WHO Issue 12, 2023

I am a sucker for a wedding – I’ve got two to attend this year and I’m already busy planning my outfits! I also love a celebrity wedding (yes, I still have my tattered copy of UK Hello magazine that featured Posh and Becks’ incredible 1999 nuptials!). In this issue, I’m thrilled to share Locklan Gilbert and Irena Srbinovska’s exclusive wedding album. The couple met on The Bachelor in 2020 and have been through a lot – interstate moves, a pandemic and travelling around Australia together in a van – before finally making it down the aisle on March 10. Check out the stunning pics and find out how they sprung a surprise wedding on their unsuspecting guests from page 22. The Academy Awards are Hollywood’s Christmas and this year’s event was…

The last few years have seen the Oscars plagued by dramas and scandals, from 2015’s #OscarsSoWhite to 2017’s erroneous announcement of La La Land as Best Picture over Moonlight, and who could forget Will Smith’s scene-stealing slap last year. But Hollywood seemed keen to put the past behind them, with the 95th annual Academy Awards having a resounding theme of inclusiveness and a tale of triumph for this year’s nominee underdogs. First off the ranks was Best Supporting Actress and Actor, with Jamie Lee Curtis cheekily throwing shade at her ‘nepo baby status’ while taking out the former – after a three-horse race between herself, Angela Bassett and Kerry Condon – for her role in Everything Everywhere All at Once. “My mother and my father were both nominated for Oscars in…

Having walked down the champagne-coloured carpet into the Dolby Theatre, after the ceremony the stars were primed for some bubbles at their blowout parties, where winners came to mingle with a wide range of stars from all walks of fame. First stop, for those carrying a statuette at least, is usually The Governors Ball where stars get their gongs engraved. Everything Everywhere All at Once winner Jamie Lee Curtis fought back the tears of joy while her Oscar was engraved. RUN OR REUNITE? While Michelle Williams and Joshua Jackson had a mini Dawson’s Creek reunion at the Vanity Fair afterparty, exes Austin Butler and Vanessa Hudgens narrowly avoided an awkward run-in at the same shindig in a now-viral video. Next stop on the party line is the Vanity Fair bash, where celebrities who…

Chilean-born actor Pedro Pascal has been familiar to TV audiences for years, playing Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones (2011), Javier Peña in the Netflix series Narcos (2015), and the titular character in the Disney+ series, The Mandalorian (2019). But his turn as a brooding protector in the post-apocalyptic drama, The Last of Us, has cemented his status as a leading man. “What’s wrong with people who like an old man like me? I don’t understand,” the 47-year-old recently replied when asked about his popularity spike. “What has happened culturally? How could this happen? Focus on Harry Styles!” The thirsted-for star is currently sitting atop IMDb’s Star Meter tracking the most-searched celebrities. He’s also currently single, having been linked in the past to his The Mentalist co-star Robin Tunney and his Game…

Australia is currently a celebrity playground, with stars flocking Down Under for both work and play. And Sydney Harbour played host to yet another Hollywood duo recently, with Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell spotted soaking up the sunshine on March 8. The Euphoria actress, 25, and Top Gun: Maverick star, 34, were snapped aboard a yacht at Pittwater, where they shot scenes for an untitled project. Stripping down to their swimmers, the pair shared a few laughs and mucked around in the water as they filmed the R-rated rom-com, which is being directed by Easy A and Friends With Benefits filmmaker, Will Gluck. Sweeney, whose star has been on the rise since her 2018 roles in The Handmaid’s Tale and Sharp Objects, looked sensational in both a white and floral bikini. But…

On March 3, around 30 guests gathered at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s mansion in Montecito, California for the christening of their 21-month-old daughter, Lilibet. An ensuing announcement saw Lilibet being publicly referred to as a princess for the first time. The royal family’s official website was later updated to reflect the children’s titles. However, it’s understood that Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie’s names were left off an invitation to King Charles’ coronation on May 6, which is also Prince Archie’s 4th birthday. Although there is no confirmation, Harry and Meghan are expected to attend. “They will be given the cold shoulder by very many relatives,” one family friend reportedly told UK’s The Sun. “One said to me, ‘I hope they’ll be seated in Iceland.’”…
