It is almost unfathomable that we are writing about another young celebrity death so soon, but, sadly, with Grey’s Anatomy star Eric Dane passing away at just 53 after a short battle with ALS, we are paying tribute to him on page 16. It’s not all sombre news, though, as we spotlight some of Hollywood’s biggest talents, including Halle Berry (page 20), Christian Bale (page 24) and Brett Goldstein (page 34). Meanwhile, Zendaya and Tom Holland appear to have pulled off the impossible: a secret wedding free from public scrutiny. While I can’t help but feel disappointed to not see her bridal look – we all know she would have looked incredible – I love that, in the age of oversharing, some people can keep special moments just for themselves…

Some break-ups never get any easier, especially when they’re blood – something Lizzie McGuire star Hilary Duff knows all too well. While a long-running feud with her sister, Haylie, has been speculated about for years, the 38-year-old has finally confirmed the rift in a shock new interview. The once-close pair stopped being photographed together or commenting on each other’s social media, leading to whispers of a fractured relationship. Now, Hilary has confirmed the painful truth. “Absolutely the most lonely part of my existence is not having my sister in my life at the moment,” she shared. Talking on CBS Mornings about her new album, Luck … or Something, she admitted the track ‘We Don’t Talk’ is about the relationship with her older sister, adding, “I really struggled with including that…

Fresh off the hugely successful release of epic romance Wuthering Heights, Jacob Elordi has surged to the top of the pack in the race to become the next Bond. Unverified whispers are doing the rounds online that the role may already be cast, fuelled by a post shared by gossip account DeuxMoi. The anonymous submission claimed that “Amazon Studios offered Elordi the Bond role. Filming starts in October this year.” The question of who will replace Daniel Craig as 007 has been hotly speculated for years, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Callum Turner, Idris Elba and Tom Hardy also tipped. When asked by Extra in 2023 about the possibility of him being Bond, Elordi, 28, replied with: “That’s beautiful … I just like that people maybe want to put me in their…

Rugged up in winter coats to beat New York City’s blizzard-like conditions, Jennifer Aniston and boyfriend Jim Curtis were on a mission. The pair were seen arriving separately to view a property on Manhattan’s Upper East Side on February 20, inspecting it together, accompanied by a realtor and a security guard, for around 30 minutes. The couple then left the address in separate vehicles. Then, an apartment in the same complex, previously listed for more than $10 million, reportedly went under contract in the 12 hours after Aniston, 57, and Curtis, 50 – who have been linked since July last year – toured the address. The discreet inspection went down just weeks after it was revealed Curtis had put his nearby bachelor pad on the market. The apartment downtown was…

For as long as she can remember, Rachael Ferguson wanted to do a job that helped people, whether that was as a GP, a physio or, as it turned out, a podiatrist. “I did some work experience at a podiatrist’s where I saw a nail surgery and I fell in love,” the 43-year old from Perth, WA, tells WHO. “I graduated in 2004 and worked in sports podiatry, which I found fascinating, and also in high-risk foot care.” But something she came across time and time again was the fact that the bulky insoles she often prescribed to help various foot problems didn’t actually fit in people’s narrow shoes. “In 2011, I decided I wanted to make ladies’ shoes and I went to China to look into it,” she says.…

In the not-so-wonderful world of toxic online diet culture, a new fixation has entered our TikTok feeds – this time in the form of what is dubbed “flared ribs”. Confused? Understandable. Let us explain. Once simply a sign that you are a living, breathing human, ribs that expand or ‘stick out’ have been repackaged by social media into a flaw to scrutinise, conceal and, according to some corners of the internet, try to “fix”. Scroll long enough and you will find before-and-after photos, posture hacks, breathing tutorials and promises of a flatter, more aesthetic torso. But when aesthetics masquerade as anatomy, misinformation isn’t far behind, which is where the experts should come in. Dr Sonia Cheng, a senior lecturer and cardiorespiratory physiotherapist at the University of Sydney, says visible ribs…

You might already be aware that our strands tend to thin out as we age. But did you know that this applies to the hair on our whole head – and that includes our brows and eyelashes, too? “A combination of factors such as hormonal changes, genetic predisposition and overall health influences this process,” explains Alyssa O’Rourke, co-owner and CEO of Locks Lash. You may also notice a change in texture, fullness and even colour. Luckily, there are a few tricks that we can throw into our beauty routine to help. FILL THEM IN If your eyebrows are looking sparse, it might be worth seeing your beautician. “Brow laminations with a hybrid brow tint and wax service are a perfect go-to,” O’Rourke says. “If you’re someone who had extremely over-plucked…

