There are two celebrity wedding dresses that have forever won my heart – in 2020, Princess Beatrice wearing a reworked vintage dress that belonged to her grandmother Queen Elizabeth, and, for her surprise wedding to JFK Jr. in 1996, when Carolyn Bessette bucked all trends and wore a slip dress by Narciso Rodriguez. We take a closer look at both women’s style and what their clothes say to the world (pages 18 and 42). Speaking of love stories, Aussie songstress Delta Goodrem has tied the knot! Take a look at her celebrations in Malta (page 6). There’s also baby news for Ash Barty (page 13) and Jesinta Franklin (page 5). For those writing your own story, find out how to get published (page 88). And there are real-life reads about…

Sacha Baron Cohen, 53, and Isla Fisher, 49, have closed the curtain on their marriage and finalised their $120 million divorce. Once seen as one of Hollywood’s strongest couples, the pair announced their shock split on Instagram in 2024, bringing an end to their 20-year relationship. A year on, they returned to the platform with a message confirming they had signed on the dotted line. “We’re proud of all we’ve achieved together,” they said in a social media statement. “We remain friends.” The update follows reports of brewing tensions as they negotiated the division of their extensive assets and figured out how to co-parent their three children. Earlier this year, sources claimed the two were “at war” behind the scenes as they worked to untangle their shared fortune. Fisher had…

Following the news that David Beckham received his much-longed-for knighthood in this year’s King’s Birthday Honours list on June 15, Victoria couldn’t hide her pride in her other half. “You’ve always been my knight in shining armour, but now it’s official,” the 51-year-old posted on Instagram along with a photo of her hugging her husband of 25 years. “Sir @davidbeckham! What an honour, I couldn’t be prouder of you. Your dedication to the things that matter most – your country, your work, your passion, and most of all, your family – has never wavered. “The way you’ve touched so many lives over the years with kindness and humility speaks volumes about the man you are and continues to inspire us everyday,” she added. “But above all else, I’m so, so…

Justin Bieber may not be the first former child star to wrestle with the trappings and pressures of fame, but the performer recently sparked concern once again after opening up about his struggles on social media. In an Instagram post on June 16, the 31-year-old revealed he had been battling with his mental health. “People keep telling me to heal,” the ‘Sorry’ singer shared. “Don’t you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already? “I know I’m broken. I know I have anger issues,” Justin continued. “I tried to do the work my whole life to be like the people who told me I needed to be fixed like them. And it just keeps making me more tired and more angry. The harder I try to grow.…

Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber’s daughter, Kai Schreiber, has long known who she aspired to be. “I always wanted to grow up and be a beautiful, glamorous, influential woman like Marilyn [Monroe],” the 16-year-old recently told Interview magazine, adding that her struggles with “gender identity from a young age” were the catalyst for her wanting to become a model. The candid chat and photo shoot with the publication comes shortly after her famous parents publicly supported their transgender child. In fact, Kai said her Aussie actress mother, 56, was always there, camera in hand, to document the up-and-coming star’s journeys – both her supermodel ambitions and her exploration of personal identity. “I want to be a supermodel. Period,” she told the publication, after walking for Valentino at Paris Fashion Week…

Heading out for a date night in New York City on June 9, Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper couldn’t hide their connection. The casual couple, who had until earlier this year kept their romance relatively under wraps, looked loved-up as they strolled down the street hand in hand – stopping for the actor, 50, to FaceTime a pal while the model, 30, affectionately played with his ear. The outing was a sign things are getting more serious between the pair, who have been romantically linked since October 2023. The same was true of Hadid’s recent day out with Cooper’s daughter, Lea, 8, who he shares with his former partner Irina Shayk, 39. Hadid and Lea enjoyed a spot of shopping together on May 26, showing off the adorable bond they’ve…

I magine waking up from a nap so confused you don’t recognise your long-term partner and don’t even remember having a child – then, just after it all sinks in, you immediately forget again. It sounds like a movie but, while Hollywood has long been fascinated by stories of amnesia, this is actually mum-of-two Nesh Pillay’s very real and ongoing experience. Nesh’s extraordinary life is the subject of Prime Video series 50,000 First Dates: A True Story, which hit the streamer earlier this year. And, somewhat ironically, she shared some of the highlights in an interview with Drew Barrymore, who played a woman with the same disorder in the film 50 First Dates. “I’ve had a series of head bumps,” Nesh, 35, told Barrymore, explaining that the first one was…

