As a bit of a ‘weird’ kid, Beetlejuice became my favourite movie the first time I saw it. I was captivated by Catherine O’Hara as the wildly eccentric Delia Deetz in the Tim Burton classic. Years later, as I studied improvisation in New York, her Christopher Guest films felt like a masterclass. I also found endless, much-needed laughter thanks to Moira Rose in Schitt’s Creek. That someone who brought so much joy is no longer with us is unfathomable, but her impact proves the greats never really die (page 20). This issue, I had the pleasure of spending time with Aussie musician G Flip ahead of their national tour. From page 22, we chat about their impressive career, 2026 goals and why being open about fertility is important to them.…

As awards shows go, the Grammys has a reputation for stars pushing boundaries on the red carpet and on stage – and this year’s ceremony more than delivered. Held on February 1 at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena, the 68th Annual Grammy Awards was hosted by comedian Trevor Noah, who set the tone for an irreverent and, at times, politically charged night. Proceedings kicked off with a bold and skin-baring red carpet, with the near-naked trend dominating A-listers’ looks. Heidi Klum stunned in a nude, body-moulded gown, while Chappell Roan turned heads in a daring topless look featuring prosthetic nipple covers and piercings anchoring her sheer dress. Roan, 27, later presented Best New Artist, the category she won in 2025. This year, the award went to British star Olivia Dean, following…

They have sold out shows in Australia and the US, won three ARIA Awards and had a No. 1 album, and boast close to 650,000 monthly subscribers on Spotify, but Aussie musician G Flip still can’t quite believe that this is their life. “I just never thought I’d have this many people who’d want to come to a show of mine” the 32-year-old artist, who identifies as non-binary and uses they/ them pronouns, tells WHO in the lead-up to their run of shows at what the multi-instrumentalist calls “dream venues”, including Melbourne’s Margaret Court Arena, The Hordern Pavillion in Sydney and Brisbane’s Riverstage. “I cry on stage all the time” “I’m still in disbelief every day and I still pinch myself,” they share. “And I cry all the time. I…

Scan to shop or visit elitenailacademy.com.au As a stay-at-home mum-of-three, Carly Wallace wanted to make $500 a week to cover her rent. It was a goal she thought was attainable as a nail technician and, after going off to TAFE in 2017, she spent six months getting her accreditation. “I started from home and then hired my first employee,” the 37-year old from Hervey Bay, Queensland, tells WHO. At the same time, she was scouted by an international beauty brand to be a brand educator, teaching others how to use their product. Although she was initially “flattered”, Wallace quickly became cynical about the training she was meant to provide. “After five days of teaching, they were meant to be a nail tech and I thought, ‘No they’re not,’” she says.…

Gyms are an inherently polarising topic.

It makes exercise effortlessly fit into your everyday schedule, turns workouts into something genuinely enjoyable, and supports both your physical fitness and mental wellbeing – all in the comfort of your own home.

While the beauty industry is no stranger to redefining and reimagining trends, every now and then, it experiences a retro resurgence we just can’t get enough of. Case in point? The influx of ’90s makeup looks continuing to leave a nostalgic mark on the new year. From rich brown shades to grungy eyes and even frosted lips – for better or worse, the ’90s continues to prove it’s an era that’s here to stay. Although, you could argue it never really left. Here, we show you how to recreate these looks for every day, elevated with modern techniques and a fresh sensibility – even Madonna herself would approve. BLURRED LINES Rebellious, edgy and effortlessly cool – that’s right, it’s safe to say the lived-in eyeliner trend will rear its grungy…

Authorities hold grave fears for the elderly missing mother of US Today host Savannah Guthrie. Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen at her home on the outskirts of Tucson, Arizona, on the evening of January 31. “At this point, investigators believe she was taken from the home against her will, possibly in the middle of the night,” Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said in a statement. “Taken against her will includes possible kidnapping or abduction.” Search and rescue teams have flooded the area. The homicide squad, which is not typically called in for these types of cases, and the FBI are also involved in the search – with what appears to be blood found outside Guthrie’s home. “We don’t see it so much as a search mission so much as…

