While it seems like everybody is living their best lives in Europe, I’m a big fan of the staycation. In fact, I’ve just returned to the WHO office after a two-week holiday, no passport required. A long weekend in the Hunter Valley, some time with family in Melbourne and a Monday morning cinema trip to see Barbie felt so relaxing to me! That’s not to say I didn’t feel a tiny pang when I looked at pics of our favourite celebs on their own super luxe vacays. See all the envy-inducing and/or holiday-inspiring pics from page 24. Another great reason to be at home right now? The FIFA Women’s World Cup. How good is it? Regardless of how our Matildas finish up in the comp, I think we…

With Natalie Portman in Australia to attend a sports summit and husband Benjamin Millepied back in the US, the couple’s 11th wedding anniversary on August 4 came and went without any celebration. In fact, after the 42-year-old actress was spotted out in Sydney on the special day sans her rings, it is believed the pair have called it quits after cheating allegations were levelled against the French dancer and choreographer earlier this year. “After news of his affair came out, they’ve been trying to work on their marriage but are currently on the outs,” an insider told Us Weekly of the couple, who share a son, Aleph,12, and daughter, 6-year-old Amalia. In June, French magazine Voici reported that Millepied was having an affair with 25-year-old climate activist Camille Étienne. “Natalie…

It has been two decades since The O.C. hit the small screen on August 5, 2003. The stars of the beloved high-school drama, which for four seasons followed the twists and triumphs of troubled teen Ryan Atwood (played by Benjamin McKenzie), who is transplanted to posh Orange County, California, took to social media to mark the milestone. “I keep showing my kids pics to prove how cool I used to be, but for some reason, they don’t seem to get it,” McKenzie, 44, who has three children with actor Morena Baccarin, captioned an Instagram photo of himself and co-star Adam Brody. “Still cool,” commented cast mate Melinda Clarke, who played mum to Mischa Barton’s Marissa Cooper. Clarke and Rachel Bilson, who played Summer Roberts, have re-introduced the series to a…

Two months before Sofía Vergara exchanged vows in 2015 with Magic Mike star Joe Manganiello in front of 350 guests during a lavish $4.5 million wedding at Breakers Palm Beach resort in Florida, her Modern Family co-star Julie Bowen summed up their fiery relationship. “He’s like a caveman with her,” the actress told Us Weekly. “She’s so strong and so [used to] calling the shots all the time, and then you see them together, and there’s a part of her that kind of melts. It just warms your heart when you see that because it’s not all the time that you can tell that there’s an aspect to this relationship that’s very – how shall we say? – primal.” After almost eight years of marriage, however, the dynamic stopped working,…

When Emily Riggs launched her fashion brand, Iris & Wool, she was worried she’d taken on too much. As well as juggling life as a mum to her son Sam, now 5, and daughter Lucy, 2, Emily also helps husband Tom, a 35-year-old fifth-generation sheep farmer, manage 15,000 merino sheep across their four properties in Burra, South Australia. But Emily understands more than most why it’s so important to chase your dreams. At 10, she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. She then lost her mother to breast cancer shortly afterwards. But it’s her personal story, underscored by tragedy, that has given the 34-year-old creative director a fierce determination to fulfil her goals, no matter how busy she is. “I remember Mum and Dad were by my bedside in hospital when…

THE TOP Long sleeves are a must for colder months, but mix things up with a mesh top, versatile for both day and night. Try styling with another hero of the season – the midi skirt. Pick denim for a casual look with chunky boots, and switch for something a little more utility-esque with colourful accessories in the evening. AM PM THE DRESS The dress to buy right now is a fitted mesh style in a flattering midi length. Easily pared down for a daytime look, try throwing a chunky knit over the top and add sneakers and a tote. For night, let the dress be the star of the show. Perfect for any occasion, wear with a simple blazer, boots and statement earrings for an elegant look. AM PM…

Have you been focusing more on your daily skincare routine of late and less on the type of foundation you are (or aren’t) wearing? Well, we’re here to tell you that you can, in fact, enjoy the benefits of both. Skinimalism, as it’s now been coined, is the trend of simply using fewer products in your beauty routine for skin that glows – and looks anything but cakey. Here’s what to look for to help streamline your routine. STRONG FOUNDATIONS Makeup brands have adapted their foundation formulas so that they not only provide an immaculate your-skin-but-better finish, but also contain ingredients that help give skin some extra love and nourishment throughout the day. From hyaluronic acid to rosehip oil and vitamin C, there’s a whole range of beneficial properties in…

Jimmy Nicholson kissed his bachelor days goodbye for good after tying the knot with Holly Kingston. The couple wed during an intimate ceremony at his family home in Palm Beach on August 5, before heading to Pasadena Sydney restaurant for the reception. “We had an incredible day,” the 33-year-old pilot tells WHO. The travel show presenter bride, 28, looked stunning in a simple low back white gown by Anna Campbell. “I walked down to an acoustic version of ‘Feels Like Home’ as one of Jimmy’s best mates, all the way from NYC, sang for us,” Kingston told Vogue Australia online. “We both shed a tear, surrounded by family and friends.” The big day came two years after they met on Ten’s reality dating show The Bachelor in 2021. But the…

