Inside Pia Whitesell's jaw-dropping walk-in wardrobe: Home and Away star shows off enviable closet decked out in designer goods
Pia, 41, showed off her astounding collection of designer goods posing inside her gigantic walk-in closet.
Featured in the photo was Pia's amazing collection of shoes, which filled six built-in shelves in her closet.
Measuring several metres wide, the unit boasted three shelves of high heels in a dazzling array of styles for all occasions.
Also spied inside Pia's walk-in was the dark-haired beauty's mammoth collection of designer handbags.
Stored in ten separate cubicles inside a dedicated vertical built-in unit occupying an entire corner of the closet, Pia's collection included multiple Chanel handbags.
Keen-eyed fashion lovers can also spy a Hermès box and what looks like a Birkin.
Prominently featured in one storage space was a Céline Small Cabas Thais bag which can set back fashion enthusiasts as much as $3,330.
Another corner of the immense closet was reserved for a long line-up of sneakers.
Pia looked at ease in the image, flaunting her famously trim abs in a tiny white tee and matching designer jeans.
She added to her look with a large black handbag, which she slung over one shoulder.
It comes after Pia announced her first paid TV and modelling gig in seven years last month.
Posting to Instagram, she revealed she is the face of beauty giant Olay's 'Hello Better Me' campaign in Australia and New Zealand.
'I'm so humbled to be announced as the Australian Ambassador for Olay,' she wrote alongside a glowing campaign image of herself.
'As Olay moves into its next evolution, one that embraces progress over perfection and confidence that's built from lived experience - I find myself so ready and excited to share in that philosophy and be a part of a much-needed conversation,' she added.
Pia has not worked since she first began seeing her now-husband, Hollywood powerbroker Patrick Whitesell, in 2019.
Pia's last acting role was in the 2019 live-action movie Dora and the Lost City of Gold.
Pia accepted Patrick's proposal in late 2020 after he presented her with a spectacular diamond ring.
The solitaire oval diamond sparkler is estimated to be worth between AUD$1.10million and AUD$1.9million.
The couple tied the knot in May 2021.

Legendary Australian journalist David Dale who once clashed with Kerry Packer dies after a battle with cancer
David Dale, the much-loved journalist whose Stay In Touch column was once a morning ritual for readers of The Sydney Morning Herald, has died aged 77 after a battle with cancer. Right to the end, Dale retained his trademark wit, posting satirical reviews of hospital food from his bed at Chris O'Brien Lifehouse, giving marks out of ten for service and plating. Dale began his journalism career as a cadet at the Herald in the early 1970s, later working at The National Times and The Sun-Herald during Fairfax's heyday (now Nine Newspapers). He returned to the Herald in 1981 to write Stay In Touch, becoming a must-read for his sharp eye for the absurd, the quirky, and the quietly political snippets from around the world. His career spanned newspapers, magazines, and radio, including stints at the ABC and Sydney's 2GB. A legendary luncher in the era when journalists workshopped their ideas over a plate of food and a glass or two, he also penned around 20 food and travel books. He served as The Bulletin editor under Kerry Packer's ACP Magazines, boosting its circulation but clashing with the tycoon after publishing a controversial list titled Australia's 100 Most Appalling People. When Dale defied an order not to run a sequel, he was sacked. Later in life, he shifted into academia, lecturing in journalism at the University of Technology Sydney and the University of NSW. David Dale is survived by his wife, former News Corp journalist and editor Susan Williams, whom he married in 1991, and their daughter, Millie. To the end, Dale was posting humorous reviews of the food and service from his hospital bed as he was dying from cancer in Chris O'Brien's Lifehouse