Unless you haven’t been checking the headlines lately, you’ll know the rumoured feud between Nicola Peltz-Beckham and her mother-in-law, Victoria Beckham, is in full force. While the alleged bad blood might’ve started simmering during the 2022 Peltz-Beckham wedding, now insider sources are claiming the pair aren’t even on speaking terms. Of course, this only proves that even two of the world’s most glamorous women aren’t immune to the ‘evil’ mother-in-law and/or ‘disruptive’ daughter-in-law tropes. And while we hate to see women pitted against each other, clinical psychologist Dr Maria-Elena Lukeides explains that this narrative reflects the very real adjustments that come with marrying into a family. “Being a newcomer in a family means you’re entering a dynamic where established roles, expectations and traditions are already in place,” Dr Lukeides explains.…

HIGH SOCIETY “I love that people love to hate her,” Coon says of Bertha. “At the end of the day, she represents that enterprising spirit that we know from history wins the battle of old versus new money. Bertha’s team comes out on top.” If there are two things we’ve come to expect when seeing Morgan Spector and Carrie Coon on screen together, it is chemistry and drama. And as the stars of The Gilded Age join WHO over Zoom from Los Angeles, plenty of the former is on display as they promise Season 3 is going to offer a heap of the latter. In the thrilling Season 2 finale, the Russells were at odds as matriarch Bertha (Coon) arranged the marriage of daughter Gladys (Taissa Farmiga) to a wayward…

Jesinta Franklin has revealed that her kids, Tullulah, 5, and Rocky, 4, “are getting a baby brother or sister for Christmas”. The 33-year-old shared the news in a heartwarming Instagram video, in which she showed off her blossoming baby bump while her little ones kissed and played with her belly. “The most beautiful surprise of all,” she added, tagging her husband, Lance “Buddy” Franklin, 38. “Our hearts are full.” The Aussie model later took to her Instagram stories to reveal she had been experiencing severe morning sickness during the first trimester, but was feeling better after being put on medication to treat it. She also admitted that, while she and the former Sydney Swans player thought they were “happy and done with 2 beautiful children”, the pair – who have…

Ash Barty has revealed she’s welcomed her second little ace into the world, with the tennis star serving up some serious cuteness with a snap of the little one. “Welcome to the world, Jordan,” the 29-year-old shared on her Instagram on June 16, alongside a picture of her newborn daughter. “You are loved unconditionally and we are so grateful to have you in our arms, gorgeous girl.” Earlier this year, the Aussie champion, who already has an almost-2-year-old son, Hayden, with husband Garry Kissick, told the Herald Sun that she was gearing up to deal with “chaos” as the household adjusts to life with both a toddler and a newborn. “It’s been probably the best part of my life, being able to share this next chapter with my husband, Garry,…

Standing on Buckingham Palace’s balcony surrounded by loved ones following a parade in his honour, it was truly a celebration fit for a king on June 14 as Charles III’s official birthday was marked. With all the pomp and pageantry associated with royal life on full display at Trooping the Colour, it is easy to see why the annual military parade has become one of the most highly anticipated events on London’s social calendar. Dating back to 1748, when it was first performed during the reign of Charles II, Trooping the Colour is now held each June to mark the reigning sovereign’s birthday – despite Charles actually being born on November 14, with later in the year being considered far too cold to hold the event. Over 1000 soldiers took…

DENZEL WASHINGTON When you get your portrait on the walls of New York foodie institution Sardi’s, you know you’ve made it. But when the actor, 70, posed with his very own sketch to celebrate his performance as Othello in the Broadway play on June 2, he looked less than impressed. ARIANA GRANDE Back in 2019, the singer and Wicked star didn’t even recognise herself when Madame Tussauds unveiled this wax figure. When images of the figure went viral, Grande, 31, herself commented, “i just wanna talk,” on social media. KYLIE MINOGUE & JASON DONOVAN Charlene and Scott, is that you? It was tough for fans to see Minogue and on-screen hubby Donovan, both 57, like this. To catch this thing of beauty, head to Louis Tussauds in Norfolk, England. JENNIFER…

