Each year, the Met Gala is like Christmas for a magazine office. All the wonderful (and weird!) looks are such a gift. As the event kicks off, the WHO team gather around the TV, or each other’s computer monitors, to check out each new A-lister as they arrive on the red carpet, and then make sure the unforgettable outfits feature in the mag. This year, Kim Kardashian rocking Marilyn Monroe’s original “Happy Birthday, Mr President” gown stole the show for me – what a statement! That she could barely walk up the stairs in the dress was beside the point. Check out all the incredible frocks and shocks from page 4. This week, I’m proud to share that WHO is supporting an important initiative: Unhoused, which is campaigning for safe…

Strolling through New York City’s Central Park on April 28, Katie Holmes was the picture of a woman in love – and the man on her arm looked utterly smitten, too. The former Mrs Tom Cruise, 43, and Bobby Wooten III went public with their new relationship, and the handsome musician even got the seal of approval from a very special person – Holmes’ mum Kathy! When they weren’t kissing, cuddling and walking arm in arm, Wooten was also embracing Kathy, who joined the pair on their weekday walk.“He’s an amazing guy, very kind, super-talented and just an all-round cool guy,” a source tells People magazine of the handsome 33-year-old, who’s playing bass guitar for Moulin Rouge! The Musical. “He’s a highly accomplished bassist and musician, and is as chill…

There’s nothing like a pandemic to conceal a pregnancy. Just ask Downton Abbey actress Laura Carmichael, who secretly welcomed a baby boy in 2021 with her co-star, Michael C Fox. Carmichael, who plays Lady Edith Crawley, and Fox, who portrays footman Andy Parker, welcomed little Luca way back in March last year. A source tells The Sun, “Laura and Michael absolutely love being parents and were grateful to have some time away from the limelight to enjoy the moment.”And just like her foray into acting, “Laura’s taken motherhood in her stride and it’s added another string to her bow.” Carmichael, 35, and Fox, 33, began dating in 2016 after meeting on the set of the smash-hit period drama. Last month, Carmichael said she’d been passing the time working or watching…

His Carpool Karaoke segments turned out to be the thing the world never knew it needed. And after seven wonderful years at the helm of The Late Late Show, James Corden is taking them away. In a teary monologue he delivered at the opening of his wildly popular evening show on April 28, the British actor and comedian, 43, announced he is quitting his hosting gig early next year. “I never want this show to overstay its welcome,”Corden said. “I really think in a year from now that will be a good time to move on to see what else is out there,” he added. Following reports that the star would be moving back to the UK, Corden clarified he’d made no decision about leaving the US just yet.…

For decades, Jennifer Aniston has stayed in absolutely incredible shape, thanks to an ongoing commitment to making extremely healthy choices. From the moment she wakes up in the modern Bel Air mansion she’s called home since 2011, the star, 53, starts her day by taking care of herself, kicking off her morning right with a protein-rich breakfast. “I have warm lemon water and then I have a shake or avocado and eggs, which is one of my favourites,” she has shared, once boasting that during the pandemic, she learned to cook eggs “every which way”. Sometimes to give her porridge a protein boost, the star employs a trick she learned from ex-husband Justin Theroux, 50, who she was married to from 2015 until 2017. “Right before the oatmeal is finished…

It’s been 16 years since Dave Graham won hearts with his megawatt smile and endearing honesty. And a lot has changed for the self-proclaimed “token gay cowboy” since his TV debut on the sixth season of Big Brother Australia in 2006. “Growing up gay in the bush within an extremely conservative and homophobic family and community there were really only two options to being my true self,” Graham, 42, tells WHO. “Move as far away as possible or kill ourselves,” he adds. But appearing on reality TV gave Graham a third option, allowing him to “come out” to his housemates and the nation and be free to be himself. “Big Brother is completely responsible for the life I have now as I couldn’t see any other way I could come…

“I’m a born entertainer. When I open the fridge and the light goes on, I burst into song”—WILLIAMS I only had one ambition, which is to be famous,” Robbie Williams once admitted of his goals before joining Take That. It’s an ambition that the musician has more than achieved after he went on to sell more than 77 million records worldwide and was named the 11th greatest frontman of all time by Q magazine. Williams joined the British boy band after his mum, Janet Williams, saw an advertisement in the paper and encouraged him to audition. While fame was his ultimate goal, it hasn’t always brought the born entertainer happiness. Over his 30-plus years in the spotlight, Williams has been open and honest about his struggles with mental health, addiction…

After spending years deep in the grip of a pandemic, we’ve bid farewell to applying a full face of makeup daily with endless products.

