I NEVER THOUGHT I’d have cause to write about the Logies in an editor’s letter. And I’m going to admit straight up that I didn’t catch it on television this year. But when I heard Dylan Alcott’s speech the following morning on my way to work, it stopped me in my tracks – or would have if I wasn’t already at a standstill in Sydney traffic. The Paralympian, speaker and author had accepted the Graham Kennedy Award For Most Popular New Talent. “This award means a lot to me, because I used to absolutely hate having a disability. I’ve been in a wheelchair my whole life, and I hated it,” Alcott said. “One of the reasons I did hate it is when I turned on the TV, I never saw…

“DESIGNERS WANT YOU to HAVE IT ALL AT ONCE, and WE AGREE” MINIMALISM IS ON its way out. Our long-held soft spot for a wardrobe of white, black and navy is waning, as fashion designers activate the maximalist bat signal – begging us to embrace colour, texture, prints and hardcore accessorising (and just in time for the Melbourne Cup Carnival). Scared? Good! There’s no harm in venturing out of your comfort zone. Dip a toe in with oversized jewellery – we’re partial to the chunky gold chain necklaces seen at JW Anderson and Prabal Gurung’s elbow-skimming chandelier earrings. Or break up your slick-and-simple wardrobe with a pair of outrageous statement heels by an embellishment-heavy brand such as Roger Vivier. Versace refuses to choose between tweed, bows and rhinestones – Donatella…

SPRING-RACING SEASON marks the beginning of the part of the year where we can really dress up. We’d wager that this is partly the reason the Melbourne Cup Carnival attracts hundreds of thousands of attendees every year. But navigating the world of racing fashion (or indeed for any wedding, party or fancy event) while staying true to your personal style can require some expert guidance. Thankfully, we’re here to help.…

MODERN BOHEMIAN Give a twist to tradition with a feminine printed dress and neutral accessories. LADY LUCK The new season touts a “more is more” approach and we concur. Layer up bold colours and top it off with a sculptural tote. OR TRY… A SUIT Not tempted by all the dresses on offer? There’s a suit for that. To keep the look more race meeting than management meeting, opt for a fresh colour or an oh-so-cool shorts suit (just don’t expect to get into The Birdcage, where your rule-breaking shorts will cause a sartorial stir). WEAR IT WITH… A SWINGING BAG Keep a calf-grazing dress playful with a personality-laden handheld bag. Extra points for fitting your phone, form guide and Lanolips Tinted Balm.…

“I have a big collection of coffee table books. Some of my favourites are Kate: The Kate Moss Book, Louis Vuitton: The Birth Of Modern Luxury by Paul-Gérard Pasols and anything with photography by Slim Aarons.” “My wardrobe is constantly growing. I started off with one small built-in wardrobe in my bedroom, then I built additional drawers to house my shoes. Things have escalated recently and I have now taken over the spare room, which has become my styling suite/home office.” “I definitely have a soft spot for shoes – I’d much prefer to splurge on heels than clothes. My most recent investment was a pair of Louis Vuitton monogrammed boots. I used to be able to run around in heels all day but I have to be more practical…

RICHARD MADDEN IS GIDDY at the prospect of going dark. Hunched attractively in a leather chair at a Beverly Hills hotel, the 33-year-old Scotsman, known for playing doomed scion Robb Stark on Game Of Thrones and the trauma-stricken David Budd on the TV series Bodyguard, is eager to shed his broken-good-guy image. “I really enjoyed being a bastard,” he says, punching his right fist in his left hand like a ball in a mitt. He’s referring to his role as John Reid, the firebrand manager and former lover of Elton John (played by Taron Egerton), in this year’s Rocketman biopic. “He just loved fighting people,” Madden says. Reid also had moments of charm and generosity, the actor acknowledges, but his manipulative side was much more fun to play. In person,…

“IF YOU COULD SHUFFLE the cards, Candice,” says the smiling tarot reader sitting opposite me. “Really get your energy into them – there might be traces of the person who had a reading before you hanging about, so give them a good mix.” A week ago, if you’d told me that I’d be sitting in a room trying not to drop a deck of tarot cards bigger than my hands, I would’ve laughed. I grew up with a grandmother who believed in spirits and the power of dreams, who warned me about the dangers of Obeah, a type of Jamaican sorcery with West African origins. She once called me three times in one morning to tell me she’d dreamt that I’d eaten a spoilt yoghurt and had fallen ill, and…