Since arriving in Sydney to start uni on July 31, Count Nikolai is wasting no time settling into the Australian way of life. On August 5, the 23-year-old royal, who is seventh in line to the Danish throne, cut a casual figure as he walked through Ultimo with a friend after grabbing a coffee. Nikolai, who was stripped of his princely title by grandmother Queen Margrethe on January 1, is spending a semester studying at the University of Technology, Sydney. His girlfriend, Benedikte Thoustrup, has also enrolled. The count has wasted no time in taking in the local sights. On July 31, he shared a snap he’d taken of Sydney Tower Eye, which is located close to his campus in Ultimo. He was also in the crowd on August 7…

She may have grown up in a mega-mansion nicknamed “The Manor”, but Tori Spelling has swapped luxury living for van life of late. The 50-year-old has been spotted staying in a campervan with her five children, with insiders revealing the family’s ongoing mould problem in their rental home and Spelling’s money issues are the cause of their new living situation. “Tori has been struggling,” a source told Entertainment Tonight. “The mould situation is real, and it has been difficult for her to find a place to stay during it because her financial situation is not great.” Spelling, along with her kids, Liam, 16, Stella, 15, Hattie, 11, Finn, 10, and Beau, 6, had also been staying in a $150-a-night Los Angeles motel before they were photographed setting up camp in…

KATY PERRY & ORLANDO BLOOM Seven years after meeting at a Golden Globes afterparty, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have proven there are still plenty of fireworks in their relationship. The pair were spotted sharing smooches while holidaying in the south of France recently, clearly still as loved up as all those years ago. Joining them on their Saint-Tropez vacation were the couple’s 2-year-old daughter Daisy Dove and Bloom’s 12-year-old son with ex-wife Miranda Kerr, Flynn. The family-of-four kept busy during their idyllic stay, hitting the water on paddleboards and playing in the sand. With busy careers, the holiday was a chance for Perry, 38, and Bloom, 46, to relax and “recharge”, as the actor captioned a series of snaps from the trip on Instagram. It could’ve also been a…

Filming Wes Anderson’s latest movie Asteroid City in Spain, actress Maya Hawke says she was enjoying herself so much that she was “devastated” when her role wrapped. Enter Anderson: “He said, ‘Well, what do you have to do tomorrow?’ And I said, ‘Nothing’. He said, ‘OK, give me a minute.’ And then he walked back from his balcony and went into his room, and he wrote me into another scene, just as an extra, but about a week later,” she tells WHO. “I think I wrapped the film two times because I kept just asking if I could stay and be an extra in more scenes.” As the daughter of Hollywood superstars Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, the 25-year-old star wants to stick around in the industry as long as…

Spring is traditionally the time when we ramp up our fitness plans, but there’s no need to wait until then. With the coldest part of winter now out of the way, the days are starting to get longer, and the crisp days can even help to take some of the heat out of cardio workouts. Jono Castano from Acero gym, who counts celebs such as Rebel Wilson, Rita Ora and Laura Dundovic as clients, says there’s no right or wrong moment to start setting health and wellness goals. In fact, it’s the reason why he called his upcoming book It Starts Today. “If you decide tomorrow, ‘Hey, I want to kickstart my goals,’ then that’s the right time,” he says. SET REALISTIC TARGETS “One of the biggest mistakes I see…

THE STRUCTURED BAG To invest in arm candy that will last years to come, look for structured shapes in timeless colours. Crossbodies and shoulder bags are never going to go out of style and will work with endless outfits. THE STRAIGHT JEANS If there’s one pair of jeans you need in your wardrobe, it’s a straight-legged style. Not too loose and not too tight, the in-between shape flatters all body types. Layer with a chunky knit to stay cosy or add slingback heels for evening drinks. Tip Take a pair of shoes you’d love to wear with your new jeans to the shops. This will help make sure you find the perfect length. THE BRIGHT JUMPER Make adding colour to your outfits easier with a bright jumper – comfy, cosy…

While we often associate breakouts with our teenage years, pesky spots can still follow us well into adulthood with stress, medication, genetics and fluctuating hormones (hello, menopausal acne!) being just a few causes. But as our skin matures, the way we go about treating breakouts also changes. To make sure you’re choosing the right products, we break down the dos and don’ts of dealing with grown-up spots. MYTH: SUNSCREEN CAUSES BREAKOUTS Applying SPF everyday has been drilled into us for years – and for good reason. Sun protection is vital for keeping mature skin healthy as it helps prevent against the drying effects of the sun and smooth wrinkles. If you’re worried that applying sunscreen over pimples will further clog or irritate your skin, fear not! Simply choose a lightweight,…

