Ever since the first season of The Crown arrived on our screens, I’ve been gripped. I can’t wait for the upcoming fifth season (airing on Netflix from November 9). And thanks to the behind-the-scenes pics that have emerged from filming of its final season (to air next year), the program is courting controversy for portraying the final days leading up to Princess Diana’s death. Some feel that recreating those events is insensitive, both in light of the Queen’s death and that it could be re-traumatising for Princes William and Harry in particular. There’s no doubt that the scenes seem eerily accurate. You can check them out on page 6. Another Netflix series that had us talking in the office recently was Inventing Anna. Now that the real-life fraudster,…

It’s official: Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady have called it quits on their 13 years of marriage. The former glamour couple broke the news via Instagram, with the supermodel, 42, telling fans they simply “grew apart”. As for the NFL quarterback, he followed up his own social media announcement with an episode of his Let’s Go! podcast, where he said “the good news is” the divorce is “very amicable”. After months of reports about a split, Brady, 45, told fans, “I’m really focused on two things – taking care of my family and certainly my children, and secondly, doing the best job I can to win football games.” In a recent interview with Elle, Bündchen implied her ex-husband’s number-one focus was his job. She said she wanted him to be…

THE MELBOURNE RIPPER THIS EVIL KILLER TERRORISED WOMEN FOR DECADES Long before Peter Dupas became one of Australia’s most vicious murderers and serial rapists, he was known as a “nice, ordinary guy”. But Dupas was anything but ordinary – he terrorised Melbourne for three decades. Described as a serial sexual sadist, Dupas began his spree in 1968 at the age of 15 when he attacked his neighbour with a knife. The woman was stabbed in the face, neck and hands, telling Seven’s true-crime series Beyond the Darklands she was shocked because Peter was the “model child”. “He was loving and caring. He was perfect. But I was later told that he was very good at being like that.” During the attack, Sue (not her real name) claims, “He was trying…

WELLNESS While he might be a former reality star, Matt Agnew is taking the road less travelled by The Bachelor alumni. The 35-year-old astrophysicist has returned to the spotlight, not with a boxing match or a podcast, but with his first book, Dr Matt’s Guide to Life in Space. In conversation with WHO, Agnew candidly speaks about keeping a low profile when it comes to his personal life and why it doesn’t stop him from taking to Instagram to speak on social issues and science... ON SOBRIETY March marked two years sober for Agnew, 35, and while he speaks confidently about his new-found love for alcohol-free beer, he admits it took 12 months to be entirely comfortable turning down a drink with friends. “You do stand out when you’re not…

STYLE IT FOR THE OFFICE For casual Fridays, add a simple tank and relaxed blazer in warm tones to balance out the coolness of the jeans. A simple flat and tan accessory will tie it all together and keep it smart for the working week. STYLE IT FOR A HOLIDAY Try dressing up your swimsuit while on a getaway with the addition of white jeans. The jeans can make your swimsuit look like a top, while covering up the bottom half for an afternoon at the bar. Add a simple sandal and this will be your new holiday staple! STYLE IT FOR THE BAR Steer clear of just a black-and-white palette and take white pants into the night with some bright, sparkly extras instead. A sequin top is…

TOOTH CARE THAT CARES If like me, you’re conscious of household waste, brands like Vital are worth looking into. I started with this plastic-free Starter Kit, which includes their toothbrush tablets, biodegradable floss and toothbrush, plus a very shiny copper tongue scraper – which everyone needs, by the way! Would you like botox with that? That’s the question becoming more and more frequent across skincare clinics – and now also at your local dentist! The pursuit of the perfect selfie smile is big business and now Australian dentists are making it even easier to achieve with add-ons to your general teeth check-ups, including muscle relaxing injections, fillers, fat dissolving and even thread lifts (a type of non-surgical face lift). It seems patients are no longer fully satisfied with general whitening…

