Enough is enough. Women across Australia have taken a stand against gendered violence. Already this year, 31 women have lost their lives and the crisis seemingly has no end in sight. But there are experts, volunteers and fundraisers who are doing incredible work to bring about real change. Read about their efforts and find out how you can get involved (page 36). Taylor Swift spent six years fighting to reclaim her life’s work. The master recordings of her first six albums were owned by others until, on May 30, she announced she had managed to buy them all – at a reported cost of more than $500 million. How did she do it? Well, having the highest-selling tour of all time certainly helped (page 16). Director Ridley Scott spent 24…

She’s spent the last decade and a half prioritising family and building her businesses and brand, but Jessica Alba is finally ready for a bit of me time. The 44-year-old took to Instagram on June 2 to share a series of snaps from a recent holiday with her girlfriends, all the while hinting that she’s loving her new era – following her split from estranged hubby Cash Warren and stepping down from her role of chief creative officer at The Honest Company last year. “Channeling chill – breathwork – friendship and selfcare,” the mum-of-three captioned the carousel of images, including several of her looking incredible in a series of swimsuits. Having announced her separation from Warren, 46, in January, Alba has sparked plenty of whispers about her dating life since.…

As speculation about what exactly is going on with the once-close Beckham family hits fever pitch, Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz-Beckham have revealed how they “protect” their relationship in a new cover story with Glamour Germany. “Ignore the noise. Keep your head down, work hard, be kind,” Brooklyn, 26, told the magazine. “People are always going to talk. What matters is that we’re happy together.” The interview came after it was revealed an incident at the couple’s 2022 wedding may have caused the fallout, which escalated in May after they skipped 50th birthday parties held for his father, David. A source told People magazine that their first dance was “ruined” after Marc Anthony called mother of-the groom Victoria “the most beautiful woman in the room”. “Weddings can be intense, especially when…

The fashion industry’s golden sisters, Gigi, 30, and Bella Hadid, 28, have opened up about the discovery of their half-sister. In a statement made to the Daily Mail, the duo said they were made aware of their 23-year-old sibling, Aydan Nix, in 2023, and have since “embraced Aydan with open arms”. The models revealed the pregnancy was a result of their father, Mohamed Hadid, 76, having a “brief relationship” with Floridian woman Terri Hatfield Dull after his divorce from their mother, Yolanda, in 2000. In their statement to the Daily Mail, the sisters revealed Nix was unaware she was related to the superstar family and grew up “with the man she lovingly knew as her father until his sudden passing when she was 19”. The revelation came after Nix undertook…

HOLDING HER OWN Kardashian is winning the praise of her All’s Fair co-stars, including Niecy Nash (below) and eight-time Oscar nominee Close, 78, who told E!, “I was so impressed by Kim …She’s a very sweet woman, she does her homework, she has great people around her, which says a lot. She’s not a prima donna.” Covering her grey outfit with a beige cap and gown, and surrounded by family and close friends, Kim Kardashian beamed as she celebrated finishing the law degree she started six years ago. “It wasn’t easy, and it took longer than planned, but I never gave up,” she captioned a carousel of images from the intimate outdoor ceremony on Instagram. “This experience has shaped me profoundly, and I’ll carry its lessons with me forever. Here’s…

Scan to shop or visit faytthelabel.com Brittney Saunders was one of the internet’s original influencers. But long before she found fame as a teen YouTuber, talking all things life, fashion and beauty, the schoolgirl from Newcastle was a young entrepreneur. “I had a spray-tanning business, I sold makeup and I decorated phone cases for a while,” Brittney, now 32, tells WHO. “I made coffee scrubs, I attempted a lot of businesses – so getting into fashion wasn’t some grand idea, it was just the next thing I decided to have a go at.” The difference with Brittney’s size-inclusive fashion brand, Fayt (pronounced fate) the Label, which she launched in 2017, was that she already had a huge online audience and potential customer base. “It was a massive advantage.

Actor Jonathan Joss – known for his voice work on King of the Hill and a recurring role in Parks and Recreation – was fatally shot after being subjected to homophobic abuse on June 1, his husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, has claimed. Gonzales said he and Joss, 59, were checking their fire-damaged Texas home for mail when a man approached and began yelling “homophobic slurs at us”. That’s when he claimed things turned deadly. “He then raised a gun from his lap and fired,” Gonzales wrote on social media, adding that Joss saved his life. “Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving,” he said, referring to the loss of their home and three dogs who perished in the January house fire. “When…

It only feels like yesterday that Linda Evangelista and her billionaire ex, François-Henri Pinault, were locked in a bitter legal battle over child support payments for their son, Augustin. The dispute actually played out in 2012, and now, 13 years on, the exes have put on a united front at Augustin’s high-school graduation. Also there on the day was the luxury retail heir’s wife, Salma Hayek, whose daughter with Pinault, 63, arrived just 18 months after the birth of Augustin. Hayek, 58, used Instagram to show off their modern family, including snaps of the new graduate, 18, embracing his mum and sharing a cigar with his dad. While the blended family is clearly cordial now – with the trio even enjoying Thanksgiving together – a 2012 trial saw Pinault admit…