Nothing goes better with chilly nights and open fires – or just the humble heater – than a lovely glass of red wine. It seems to warm you from the inside out, pairs perfectly with hearty meals and makes you wish the winter months to never end. Angus Wardlaw, head winemaker at Millon Wines, tells WHO the perfect winter wines are generally heavier and richer, served at warmer temperatures, and are deeper in colour and less fruity. Matching your winter food to the right wine is key. “Winter foods tend to be heartier and contain more meat and fat, so the wine you pair with them needs to be strong enough to stand up to and cut through the bold and savoury flavours,” says Wardlaw. And larger glasses are best…

who’s news It broke box office records in its first weekend, and three weeks later, the world still can’t get enough of Barbie. Now, filmmaker Greta Gerwig, 40, is breaking records, becoming the first woman to direct a movie by herself that has broken the US$1 billion mark. It’s a milestone achievement her leading lady and Barbie co-producer, Margot Robbie, 33, always had faith Gerwig would achieve. “I told them that it’d make a billion dollars, which maybe I was overselling, but we had a movie to make, okay?!“ Robbie told Collider. As for a sequel, Gerwig is game. “I want to go back to Barbie Land,” she told People.…

who’s news Just four months after announcing their split, Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth are officially single. The former spouses finalised their divorce on August 2. Despite the 47-year-old actress and filmmaker’s wealth which is estimated to be over $600 million, the pair were rather amicable. Witherspoon and the producer, 53, agreed to joint custody of their 10-year-old son Tennessee and neither will receive child or spousal support. They also agreed to never “speak badly of each other or the members of the family of the other parent” in court documents obtained by website The Blast. Sounds like Brad and Ange could learn a lesson here. “It’s a vulnerable time for me,” Witherspoon told US Harper’s Bazaar magazine. “I think about how many other people are going through this experience.…

Expecting their second child, tennis star Serena Williams and her husband, Alexis Ohanian, who are already parents to 5-year-old daughter Olympia, threw a spectacular gender reveal party at their Palm Beach, Florida, mansion on July 31. The event was attended by the couple’s closest family and friends, including Serena’s older sister Venus and her father Richard. “Obviously, I’m team pink,” the tennis ace, 41, said in a clip shared on YouTube. “I’m a little nervous because I don’t have any contingency plan if it turns out to be a boy.” She needn’t have worried. A drone display lit up the sky and spelled out, “IT’S A … GIRL!” much to the delight of the couple. “Olympia is so excited to have a baby sister,” Ohanian, 40, captioned the clip on…

For three years, Sandra Bullock and the “love of her life”, Bryan Randall, have feared the day would eventually come that he’d succumb to the devastating degenerative disease ALS. With just loved ones and his medical team aware of his incredible health battle, the news of his death aged 57 on August 5 sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry. Two days after his passing, the photographer’s family shared the painful secret. “Bryan chose early to keep his journey with ALS private and those of us who cared for him did our best to honour his request,” his family shared in a statement to People magazine. They added their immense gratitude “to the tireless doctors who navigated the landscape of this illness with us and to the astounding nurses who became…

ZOE SALDANA Zoe Saldaña was all about bringing the fun on her recent family vacation to Italy – and what better way to do that than with a giant, inflatable unicorn? The Avatar star was joined by her three kids and hubby Marco Perego. MICHAEL & CZJ Catherine Zeta-Jones, 53, and Michael Douglas, 78, have been living la dolce vita of late, with the longtime couple enjoying a dinner out with pals in Portofino, Italy on July 31.

After finishing top of her year at her high school, teenager Niamh Maye left her home in Armidale, NSW on February 14, 2002, for a gap-year working holiday, fruit picking in the south of the state. Weeks later, the 18-year-old disappeared while trying to make her way home for Easter, in what has become an enduring source of despair for her family. “She was looking forward to studying and travelling – on the cusp of adult life,” Niamh’s sister Susan Maye tells WHO from her home in Melbourne. “My sister was kind and funny, the life of the party. She was a bright light.” A light that continues to shine in the hearts of her family. Since Niamh’s presumed murder 21 years ago, her parents Anne and Brian, and her…

For something that involves doing very little, meditation can be surprisingly stressful. One minute you’re trying to clear your mind, and the next you’re worrying about tomorrow’s work deadlines and if it’s OK or not to scratch your nose. However, this doesn’t mean you’re failing some sort of test. In fact, Kimberly Rose Kneier, director of wellness at Como Shambhala Estate in Bali, says those racing thoughts aren’t something you should be worrying about – they can actually be a sign you’re on the right track. “I feel like the biggest misconception people have around meditation is that it’s all about stopping your thoughts,” Kneier says. “Meditation is about cultivating a state of awareness and observing your thoughts without judgement, and bringing yourself back to the present moment over and…

ARIES MAR. 20–APR. 18 In 1933, US president Franklin D. Roosevelt uttered some very wise words: “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”. There’s a reason why people still repeat this.

TAURUS APR. 19–MAY 20 There’s an interesting contrast in your horoscope chart right now. For every upsetting thing that happens to you, there can be something wonderful, which happens as well.

When was the last time you laughed until you cried? Likely with my Seven Racing co-host Jason Richardson. It was something to do with a Wizard of Oz movie impersonation and I completely lost the plot. Hysterical. What was the last thing you learned about yourself?

I have two children 18 months apart. It happens often, usually when one has…
