She may be a drop-dead gorgeous movie star, but when Margot Robbie admitted she can’t go past a burger and a beer, she’s never been more relatable. Despite the indulgence, her press tour for A Big Bold Beautiful Journey has seen her step out looking sizzling! So, in an act of public service, we get to the bottom of how she looks so fit and fab on page 20. Fellow Aussie actress Toni Collette has also stepped back into the spotlight. Like her former co-star Mark Ruffalo said in our feature (page 24), she’s “one of the greatest actresses to have graced the screen” – and yet, the homegrown star’s humility makes us proud to call her one of our own. Keeping it local, Edwina Bartholomew is doing her bit…

Kris Jenner has landed her very own cosmetics campaign with MAC. “I’ve always been focused on helping my children build their businesses, so to be the face of a major campaign is a rare and exciting experience for me,” the 69-year-old told Elle, after a campaign image was said to be “leaked” to the cosmetics giant’s Instagram. Hours later, however, the ‘leak’ was revealed to be all part of the fun, with MAC officially introducing Jenner “as the newest face (no pun intended)” of their I Wear MAC campaign. The momager’s new affiliation with the makeup brand did raise some eyebrows, given the beauty companies owned by her daughters Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner are direct competitors. But it seems the reality TV matriarch got the tick of approval. “I…

Saoirse Ronan has taken on her greatest role yet: a mum! The Irish actress, 31, and her Scottish husband, actor Jack Lowden, 35, have welcomed their first child, with the pair sharing the news by taking an outing with their little one in London on September 9. The couple, who met on the set of 2018 film Mary Queen of Scots, were in their baby bubble as they strolled through the city, pushing their newborn in its pram. Before news of her pregnancy broke in May, Ronan had spoken of her desire to have a baby with Lowden, who she married in July 2024. “I’m now at the stage where, if it happened, I would like to have a kid,” she told British Vogue of her aspirations to start a…

The death of screen legend Robert Redford has been met with a flood of tributes. The actor, filmmaker and activist passed away at his Utah home at the age of 89 on September 16. He leaves behind wife Sibylle Szaggars and daughters Shauna and Amy from his first marriage to Lola Van Wagenen. Redford was a staple on the big screen for more than five decades, starring alongside a who’s who of Hollywood’s leading ladies. “It hit me hard this morning when I read that Bob was gone,” said frequent co-star Jane Fonda, who made five films with the actor – most recently, 2017’s Our Souls at Night. “I can’t stop crying. He meant a lot to me and was a beautiful person in every way. He stood for an…

Toni Collette Toni Collette was pumped at the premiere of her new Netflix series, Wayward, at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival on September 9. “I’m so happy to be here. I don’t even remember how many times I’ve been here now,” she told reporters on the red carpet, clad in another Aussie icon, Zimmermann. “I was so shocked – I went to a party and, as I was walking out, there was this massive portrait on the wall and I kind of walked by and I went, ‘That looks like me – oh my God, that is me!’” she continued. “From 1997 – and that wasn’t the first time, I don’t think … It’s been a long romance.” Toronto was also where Collette, 52, filmed the upcoming eight-part drama…

When Channel 7 journalist Edwina Bartholomew went in for a routine health check last year, she never imagined it would change her life. Diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), her world was turned upside down in an instant. “It was a real shock,” the 42-year-old tells WHO of getting her diagnosis last July. As a mother of two young kids – Molly, 5, and Thomas, 3 – Bartholomew had long prioritised their health over her own. Feeling the need for a long-overdue check-in with her own body, she finally made an appointment to see a doctor for herself. But the unexpected happened when tests revealed her white blood cells were abnormal, ultimately leading to her CML diagnosis. The news came completely out of nowhere as, Bartholomew explains, she “didn’t have…

Just a day after his last-minute absence from the 2025 Emmy Awards, Eric Dane took to Instagram to promote a new ALS campaign, where he showed troubling signs of the neurodegenerative condition, known as motor neurone disease in Australia, that affects muscle movement. “I’m Eric. An actor, a father and now a person living with ALS,” he said in the clip, revealing his partnership with non-profit organisation I AM ALS. “For [more than] a century, ALS has been incurable, and we’re done accepting the status quo. We need the fastest path to a cure, and that’s why I partnered with I AM ALS on the Push for Progress. Our goal? A billion dollars over the next three years.” Viewers noticed that Dane spoke slowly in the new video, slurring his…