One of the best ways to start exploring your own style and reinvigorating your home is through decorative displays known as vignettes. They can create new energy in your spaces, helping to awaken your senses and express what’s most important in your life. Engaging in the art of arranging meaningful pieces can make your home feel more uniquely you. You can create a vignette on almost any surface, such as a hall table or kitchen shelf, a fireplace mantel or sideboard, or even within sections of a bookshelf. Always create displays with a clear intention. What mood or emotion do you want to evoke? Choose objects that help you meet the brief you have set for the space and your home. Include elements that express your values and style. CHOOSE…

the last word What was the last gift you were given? I received a beautiful bottle of champagne as a thank you, which was appreciated and will be appreciated all over again soon enough. Last thing you learnt about yourself? I’m not as young as I used to be and not old yet either. Middle age is an interesting place to be, it’s where a lot of the years of hard work have started to pay off, but also when your body just decides it’s sore for no apparent reason. Last guilty pleasure you indulged in? Gelato Messina. I find it very hard to walk past a Messina store and not check what the specials are – just in case they have something vaguely rocky road-ish or with a brownie,…

who’s news Michelle Williams has a lot to celebrate. Not only did she recently welcome her third child, and second with husband Thomas Kail, but the 42-year-old is also ringing in her daughter Matilda’s 17th birthday. Williams and the theatre director, 44, whom she married back in 2020, were seen kissing and cuddling in New York as they watched their 2-year-old boy, Hart, explore the neighbourhood on October 30. Their newest arrival was there too, snuggled up against the actress in a baby carrier. As they made their way back to their stunning family home, a delivery of helium balloons arrived in celebration of Matilda’s birthday, which fell on October 28. During a May interview with Variety, Williams spoke about being a mother after Matilda’s father, Heath Ledger,…

Christina Applegate is finding the fun in her condition by sharing a picture on Twitter of her accessory options ahead of an event. “This will be my first time out since diagnosed with MS,” she said. “Walking sticks are now part of my new normal.” The Anchorman star, 50, shared her multiple sclerosis diagnosis in August 2021. She said at the time, “It’s been a tough road. But the road keeps going. Unless some asshole blocks it.” In the post featuring five “fancy” canes, Applegate wrote how she has a “very important ceremony coming up”. We’re hoping the event is the premiere of the final season of her hit show, Dead to Me. Despite not appearing publicly since her diagnosis, she’s kept her fans in the loop.…

It’s the split we never saw coming – Bindi and Robert Irwin are breaking with tradition and forging their own paths in business and in life, and their new endeavours couldn’t be more different. So, will their shock decision bring them closer or drive a wedge between the pair? Bindi’s exploring avenues as an influencer, plus she has a guest role on Marvel’s children’s series, Spidey and His Amazing Friends. The announcement of her new projects coincides with the release of Robert Irwin’s Australia, his $189 photography book that he says is part of his “profound passion to continue my father’s important legacy, while I’m forging my own path”. Robert’s social media statement also coincides with news that the siblings’ mother, Terri, was planning to sell their beloved Australia Zoo…

Royals Since July 2021, when it was announced that Prince Harry had struck a reported $32 million deal with Penguin Random House to publish his memoir, rumours have been swirling about what bombshells the book could drop on the family he turned his back on in January 2020. The announcement of the book’s biting title, Spare, has hinted at what readers may expect when it’s released on January 10, 2023. “The title of Harry’s book is desperately sad. Is that what he still thinks of himself?” royal author Angela Levin told UK’s The Sun. “After all the therapy, a wife he worships and freedom he longed for, he is still full of resentment.” A statement from the publisher promises that Harry tells his story in 416 pages of “raw, unflinching…

My Mum, Your Dad follows single parents on a journey to find their soulmates, courtesy of their children who play matchmaker and puppeteer, while also secretly watching their every – sometimes awkward – move. “I’m properly excited for Australia to see this amazing new series, and see how brave and vulnerable these single parents are. To dare to dream and open their hearts to love again,” the show’s host Kate Langbroek says. “There’s nobody that cares about your relationship more than your kids.” Langbroek isn’t wrong, which is exactly why their offspring have turned to the program. “It’s pretty special that these kids are secretly helping their parents.” (My Mum, Your Dad premieres Mon. Nov. 7, 7.30pm on Nine Network) PETULA & DRHYS If you’re going to love anyone this…

