T he atmosphere was electric ahead of the premiere of Girls of the Sun, the only female-directed movie in competition at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, on Day 5 of the prestigious annual event. With the disco anthem “I’m Every Woman” blaring, the crowd was pumping, but the real primer was a historic demonstration that preceded the premiere, when jury president Cate Blanchett led a women’s march up the red carpet. “On these steps today stand 82 women representing the number of female directors who have climbed these stairs since the first edition of the Cannes Film Festival in 1946,” said the Oscar winner. “In the same period 1,688 male directors have climbed these very same stairs.” Surrounded by colleagues including fellow jury members Salma Hayek and Kristen Stewart, the…

AS LOIS LANE TO CHRISTOPHER Reeve’s Superman, she was a smart, quirky, decidedly feminist leading lady who could go toe-to-toe with the Man of Steel. Offscreen, Margot Kidder lived a difficult life with no apologies. Even after a public breakdown in 1996, when she was found among the homeless in LA—dishevelled, teeth missing and suffering from a manic episode—the star was candid about her mental-health issues. “She had no qualms about being exactly who she was,” says her longtime friend Cara Wilder. That ended on May 13, when Kidder was found dead in her home in Livingston, Montana, at age 69 (at press time, her cause of death was being investigated and no foul play was suspected). While one report suggested she was battling the flu, Wilder says she seemed…

A day before Roseanne Barr’s WHO photo shoot near her farm on the island of Hawaii, her boyfriend of 15 years, composer Johnny Argent, found her absorbed in a less glamorous activity. “Most millionaires don’t scrub their own floors at home all day,” he wryly observed. But Barr, 65, likes getting her hands dirty. “Nobody is going to do your work for you,” says the comedian and firebrand. “You have to do it yourself.” That’s Barr’s climb to stardom in a nutshell: the scrapper who went from struggling stand-up comedian to creator of one TV’s greatest sitcoms. She has sometimes risked self-destruction by saying exactly what is on her mind. But with the revival of Roseanne (airing on Ten), she seems to have it all: a Hawaiian macadamia farm, a…

“I am just one of those people that crazy things happen to” Busy Philipps has been a working actress for 20 years—but it’s Instagram that made her a superstar. She realised just how much her funny, candid posts have changed her life on a recent family trip to Charleston, South Carolina. “People were stopping their cars in the middle of the street and yelling, ‘I need to take a picture of you,’ ” says the actress, 38. “I felt like, ‘Oh my God, I’m Selena Gomez!’ ” She was also shocked to hear from some famous superfans. “Miley Cyrus just told me she is obsessed with my Instagram,” she says, “and Julia Roberts is too. It’s so wild!” No-one is more surprised by her new level of fame than Philipps…

Sensitive skin is becoming more and more prevalent and one of the most common skincare complaints. Emma Hobson, education manager for the International Dermal Institute and Dermalogica, shares her insights on why sensitive skin is on the rise and how to combat irritating side effects. When it comes to irritation, there are various factors, internal and external, that contribute to sensitivity in the skin—the big one being our environment and the rise in pollution, Hobson says. “In addition, lifestyle stressors, hormonal fluctuations and other environmental factors such as weather conditions—extreme cold, dryness, indoor heating or air conditioning,” cause irritation, she notes. “Then there’s smoking, alcohol, poor diet, medical procedures and even over-processed or exfoliated skin,” which, Hobson says, all contribute to sensitisation. Be mindful of the products that you are…

Brother and sister powerhouse duo Camilla Freeman-Topper and Marc Freeman launched their first collection with MBFWA 15 years ago: “Back in 2003, we launched our business through MBFWA, it was an exhilarating time, we were young and ambitious and it brings back very great memories and excitement for us entering into this year’s fashion week.” This year, Camilla and Marc opened the inaugural event with an installation made up of 80 tonnes of sand, a front-row full of A-listers such as Elsa Pataky and internationally renowned models walking the runway.

