Jesinta Franklin has embraced ‘mum style', but you won't see her in these
What's your fragrance of choice? Giorgio Armani 'Si' and D.S & Durga 'I Don't Know What', which isn't meant to be worn as a perfume – it's a fragrance enhancer – but I do and it's amazing.
What are the three essential items in your wardrobe? My favourite P. Johnson Femme jeans, a Camilla and Marc blazer and a good, oversized white tee – I like Acne Studios, Incu and Uniqlo.
Any go-to jewellery? Tiffany 'Link' earrings, an Apple watch with a Hermes band, and my engagement ring.
Can you remember a favourite outfit you wore as a child? My clothes were from the op-shop or made by Mum, so I had quite an eclectic style. I remember a pair of purple velvet flares that Mum sewed fringing on.
What was your first fashion moment? When I was about 13, my mum's friend Cynthia, who had effortless style and wore Birkenstocks before they were cool, bought me a pair of op-shop men's dress pants that I wore using a necktie as a belt.
What was your worst fashion mistake? The whole Miss Universe era [Franklin won Miss Universe Australia in 2010] was terrible from a style perspective, but I look back on it fondly; it's part of who I am.
What's on your wish list? A vintage, floor-length coat.
Is there something you would never wear? I'll wear them for shoots, but I don't feel comfortable in short skirts or short shorts.
Is there a current trend you like? I'm less trend-focused and more interested in quality pieces that I'll still be wearing in my 60s.
What shoes do you wear most often? Birkenstock 'Arizona' slides, Adidas 'Samba' sneakers and Tkees leather thongs.
Who's your favourite fashion icon? Rosie Huntington-Whiteley always gets it right. And Princess Di was the ultimate icon. I love how she used her clothes to rebel, tell a story and make a statement.
What do you wear on a typical working day? It might be Phoebe Philo for Celine high-waisted pants with a knit, and burgundy Amina Muaddi pointed toe flats.
What do you wear to work out? Your Reformer ribbed seamless leggings and crop top – they're so flattering and supportive.

Cynthia Nixon bemoans Sex and The City for being 'incredibly white'
Cynthia Nixon disliked how "incredibly white" 'Sex and The City' was. The 59-year-old actress played Miranda Hobbes in the hit HBO series, but Cynthia thinks 'Sex and The City' wasn't reflective of the real world. Speaking to Sky News, the actress explained: "The one thing that didn't really sit well with me in the past was how incredibly white the show was." Cynthia reprised the role of Miranda to star in 'And Just Like That...', the 'Sex and The City' revival show. And Cynthia believes the new series presents a more well-rounded view of the world. She explained: "I think to expand the universe of, you know, who gets to be centred in the show has been a tremendous boon. Whether you're talking about people of colour, whether you're talk about queer people, people of different ages. We used to have a wonderfully fascinating lens, but it was fairly narrow. "We've moved in our view of queer people … for so long, if you wanted to put a gay person on screen, one of the ways to make them palatable was to really emphasise their funniness and I think we have many very funny gay characters, but we're able to, I think, have a more well-rounded view of them." Meanwhile, Cynthia recently revealed that she has an "intense" friendship with her 'And Just Like That...' co-stars. The actress has relished the experience of reuniting with Kristin Davis and Sarah Jessica Parker to shoot the revival series. Cynthia - who also starred in two 'Sex and the City' films - told People: "I just think the longevity, I mean the intensity of it, but also the longevity of it, because there's something about knowing and loving a person, but then when you know them for so long, you know their children and their parents and their spouses and their friends." Cynthia has developed a close bond with her co-stars over the years, and she now understands them "in their complete context". Reflecting on her relationship with Sarah and Kristin, she said: "When you understand somebody in their complete context, I feel like that's when you really know them."

Cynthia Nixon admits 'certain things haven't aged well' in Sex and the City
Cynthia Nixon has insisted "certain things have really not aged well" in 'Sex and the City'. The 59-year-old actress - who played Miranda Hobbs in the iconic comedy drama between 1998 and 2004 - has insisted while most of the show is "still pretty great", other aspects wouldn't work if the show was made today. Reflecting on how badly some things have "aged", she told Grazia magazine: "It was always very difficult being on a show that was so white. "I always hated that. When we would raise it, we were told: this is Candace Bushnell's world and it's a very white world. "I'm like, 'OK…' [And] some of the trans stuff, some of the gay stuff was a little cringy to look at." Despite its shortcomings, Cynthia - who is married to wife Christine Marinoni - insisted 'Sex and the City' remains a "feminist show". She said: "It's always been a feminist show. What you have to remember is that we were in our thirties and forties. "Of course, I look at the show now, we look like babies, but being single at that age, at that time, still had a kind of stigma." Cynthia - whose character Miranda mirrored real life by coming out as gay in revival series 'And Just Like That' - pointed out that there was a revolutionary message at the heart of the show. She added: "You can be a woman, you can have a lot of sex with a lot of different people. "It didn't make you a slut and it didn't mean you were using sex to get something. You were having sex – because you enjoyed having sex!" Cynthia previously revealed how she and her original co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis and Kim Cattrall were combarded with hate when the original show first aired. She told Page Six: "People have always been very passionate about 'Sex and the City' and now 'And Just Like That'. 'I feel like 'Sex and the City' is now so enshrined in memory and sentimentality but people hated us at first. 'They kept saying over and over, 'These aren't really women, these are gay men in disguise. Women don't talk like this. Women don't talk about sex like this.' '