Blake Lively is abandoning some of her claims against Justin Baldoni. On June 2, the Gossip Girl star, 37, withdrew her claims that her It Ends with Us director and co-star, 41, had caused both intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress on her. The move came after Baldoni’s legal team requested “an order compelling Blake Lively to identify her medical and mental health care providers”. In a letter submitted to the court, Baldoni’s lawyer claimed that “instead of complying”, Lively withdrew. The conflict became public in December after Lively filed a sexual harassment complaint against Baldoni, and he counter-sued. The trial of both suits is set for March 2026. Lively’s lawyers brushed off the development. “We are doing what trial lawyers do: preparing our case for trial by streamlining…

Two Hollywood stars are preparing for their newest role: being a mum. Saoirse Ronan, 31, and Vanessa Kirby, 37, both recently confirmed they were expecting by debuting their baby bumps on the red carpet. Ronan is expecting her first child with British actor Jack Lowden, 35. The couple wed in July last year, after meeting on the set of 2018 historical film Mary Queen of Scots. The Irish actress’ appearance at the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2026 show sparked rumours of her pregnancy, which was later confirmed by photographs of her out in London walking her dog with her bump on display. As for Kirby, she revealed her mum-to-be status on the red carpet for a panel event for The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The English actress has been in a…

Ant Anstead has called those questioning the status of his four-year relationship with Renée Zellweger “disrespectful”, after he was caught crashing at a spin instructor’s home. However, fans have been left wondering if there may be a sprinkle of truth to reports the actress and her long-time love have hit a rough patch. According to the Daily Mail, Anstead, 46, has recently been spotted quite regularly at the Laguna Beach home of newly divorced fitness instructor Julia French. The pair are reportedly pals, having connected through their children. “One of her kids goes to the same school as [Anstead’s son] Hudson,” a source explained to the publication. “When Ant’s working late or needs childcare, Hudson goes back with Jules’ kids. Then in the evening Ant picks Hudson up.” So when…

Arriving at the Breast Cancer Research Foundation Hot Pink Party in New York City on May 13, Elizabeth Hurley told reporters she was excited about turning 60 on June 10. “I love every birthday. I always get overexcited if it’s a big birthday – I think people are even nicer to you, maybe give you more presents, more flowers, and generally spoil you more. I welcome it,” she said, adding she was thrilled to be spending the milestone moment with her new beau, ‘Achy Breaky Heart’ singer – and Miley’s dad – Billy Ray Cyrus. “He should be in England for my birthday,” she continued. “He’ll be meeting my family and my dogs, and hopefully, it’ll be lovely.” “I always get overexcited” The couple, who met while filming TV movie…

Walking down the aisle of Stockholm’s Royal Chapel on June 13, 2015, wearing a silk gown by Ida Sjöstedt and a diamond and emerald tiara, Sofia Hellqvist looked every inch the perfect princess as she prepared to wed Prince Carl Philip. Of course, to their critics, this was no fairytale and many might be shocked to see them still together and celebrating 10 years of happy marriage this week. “I was met with an enormous hate storm, from people who had opinions about me as a person, about my relationship,” Sofia admitted to Sweden’s TV4 in 2018 of the reaction after their engagement was announced. “I was surprised, and it definitely affected me. I didn’t understand that people had such [a] need to express how badly they felt about me.”…

Is there anything worse than feeling parched post-workout, mid-illness or during the workday rush? Sometimes water doesn’t cut it, either – probably because you need added minerals and vitamins like magnesium, potassium and salts. That’s when electrolyte aids come in handy. But what exactly are they? “They make up most of our sweat composition, so when we sweat, we are losing salts, otherwise known as electrolytes. In this aspect, they help keep us hydrated and prevent dehydration,” dietitian Mark Robinson tells WHO. Here, we give you the lowdown on the what, when and why – plus our favourite electrolyte supplements. WHAT ROLE DO ELECTROLYTES PLAY IN OUR BODIES? Ever had stiff muscles or even cramps post-workout? You’re probably lacking in essential salts. Robinson says they play a function in muscle…

It’s widely reported that Gen Z are the most eco-conscious generation – which makes sense considering they’re the first generation to grow up during a climate crisis. Yet, when it comes to the fast-fashion narrative, they’re also the generation who cop the most blame. Senior Lecturer of Marketing at RMIT University Dr Amanda Spry explains that the disconnect between Gen Z’s beliefs and actions is what is known as the attitude-behaviour gap. “Although they are deeply values-driven, there are a few cultural and structural barriers explaining why these ideals do not always translate into their actions,” Dr Spry says. “Gen Z also have a desire for trendiness and self-expression, which is influenced and fuelled by social media trends that promote aesthetic ‘cores’ and ‘micro-trends’.” According to ASIC’s Moneysmart, finances are…