After spending a harrowing decade not knowing what happened to Leisl Smith, her loved ones were on the verge of finally getting answers when that hope was snatched away from them. On the evening before the verdict was set to be delivered in the 2022 trial of James Church – Leisl’s lover who had been charged with her murder – he committed suicide, leaving the judge with no other legal option than to seal the case’s findings. “I believe in our investigation, I know in my heart what the result was going to be in trial,” Detective Sergeant Michael Jones, who led the case, told the New South Wales Coronial Court on June 11 during an inquest. “That decision would have helped [Leisl’s family] to reconcile and move forward.” Leisl…

BROUGHT TO YOU BY When Natallia Tarrien, a mum in her third trimester, noticed a strange tightness in her jaw one night, she didn’t think too much of it. Out of curiosity – and a little latenight boredom – she decided to ask ChatGPT what might be going on. She typed in a casual question: “Why does my jaw feel tight?” What she wasn’t expecting was a suggestion that would ultimately lead her to seek medical attention – and possibly save her life. At first, Tarrien brushed off the discomfort as just another one of pregnancy’s many weird symptoms. But when ChatGPT flagged jaw tightness as a possible warning sign of pre-eclampsia – a serious pregnancy complication – she decided not to take any chances. After checking her blood pressure…

THE FAVOURITE by Fran Littlewood Grown-up sisters Alex, Eva and Nancy were raised equally loved by their parents – or so they thought. While on a holiday, their father, Patrick, reveals he has a favourite daughter, causing other long-buried family secrets, resentments and rivalries to bubble to the surface.

Sun, sea and surf all added up to the perfect day to get married for Delta Goodrem when the Aussie singer recently tied the knot with Matthew Copley in Malta. The newlyweds didn’t get very much time to themselves on their honeymoon, however, thanks to a host of celebrity friends, including Renee Bargh and Richard Wilkins, flying in for the occasion. But Goodrem, 40, and her long-term musician love, 38, were happy to celebrate with their guests in the Mediterranean nation while sporting their new wedding rings. The couple met in 2017, when he was recruited to be a guitarist in her touring band, and went public with their relationship in January 2018 while holidaying in Hawaii. “It’s incredible to be on stage with him because he’s so talented,” she…

As the 65th TV Week Logie Awards approach, the seven nominees for the prestigious Gold Logie Award have been revealed. The contenders who will vie for the honour of being this year’s most popular personality on Australian television include A Current Affair host Ally Langdon, LegoMasters’ Hamish Blake, I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! co-host Julia Morris, as well as ABC presenter Lisa Millar, MasterChef Australia judge Poh Ling Yeow, Dancing with the Stars’ Sonia Kruger and Home and Away actress Lynne McGranger (not pictured) – who recently announced her retirement from the program. As the only male nominee, Blake, 43, who won gold in 2012 and 2022, revealed after the announcement that he didn’t want to take the trophy home this time. “It would not be a…

Paris Jackson, daughter of late pop legend Michael Jackson, has responded to backlash over the fact that she has been scheduled to perform on the anniversary of her father’s death. The 27-year-old addressed the criticism in a series of Instagram stories, noting that while June 25 is “a very negative anniversary for me in my life and my family”, as an opening act for Incubus and Manchester Orchestra, she had no say over the dates. “When you’re first of three, and you’re not headlining these shows, you don’t pick what date you perform, or what time you go on stage, or what city you perform in,” she explained of her opening act slot, before signing off from her critics with a “F--k you”.…

Lily Allen has been spotted looking happy and giggly on a day out with James Norton – sparking speculation that the outspoken singer, 40, and the straitlaced actor, 39, may have struck up a very unlikely romance. The pair attended the Lido Festival in London on June 14, seemingly having a good time as they danced to performances from the artists and sipped on non-alcoholic beer. “James and Lily looked very into each other and they were snogging backstage,” an insider revealed to The Sun. Insiders suggest the pair may have matched on celebrity dating app Raya – the same platform Allen’s ex-husband David Harbour, 50, was allegedly discovered on shortly after news of their split surfaced. The sighting also follows Norton’s recent break-up with model Charlotte Rose Smith, 26,…

He was the charming and handsome son of a former US president, often referred to as American royalty, and she was the chic, cool blonde who captivated him – and the world – like no other. And 26 years after the 1999 deaths of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, the public remains just as obsessed with their high-profile romance and tragic demise as ever. In an Instagram post on June 14, TV writer and director Ryan Murphy shared first-look images from the camera test of the actors set to play the ill-fated lovers in his new American Love Story series, scheduled to air on Disney+ early next year. “Over a thousand actors auditioned for each of these roles, and we absolutely found the perfect choices,” the acclaimed maker…

