Emma Stone
It’s her slightly goofy demeanour, as much as her mix of sophistication and self-deprecation that means Stone stands alone.

Adele
“I think I remind everybody of themselves. Because I’m not perfect, and I think a lot of people are portrayed as perfect, unreachable and untouchable”.

Matt Smith and Claire Foy
Playing a young Queen Elizabeth in Netflix’s The Crown helped Foy, with “being a lady”. As Prince Phillip, Smith found fun in wearing “Aertex ’50s T-shirts”.

Margot Robbie
She was brilliantly undone as a surprise December bride and has a reputation for being naturally gorgeous. As for how Hollywood sees her, “My look is more ‘toothpaste model’ as opposed to artsy”, she once said. “Which sucks because I can play those roles.” And then some.

Dev Patel
“I’m never happier and more alive than when I’m on-set. I love it, it consumes me and I feel more confident”.

Teresa Palmer
The Hacksaw Ridge star is deeply rooted in spiritual practice and “being my happiest self,” she told Byrdie.com.au. “And that’s about doing enough self-development work to be at a place where I’m only sourcing happiness from an internal place.”

“I think women are better than men. They are stronger and more evolved.”

Dakota Johnson
“I thought for so long that there was something wrong with my brain,” the Fifty Shades of Grey star told Vogue. “Now I realise it just works in a different way”.

Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston
Their secret 2015 wedding set the tone for the couple’s married life – luxe, rich with friends and deeply on the down low. “Marriage makes the small things much smaller and the big things small,” Theroux told Rhapsody magazine for United Airlines. “You have an ally. It’s good to have someone have your back.”

Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky
The picture-perfect pair live in NSW’s Byron Bay with daughter, India and twin sons Tristan and Sasha and life is rich thanks to his wife, says the Thor star: “Watching her be a mother made me fall even more in love with her. She certainly keeps me sane”.

Guy and Jules Sebastian
The creative couple lead a clutch of Australians making a difference through the Sebastian Foundation. “Once we had our own family, we realised just how lucky and blessed we were to have healthy children to nurture and send out into the world,” Jules told WHO. “We wanted to show people there were others who cared and valued them.”