WHEN KATE PASCOE SQUIRES woke up from having a  hysterectomy for chronic endometriosis, the first thing she did was reach for her phone. At the time, she was one half of Kate & Kate, a cult homewares company she and her sister-in-law, Kate Pascoe, had founded five years earlier. Both of the Kates had young children and made the company profitable through passion, 50-hour weeks and a commitment to the business that manifested itself in answering emails from a surgical recovery ward. “When it’s your own business, and it’s going well, it’s so rewarding,” Pascoe Squires says. “You’re getting all this great feedback and so much instant reward that it can become like rats with the pellets – you just can’t stop.” But faced with the prospect of another season,…

PHOTO FINISH  THESE FASHION FAVOURITES ARE A SURE THING COME RACE DAY (OR ANY DAY!) CLIP ART Feel daunted by headwear? Try a chic hair slide instead. TOP IT OFF A versatile straw hat will take you from trackside to beachside and beyond. CHAIN REACTION With one hand on the form guide and the other holding a glass of bubbles, a hands-free handbag is a godsend. SHORT AND SWEET Fashion’s current flirtation with florals is perfect for spring racing. Keep it fun with ruffles and show-stopping sleeves. FANCY FOOTWORK Put Spring in your step with strappy heels in sorbet hues.

FLUFF PIECE SEEN AT: 3.1 PHILLIP LIM, MICHAEL KORS COLLECTION, PAUL & JOE Dial up the drama with disco-glam crimping — AW19-20’s take on OTT texture. But forget the scorching, sizzling crimpers of decades past; the current tools will keep strands at a healthy temperature, so you can clamp away with confidence. Or avoid heat altogether by plaiting wet hair before bed – you’ll wake up to fuss-free, low-key kinks. DREAM WEAVER SEEN AT: PRADA, TORY BURCH, MAX MARA Braids were served up several ways this season, so you’re spoilt for choice. Start with two schoolgirl plaits, then drape your hair to cover your ears for a cool, Wednesday Addams-like vibe à la Prada, or keep things loose and carefree to create a bohemian look. For a bit more sophistication,…

FIRST, FRECKLES ARE NORMAL Along with hair makeovers and baby bumps, the barefaced freckle reveal has become an Instagram moment. Christina Aguilera, Lady Gaga, Kylie Jenner and Bella Hadid have all shared theirs, to much fanfare. Kesha even used her reveal to send a message of self-love. A smattering of freckles feels youthful and sweet, like the signature of a pretty make-under, but where exactly do they come from? “Freckles are a result of melanin overproduction as your skin tries to protect you from the sun,” explains Los Angeles-based dermatologist Dr Annie Chiu. When melanocyte cells absorb UV light, they produce more melanin as a defence mechanism — hence tanning. Within freckles, melanocytes are more active, making these areas even darker. Why do some people have freckles while others don’t?…

6.30AM: PUPPY LOVE “I wake up to the sound of my dog tapping her paws on the bed. I swear she has a timer! She sits on her back legs and patiently waits for me to get up like, ‘I’m ready!’ So I feed her, take her out, and that’s when my day starts.” 7AM: CLASS ACT “If I’m going to work out, it has to be in the morning or I’ll just make excuses later. I  have a herniated disc, so I’m doing Pilates and yoga classes until I can get back into the workout game. Modo Yoga [in Los Angeles] has a hot room so you come out drenched and feeling good. Sometimes they do theme days where they only play George Michael or Queen, which is so…

I KNEW I’D FOUND the right surgeon to perform my breast reduction when I took off my shirt and she said simply, “Let’s get these off you.” As I sat on the crinkly paper sheet on the exam table in her office, she explained that the two- to five-hour surgery would involve cutting into the lower part of my breasts, removing excess fat, skin and tissue, repositioning my nipples and then stitching me back up. My only thought was, “Finally.” My road to reduction started in September 2017, when I first filled out the paperwork to get the procedure – formally referred to as a reduction mammoplasty – covered by my insurance here in Toronto, Canada, where I live. The paperwork served as proof that the procedure was medically necessary…

GEORGES ANTONI @georgesantoni One of Australia’s premier fashion photographers (and father to 19-month-old Valentina), Antoni snapped “Photo Finish” on p112. On my playlist: I love podcasts – at the moment I’m listening to Against The Rules. And music-wise, I like Tones And I, and the “Baby Shark” song. On my reading list: That’s Not My Duck... On my to-do list: Printing photos for my daughter’s room. I never seem to be able to get to it. On my wish list: A weekend off – my ultimate indulgence. On my bucket list: Chile. On my blacklist: Large corporations. JANE GILMORE @fixeditheadline The journalist, who’s bringing awareness to how women are represented in the media through her Fixed It campaign, shares why the project is so important on p72. On my playlist:…