THE SHAPE OF WATER STARRING: Sally Hawkins It’s a good thing Hawkins is such an expressive actress, because playing a mute cleaner who falls for a strange creature locked up in a research facility in 1960s Baltimore is a tough gig few could handle. But Hawkins soars, as she grows from shy dormouse to powerful heroine in Guillermo del Toro’s stunning fable that will have you rooting for inter-species love.  (Out now) THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI STARRING: Frances McDormand McDormand is fierce as a mother whose rage at the unsolved murder of her daughter is all-consuming.

1 His interest in interiors started early. “Children, particularly, are always looking to define their space,” he says.“I remember having a fight with my mother because I really wanted a purple ceiling. She was absolutely appalled, so we compromised on a blue one.” 2 He has two very specific passions away from the world of design. “Gin and my wife,” he says. “Actually, maybe it should be the other way around, but no, I’m going to stick with that. Somehow, gin makes my wife even better.” 3 Although he is a wallpaper connoisseur ... Such is Laurence’s fondness for creative coverings that he’s launched his own easy-to-apply range.“You paste the wall—you don’t even paste the paper, so I mean, it is unbelievably easy,” he says.“I’m creating walls for you.” 4…

AFTER TOUCHING DOWN IN SYDNEY on May 6 with daughters Sunday, 9, and Faith, 7, Nicole Kidman was joined two days later by husband Keith Urban, 50. Having Urban by her side is essential for the actress. Despite tabloid talk of a split and busy schedules (she’s working on Season 2 of Big Little Lies, he’s rehearsing to tour his latest album), “We always consider the ‘us,’ ” Kidman, 50, has said of their almost 12-year marriage. “We say, ‘Is this going to be good for us?’ It’s the simplest phrase, but it works.” That consideration also extends into planning their free time with family. On May 12, the unit of four spent a day out together in North Sydney, stopping by a bookshop before ducking into a café. Later,…

SAM PERRY, THE ELECTRIFYING VOCAL-loop artist who got through to the live performances of Nine’s The Voice as part of Kelly Rowland’s team after copping flak from Boy George for being“not a singer,” tells WHO there wasn’t anything controversial about his September engagement to girlfriend Liberty Hills: “We had an island to ourselves in Borneo, and I proposed to her there.” The Perth-based actress, 26, who started dating Sam, 28, nearly eight years ago, says the pair had spent a day of snorkelling and hiking with Sam’s cousin Tom and his girlfriend, Lucy, before they relaxed with some whiskey and favourite songs by a bonfire.“It was a really magical evening,” says Liberty.“I cried when he got down on one knee, and for about 10 minutes after…

It’s me saying,‘Here I am. Take it or leave it,’”says Harris.“And not being…

Her May 19 wedding to Prince Harry may be the most anticipated event of the decade, but there was a time when Meghan Markle might not have looked twice at the once wayward royal—writes Andrew Morton in Meghan: A Hollywood Princess, his biography of the former Suits star.

In the following extract, Morton unpacks what happened when Harry met Meghan.

Congratulations on your ambassador role with Bioré I absolutely love being a Bioré ambassador. I get to try all these amazing products and then gush about why I love them, so it’s a dream job for me. Plus, I have been a fan of Bioré since I started using the pore strips with friends back in high school. Have you always been interested in skincare? Yes. My mother was raised in the Philippines and has such great skin and she instilled in me from a very early age how important a good skin care regimen is. Has being in the public eye made you diligent about your skin? Totally. I became really aware of it when we were shooting Pretty Little Liars because I was in full makeup every single…

Stress is a common complaint affecting many people on a daily basis, in different ways. It’s a chemical reaction in your body that occurs when the stress hormone, cortisol is released. ARE THERE GOOD AND BAD FORMS? Cortisol is a vital hormone produced and secreted by the adrenal glands. It maintains steady blood sugar levels and helps provide energy to your functioning brain and neuromuscular system. When the body is under physical and psychological stress, cortisol levels surge to help you cope. It’s beneficial in the short-term, but excessive stress can be damaging. LUCAS’S KEY TIPS TO MANAGE STRESS: • Keep a to-do list to keep you from stressing about remembering what needs to be done. A notebook by your bed is also good to remove thoughts from your mind in…