Just weeks after throwing a pen at a reporter who asked her about rumours she was pregnant with her fourth child, Cardi B has confirmed she is, in fact, expecting. The rapper, 32, revealed the news during an interview with CBS Mornings on September 17. “I’m having a baby with my boyfriend, Stefon Diggs,” she told host Gayle King. “I’m excited.” The little one will be the couple’s first child together, but the rapper’s fourth, with Cardi already sharing daughters Kulture Kiari, 7, and Blossom Belle, 1, and son Wave Set, 4, with estranged husband Offset. Diggs, an NFL player for the New England Patriots, is also a father to daughter Nova, 8, from a previous relationship. The pair were first linked in October 2024, but only confirmed their romance…

EMMY AWARDS 2025 Television’s annual night of nights, the Primetime Emmy Awards, returned for its 77th ceremony, a glitzy celebration honouring the year’s stand-out performances on screen. The red carpet nearly stole the show with a dazzling parade of fancy frocks – by far the most talked about being Jenna Ortega’s jaw-dropping Givenchy ensemble that embraced the near-naked trend with its strategically placed jewels. The White Lotus star Aimee Lou Wood also garnered attention as she made her way into the theatre debuting her new beau, Masters of the Air star Adam Long. Hosted by Saturday Night Live’s Nate Bargatze – his first time fronting the awards – the ceremony took place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on September 14, with the evening belonging to The Studio.

COLIN FARRELL Just three weeks after he wrapped his award-winning role as a villainous Gotham gangster on TV’s The Batman spin-off The Penguin, Colin Farrell was relieved to swap marathon workdays under hot prosthetics for a whimsical road trip with Margot Robbie in romantic fantasy film A Big Bold Beautiful Journey. “It was a bit of an antidote because The Penguin is so dark,” Farrell told Fandango of switching gears from his Golden Globe-winning role as the Caped Crusader’s nemesis to a movie that follows two charming strangers who meet at a wedding and embark on a magical tour of self-discovery. “We all know it’s only make-believe, but if you’re [spending] 14 hours a day convincing yourself that reality is a certain way, you start to begin to feel that…

Melissa McCarthy & Vivian Falcone Thunder Force Falcone was just 8 years old when she played a junior version of her mother’s character in The Boss (2016). After that small role, it seems the now 18-year-old caught the acting bug – in 2021, she stepped in again to fill the shoes of McCarthy’s character’s younger self in Thunder Force. “We’ve kind of kept Vivian out of acting, but she’s very good at it,” her father, Ben Falcone, said during the film’s junket, adding that she’s just like her hilarious mum. Mark Consuelos & Michael Consuelos Riverdale Michael, 28, has said it was a “bucket-list moment” when he first stepped in to play the younger version of his father’s character, Hiram Lodge, in the teen drama series back in 2018. When…

BROUGHT TO YOU BY Ever found yourself saying, “Eat your greens, they’re good for you!” or bargaining with, “No dessert, that’s naughty”? You’re not alone. Most of us have said something similar at some point. But here’s the thing – those casual, throwaway lines may be shaping how kids perceive food in ways we don’t even realise. Research shows that children quickly pick up on the idea that some foods are good and others are bad. And once that moral framing sets in, it sticks. Suddenly, a small piece of chocolate isn’t just an after-dinner treat, it’s a sign of being naughty. “Labelling food as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ has become so common that many of us don’t even know we’re doing it,” clinical psychologist Lucy Braude says. “We might also…

Much-longed for warmth, flowers in bloom, brighter days and a freshness in the air – yes, this can only mean one thing: spring is officially here. While the change of season brings with it visible shifts to the world around us, it’s also important to note how these celestial rhythms have a flow-on effect on our skin. From rising heat and humidity levels to elevated allergies, breakouts and everything in between, spring can trigger a variety of skincare challenges. With that in mind, we hit up dermal therapist and founder of Iyvos skincare Gabrielle Singh to unpack the key ways in which spring can impact our skin and how we should be adapting our routines for the warmer weather. MOISTURE MAKEOVER It’s no secret that winter takes a toll on…