“THERE IS NOW A HEADBAND for EVERY TASTE” THE OVERARCHING CONUNDRUM of spring-racing style has always been this: how do you get more mileage out of that fabulous fascinator/hat/general headwear item once you’ve left the track? Miuccia Prada single-handedly solved that riddle when she sent padded, ’60s-style headbands down Prada’s SS19 runway. Suddenly, everyone wanted to wear headbands again – and the ripple effect was huge. From giant leather iterations riddled with punky studs to green satin versions with a mod feel and saccharine-sweet pink velvet options littered with pearls, there’s now a headband for every taste and occasion. The brands to watch? Jennifer Behr and Wald Berlin are established go-tos, while Miu Miu, Simone Rocha and Sophie Buhai all have compelling new headwear offerings. Take cues from women like…

SLIDE ON OVER Hair accessories were all over the AW19-20 runways, with our favourite labels showcasing cool new ways to style them. Versace offered a characteristically OTT layer-’em-up take and Oscar De La Renta had us swooning with romantic bows and delicate gold clips, while Chanel’s sweet barrettes have proven to be street-style must-haves. HATS ON Thanks to the renaissance of high-end millinery, there’s currently a bountiful offering of hats available. From Dior’s elegant bucket hats (who knew?) to a coterie of versatile straw boaters, the styles will keep up with trackside trends while being classic enough to wear long after the race days have finished. “OPT FOR CHIC BLACK AND WHITE FOR AAMI VICTORIA DERBY DAY.”– CAROLINE TRAN, ELLE FASHION EDITOR WEAR IT WITH… LAYERED JEWELLERY Mix’n’match has long…

“PEARLS BRING PRETTY POLISH TO A LADYLIKE LOOK COME KENNEDY OAKS DAY.”– CAROLINE TRAN, ELLE FASHION EDITOR TWICE THE FUN There are two distinct shoes styles we’re coveting: square-toe heels, popularised by Bottega Veneta (although there are plenty of great high-street options available), and minimal strappy sandals à la The Row. Better yet, do both at once. WEAR THEM WITH… AN ANKLET This season, it’s all about the anklet. But unlike the ones you wore in your teens, anklets are now more haute than hippie – think gold, pearls and gems. One on each ankle looks particularly great, especially when worn with a mid- or kitten-heel.…

WHILE KAITLYN DEVER wasn’t exactly an unknown when Booksmart was released earlier this year – most notably, she appeared as the girlfriend of Timothée Chalamet’s character in Beautiful Boy – it is undoubtedly what has put her firmly in our consciousness. The film, Olivia Wilde’s directorial debut, also saw Beanie Feldstein shake her “Jonah Hill’s sister” tag to become a comedic force in her own right. Together, the duo carried a coming-of-age story that felt brand new – one that set the bar for making a teen movie with any credibility in 2019 and beyond. So it feels only right to pick her brain on it. The film was something Dever knew she wanted to be a part of immediately. “Roles like this for young women don’t come around that…

EVERYONE DREADS A SPRING CLEAN, but getting your finances in order doesn’t need to be as laborious as the fallout of a Tidying Up With Marie Kondo marathon. Firstly, get clear on your financial standing with a free budget planner, like the one on ASIC’s Money Smart website. You can itemise your income and expenses to easily see if you’re spending more than you earn, then what expenses may need to be cut, or how much extra income you might need to make on the side to improve your financial position. If your superannuation needs a boost, consider the new Longevity app. For $2 a month, you can select a percentage – one to five per cent – of what you’re spending on everyday purchases to top up your super…

“FIXED IT has been my project and my passion for the past four years. It’s a simple name for a simple action against a complex problem – correcting headlines about men’s violence against women so they accurately describe a crime. This wasn’t something I planned. It came from a moment of frustration flung out to social media and resulted in a massive research project and an entire book on the various ways news media represents, misrepresents or just doesn’t represent women at all. It started with a headline that blamed a fatal stabbing on a woman taking a selfie: “Townsville police say selfie could have led to alleged stabbing murder.” It continued through all the astounding excuses headlines have given to men who kill women – shoes, bacon, jealousy, mothers,…

IF OUR ONGOING OBSESSION with Prince, Bowie, Madonna and Blondie proves anything, it’s that we still have a special reverence for all things ’80s. But even by that standard, the decade of glam rock has permeated popular culture at a whole new level in 2019. It all started in January when Bohemian Rhapsody took the awards season by storm, putting Queen back in the music charts for the first time in nearly 30 years. In June, Madonna released her 14th album and found herself in the exact same position she has occupied for most of her career: courting controversy as a woman who shuns convention. And the release of Rocketman saw Elton John, in all his OTT glory, catapulted back into the zeitgeist (and onto our shores for a string…