For three seasons on critically acclaimed hit The Bear, Ayo Edebiri has seen her ambitious and headstrong character, Sydney Adamu, climb the ranks from sous-chef in a struggling sandwich shop to second-in-charge in the chaotic kitchen of a fine-dining Chicago restaurant run by her troubled mentor, Carmy (played by Jeremy Allen White). Where would she like to see Sydney go next? “On vacation! That poor girl, she needs a break,” Edebiri, 29, deadpanned to Deadline’s Crew Call podcast on June 2. “In therapy – and then on the beach!” There’ll be no such rest for Edebiri. Even during her own recent month-long holiday to Asia, she conceived the idea to write a surrealist live-action Barney & Friends movie – based on the children’s TV purple dinosaur – which she pitched…

CLASSIC TRACKS If they were making their own mixtape, the actors would include their favourite Aussie artists. For Sturgess, it’s Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs and Nick Cave, while Palmer “was a huge Silverchair fan back in the day” and Lawson names Hilltop Hoods: “Good Aussie hip-hop.” You never forget your first love. That’s certainly true for Teresa Palmer. “We would cry when we had to be apart,” the 39-yearold actress tells WHO about her formative romance. “We were so enmeshed! It was like this really potent feeling.” In Sydney recently to promote her new miniseries, Mix Tape, Palmer stars in the nostalgic and romantic drama as Alison, a woman who reconnects with her first love, Dan (Jim Sturgess), 20 years after they dated as teens. “As I was reading…

Have you ever tried with on something from Rebecca Vallance and instantly felt transformed into a princess? Well, that’s hardly a surprise given the fashion brand counts a couple of the real things among their already star-studded client list. King Charles’ niece Princess Beatrice, 36, stole the show on May 13 when she attended the Elephant Family Wonders of the Wild event at Kew Gardens wearing the Henrietta Button Gown in a striking hue of metallic red. “It’s always an incredible moment to see the royals in our latest collections,” Vallance tells WHO of her self-named label. “They always look chic and sophisticated,” Beatrice’s younger sister, Princess Eugenie, 35, looked sensational in a blueand-white botanical halter number as she publicly donned her first dress from the label at the Chelsea…

HOW IT WORKS The Produce Pod is comprised of a cotton inner layer which, when dampened, keeps veggies hydrated and an outer layer that prevents the veggies drying out too soon. Both layers are breathable, meaning veggies don’t suffocate and moisture can escape. Scan to shop or producepod.com.au When you think of the word “accident”, you usually equate it with a fall, sustaining an injury or something broken that ends up being costly to fix – it’s rarely something that ends up earning you a small fortune. However, Fiona Raphael’s seemingly simple accident did exactly that and has changed her life for the better. It came about in 2021 when Fiona, now 38, from Sydney, was on maternity leave from her job as a criminal lawyer. Her son, Monty, was…

As a former Olympian, doctor, mother-of-six, speaker, author and sometimes TV host, you’d think Jana Pittman would be a dab hand at ‘the juggle’. But the 42-year-old admits even she was in over her head when she welcomed twins Quinlan and Willow in 2022. “As a mama who has lots of babies already, I thought, ‘I’ve got this,’” she says with a laugh. “It hit me like a ton of bricks. It’s just another level of parental responsibility.” In two-part series Australia’s Most Identical, Pittman and fellow twin parent Scott Cam take a deep dive into identical twins – putting 100 pairs through tests to discover if some can truly be “more identical” than others. Why did you decide to get involved in the series? Obviously the main reason I…

When was the last time you danced in public? At my son Hudson’s concert. Hudson is only 13 but he plays a mean guitar and sings in a band – he’s one of the coolest people I know. Their band, The Rookies, recently played at the BeachLife Festival at Redondo Beach in California. Pretty proud dad moment. The last guilty pleasure you indulged in? We’ve been developing new recipes at The Pie Room, so I’ve been ‘forced’ to taste-test pies daily – purely for quality control, of course. It’s been a tough gig, especially since I’m trying to get fit for 50. Let’s just say the treadmill and I are spending a lot more time together lately! When was the last time you lost your cool?  Probably in the boxing…