After years of playing second fiddle to her arguably more famous husband, Justin, Hailey Bieber is finally taking centrestage. The 28-year-old Rhode founder announced on May 28 that e.l.f. Beauty would be acquiring her beauty brand in a lucrative $1.5 billion deal, cementing her status as a savvy businesswoman – and potentially saving her family from financial strain. The deal comes after years of persistent whispers about Justin’s financial woes, with the 31-year-old reportedly still grappling with significant debts following the cancellation of his 2022 Justice tour. In December 2022, the ‘Sorry’ singer sold his music catalogue for $309 million amid reports he was on the verge of “financial collapse”, with Hailey’s new deal said to have safeguarded the couple’s future – and that of their 9-month-old, Jack Blues.…

Beloved M*A*S*H actress Loretta Swit has passed away at age 87. A representative for the star, who was praised for her sharp wit and even sharper delivery as Major Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan, confirmed she had died at her New York home from natural causes – leaving behind a legacy defined by both that iconic role and tireless animal activism. Swit became a household name in the 1970s with her portrayal of the no-nonsense army nurse, a role that earned her 10 nominations and two wins at the Emmys between 1972 and 1983. She was one of only two cast members – the other being Alan Alda – who appeared in both the pilot and the highly anticipated finale of the series. “Loretta was a supremely talented actor,” Alda, 89,…

American actress Sydney Sweeney has made quite a splash with the announcement of a partnership with Dr. Squatch to sell bars of soap containing her real bathwater extract. The idea came after the 27-yearold appeared in a bathtub in an ad for the men’s grooming company that went viral. “For my dirty little boys out there,” the star teased at the time, prompting comments from fans asking for a sample of her bathwater. In announcing the new limited-edition soap on Instagram, Dr. Squatch explained it came about “because y’all wouldn’t stop asking. And Sydney said, ‘Let’s do it.‘“ Despite some backlash since the launch of Sydney’s Bathwater Bliss, with claims she’s given in to the internet’s obsession with oversexualising her, the newly single actress is clearly cleaning up.…

She’s engaged to a rock star, comes from a famous family and is drop-dead gorgeous, but it was the sight of Dakota Johnson playfully posing with Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans that stoked the green-eyed monster in an army of fans. “Homegirl got Captain America and the Mandalorian hooked,” one social media user commented on a post featuring a shot of the trio, who star in rom-com Materialists (in cinemas June 12). Concluded another, “She must’ve saved the world in a past life.” In writer-director Celine Song’s latest film following the Oscar-nominated Past Lives, Johnson, 35, plays a professional matchmaker whose own dating life gets complicated when she meets a perfect-on-paper potential new love interest (Pascal) on the same night she bumps into an old flame (Evans). Johnson told Deadline…

ADELE During a 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, the singer, 37, revealed that her 2019 split from husband Simon Konecki and the 2021 death of her father recalibrated her drinking. “At first, I was probably keeping the alcohol industry alive. But you know, once I realised that I had a lot of work to do on myself, I stopped drinking,” she said. “I spent a lot of time alone sitting with my feelings … That’s one great way of getting to know yourself, is just drinking water and being sober as anything.” BRADLEY COOPER The star of The Hangover franchise has been sober since age 29. “I was so lost and I was addicted to cocaine,” Cooper, 50, said during a June 2022 appearance on Will Arnett, Sean Hayes and…

B ack in the ’90s and 2000s, Freddie Prinze Jr and Rachael Leigh Cook were the teenage dream – and their 1999 flick, She’s All That, cemented them as young Hollywood’s go-to stars. Twenty-six years on, they are still good friends off screen and are poised for an on-screen reunion in The Christmas Affair. Set in New York, it follows Prinze’s Gabe and Cook’s Natalie, who fall for one another after their spouses are caught cheating right before Christmas. Given sports reporters Gabe and Natalie are household names, a media circus ensues. Prinze, 49, who co-produced the festive film with the stars’ former She’s All That colleague Jennifer Gibgot, told People magazine it’s “a romantic comedy but not related to She’s All That”, adding jokingly, “I think that ship has…

Awkwardly squatting over the toilet seat to take a pregnancy test, a large TV production camera watching on, Sheila Vijeyarasa couldn’t help but realise that her journey to motherhood hadn’t exactly gone to plan. In fact, meeting her now husband, Tyson, at 45, going through seven unsuccessful rounds of IVF and filming it all for the Nine Network’s documentary series Big Miracles wasn’t exactly her Plan B, either. However, after falling pregnant on her eighth attempt – her first using donor eggs – it quickly dawned on Sheila that this was exactly how it had to happen all along. “What I realised was when I became a donor mum, and I really speak to this, becoming a donor mum or adopting or fostering or surrogacy, this is not a second…

You could hit snooze or you could seize the day by doing that workout. It’s essential for your physical and mental wellness, after all.