On hot, sticky days, there’s no greater feeling than taking a refreshing dip in the ocean or pool. But while we’re often seen as a nation of water babies, research by the Royal Life Saving Society shows that one in four Aussies identify as weak swimmers – or are unable to swim at all. Getting back in the water can be daunting. However, with plenty of studies proving swimming offers a mind and body workout like no other, it’s worth rebuilding your confidence. “When it comes to exercise benefits, swimming is in a league of its own – it combines cardio, strength training and muscle toning while also helping you to relax and de-stress,” says Ross Gage, director of Aussie Aquatics. “As an added bonus, it’s a low-impact exercise that’s…

1. PAIR IT WITH BLACK For those who are a little more conservative but want to give the bright trend a go, stick to your black staples and add a touch of a trending colour in your shoes and accessories. Green is a big one and works well with black, white or denim. 2. GO HEAD-TO-TOE If you’re unsure of where to start with a full-on tonal look, a suit might be the answer. There is a myriad of coloured suits out there so invest in a colour you love and have some fun – it’ll pay dividends in your wardrobe. Whether you wear them separately or together, this look can give you that extra bit of feel-good confidence. Go all-out and add a contrasting shoe and accessories! 3. DO…

When you hear the word hike, you’d likely think we’re talking about long walks through mountain ranges with a trekking pole in hand, but what if we said you can take a hike without travelling out of the city – and sans most of the gear? Here are three metropolitan hikes across Australia to get you stretching your legs. BONDI TO COOGEE WALK SYDNEY, NEW SOUTH WALES Explore two of Sydney’s most famous beaches on this beloved 6km paved urban trail. Start in Bondi, the pin-up model of Sydney beaches, with a bracing swim in the blue-green surf and an exploration of the tidal pools on the north-eastern rocks. From here you’ll wind south along a clifftop path edging Sydney’s posh eastern suburbs. Heading out of Bondi, don’t miss the…

ARIES MAR. 20–APR. 18 Money curve balls happen to the best of us. There could be money issues arising this week. It’s not necessarily that you’re short of cash. Perhaps there’s an unexpected expense and you’re glad you have a rainy-day fund, for example. If you don’t have a rainy-day fund, this is the ideal time to create one. Save some cash! TAURUS APR. 19–MAY 20 I realise you aren’t always the most flexible of people, but… if you tend to railroad your partner or friends, always expecting your own way, for example, this week might put you in your place. There are more relationship challenges coming up, so keep trying to do better in all your most important relationships. Be the bigger person. GEMINI MAY 21–JUN. 20 Taking care…

What films did you love growing up and what images from movies are still with you as a musician? I think that it has fluctuated over time. I’ve always really loved certain films during certain phases I was in musically. I made an album called 1989 and I would watch John Hughes’ movies. I watched Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club all the time, over and over … The Shape Of Water is one of my favourite films. Then for my record [Evermore], I was just non-stop watching Sense and Sensibility, the Ang Lee one with Kate Winslet. But with this one [her directorial debut for All Too Well: The Short Film] … there’s this period of time in the ’70s, where you started seeing these romantic films where these…

Zawe Ashton has plenty to celebrate. After recently welcoming the arrival of her first child with actor Tom Hiddleston, the 38-year-old also has her latest project, the hilarious period romantic comedy Mr. Malcolm’s List, hitting screens. She plays Julia, a female lead that’s not particularly likeable. After Mr Malcolm rejects her advances, she plots to take him down and destroy his chance at true love with her best friend. “Julia’s a woman who we discover is on the edge of desperation because of the society she lives in. She’s not made a match and her reputation dangles on the line,” Ashton tells WHO. “She does questionable things, but I almost love playing characters who don’t have to play the moral compass in a film. Hopefully she wins people over with…

who’s news Ahead of The Crown Season 5 dropping on November 9, the controversy surrounding the Netflix drama has hit fever pitch. The final two seasons of the show focus on events of the 1990s and early 2000s, a period that threw up a series of scandals from which the royals took years to recover. Season 6 looks most contentious, with new pictures showing Princess Diana’s fatal car accident – which also killed Dodi Fayed and driver Henri Paul – being recreated in a Parisian tunnel just a few metres from where the real-life 1997 crash took place. “Diana has children, she has a brother and sisters, and it affects the feelings of her entire family. They will all be hurt by the reconstruction of this accident,” Father Yves-Marie Clochard-Bossuet,…