What do you enjoy most about meeting with MasterChef Australia’s contestants? As a food-obsessed person, I really enjoy being in a room with so many enthusiastic like-minded people. It’s inspiring, too. It’s so fascinating getting to know the contestants through their food and cooking, and to see how hard they work and how keen they are to learn. I also must say that being fed by them is a wonderful privilege. You toured Australia with social researcher Hugh Mackay to talk about the role food has in our cultural life. Why was that important for you? I have always believed that food is more than mere fuel: it’s social history, it has enormous emotional weight, and it tells the story of who we are and how…

As a musician and movie star with children, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban take turns as the ‘cool parent,’ Urban joked to The Project on May 10. “It depends on who’s got the better food. I’ve got catering on tour and mum’s got craft services on the set,” he said. “I’ve got the advantage of having the tour bus and they really love the tour bus. Beats a trailer.” Kidding aside, “My children get to travel, they get to see things that they would normally not,” Kidman has said. “I sometimes feel bad they’re taken out of school, and they’re travelling around, but ... I want to keep us together.”…

AS HER FIRST MOTHER’S DAY AS A MUM approached, Khloé Kardashian immersed herself in motherhood in the wake of her man’s cheating scandal. Despite speculation she would travel to Boston with Tristan Thompson, 27, for the NBA play-offs, she stayed in Cleveland, Ohio, with their daughter—and shared her baby’s face with fans. “Happy 1 month old, mama,” said Kardashian in a video, which showed True looking to camera with a flower superimposed over her right cheek. “I love you, pretty girl.” Kardashian also addressed her name choice, crediting her grandmother Mary Jo “MJ” Houghton with the moniker. “Picking a name for your child is really so tough!” posted the new mum, 33. “I knew I wanted my baby to have a ‘T’ initial, so one night while we were all…

ALTERNATE SIDE ANNA QUINDLEN Simon & Schuster With her signature wisdom and wit, Quindlen takes readers on a romp through a New York postcode many would kill to call home.

SHAUN MICALLEF Host Mad as Hell’s Shaun Micallef, 55, is back at the helm of the zeitgeist panel show. What was the first concert you attended? I think it was INXS in 1980 at the Adelaide University Bar. We didn’t pay much attention to them, engrossed as we were in how clever we were. How would you describe your teenage fashion sense? A blue zip-up tracksuit top with a red-and-white stripe down the arm, checked shirt, cord jeans, white socks and beige kayaks. This was not a choice. It was just what was in the cupboard. Who would you kiss, marry and avoid out of these ladies of the ’70s: Farrah Fawcett, Susan Sarandon and Raquel Welch? Hang on a minute. In 1970 I was only 8 years…

How did you enjoy your first Academy Awards ceremony? In a way, it’s very much like the BAFTAs here, but it’s sort of bigger, it’s shinier, and it’s full of, you know, American movie stars! What’s it like behind the scenes? The commercial breaks are quite funny. Everybody gets up and jumps around, goes and speaks to their friends and goes out and gets a drink, so there’s a bit of a party atmosphere. How was it to play opposite Daniel Day-Lewis? We had a glorious time. We got on very well, so that made it very easy to create this brother and sister who were very close and codependent. You’ve often worked with director Mike Leigh but what’s next for you? I’m doing a film called Normal…

BICKMORE: Terrible. Smartphones, selfies and social media would have destroyed me. I was already insecure and I am so glad the world didn’t get to see it. LITTLE: Badly. I’m so glad the photos from my greasy years are hard copy. What’s something you’re scared of but would like to try? BICKMORE: Any height-related challenge—bungee jumping, skydiving, high-wire walking. LITTLE: Monogamy. What song do you belt at the top of your lungs when driving?