CREAM Finding a cleanser that can remove every last scrap of the day’s makeup without stripping the skin can be tough going, but Kate Somerville’s creamy formulation will do you one better. It might feel a little strange as you massage it in, but the rich lotion-like texture cuts through even your most stubborn waterproof mascara, while also hydrating a parched complexion like nobody’s business. BALM When it comes to skincare, serums and lotions tend to steal the show, but La Prairie’s opulent new cleanser will turn your bathroom into a veritable day spa. It starts as a balm that liquefies into an oil as it’s massaged into the skin, then transforms into a milk when emulsified with water. Wipe away excess with the provided muslin cloth and marvel at…

While freckles and sunspots generally don’t become cancerous, moles can, and it can be hard to distinguish between them. Keep an eye on all your spots, and if you notice any of these five signs, consult a  dermatologist. A – Asymmetry: When the halves of a spot don’t match up, it may be a  sign of irregular cells. B – Border: Malignant moles tend to have uneven, notched or bumpy edges. C – Colour: Inconsistent colour in the mole could signal a possible issue. D – Diameter: If it’s bigger than 5mm, it may be cause for concern. E – Evolving: It’s important to report any changes in size, shape, colour or elevation to your doctor.…

“I swear by the True Me styling iron. It heats really fast and the keratin-infused plates protect the strands. Hair is left shinier and more polished than with other irons.” 1. Original styler, $179, TRUE ME, trueme.com.au ”I love this texturising spray. It builds amazing volume while absorbing oil at the roots of the hair and it also offers great UV protection.” 2. Dry Texturizing Spray, $66, ORIBE, adorebeauty.com.au “The Goldwell Kerasilk Blow-Dry Spray gives the hair ‘memory’ so it retains wave or curl, helping it stay bouncy for hours. It’s my secret for a lasting blow-dry.” 3. Kerasilk Repower Volume Blow-Dry Spray, $35.95, GOLDWELL, goldwell.com.au “I always have multiples of this styling cream because it does everything! It primes, hydrates, protects from heat and humidity and just makes the…

Just like in Canada, breast reductions aren’t covered by all Australian private health funds – for it to be covered, you usually need a top- or mid-tier policy. The requirements for approval vary between providers, with Medicare needing to deem the procedure medically necessary, backed up by information from your doctor (Medicare also offers rebates in some circumstances). But if you’re interested, you’re not alone. Medicare data shows that more than 11,000 breast reduction surgery claims were processed in 2017, with a 50 per cent increase in the number of Australian women under 25 undergoing the procedure since 2012.…

“OUR COTTAGE MANAGES to BE INTERESTING in a CALM, RELAXED WAY” 1. BOSCH GLM 50 C Professional Laser Measure ($209, bosch-pt.com.au) It sounds geeky, but a laser measuring tape was the first thing I bought myself when I started my own business. It’s the fastest and most precise way to measure a space. 2. CONTAX T3 point-and-shoot film camera (available to buy second hand) A film camera barely gets a look-in these days, but it really is a lovely way to capture memories – and a test of patience waiting to get the photos developed. 3.

THE BUSINESS OF LOVE I’ve fallen for my boss. I’ve fallen so badly in love that I can’t sleep. I have no way of expressing these emotions because my workplace is so strict that I’d get fired for even telling him. Plus, my husband has no clue that I love someone else. My boss is in his forties, and I’m 25. Age doesn’t matter, and I just want to start getting some sleep at night. Please help! My career is going well. Should I quit my job, find a new one and then tell him I love him? Or should I stay where I am and embarrass him in front of his co-workers? Either way, I need to say something. – SLEEPLESS IN SYDNEY Sleepless, my turnip: You’re dying of…

“MILLINERY IS RESPONSIBLE for SOME of THE MOST EXCITING ACCESSORIES ON THE MARKET” GIANT CHANDELIER EARRINGS, micro (and macro) handbags, the return of anklets and lashings of pearls – fashion has never been as infatuated with adornments as it is right now. The same goes for north of the neck. Where millinery may once have been considered an old-fashioned enterprise, it is now responsible for some of the most exciting accessories on the market, from Jacquemus’ oversized straw hats to Dior’s highly coveted veiled bucket hats. It’s no surprise then that a new crop of headwear designers are bursting onto the scene. Just over a year ago, a trio of New York-based girlfriends, Nicole Najafi, Lucy Laucht and Johanna Peet, tracked down the maker of Georgia O’Keeffe’s iconic toppers and…