From the big screen to the small, Miranda Tapsell, 37, and Gwilym Lee, 41, are back together – and this time they’re ushering their beloved Top End Wedding characters, Lauren and Ned, into a brand-new chapter in Top End Bub, an eight-part series that celebrates family, love and connection, all set against the backdrop of the Northern Territory. WHO caught up with the duo to talk reuniting, the bonds that run deep both on and offscreen, and what it was like acting alongside their youngest castmate, who just about stole the spotlight. The series highlights the importance of family and community bonds. How did that sense of connection translate off screen? MIRANDA TAPSELL Oh, well, clearly we hated each other. (laughs) GWILYM LEE Well, we shot the film Top End…

The Duke of Sussex was in high spirits after coming face to face with his father, King Charles, for the first time in 19 months during a private 55-minute visit at Clarence House on September 10. “Yes, he’s great,” Prince Harry, 41, told reporters of his dad, who continues to receive treatment for cancer. The catch-up over tea is believed to be a significant first step in Harry ending his estrangement with the monarch, 76, who he previously admitted wasn’t taking his phone calls. A friend of the prince’s told Vanity Fair that Harry is already making plans to see his father again, and intends to bring his children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4. The meeting occurred after Harry jetted into the UK to undertake four days’ worth…

BENSON BOONE & MAGGIE THURMON Benson Boone and Maggie Thurmon have closed the curtain on their relationship. An insider confirmed to Us Weekly that the singer and the actress, both 23, split earlier this month, after almost two years of dating. The pair, who first went public with their romance in March 2024, when they attended the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s Academy Awards viewing party together, have since unfollowed each other on Instagram. Their split came as a shock to fans, who spotted Thurmon at Boone’s concert in North Carolina as recently as September 7. Just two days later, in a fan video posted to TikTok, he told concert-goers waiting outside his show in Nashville that he’d had “a rough day”. The ‘Beautiful Things’ singer also hinted at the split…

Dressed in a black blazer as she stepped onto the red carpet at the London premiere of her new film on September 11, all eyes were soon on Margot Robbie as she quickly removed her discreet jacket to reveal the Armani Privé gown underneath. Turning to pose from all angles, the actress stunned in the risqué backless, bejewelled, see-through gown. The ‘naked look’ dress is just one of the daring outfits the 35-year-old has donned as she promotes A Big Bold Beautiful Journey alongside co-star Colin Farrell (turn to page 28 to learn more about the movie). Earlier that day, Robbie showed off her taut midriff in a pale pink bralette and skirt at a press call. And, on September 15, she attended the film’s New York debut in a…

Without a doubt, 2025 has been a pivotal year for actress Julia Garner, with two major films hitting cinemas and plenty more exciting projects on the horizon. But, despite her busy schedule, the 31-year-old knew she had to make time for her most recent film. Psychological horror Weapons was released last month and Garner was certain it was one she wanted on her résumé as soon as the script landed in her lap. “I read it in one sitting, and that doesn’t happen often. It was like a real page-turner,” she explained in an interview with Refinery29. “I was shooting another movie, and I was like, ‘We have to make sure that I have time to do this movie.’ I really felt it in my every fibre.” “It was like…

Twenty years ago, Narelle Plapp was weighing out ingredients on her kitchen table, making her gluten-free muesli by hand. Fast-forward to now and her brand, Food for Health, has become a household name and she employs 85 full-time, muesli-making staff in a Victorian manufacturing company, which not only creates her product, but also those of big names like Sanitarium, Nestlé and Coles. “I never anticipated that I’d be running a 24-hour manufacturing business,” Narelle, 50, who began her career as a naturopath, tells WHO. “But people who know me know I don’t take no for an answer. I’m pretty resilient and I’ll always find a solution to a problem.” Narelle started her muesli-making mission when she realised that some of the clients she was seeing as a naturopath needed a…

the hit list STORIES TO TELL “What always stood out for me, besides the incredible list of cast members it’s had, was the care and nuance of its storytelling,” Narkle says of Mystery Road. “There’s definitely a reason it has such a staunch and loyal fan base.” It can be quite daunting for an actor to jump into an established series, even more so when they’re portraying the younger version of a much-loved character. Luckily for 29-year-old Tuuli Narkle, she was well versed in the Mystery Road story before she took on playing Mary, the love interest of enigmatic detective Jay Swan (Mark Coles Smith), in prequel Mystery Road: Origin in 2022 – a role originated by Tasma Walton in the initial series. “I, like so many, was a massive…