Soft launch alert! Things are getting sweeter for director and actress Olivia Wilde. Off the back of a buzzy premiere night for her new film, The Invite, at the Sundance Film Festival, it seems her latest beau, Caspar Jopling, was right there to offer cosy congratulations. Wilde, 41, shared a snap of herself cuddling up to the 34-year-old art dealer in an Instagram carousel posted on January 28, taken during her time at the event. Jopling’s head was cropped slightly out of frame, but the message was clear enough. “It seems to be getting serious,” a source told People magazine. “He’s introduced her to his family and friends.” Wilde and Jopling first sparked dating rumours in September last year when they were photographed kissing after a three-hour dinner date in…

BIG SHOES Given the love for the New York Times bestselling novel, the stars knew what was at stake with the movie version. Blyth told People that some fans have asked him to sign their copy of the book. “I feel like a need to honour this thing people love,” he said. Zoom isn’t exactly an actor’s top choice for a first-ever chemistry read, but for the stars of hit new rom-com People We Meet On Vacation – Emily Bader and Tom Blyth – it all went surprisingly smoothly. Emily Henry, the author of the novel that Netflix adapted, told Elle Canada she “fell in love with them” after she was sent their chemistry read recording by director Brett Haley. “It felt like they became the characters very, very abruptly,”…

There are a million different reasons why someone would want to get breast implants, from improving self-esteem to restoring what was taken from a mastectomy. In TV host and wellness expert Andi Lew’s case, she never expected her decision would lead to a life-altering bout of illness, and back and forth with doctors that left her literally scarred for life. Lew was in her early forties when she first decided to get her breasts augmented – a decision that came after a divorce and past sexual trauma from her childhood. It was an intensely personal choice and one she’d hoped would help her get some confidence back. A couple of years after the procedure, Lew, 52, noticed that things just weren’t quite right, both mentally and physically. “I think there’s…

FROM PARIS WITH LOVE If you’ve already binged the latest season of Emily in Paris and are in need of a French fix, Glasshouse Fragrances has unveiled a playful new collaboration inspired by the series. Aptly named Oui Oui Emily, this soy candle blends nude violets and patchouli with cheeky fruity notes. Expect a sensorial delight with top notes of lychee, peach, pear and raspberry, layered over rose and violet buds, with a decadent base of patchouli, vanilla, caramel and praline. It’s a Parisian love affair – all you have to do is light the flame. COMPILED BY: MADISON BOGISCH…

Tiny reading glasses paired with a Peter Pan collar. A vintage brooch delicately pinned to a classic blouse. A satchel filled with coffee-stained Penguin Classics. Yes, that’s right. Poet core is officially trending, and we feel like we are studying at Oxford in 1962 just thinking about it. A celebration of the power and beauty found in reading, journalling and creating space to romanticise our inner worlds, this emerging fashion aesthetic is all about embracing the past and bringing it into the present. Think Joan Didion meets Sylvia Plath, with a healthy dose of Emily Dickinson on the side. Much like poetry itself, there’s no right or wrong way to channel your inner poet. That said, we believe some sonnets can be styled better than others. To help guide you…

With Australian Idol back on screen, Ricki-Lee Coulter is primed for another eventful season as she co-hosts the reality TV singing contest for a fourth time. And although she’s a down-to-earth “Gold Coast girl” at heart, when it comes to Idol, she always brings the glam. Coulter, 40, sat down with WHO to chat about dressing to impress, her Idol “family” and the new generation of talent this season. How are you feeling about this new season of Idol? I’m frothing for people to see the talent we have this year. The level of talent is insane. These singers are ridiculous. They’re freaks. They’re not even polished up and put through the ‘machine’ yet. They’re turning up in their flannelette shirts and baggy pants to auditions, and they open their…