MOVIE HOW TO MAKE A KILLING Glen Powell steps into A24 territory in this wicked, dark comedy thriller. Born on the wrong side of obscene wealth, Becket Redfellow (Powell) has spent his life cut off from the family fortune after his mother was disowned for falling pregnant out of wedlock. When a shot at reclaiming what he believes is rightfully his finally appears, and following some encouragement from childhood pal Julia (Margaret Qualley), he starts engineering ‘accidents’ among a roster of Manhattan relatives also in line for the inheritance.

WINSTON SURFSHIRT Formed in Manly, Sydney, in 2015, smooth operators Winston Surfshirt blend hip-hop, funk and jazzy indie into a sound that feels made for late-afternoon sun and a slow drink in hand. The six-piece is fronted by Winston, alongside Bustlip, The Bone, Bik Julio, Dool and Mi-K. Fresh off last year’s album, Winston, the band is carrying momentum into 2026 with their current string of US dates. OCEAN ALLEY Alongside Tame Impala, these guys are the country’s other big success story in psychedelic music that feels perfect for those long days on the sand. While remaining mainstays in the Aussie music scene, they’ve also made waves overseas, selling out shows across North America, Europe and the UK. But it all started on the salty-stained streets of Sydney’s Northern Beaches…

THE CURSED ROAD by Laura McCluskey A young woman’s body is found on a remote stretch of road in the Scottish Highlands. Although it looks like an accident, a name carved into her arm hints at something more sinister. As police investigate, they discover the road has a bloody history and many secrets to uncover.

The first Monday in May is the biggest date on the fashion calendar, with the world’s biggest names descending on the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the Met Gala. On May 4, stars and the designers who dress them will get a first look at this year’s exhibition, Costume Art, as they wear their own attire adhering to the theme of ‘Fashion Is Art’. With the theme leaving a lot of room for interpretation, Vogue has advised guests to “express their own relationship to fashion as an embodied artform”. Anna Wintour, who serves as the gala’s chairperson, will be accompanied by co-chairs Nicole Kidman, Beyoncé and Venus Williams. And while fashion fans are thrilled with the style-minded women helming the spectacle, they’re not so happy that the Vogue-run event –…

She’s the star of huge Netflix hit Emily in Paris, but Lily Collins is trading the City of Love for the City that Never Sleeps, crossing the Atlantic for her next role. It will see the 36-year-old play Audrey Hepburn in a new film about the making of the 1961 romantic comedy Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The as-yet-unnamed movie will include all the drama from pre-production, including on-set disasters and arguments about who was going to play the lead role. Truman Capote, the author of the 1958 novella on which the film was based, wanted Marilyn Monroe to play Holly Golightly, rather than Hepburn. “It’s with almost 10 years of development and a lifetime of admiration and adoration for Audrey that I’m finally able share this,” Collins, who is the daughter…

For more than two decades, Kyle Sandilands and Jackie “O” Henderson have dominated radio airwaves, during which time they have weathered a large number of controversies. But Sandilands appeared to have taken things one step too far on February 20, when he blasted his best friend live on air over her interest in astrology. After Henderson took time out of a segment to read from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s astrology birth chart, Sandilands started his tirade. “Your fixation on this has made you almost unworkable,” he told his co-host on air. “You are off with the fairies with this s--t, it’s mental.” Henderson quickly – and emotionally – hit back, saying she was “offended by you saying something like that”. However, Sandilands, 54, added insult to injury, accusing her of “not doing…

MOTHER LOAD “When I happen to have free time, I am always thinking about what can I do with them,” Berry told People magazine in 2017 of embracing the slow season with daughter Nahla and son Maceo-Robert. “I want that quality time.” Starring alongside Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo and Barry Keoghan in gritty heist thriller Crime 101 (in cinemas now), Halle Berry plays an insurance broker to the elite who slowly begins to realise that she’s being taken advantage of by the people above her. It’s a role that struck an immediate chord. “Her character rang so true for me. You get to this age where you feel like you’re being marginalised, devalued. You feel it at work. You feel it from society,” Berry, who turns 60 on August 14,…