“LEXUS MELBOURNE CUP DAY CALLS FOR YOUR MOST FASHION - FORWARD LOOK, AND BIG - SHOULDERED VOLUME FITS THE BILL PERFECTLY.”– CAROLINE TRAN, ELLE FASHION EDITOR BOLD SHOULDER Flirty, feminine, oh-so-’80s dresses were front and centre at the AW19-20 shows, with our favourite iterations found at Giambattista Valli, Prabal Gurung and Louis Vuitton. They are, incidentally, perfect for spring racing – especially those with retro-chic statement shoulders. GET SLEEVED Slip dresses have dominated our wardrobes for years and, while we remain committed, we’re also in the mood for something new. Namely, sleeves! Long silk dresses with full-length sleeves were everywhere at the shows: deconstructed and embellished with chains at Marni, fluid and figure-hugging at Cushnie and with vintage detailing in a heavenly shade of indigo at Chloé. Wear them with…

The Melbourne Cup Carnival calls for bold fashion choices, so play up flirty florals with a statement headpiece and head-turning heels. A bejewelled headband, lace gloves and top-handle bag up the daytime glamour factor. Add some sparkle to classic black and white with light-catching jewels. Not a hat fan? Double up on pearl-laden hair slides in a modern twist to tradition.…

IN THE 1930S, after watching a friend fumble with a clunky cigarette lighter, inventor George G Blaisdell created one of America’s most enduring icons: the Zippo. Designed to be used in a single, swift movement, the reliable, weatherproof lighter became a symbol of utility-cool – and its status as a dignified, sexy accessory endures today. (Gladly, the same can’t be said for tobacco.) At the SS19 shows last year, utility again reigned. We saw belt bags, oversized pockets, safari suiting and durable fabrics. Our heads tilted at the thought of integrity intertwined with function. And like with the sports-luxe trend of seasons past, the auto industry was already practising its hand at modern classics with a purpose. In Australia, SUVs account for around 43 per cent of the new-car market,…

PIN-UP GIRL Barrettes are big this season, but for more of an effortless look, take your cue from Mary Katrantzou and Blumarine and opt for a single bobby pin…

“I’m constantly on the go, so all my beauty products are separated into categories, then organised in their own bags. I love Rihanna’s Reb’l Fleur travel set because it has everything I need: a  full-size fragrance, shower gel, travel-size fragrance and body moisturiser with a bit of glitter for extra glow. It all smells amazing.” 1, 3, 5. Reb’l Fleur four-piece set, $39.99, RIHANNA, chemistwarehouse.com.au “I travel so much that it’s hard to commit to a super complicated routine, but I’m fastidious about cleansing and moisturising. I’m constantly wearing heavy makeup for work and it dehydrates my skin, so it’s important for me to look after it. I use QV’s Gentle Cleanser followed by the cleansing foam – the products are so accessible and effective, plus they’re Australian.” 2. Face…

LIKE CHANEL’S signature tweed jackets, one spritz of this white-flower bouquet — which is sweetened with red berries, vanilla and sandalwood — adds instant sophistication to any outfit. 1. Gabrielle Essence, $254 for 100ml, CHANEL, 1300 242 635 IT’S HARD TO put your finger on what makes this genderless elixir of chamomile, green apple, sandalwood and vanilla so addictive, but that’s exactly what Alessandro Michele dreamt of – a scent that keeps you guessing. 2.

WHEN GLOSSIER STARTED selling face mist and skin tint in 2014, a devoted fan base was born almost overnight. Loyalists commented on images of Glossier’s highlighters and cream eyeshadows with all the zeal of a real-life bestie: “Dreeeeeamyyy.” “J’adore.” “Stunning.” But earlier this year, Glossier and its BFFs had a bit of a falling-out. The brand launched a bright makeup line called Play, and the negative pile-on was swift. Play’s Glitter Gelée, a gel pot of paillettes designed to make your eyelids sparkle like disco balls, caused outcries due to the non-biodegradable glitter. Eye pencils that arrived individually wrapped in foil and then boxed led to laments about excessive packaging. As one commenter, Elise from Canada, put it, “This kind of thing is not acceptable when there are so many…

BERLIN “YOU don’t HIT THE CLUBS UNTIL 2AM and YOU CAN PARTY UNTIL LUNCHTIME THE NEXT DAY” BY SABINE NEDELCHEV, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF AT ELLE AND ELLE DECORATION GERMANY Berlin is a late-night city. Forget midnight – here, you don’t hit the clubs until 2am, and you can party until lunchtime the next day.