For author Sue Williams, The Duke’s Secret began with a family rumour she had long pushed aside. “My father has always told me that we are descended from the Duke of Wellington,” she tells WHO of the military general hailed as a hero after defeating Napoleon at Waterloo. “I’d never taken him seriously, but then I tracked down our family tree – my five-times-great-grandmother was a maid in the duke’s household who fell pregnant, with the father never named.” Suddenly, the whispers of love, lust and betrayal felt like the perfect foundation for a novel. Williams blends fact and fiction in her story, staying true to the duke’s real life romantic entanglements and battles, while imagining the emotional world of the maid at the centre of the scandal. “I told…

After months of speculation, Kelly Clarkson has pulled the plug on her talk show career, announcing that the seventh season of The Kelly Clarkson Show will be the last. In what she described as “not an easy decision”, the singer shared that it was one that will see her “prioritise” her two children. “I have been extremely fortunate to work with such an outstanding group of people at The Kelly Clarkson Show,” Clarkson, 43, said in a statement. “There have been so many amazing moments and shows over these seven seasons. I am forever grateful and honoured to have worked alongside the greatest band and crew you could hope for.” Clarkson has had a tough 12 months behind the scenes. In August last year, her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, died at…

Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher are proving that you can play nice with your ex, with the Borat comedian paying tribute to the actress on her milestone 50th. “Happy birthday to the funniest, most joyful person, a brilliant talent and a fantastic mum. May the next decade be even better,” Cohen, 54, captioned a photograph of Fisher smiling while wearing what appeared to be a retro swimming cap. The sweet nod to Fisher, with whom he shares three children, comes more than two years after the pair filed for divorce, which was announced in April 2024. Fisher would go on to tell New Beauty magazine that she experienced “grief” after her 20-plus-year relationship and 13-year marriage to Cohen ended. She did, however, find the fun in “creating a new…

Following a nasty publicised split from her ex David Harbour, 50, it seems Lily Allen, 40, has found a new flame. The singer, whose West End Girl album detailed her recent break-up, stepped out in the City of Love with her reported boyfriend, Jonah Freud, 28, for a Paris Fashion Week event on January 28. While in the French capital, they were also seen browsing for clothes at Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s luxury store, The Row, alongside actor Austin Butler. It comes after Allen and Freud were first seen together at a party in September last year. In December, they were again spotted at a Christmas bash in London, observed kissing throughout the night.…

The curtain has come down the last time for Catherine O’Hara. The Canadian-born actress passed away at her home in Los Angeles on January 30 at the age of 71. Her death came after “a brief illness”, a statement confirmed. O’Hara had been a staple of the big and small screens for more than five decades. Her career began in the 1970s in Toronto, where she worked with Eugene Levy on sketch comedy show SCTV. They became lifelong collaborators, appearing together in projects like 2000 film Best in Show and for six seasons of comedy series Schitt’s Creek. “Words seem inadequate to express the loss I feel today,” Levy, 79, said in a statement. “I cherished our working relationship, but most of all our friendship.” She went on to make…

In 2015, Cindy Crawford marked her 50th birthday by publishing Becoming, an image-heavy memoir that blended personal stories with career milestones, reflections on motherhood and candid thoughts on ageing gracefully. “I wrote a book about how ageing can be scary and daunting for a woman, especially if you happen to be in the public eye,” she told UK’s Best magazine in January. Now, as she approaches her 60th birthday on February 20, Crawford says her outlook hasn’t shifted much since then. “I learned to embrace it then and I embrace it now,” she continued to the outlet. “We still live in a very ageist world, which is hard but, at the same time, we tend to be self-critical so much. I don’t know why that is, but you have to…

Breathing may appear simple, but for many of us it’s not instinctive – especially if shallow, vertical or context-driven mouth breathing has become the norm. Functional breathing is a skill that develops with consistent and patient practice and its essence is revealed in several interwoven qualities. Here, author of The Breath Reset Plan, Brooke Elliston, shares just how you can harness the power of your breath. THE FOUNDATION OF HEALTHY BREATHING The breath begins with the nose, with the lips softly sealed so the air is filtered, warmed and moistened before it reaches the lungs. The tongue rests high against the roof of the mouth, its tip sitting just behind the front teeth, shaping the oral cavity and supporting an open airway. The breath continues at a pace that’s unforced…
