Since the 2024 Olympic Games began in Paris, I’ve been tuned to the action almost non-stop, becoming a couch commentator and overnight expert in several sports. With all the early mornings and late nights, quite frankly I’m exhausted, so I’ll be resting up before doing it all again when the Paralympics kick off in a couple of weeks on August 28. It’s been a joy poring over the best images from our most successful Games ever and an extremely difficult job whittling it down to just a select few moments for our wrap-up beginning on page 16. I hope some of our highlights are yours, too. Away from the sporting arena, there’s plenty of other stories to inspire you in this issue. On page 38, authorT.L. Swan tells how she…

who’s news Rihanna returned to the annual Crop Over festival in Barbados, her home country, for the first time since 2019 on Monday August 5, according to TMZ. Making an entrance, the ‘Rude Boy’ singer, 36, stunned in an elaborate bejewelled outfit with gold embellishments which weaved its way up her legs, arms and bodice. The star completed the look with feathered wings that towered over her as well as a spectacular coordinating headpiece. The mother-of-two has been keeping a low profile of late, after welcoming her second child, son Riot Rose, 1, with boyfriend A$AP Rocky, 35, in August 2023. The performers also share another son, RZA, 2, who was born in May 2022. Over the years, the Barbados native has attended the Crop Over festival, outdoing herself with…

who’s news Fans were just coming to terms with the news that Cardi B had filed for divorce from her husband, Offset, when she also revealed she is pregnant with her third child. Now, she’s had to come out in defence of her ex amid rumours he wasn’t “supportive”. Taking to the comments section of an Instagram post by The Jasmine Brand, she wrote, “Ok this is getting weird cause I can say he helps me a lot with my business and the kids.” Continuing, she shared, “Never in my career no matter what I went through I had friends or family go to the media sooo I don’t know who is this damn source going to People magazine. Even wit my filing I’m not askin for child support my…

SANDRA BULLOCK TURNS 60! In the days leading up to the sombre one-year anniversary of the death of the her soulmate, Bryan Randall, Sandra Bullock marked a milestone that most celebrities would ring in with an over-the-top celebration. But the actress, always intensely private, even more so since leaving the spotlight to care for Randall while he battled the degenerative illness ALS, turned 60 without public fanfare. It would certainly have been an emotionally tumultuous few weeks. But now friends have given an insight into how the Oscar winner has fared and what her plans are for the future. According to a source close to her friend Jennifer Aniston, Bullock is“doing OK now” thanks to her loved ones. “Her friends gave her the support that she needed both during his…

Trinny Woodall, with her razor-tongued offsider, Susannah Constantine, spent the early 2000s giving women makeovers on their straight-talking TV series, What Not to Wear. “Women hung on her every word when it came to styling because her advice was fun, easy to follow and relatable,” notes WHO’s beauty editor, Elise Wilson. “The secret to her success is how she speaks to women. I’ve met Trinny in person three times and, honestly, that woman could sell me a broken-down car and I’d buy it.” Soon after the hit show ended, Woodall was dealt a severe blow in November 2014 when her ex-husband, Johnny Elichaoff, father of her then 11-year-old daughter, Lyla, took his own life after a long battle with addiction and mental health issues. Now a single parent, she was…

1 RETINOLS FOR WRINKLES Retinol is a form of vitamin A that is most commonly found in over-the-counter skincare. “It’s very effective but less intense than other forms, so a great pick for normal, oily or aged skin,” explains Samantha Harman, Skinstitut dermal therapist and education executive. Used to help enhance skin cell turnover and reduce the signs of ageing, try its most common forms: a serum or oil. Tip Remember to start slowly when using retinol products, just once a week after moisturising. Always read the label and follow the directions for use. 2 CICA FOR REDNESS “Cica (aka Centella asiatica) is the ultimate healing ingredient,” says Harman. “It’s a herb that has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine to soothe sensitive and irritated skin, and to…

Nothing feels better than starting the week with a clean and organised home. And if you’re on social media, you may have spotted the “Sunday reset” trend in your feed. Away to ward off the also viral “Sunday scaries”, the reset is all about reorganising, decluttering and prepping for the week ahead.