Growing up in a family of famous names – cinematographer father George Tiffin, writer-director mother Martha Fiennes, and actor uncles Ralph and Joseph Fiennes – Hero Fiennes Tiffin has always had a lot to live up to, not least of all his name. “It’s a great conversation starter; it’s memorable,” he told Tatler in January of his mighty-sounding moniker. “I only hope I can live up to it.” The actor is once again carrying the weight of expectation with his titular role in Young Sherlock (streaming from March 4 on Prime Video), an eight-part prequel series executive produced and occasionally directed by Guy Ritchie that imagines the legendary detective as a teenage student at Oxford University. According to Deadline, the trailer for the series, which premiered February 5, racked up…

GRAMMYS GAFFE Cher blamed the teleprompter for her major blunder at last month’s Grammy Awards. After being presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award, the ‘Believe’ singer was asked to announce Record of the Year. However, instead of declaring Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s single ‘Luther’ as the winner, Cher, 79, appeared to name the late, great Luther Vandross – who’s been dead since 2005. CROWNING CHAOS At the 2015 Miss Universe pageant, host Steve Harvey was forced to remove the crown from the ‘winner’ on live TV after he mistakenly announced Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutiérrez, as the titleholder while muddling up his cue cards. The rightful winner? A mystified Miss Philippines, Pia Wurtzbach. He later blamed the card he was handed for the gaffe, telling Kevin Hart, “When I woke up…

The style set may have dubbed 2025 the year of the man bag, but the A-list are carrying this trend well into 2026. Case in point: Timothée Chalamet. Just last month, the 30-year-old Oscar nominee rocked up to the Marty Supreme Q&A at London’s Prince Charles Cinema with a mini Hermès Kelly slung across his body. And it’s not the first time he’s given the craze the nod, either. While in Paris last year, Chalamet was snapped wearing an indigo-blue Chanel bag – so small we’re sure it would only fit a phone. The poster boys for the movement don’t stop there, with a long list of equally fashion-forward stars turning up to events with sophisticated leather duffles and sleek, elevated totes. So where does one hunt down such chic…

Foundation isn’t called foundation because it rolls nicely off the tongue. No, far from it. Forming the basis of any well-executed makeup look, think of it like the canvas to a painter’s brush, bread to a perfectly aged wine or cover to a well-loved book. Which begs the questions, of course: “Which one is right for my skin type?” Now, even for us beauty writers, this is by no means a simple ask. Unsurprisingly, foundation has undergone significant evolution and change since its 1930’s Pan-Cake origin story. Yes, that was our deep sighs of relief you could hear. Thanks to the creative, innovative minds behind today’s beauty brands, we can now get our hands on a diverse selection of foundation types, including what could be argued as the most superior:…

ARIES MAR. 20–APR. 18 Right now your inner world is asking for gentle recalibration. A lot has changed and you need to adjust. The first step is to get your head in order. Give yourself space to reflect rather than react. Clarity will come once you slow down and set your priorities. Decide what truly matters. CANCER JUN. 21–JUL. 21 Both contentment and wanderlust need to coexist. Dreaming of distant shores one minute should be balanced out with being grateful for what you have the next. Dreams can be inspiring, but appreciation anchors us. Find magic in the present while planning the future. Release any “grass is greener” thinking. LIBRA SEP. 23–OCT. 22 Peace doesn’t always mean sitting around doing nothing. Your challenge this week is to find balance between…

AUSTRALIAN SURVIVOR: REDEMPTION KING STATUS Genat has competed three times, winning Australian Survivor: All Stars and its $500,000 prize. In 2025, he also won US series Deal or No Deal Island, taking home $8.2 million and becoming American TV’s biggest game show winner. Once known as Australian Survivor’s selfproclaimed “Golden God”, David Genat is now running the show. The former winner of both Australian Survivor and Search for a Supermodel in 2002 is back on screen for Australian Survivor: Redemption, taking the torch from long-time host Jonathan LaPaglia – much to the vexation of some fans – a dream role he says he was “born to play”. Here, Genat, 45, chats with WHO about surviving rigorous shoot days, why this season is packed with “diabolical” drama and the one piece…

