Woman's Day 18 January 2016

Want to know how my New Year’s resolution to quit sugar is going? Besides the four Fantales on day one and the sneaky Kit Kat on day four... well, it’s killing me! So I’m switching camps (yes, already – don’t judge me!). It’s all about the No-Diet Diet in 2016, and at Woman’s Day we’re on board in a big way. All your faves – spaghetti bolognese, fish and chips, even biscuits – are allowed. It’s all the rage in the UK and the US, so if you want to lose up to a kilo a week, start with our eight-page special (p54), which outlines the rules, meals and treats. In other new year news, how cute is Prince George?! We all oohed and aahed when his first-day-at-school photos landed.…

Petra Nemcova The mighty mermaid silhouette is always a winner on a tall willowy supermodel, right? Petra is pretty close to perfect in this tasteful teal Femme d’Armes body-hugger, but her casually cascading mane and blase beads aren’t as fab as the frock. Too picky? Miranda Kerr Adding equal parts sugar and spice, Miranda is every bit the saucy milkmaid in this sweet and sassy A-line frilliness from Vatanika. Armed with an oversized pink Samantha Vega purse, the Gunnedah girl looks ready to sashay through the Easter parade! Zendaya Would you be surprised to find out her nana made this quirky and crocheted prissy pinafore for her? OK, she didn’t (it’s by Self-Portrait), but there’s something old-fashioned about the fussy frills and silly sleeves that just doesn’t mix with the…

It’s a milestone in the life of any child, and for Prince George, his first day at preschool was no different. The cheeky prince, who’s two-and-a-half this month, took his first big step into school life last week. He arrived without fanfare for day one as a student at Westacre Montessori School in Norfolk, dressed in a cute blue parka and armed with a light-blue backpack. Continuing their habit of breaking from royal tradition, his parents the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge kept George’s first day a private affair. Kate, 34, and William, 33, were both there to see George off, driving him to the relatively isolated school from their home in Norfolk. As she has in the past, proud mum Kate captured the moment on camera, taking two cute…

While George was treated like all the other boys and girls on his first day, his dad Prince William received a royal send-off. He and his younger brother Prince Harry, 31, were the first royals not to be educated at the palace, a directive from mum Princess Diana. But their first day was far more official and reporters were notified in advance. Unlike Kate, who opted to send George in casual attire, Diana dressed William in a collared shirt and jumper.…

‘I haven’t been keeping a tally or weighing myself since giving birth’ Karise Eden hums with happiness as she flaunts her post-baby body for the first time since giving birth to son Blayden, who recently celebrated his first birthday. “I’m feeling pretty confident in my body at the moment,” she says with a smile, after shedding 21 kilos over 12 months. “My body changed when I became a mum – but now when I look in the mirror I think, ‘Hey, hot mama! You’re looking good,’” laughs the singer-songwriter, who gained 30kg during pregnancy. Now, The Voice 2012 winner – who is making her comeback with a new tour following her album launch – says, “I’m proud of my tiger stripes on my tummy. That was my son’s home once.”…

‘She shed a lot of tears… but she’s pleased she’s broken the ice’ Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise have shocked fans by meeting up in London, just weeks after what would have been their 25th wedding anniversary. During a brief visit to the UK, Tom, 53, is said to have reunited with his former wife for a hush-hush dinner he was hoping would remain private. It’s the first time the former couple have been face-to-face in close to 15 years, and they’ve barely spoken since Tom ended their marriage in early 2001. Their meeting is shocking in itself, but the reason Tom asked to see his ex-wife, who he was married to for 10 years, is even more surprising. According to an insider, Tom desperately wanted to talk about the…