The idea for Guy Montgomery’s new comedy panel show, which puts famous contestants through their paces to see who is the best speller, was conceived during COVID lockdowns. After launching it on New Zealand television, he’s bringing Guy Mont Spelling Bee to Aussie screens. Have you always been a bit of a speller? I’ve always thought I was good at spelling. English was sort of my strongest subject at school, but one of the cruel ironies of creating and hosting this ridiculous spelling bee is that I don’t really get to put myself to the test. I’ve created a show that it is so much fun to host, but I’d love to have a crack at competing, you know? Sadly, it’s not to be. What’s your assessment of comedians as…

who’s news They avoid all red carpet appearances together, and even when Ryan Gosling performed at the Oscars this year, Eva Mendes opted to stay home. But on August 4, the lure of the Paris Olympics was too much to resist, with the couple turning it into a family affair. Mendes and Gosling took their daughters, Esmeralda, 9, and Amada, 8, to the dressage individual grand prix freestyle at the Chateau de Versailles and also caught the women’s uneven bars final at Bercy Arena. The couple were last photographed at a public event together in 2015, when they appeared onstage at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, promoting Lost River, which starred Mendes, 50, and was written and directed by Gosling, 43. They’ve only walked the red carpet together once,…

Yellowstone star Luke Grimes and his model wife, Bianca Rodrigues, are expecting their first child together. In an Instagram post, Rodrigues showed off her growing bump with her reflection in a glass shower door. She captioned the post, “Can’t wait to meet you little one,” adding a red heart emoji. The last time the Brazilian-born model posted was in March, when she shared a selfie with Grimes as they prepared for a road trip. “Side by side,” she captioned the photo. The genetically blessed couple tied the knot in November 2018 and now base themselves mostly in Montana, where Yellowstone films. Devoted husband Grimes, 40, gushed about his wife to USA Today in 2023, saying, “I just wanted to make it very clear. I’m a very married person and I…

LIVES LOST After days of violence across the UK in the wake of the shocking stabbing attack at a dance party which left three girls dead, British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer warned rioters they would “face the full force of the law” in an address on August 4. “This is not protest,” Starmer said. “It is organised, violent thuggery and it has no place on our streets, or online.” Dozens of police officers have been injured in the clashes as far-right activists took to the streets in numerous cities, targetting mosques, Muslim communities and housing for asylum seekers after misinformation was circulated that the attacker was an “illegal immigrant”. By August 5, many business owners shut up shop in an effort to avoid the chaos as rioters looted and…

Angelina Jolie must be relieved to be bringing her son Pax Jolie-Pitt home after an e-bike accident saw him rushed to a Los Angeles hospital, but there’s still a long way to go before they can put the whole experience behind them. “Pax has been released from the ICU,” a source confirmed to People in the days following his admission. “He suffered complex trauma, and now begins the long road of recovery and physical therapy.” The 20-year-old was reportedly riding his electric bike without a helmet in heavy traffic on July 29 when he rammed into a car that was stopped at an intersection on Los Feliz Boulevard around 5pm. According to one of those first on the scene, Pax was unconscious and bleeding from the head. As he came…

Jessica Alba has spent her northern summer travelling in style and soaking up the sun in celebrity hot spots, including Mykonos, Greece and Provence, France with her husband, Cash Warren, and their three children, daughters Honor, 16, and Haven, who turns 13 this week, and son Hayes, 6. Alba has been married to Warren since May 2008, and in June of this year, she opened up about how her film producer husband has been a steadying influence in her life as she navigates her busy career as a businesswoman and actress. “There’s something about that ride-or-die that’s seen you through so many phases of yourself and your evolution,” she said on SiriusXM’s The Morning Mash Up. “There’s something so cool about that history.” Fans have been on the ride with…

Women who INSPIRE OUT OF THE CLOSET Today, everyone in Tee’s life knows about her books, so what do they think? “My kids used to be so embarrassed but it’s helped pay for them to travel the world, so…” she says with a laugh. “My husband read a page and shut the book.” When Tee Swan started writing erotic romance in 2013, it was something of a dirty little secret. “I didn’t tell any of my friends or family for three years,” Tee admits to WHO with a laugh. “Once people read it, they assume that it’s exactly what you’re getting up to in the bedroom every night, so it takes a lot of guts to put your name to it,” she explains. Fast forward to just over a decade…

Once upon a time, shares were something that we associated with men in grey suits. However, as other traditional assets (ahem, property) become increasingly out of reach for regular income earners, we’re starting to shed those old stereotypes. Around 42 per cent of investors are now female according to the ASX, and women also comprise half of all people who intend to invest in the future. The stock market has also been embraced by Gen Z, who account for nine per cent of Aussies investing outside of real estate and superannuation. Glen James, money expert and co-author of The Quick Start Guide to Investing, says that buying shares is a relatively achievable way to get a foothold on the investment ladder, and you don’t need a lot to get started.…

Made from recycled coffee grounds. DETANGLE ON DRY HAIR Contrary to popular belief, hair should only be brushed when dry. “I know that’s not what they say, but believe me, it’s what hair needs,” says Rumbie Mutsiwa, founder of curl salon Rumbie & Co. She explains that hair strands are physically stronger in their dry state. “Wet hair creates a temporary break of the shaft, which means that your hair is actually weaker,” she says. “Manipulating hair whilst it is weak would be the equivalent of doing a stress test. You definitely don’t want to put your locks through that.” MUTSIWA’S TOP TIP: Try brushing locks pre-wash to avoid any unruly frizz, while still maintaining your hair’s health and strand integrity.