Y2K AGAIN The year 2000 is still invading the fashion scene, with countless designers including the decade in their most recent collections. From low-rise jeans to glittery diamantés, cropped tees and kitten heels, it’s a hard trend to get right without looking like you’re stuck in your high school days. Your best bet is to stick to the accessories route – think a chic baguette bag and playful jewels. Style these nostalgic pieces with minimalist outfits to keep your look modern and ageless. PLATFORM HEELS Vintage vibes are here to stay with ’70s-style platform heels showing up yet again on the international catwalks. With satin finishes a big hit, those wary of sky-high heels needn’t worry – lower, more practical versions are still very much on trend. They’re a great…

Shedding a tear is normal biological behaviour that’s part of the human condition, but not everyone finds it easy to do. “People often see crying as a sign of weakness, but it’s actually a sign of strength because it shows you’re able to tolerate your emotions by letting them go,” says psychologist Dr Judy Hyde. In most cases, crying happens for one of three main reasons: to clear out harmful irritants, prevent dryness, or in response to strong emotions such as joy or sadness. So while it might seem tempting to put on a brave face, here are five reasons it’s healthier to have a good cry … 1. IT CLEANS AND PROTECTS YOUR EYES “Starting with their most basic function, tears are produced to cleanse and protect your eyes…

There’s rarely anything about politics that’ll make you laugh, but the team at Gruen Nation are promising to do their best when they get back on our boxes in the lead up to the Australian Federal Election. Wil Anderson, Todd Sampson and Russel Howcroft, who hope to be back before a studio audience, will dissect all the tricks of the campaign trail, television and TikTok that politicians use to try and snag our precious votes.

In the latest instalment of the beloved Marvel franchise, Dr Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) casts a forbidden spell that opens a multiverse, which includes many versions of himself. The spell is a huge threat to humanity and too strong for even Strange himself, his sidekick Wong (Benedict Wong) and Wanda Maximoff, aka Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), to overcome. In this Sam Raimidirected blockbuster, Strange will call on mystical allies both old and new to save humanity. (In cinemas now)…

It started off “as a bit of fun” with mates, recording songs that he grew up listening to, and became his biggest selling solo album. To celebrate its 30th anniversary, Jimmy Barnes is releasing Soul Deep 30, a remastering of the original with four new tracks added. Among the new classics is ‘Reflections’, a collaboration with his Cold Chisel bandmate, Ian “Mossy” Moss. The tour, which will visit Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne during June and July, promises to be a family affair, with Barnes’ daughter’s band Mahalia Barnes and The Soul Mates supporting him, and son David Campbell appearing at one show, too. And Barnes hints that crowds might even get a special guest on stage: “We might even get Jane up!” (Soul Deep 30 is out Jun. 3.…

After tying the knot, Ewan McGregor is wasting no time getting to the honeymoon stage. The actor, 51, and his love of four years, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, 37, couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they popped out to lunch on April 26. The loved-up couple had exchanged vows during an understated and intimate ceremony at their home in Topanga Canyon, Los Angeles, just days earlier. “It was a small wedding for family and close friends,” a source close to the couple told People magazine. “They had an outdoor ceremony. It was lovely and joyful.” The insider also added that we should expect more subdued behaviour from the notoriously private celebrity couple as they start their married life together, rather then any Hollywood antics. “They are pretty low-key and…

At one point during his sell-out headline performance at Coachella on April 15, an eagle-eyed fan captured the moment Harry Styles spotted his girlfriend, Olivia Wilde, from the stage. After spying her amongst more than 100,000 fans, he smiled and said, “This is for you, babe,” before breaking into his track ‘Golden’. Wilde was also snapped by fans dancing in the crowd with pals like James Corden and singing along to her man’s hit song ‘Adore You’ in the VIP section. “Olivia and Harry have an ease to their relationship, they love and support each other, but also let each other be free and work on their own,” a Us Weekly source has said about the duo’s strong connection. “Both of them respect the other’s work and never want to…

