There’s something beguiling about Aimee Lou Wood. A kind of sweet, strange duality that draws you in. One moment, she’s earnestly professing her love for miniature mouse figurines on Instagram, the next, she’s delivering some of the most emotional performances we've ever seen. And it's this blend of charm and candour that’s made her one of Britain’s most magnetic screen presences. Since winning our hearts as Amy in Sex Education, Wood has carved a career that dances between theatre and screen.

For a while, I thought the romantic comedy had lost its way. Just thinned out. Softened into the kind of film that coasts on charm and nostalgia rather than tension or interiority. All glossy New York real estate, no emotional scaffolding. A genre built less on longing and more on tropes we’ve learned to predict within minutes. The formula wasn’t broken, but it felt tired. And then I watched Materialists by Celine Song. The premise of the film is deceptively simple. A woman is caught between two men.

Now that it has been just over a year since Challengers, we are currently living in a PC (post-Challengers) world, where we have officially exhausted the group-chat discourse over who we would have chosen in Tashi Duncan's love triangle.

Rachel Rutt has always been moving. Across continents, across mediums, across the delicate lines of identity that come with being many things at once – model, artist, child of migration. With Portals, her first solo exhibition at China Heights, this movement becomes method. Woven from hand-dyed silk and suspended in space, the works seem to breathe. They shimmer. They shift. They ask what it means to adapt and at what cost.

Orion Carloto has long blurred the lines between life and literature. A filmmaker, poet and visual storyteller, she first emerged from the quiet folds of a small town in Georgia. Today, she exists in a world of her own making: composed of 35mm stills, diaristic prose, and the scent of old paperbacks left open by the window. Her work holds space for the romantic, the restless, the ruinously tender.

Mornings at Bundanon begin in a wash of mist over the Shoalhaven River. The stillness isn’t empty, but alive with birdsong, eucalyptus, and the quiet insistence of the bush.

Bundanon is an art museum, wildlife sanctuary, and cultural institution on Sydney's South Coast, which is now open to the public as a site for art, residency and reflection.

The psychological thriller written by Patricia Highsmith will be brought to life by the Sydney Theatre Company this August, adapted for theatre by playwright Joanna Murray-Smith and directed by Sarah Goodes.

Capsule wardrobe. A phrase that sounds definitive, confident and minimal. And yet, in practice, it’s anything but. Supposedly simple, but somehow tangled in Pinterest boards, and a hundred open tabs comparing the perfect white tee. A capsule wardrobe isn’t about uniformity. It’s not about dressing in one particular way, but it’s about choosing pieces that outlive trends, not because they’re boring, but because they belong to you. A blazer that actually fits your shoulders. A tank that washes well.

It began, as all good things do, with a martini. P. Johnson's first-ever fashion presentation, celebrating their newest men's and women's collections, happened last week inside the warm velvet walls of Sydney’s Caterpillar Club. The atmosphere was hushed, the kind of quiet where the clothes could breathe, and fabric could speak. There were olives in tiny glass bowls, ample potato crisps, and plenty of champagne.