Nick Cannon’s Christmas gift list has just expanded, after the TV and radio host revealed baby number 12 is on the way. Model Alyssa Scott, 29, announced her pregnancy via Instagram, sharing a picture of her baby bump while holding daughter Zeela, 4. “With you by my side,” she captioned the post. This is wonderful news for the model and Cannon, a year on from the death of their 5-month-old son, Zen, to a rare brain tumour. Cannon, 42, shares 10 children with six different women – his latest being a daughter, Onyx Ice Cole Cannon, on September 14. “Every day I wake up excited as a father,” he told People.…

Celebrity They’re both from large broods, so it’s no surprise Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham are keen to start a supersized family of their own. “He wants kids yesterday,” Nicola said in an interview with The Sunday Times magazine, Style. “I think in a couple of years. We definitely want a big family. He has three siblings, I have seven.” Asked if she’d outdo their families in a battle of the broods and have eight kids, Nicola, 27, said, “It’s a lot but ... I don’t know ... we want to adopt some kids, have some of our own. That would be the dream.” In August, Brooklyn, 23, could hardly contain his enthusiasm about the idea. “I’ve always wanted to be a young dad,” he told Entertainment Tonight. “I would…

Duckie Thot is so stunningly gorgeous, rapper Nicki Minaj felt the need to ask, “How are you even real?” It’s a good question and one WHO is also pondering after catching up with Thot in her home town of Melbourne, where she opened the Mumm champagne marquee at Flemington’s Birdcage. The meat pie-loving model is out-of-this-world beautiful, but gives off an easygoing air and seems unaffected by the glamorous life she leads – although Thot might disagree with that description of her day-to-day. “You know what sounds glamorous to me – working nine to five. It’s hard work what I do!” First of all, happy birthday! You turned 27 last weekend. How did you celebrate? Oh, thank you! I had dinner with some friends at Cipriani Downtown in New York…

While last month was International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, Madelaine Vasile, 31, is on a year-round mission to raise awareness and funds for The Pink Elephants Support Network, which offers support to people who’ve experienced early pregnancy loss. Madelaine set up the Heaven’s Nursery Project to help her in this mission and to provide a space for grieving families to share their stories. The project was founded after Madelaine and her husband, Joey, experienced two miscarriages earlier this year, one at seven weeks in February and another at 10 weeks in August. “I was struggling to find something to turn my pain into something positive,” Madelaine, from Sydney, tells WHO. She decided to share her story on social media. “The amount of people who reached out and who…

STEP ONE Once your locks are curled or straightened, take a section, about 5cm in width, from the middle of your hairline and gather a small triangular section of hair. STEP TWO Flip the hair back so the direction of the hair is curling away from the face and toward the back of the head. Tip Aim to style your pouf between washes, as hair holds better when it’s not silky soft. Tip For added texture, style your pouf with your hair in braids, up in a messy bun or in ponytail. STEP THREE Twist the hair firmly and gently, then push the twist back toward the face to create an elevated bump in the hair. Secure the twist to the rest of your hair with a small army of…

the hit list SIGN OF THE TIMES “I think people go in to see this film expecting to learn about a certain time in history, but really I think they will reflect on how much progress there is still to be made today for the gay community,” Corrin explains. Emma Corrin is just 26 years of age, but they’ve already played some huge roles and starred opposite big names. The Brit’s portrayal of a young Princess Diana in The Crown earned them a Golden Globe last year. In My Policeman, Corrin plays Marion Taylor, a nurse who marries Tom, a policeman (Harry Styles), only to discover that the love of her life is gay and in a relationship with Patrick (David Dawson), a museum curator who’s also a very close…

Sally Thorne’s Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match went viral on BookTok, a TikTok subcommunity that’s dedicated to reviewing and discussing literature, and now she’s reaping the rewards! “While I’m not on TikTok myself, it’s been great to know that new audiences are finding my books, sharing them with friends and enjoying the wonderful hobby that is reading fiction,” Thorne tells WHO, adding that the book’s success had lead to demand for even more. So, what’s this quirky-titled book about? “Victor Frankenstein has a spoiled, lonely sister named Angelika, who helps herself to the handsome body parts to reanimate her own dream man,” she explains. “He lives, but has total amnesia and wants to find out where he came from.”Trying to ignore their heart-pounding chemistry, the pretty and clever Angelika reluctantly…
