is well worth the pre-journey jitters. Historically used to treat decompression sickness in scuba divers, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been used as a wellness treatment…

If there were a fashion label that captures the essence of an Australian summer, it would be Matteau. Created with love in Noosa by sisters Peta Heinsen and Ilona Hamer, the brand synonymous with cool-girl style has become a wardrobe essential since it first broke onto the resort scene in 2015, scoring celebrity followers along the way including actors Phoebe Tonkin and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. “Summer should be as relaxing as possible, so my wardrobe is always very classic and comfortable and always includes a black swimsuit, white shirt, black silk trousers or cotton shorts,” says Hamer. In hindsight, Hamer attributes the success of the label’s organic growth to a simple formula. “A lot of what we do is driven by what we feel is missing in our own wardrobes,” she…

We need to talk about self-love. Now, I know what you’re thinking: of course – it’s January – and reinvention and fresh starts are all that get shoved down our throats this time of year. Everything we hear is focused on making ourselves look good for the summer, kicking bad habits, putting insane amounts of pressure on ourselves to be new people and appearing to have fun while we do it on a cleanly curated highlight reel like Instagram. Yeah, no. That’s not what this is. People always love to say, “How can you expect someone else to love you (romantically) if you do not love yourself?” or “If you learn to love yourself, everything else will fall into place.” I don’t agree with the first idea, because sometimes I…

The body image space has come a long way since the days of “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”. It’s been 15 years since Kate Moss first shared that mantra – and a lot of work has been done between then and now. From the swell of body positivity in the 2010s, we’re shifting towards a state of body neutrality: where we accept and respect our bodies as the physical vessels they are without focusing on the way they look. At its core, the concept of body neutrality is one of existing in our skin without thinking negatively or positively about the exterior. It’s of being at peace as is. The tide may have turned, but the body neutrality movement is still rising. We’re not there yet. We still…

When an episode of Sex and the City showed Samantha (Kim Cattrall) attempting to return a “neck massager” because it failed to “get her off”, the ripple effect was astounding. This was 2002 and, although such sex toys had existed for decades, it was one of the first times we’d seen them, shamelessly, in popular culture. As a result, sales of The Magic Wand – the microphone-shaped massager that Samantha appeared to be using – went through the roof. A similar product placement for The Rampant Rabbit would see sales jump by a claimed 700 per cent annually. It’s been more than 50 years since The Magic Wand launched in America, initially marketed as a massager before word spread that it had other uses. To this day, the brand reports…

You’re starring in the film All of Us Strangers. It’s an incredibly nuanced story of loss, loneliness, love and the persistence of grief. I connected with the idea of someone whose parents have died. We had a really traumatic loss in my family when I was very young, so I really felt that in a way. The fundamental principle of loving someone is that you have to accept that you’re going to, at some point, be deeply wounded by it. We often think about the opportunity to talk to someone who has passed. I loved how the film unpacked what those conversations might look like. It’s interesting being on the other side of the coin, playing a mother who didn’t get to see their child grow up or learn that…

What was your reaction to the film Mean Girls being remade? At first I felt a lot of pressure because when you hear about something iconic being remade or adapted you feel like you have to live up to the original. It was terrifying, so I had to reframe it in my mind from trying to re-create something great, to just making something new. Which was your favourite line to do? It was cool to talk about October 3, because that’s one of those lines that’s so iconic and has become a meme. Tina Fey wrote the original 2004 script and has returned to produce and star in this musical version. What was it like working with Tina? I grew up in a house where we watched a lot of Saturday…

NEW YORK BEAUTY ETHOS One of the most multicultural cities in the world, New York inspires just about everyone who visits, while also allowing for plenty of self-expression. “Bustling New York City was my inspiration for Manhattan parfum,” says perfumer Roja Dove, founder of Roja Parfums. “Like light shining on the Chrysler Building, when you smell this creation it evokes freshness and brightness thanks to the bergamot, lavender and basil. A brisk, bright, breezy fragrance with enormous strength of character.” CITY NOTES New York is also the city that never sleeps. “Notes of tobacco adds a smokiness that pays homage to the Roaring Twenties,” says Dove. “YOU FEEL SEXIER, YOU WALK A LITTLE TALLER, AND YOU BELIEVE THAT ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE”– Roja Dove on connecting with a scent BYRON BAY…

Each morning and night, Graham likes to apply the St. Tropez Self Tan Luxe Body Serum all over. “It’s super lightweight and glides effortlessly on the skin,” she says. “I can quickly apply it and I’m ready for my day. Also I don’t have to worry about it staining my clothes. After applying it at night, I wake up golden and refreshed, with no mess left on my sheets. It has so many great vitamins and hydration effects too. [After the serum,] I’m ready for the St. Tropez Luxe Tan Tonic Drops. I usually apply about two to three drops directly on the skin to achieve that sun-kissed glow. I then use the St. Tropez Purity Bronzing Water Face Mist on my hands and feet.” GRAHAM’S ULTIMATE HACK “Put a…

MY FIRST TRIMESTER OF PREGNANCY WAS a little challenging. You forget what it’s like, even though I’ve had three other children. But I’m feeling really grateful and blessed to be able to bring another little soul into this world. It is quite a miracle. WHILE I’M PREGNANT I USE my products, like the Kora Organics Noni Glow Body Oil and Body Lotion for stretch marks. I’m consistent with my skincare too. I’ve used the Noni Bright Vitamin C Serum for my past three pregnancies, [as] you can get pigmentation when you are pregnant. MY MUM ALWAYS TAUGHT ME to clean my face well before going to bed every night. Even if you haven’t had makeup on … I double cleanse with the Kora Milky Mushroom Cleansing Oil and Turmeric Glow…

If faced with the choice of a luxurious week in the Maldives or a five-night silent retreat with single beds, mundane chores and a shared, freezing bathroom, I will choose the silent retreat every time. Driven by a perpetual quest for perfection, I love my job as a photographer. It’s amid a busy photoshoot that I feel most in my element. I am also a mother of three. At work, I’m always cool, calm and in control, but increasingly I found myself losing my patience with my kids, to the point of thinking I need some help. A few friends suggested I try mushrooms or an ayahuasca ceremony, but I’m way too much of a control freak for that. Then I stumbled on silent retreats. The idea of being in…