London lit up on February 22 as the film world descended on the Royal Festival Hall for the 2026 BAFTAs. Timothée Chalamet didn’t end up taking home a trophy on the night, but his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, scored a Jammie Dodger after host Alan Cumming kicked things off by handing out British snacks. Who did win was English actor Robert Aramayo, beating not only Chalamet, but also big names Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael B. Jordan, Ethan Hawke and Jesse Plemons to take home Best Actor in a Leading Role. “I honestly cannot believe that I won,” he said. “To be in this category with you is incredible.” The 33-year-old portrays Tourette syndrome campaigner John Davidson in I Swear. Davidson also made headlines on the night after a tic saw him yell…

While Will Smith slapping Chris Rock was a major talking point at the 2022 Academy Awards, there was apparently another drama going on behind the scenes. Liza Minnelli has spoken up about what happened in the lead-up to her on-stage appearance. In the star’s memoir, Kids, Wait Till You Hear This, releasing in March, she recalled being brought on stage in a wheelchair to present Best Picture. “I was inexplicably ordered − not even asked − to sit in a wheelchair or not appear at all,” the star recalled in an early excerpt published by People magazine. According to Minnelli, 79, she was expecting to be sat in a director’s chair while presenting, but that plan was apparently scrapped at the last minute by producers. “I was told it was…

FIRM FRIENDS They were rivals on screen, but Dane and Dempsey were mates in real life. “I was corresponding with him, we were texting, so I spoke to him about a week ago,” Dempsey, 60, told The Chris Evans Breakfast Show. “He was the funniest man.” Less than a year after he revealed he was living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Eric Dane has lost his battle with the degenerative neurological disorder. The actor passed away on February 19, aged 53, after spending his final days surrounded by friends and family. “With heavy hearts, we share that Eric Dane passed on Thursday afternoon following a courageous battle with ALS,” a statement from his family said. “Throughout his journey with ALS, Eric became a passionate advocate for awareness and research, determined…

“It was an amazing way to start my career, playing a crack ho, being directed by Spike Lee,” Berry told W magazine of her first big role. “It was major for me.” In her Oscar-winning role, Berry played a grieving widow who strikes up a romance with a Georgia prison corrections officer, played by Billy Bob Thornton. “He restored my faith in men on that movie. There couldn’t be a human who is more of a gentleman than Pierce Brosnan,” Berry, who played Bond girl Jinx, said of her 007. “I was at the top, then Catwoman just plummeted me to the bottom,” Berry said on accepting her Worst Actress Razzie Award. ”It’s much better being on the bottom.” In her directorial debut, Berry played a washed-up and disgraced MMA…

LONG GAME “I dipped my toe in, but I wasn’t fully in,” Charli told Vanity Fair last October of the slow burn to stardom, which began when she signed her first record deal at 16. “I think having that experience probably equipped me well for this happening.” In The Moment, a meta mockumentary in the spirit of This Is Spinal Tap, Charli XCX plays a heightened version of herself grappling with the end of Brat summer – a cultural movement that erupted in 2024 alongside the release of the star’s sixth studio album, Brat. The hit record spawned fan-favourite tracks including ‘Everything Is Romantic’ and ‘Sympathy Is a Knife’, and kicked off a lime-green-bathed aesthetic of Y2K trash-luxury hedonism that quickly leapt from club culture to the mainstream. The moment…

As the ex-wife of the former Prince Andrew, Sarah Ferguson is no stranger to scandal but, in Binge’s new drama The Lady, it isn’t Fergie’s bad behaviour that takes centrestage. The four-part crime series focuses on her dresser, Jane Andrews, who was convicted of stabbing her lover to death. Born into poverty in Lincolnshire, England, in 1967, Andrews had a turbulent childhood with parents who had an unhappy marriage. In her teens and early adult years, she suffered from bouts of depression, panic attacks and an eating disorder. After graduating from school, she enrolled in a fashion course at Grimsby Art College, hoping it would lead to a better life. While working as a children’s clothing designer at Marks & Spencer, she picked up a copy of The Lady magazine.…

There’s something undeniably magical about an outfit you can sleep in just as easily as you can wear to brunch. It speaks perhaps to the very heart of what fashion is meant to be: comfort without compromise, thoughtfully constructed materials and functionality that blurs the line between self-expression and relaxation. Here, we shine a spotlight on the brands making a compelling case for retiring our boyfriend’s hole-ridden long tee and elevating our wardrobes with pieces that go beyond our wildest dreams – in this case, quite literally.