BREAKFAST After her hot water and lemon, Aniston has a cup of coffee with low-fat milk and stevia. Then, if not having eggs and avocado, she makes a protein smoothie with “bananas, cherries, blackberries, a greens powder, a collagen peptide, a little cacao powder, chocolate stevia drop and chocolate almond milk,” she says. LUNCH & DINNER The star’s preferred midday meal is seared ahi tuna with cucumber and lentil salad dressed with olive oil. “I use Bragg’s amino acids to replace soy sauce,” says Aniston. Dinner, she has said, is usually “some form of vegetables or salad with protein – pretty basic.” SNACKS Apple with almond butter or nuts and cut-up raw vegetables are her go-to snacks – and pasta carbonara is a favoured treat!…

After two decades of living in the spotlight, Paris Hilton has become accustomed to being an open book. Having shared all the over-the-top specifics of her wedding to venture capitalist Carter Reum, she’s now happily spilling details about the couple’s imminent baby plans. “We both cannot wait to be parents. Right now, it’s just about timing,” the international DJ-turned-business mogul tells WHO. “But hopefully, you will be seeing a little Paris or a little Carter soon! We’re so excited. It’s just all about finding the right time.” In planning to expand her love bubble to include children, Hilton has turned to IVF, revealing that she asked her long-time friend Kim Kardashian – who welcomed two children via surrogate – for advice. “She was the one who told me about that,…

On the outside, Rachael Natoli’s life looked picture perfect. She lived comfortably in Sydney’s affluent eastern suburbs with her partner and she was a proud mum to twin sons. “But just because externally everything looked OK, the truth was my life was far from perfect,” Natoli, 40, tells WHO. “My ex was emotionally, physically, sexually and financially abusive,” she says. “I had an incredible case worker”- NATOLI After an eight-year relationship, former primary school teacher-turned-nanny Natoli, who had moved from the UK to Australia to be with her ex, found the courage to leave with her then-2-year-old sons. It was then that she found herself unexpectedly experiencing homelessness. “Being homeless doesn’t always mean sleeping on the street,” she explains. “Homelessness and housing insecurity is a huge problem for many women,…

What are your skincare essentials? When I was little, my mum taught me to cleanse, tone and moisturise. It’s always been my thing. I’m that weirdo who, even when blackout drunk, will remove my makeup and cleanse my face. I’ll wake up feeling awful but my skin is thanking me. What does your beauty routine look like? I do a double cleanse! I use Clinique’s Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm, which is an oil cleanser. It is amazing for when I’m working on set. The champion for me then is the Clinique Clarifying Lotion. Once you’ve got clean skin, you’re giving it a fighting chance to be able to look its best. I then use Clinique’s Moisture Surge 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator Moisturiser – it’s just incredible. Talk us through…

From vibrant reds to serene blues, colour can have a big impact on our emotions and perceptions. But could the properties of colour itself have a healing effect? That’s the principle behind chromotherapy, an increasingly popular treatment. The theory is that wavelengths of different colours can be used for a range of benefits, including everything from anti-ageing, to relaxation, to weight loss and pain relief. “Essentially each colour of the light spectrum has its own wavelength, and each of these wavelengths are used to promote different properties to the body and mind,” explains Madeline Calfas, founder of thewellnessgroup.net.au. “It’s the exact same principle as using lasers to remove hair, pigmentation and redness or blood vessels – the wavelength used will determine the effect.” WHERE IS IT USED? An increasingly popular…

Have you ever had a feeling about something that you couldn’t quite shake? Call it intuition, gut instinct or a sixth sense, but most of us know what it’s like to experience that nagging feeling in the pit of our stomach that so often turns out to be correct. Now, as we learn more about the gut-brain connection, researchers are also investigating how our guts can affect our emotions. “As [it’s] one of our most vital organs, it’s no surprise that nourishing your gut through good nutrition may lead to positive physical benefits,” explains nutritionist and psychic Anna Boyd. “However, there is also exciting evidence emerging that there may be more science behind our ‘gut feelings’ than first thought, with suggestions of a gut-brain connection that has a two-way influence…