ARIES MAR. 20–APR. 18 Denial and avoidance can only get you so far. It’s the things that you don’t want to face up to that are going to do your head in this week.

CANCER JUN. 21–JUL. 21 You’ve come too far to come this far. These days it’s harder for you to see the big picture.

who’s news While some teens never want to hang out with their mums, that’s not the case for Michelle Williams. The actress, 43, enjoyed a day out with her 18-year-old daughter, Matilda Rose Ledger, on July 30, strolling about in New York City. The mother-daughter duo were photographed walking hand in hand in Brooklyn, and treating themselves to a manicure and pedicure at a local day spa. Matilda is also the child of late Australian actor Heath Ledger – and her facial similarity to him is uncanny. Her sandy blonde hair almost bordering on brown is also just like Ledger’s own locks. And the teenager seems to have inherited her dad’s trademark cool and casual sense of style, pairing a white T-shirt with matching white pants. Although born in New…

MOVING ON A source told DailyMail.com that the couple’s Beverly Hills mansion, which they bought for $93 million in June 2023 after nearly two years of searching and which came complete with gym, boxing ring, indoor sports complex, 10-car garage and home theatre, never “felt like home”. The source noted, “It was too big, and the openness made them feel unsafe,” and that “Ben hated the house more than Jennifer”. Affleck’s new house, which, according to property records, was previously owned by David Calvert-Jones, the nephew of billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch, offers privacy and a comparatively down-to-earth lifestyle. “Ben really likes his new home and feels hopeful about the change,” a source tells Entertainment Tonight. “He wanted to move and be closer to Jen Garner and their kids to…

After quietly filing for divorce from second husband Jim Toth in March 2023, it seems Reese Witherspoon is looking for love again. The 48-year-old actress and producer was recently spotted in New York with German financier Oliver Haarmann, 56. It’s understood the pair were introduced by mutual friends and have hit it off. Although the relationship appears to be in its early stages, one source told Life and Style that Witherspoon’s adult children with first husband Ryan Phillippe are aware of the budding romance. “Supposedly, Ava and Deacon know all about the fellow Reese has been seeing and approve,” the source said. “They might have already met him when they were all in New York. Jim [Toth] has moved on, and he’s encouraged Reese to get out there, too.” According…

THE BLOCK VIRAL WEDDING Mimi’s bridal party went viral when they lip-synced to ‘What Dreams Are Made Of’ from The Lizzie McGuire Movie as they walked down the aisle. “I’m not even in the video, but now it’s got, like, 15 million views on TikTok,” Mimi tells WHO. As the new season of The Block hits screens, fans are preparing to get to know this year’s contestants, discovering favourites among those undertaking the stunning renovations.

Kendall Jenner was 10 years old when reality cameras started trailing her family for their game-changing reality show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians. As pre-teens, she and her younger sister, Kylie, mainly featured as side-characters to the drama surrounding the older members of her family – parents Kris and Caitlyn Jenner, and siblings Kourtney, Kim, Khloé and Rob – but the global attention did have its impact. “It’s a little Hannah Montana-y in a way,” Kendall explained recently in an episode of Emma Chamberlain’s Anything Goes podcast. “[But] I didn’t have a disguise, or I didn’t have a physical shift. “We went to school. We went to school as long as we could – I started home school 11th and 12th grade …so even though we had a TV show…

On November 14, 1997, Reena Virk headed out for what she thought would be a fun night with friends. Instead, the 14-year-old was savagely beaten and drowned in a case that shocked the quiet suburbs of Victoria, British Columbia. Raised as a Jehovah’s Witness by her Indian-Canadian parents, with whom she had a difficult relationship, Reena spent a little time in foster care while growing up. She was often bullied at school and had trouble making mates. So on that fateful night, when Reena was invited out by some girls at her school, including two she had met through the foster care system, she was eager to join, heading off to join the party at a local hangout near the Craigflower Bridge in Saanich. “Every time new information came to…

Are there people in your life you see and think, “I wish I had their energy?” Some people just seem to have a secret vitality source that the rest of us are searching for but struggle to find. Author Lisa O’Neill is on a mission to help people take responsibility for their energy, and change their lives in the process. Often described as a “human Berocca”, O’Neill seems to have an endless supply of energy, but it hasn’t always been that way. As O’Neill explains, 25 years ago, she lost all of her energy overnight. “At the age of 26, I had an adrenal collapse,” she says. “My body stopped working. I woke up one morning and could not get up; my head wouldn’t lift off the pillow. I remember…
