Logies beauty secrets revealed: The must-have items the stars are using ahead of TV's night of nights
The 65th Annual TV Week Logie Awards are returning to Sydney, taking over The Star on Sunday, August 3, and the stars of Channel Seven are getting red carpet-ready with a little help from their stylists, make-up artists and hairdressers.

It's been 16 years: stop criticising Margot Robbie's Logies dress
For actors, newsreaders and visiting international celebrities, walking the Logies red carpet can be a faster path to ridicule than joining 2011 guest Katy Perry for a rocket ride into space. It's an annual opportunity for Australia's armchair critics to pause from yelling at football umpires and home renovators on The Block and channel their inner Anna Wintour. On Sunday evening, expect cries of 'Taffeta? For the Logies? Groundbreaking,' to emerge from the depths of recliner chairs around the country. People in tracksuit pants with exhausted elastic waists still pour scorn on the asymmetrical ruffled dress worn by Neighbours starlet Margot Robbie in 2009, as though it were a crime against humanity. It's time to stop. That dress, inspired by Christian Dior, was made by Queensland designer Rebecca Cobbing, who worked on Robbie's school formal dress a few years before the Logies. 'If the Met Gala had been two days before, and not two days after, the Logies, it might have been a different story,' says Cobbing, who has put down the sewing needle and moved into hospitality. 'It's interesting how fashion works.' Former Home & Away actor Bec Hewitt's motocross get-up from 2003 and Sophie Monk's beret and tie combination from 2001 are other memorable moments that attract unnecessary derision. Since 2009, stylists have steered the red carpet to a more widely acceptable view of glamour, fuelled by ballgowns from leading Australian couturiers Velani, J'Aton, Jason Grech and Con Ilio, but younger stars are ready to rewrite the Cinderella story. 'There's often such a seriousness to it because there's this one chance to wear that sparkly ball gown,' says stylist Tori Knowles, who this year is dressing Heartbreak High star Ayesha Madon and Home & Away actor Sophea Pennington.

A whisky collector, PS40 bartender and bottle of Ice Magic walk into a new bar ...
Eating out Just open Pack up the Kingswood and head to Silver's Motel in Enmore to relive the great Aussie road trip. Previous SlideNext Slide The spirit of the great Australian road trip has been distilled into Silver's Motel, a new Enmore Road bar serving a 300-strong whisky collection alongside bright-green Midori Splice slushies until 2am most nights. Like the highway motel your dad pulled into after a gruelling six hours behind the wheel, Silver's is all nostalgia and unpretentious charm. Behind the art deco exterior, it's all vinyl bar seating, walnut laminate veneers and sunlight filtering through venetian blinds. Funk queen Chaka Khan is playing over the speakers, rare whiskys are hooked up to a line of spirit dispensers, and there's a conspicuous bottle of Cottee's Ice Magic behind the bar. Silver's Motel is the second venture from acclaimed bartender Michael Chiem, who owns and operates PS40, recognised as The Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide's Bar of the Year in 2023. This time around, Chiem has partnered with former employee, bartender and whisky enthusiast Tynan Sidhu. 'We've always had a fascination with roadside motels,' Sidhu says. 'They're these beautiful time capsules of the 𝄒70s and 𝄒80s, and they really spoke to the kind of environment we wanted to create here in Enmore.' Enmore, which has become one of Sydney's go-to destinations for a night out over the past two years, feels more laid back than its Kings Cross cousin. With a 90-person capacity, Silver's Motel is set to be the largest bar on the strip, but Chiem says it was important for the pair to lean into the suburb's characteristic approachability. 'The concept came from looking around at all these fancy hotel bars [that were opening in Sydney at the time] and thinking, well, we're definitely not one of those – we're more of a motel bar,' Chiem explains. 'You know, somewhere that's approachable and warm, somewhere you can come and go as you please.' That means plenty of seating, at tables, booths and along the shiny veneer of the nine-metre-long bar. It also means a friendly bartender is on hand and eager to walk you through their whisky selection – demystifying a liquor that can be intimidating for some. Chiem says that same down-to-earth approach carries through to the drinks list, which features eight house cocktails, three whisky sours, a tight selection of mostly craft beers (the Crown Lager and GB Bitter being two necessary exceptions) and mostly Australian winemakers (save for the champers, of course), with standouts like Patrick Sullivan and Samantha May. 'Our drinks aren't too over-the-top,' Chiem says. 'They're very considered, very comfortable, and very delicious, but we're not trying to force new things onto people.' The house cocktail list ($24 each) channels rustic country cooking: the Semi Gloss cocktail is a three-day process of burning down mandarin peels to create a syrup, paired with gin, Margan vermouth, lemon verjuice and orange bitters; while the Marigold Rush is a whisky sour using freshly muddled marigolds.