Leah Purcell is “petrified” – and loving it. At 51, and with a lifetime of work behind her, the proud Goa-Gunggari-Wakka Wakka Murri woman from Queensland is looking for challenges and finding them both in front of and, for the first time, behind the camera. In The Drover’s Wife The Legend of Molly Johnson, Purcell makes her feature film debut as both director and writer – and did we mention she stars and sings in it, too. “I love ageing and the security that comes with that, but I also love doing something where I’m petrified, where I’m scared again,” she tells WHO. “To take on all those roles, to not be the know-it-all, I love it. For me, I think I’ve just started. The flower has been cocooned and…

When was the last time you laughed until you cried? Whenever I’m tired, it doesn’t take much to set off the giggles that turn into wild laughter with watering eyes. Last time you danced? I danced in the kitchen to ‘There is Something On Your Mind’ by Big Jay McNeely. I was on my own and danced like no-one was watching while my dinner cooked. Last TV obsession? I watched Schitt’s Creek – that show changed my life. I can’t believe it took me years to start watching it. The behind-the-scenes episode at the end had me in tears the entire time. Best TV show I’ve seen! Last wardrobe malfunction? I was wearing a beautiful dusty pink linen dress that my mum made for me to wear on this season…

As Australia’s “golden girl” of swimming, Lisa Curry has lived a life of incredible achievements and devastating losses. And while she used to measure her moments in seconds – the difference between being defeated or smashing a world record – as she approaches a milestone birthday on May 15, the former elite athlete is reflecting on her years. “I’m turning 60 this year and now it feels like the right time to share my story, with all its highs and lows,” the three-time Olympian tells WHO of her new memoir, Lisa: A Memoir – 60 Years of Life, Love & Loss. “I hope by sharing my story I can help other people who may be experiencing some of the things my family and I have experienced.” In 1986, Lisa seemed…

WHAT IS IT? A sleek and stylish juicer designed for maximum results. THE VERDICT “I originally wanted to try this juicer to give the latest trend of celery juice a go, but quickly started using it to make everything from nut milk, orange and carrot juice to sorbets using frozen fruits. “It’s not difficult to put together, and simple enough to pull apart and wash thoroughly. “While the price tag is a bit out there, I use mine every day, so I see it as a great investment. “My only forewarning is that it’s quite large, so those with smaller kitchens will have to store elsewhere to not take up too much bench space!” Cost: MOD Cold Press Juicer + Wellness Bundle, $499, modappliances.com…

The national drink of Peru and a real South American favourite, pisco is something of an enigma in Australia. Simply put, it’s an unaged type of brandy made by distilling fermented grape juice. It’s clear in colour and can be quite a high-proof spirit. Some say it’s similar to the Italian drink grappa, because both are made from grape. Others compare it to tequila because of its similar earthy flavours. In reality, however, pisco has its own unique personality with a fresh bouquet of aromatics and a touch of sweetness on the palate, although some piscos can taste more bitter or herbaceous. HOW TO DRINK The best way to enjoy pisco is by replacing your regular clear spirit with pisco when creating cocktails at home. Or find a new cocktail…

Like the soul classics he recorded more than 30 years ago, Cold Chisel frontman Jimmy Barnes is getting better with age. In fact the 66-year-old, who now lives a sober life after years of drug and alcohol abuse, reckons his best years are still ahead of him. “I’m singing better. I’m more connected to my emotions and to what I’m singing about,” he tells WHO from his home in the NSW Southern Highlands. “I keep learning now. Hopefully, my best work is still to come.” As he prepares for the release of his album Soul Deep 30 and tour (see below), Barnesy, as he is affectionately known, says he’s been more productive than ever during the past two years, working on three albums, a novel, a cookbook and a children’s…

When Ellis Gunn sat down to write her novel, she thought it was going to be about homesickness. However, what resulted was her own firsthand account of being the victim of a stalker. “A recent study in Victoria found that one in four people had been stalked at some point in their lives, and that women were twice as likely to be stalked as men,” Gunn tells WHO, admitting she didn’t think she’d be one of those statistics. “It was a huge shock to realise that a stranger could just decide to follow me and there was nothing I could do about it.” When asked if the tome felt like a form of therapy, Gunn says it wasn’t, but admits it did feel empowering to finally speak out about the…