I've watched the Titanic movie multiple times - but only just realised a major detail about Rose
A fiery debate erupted between the hosts of a New Zealand morning radio show over the 1997 Hollywood blockbuster movie Titanic. A recent segment on The Edge NZ saw announcer Dan Webby passionately argue that he'd always believed the main character in the film, Rose, was based on a real person. Furthermore, he felt the movie led him to believe that the woman who appeared as the older version of Rose was in fact the real-life person whom the story was based on. 'I thought for many, many years that the old lady was legit on the Titanic and she was Rose in real life,' Dan told his co-hosts. 'You know how it sort of crosses back between documentary?' he explained. Flabbergasted, co-host Ash London promptly corrected Dan's error. 'No part of this film is a documentary. It's people acting,' she replied. The breakfast announcers continued to press Dan on how he'd come to the conclusion that Rose was a real person in the movie, he explained that it was because the sections of the film she was featured in were 'filmed in a documentary style'. '[W]hen she turns up on the helicopter… I was like, "Oh, my God, this is fantastic - they brought her in for the movie. She knows the story",' he said. Fellow announcer Clinton Randell proceeded to point out that there was no logic to this assumption. 'Wouldn't you have done the maths?' Clinton questioned. 'The Titanic sank in 1912 and the movie came out in '97, so that's 85 years ago. Bro, she would be 110!' But Dan continued to insist that he wasn't alone in mistakenly believing that the elderly woman in the Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio film was a real person. 'The number of people that stand with me, you're gonna look like the idiot here,' Dan said. And he was right. The show quickly began to receive a flurry of texts and messages from listeners confirming that they too had made this mistake about the award-winning film. When a clip of the radio segment was later posted to TikTok, it was also inundated with replies from movie-goers who'd also presumed the elderly woman was a real-life Titanic survivor. An NZ radio announcer felt that Titanic had a 'documentary style' in the sections featuring the older Rose, leading himself - and others - to mistakenly believe that Rose was a real person, not an actress 'I 100 per cent also thought that,' read one comment. 'Is she not the real Rose? I've been living a lie,' added another. 'I can't believe it's not the real Rose!!' chimed in a third. One woman even explained that she'd wound up 'arguing' with her husband about the older Rose in the film being a real person, only to be proven wrong when they'd Googled it. In the movie, the elderly 100-year-old character of Rose Dawson Calvert was played by veteran actress Gloria Stuart. Her appearance in Titanic was her most well-known and earned nominations for Best Supporting Actress at both the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes. Gloria's 75-year acting career also included credits such as the 1997 film Batman & Robin, and guest roles on TV shows such as The Waltons, Murder, She Wrote, Touched by an Angel and General Hospital. In 2000, the actress was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Gloria lived to be 100 years old - the exact same age as her most famous on-screen role of Rose. She passed away in September 2010. Titanic director James Cameron has previously confirmed that although the character of Rose is not real, the character was inspired by a real person, American artist Beatrice Wood. The acclaimed filmmaker said he drew inspiration for Rose's personality after reading a biography about the artist - and particularly her rebellious spirit and family background. However, Beatrice was not a passenger on the Titanic. Film buffs have also previously noted that while there was a real-life passenger named Rose on-board the Titanic, her life story is not the same as the Rose character in the movie. The RMS Titanic sank on 15 April 1912, only four days into its maiden voyage. At the time, it was the largest ocean liner in service. The ship struck an iceberg and sank in under three hours. This resulted in the deaths of 1,635 passengers on board, making it one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history.

Full moon horoscopes: 'Big feelings' are set to be unleashed on August 9
Australians are being warned to brace for emotional fireworks this week as August's full moon in Aquarius rolls in - bringing with it rebellion, sudden realisations and a push for personal freedom. According to intuitive astrologer and spiritualist Rose Smith of Absolute Soul Secrets, the lunar event on August 9 will be supercharged by Aquarius' ruling planet, Uranus - famous for its unpredictable and electric energy. 'We can expect bottled-up feelings to surface, leading to overreactions and, in some cases, impulsive or inappropriate behaviour,' Ms Smith told the Daily Mail. Aquarius, symbolised by the Water Bearer, is an air sign often seen as emotionally detached on the outside but feels deeply beneath the surface. Ms Smith said this full moon could bring that hidden intensity to a tipping point - particularly for those with strong placements in Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio. Expect the unexpected Uranus' influence could trigger both literal and symbolic storms - from lightning strikes and electrical glitches to sudden emotional flashpoints. 'Sudden realisations or emotional outbursts could surface without warning,' Ms Smith said. 'Expect the unexpected - in your environment and your relationships.' Aquarians are usually slow-burning romantics, preferring connections built over time. But under this moon, even they may feel uncharacteristically intense about love and personal connections. 'This lunar energy invites us to move beyond emotional suppression, embrace authenticity, and reclaim personal freedom,' Ms Smith said. 'It's a time to think clearly, feel deeply, and initiate meaningful change.' What is the Sturgeon Moon? Traditionally called the Sturgeon Moon - named for the abundance of the fish in North American waters - the August full moon is tied to emotional reflection and ancestral roots. 'When combined with Aquarian rebellion, it urges us to challenge outdated emotional systems and create new ways of being,' Ms Smith said. She added it's an opportunity to 'clear emotional clutter' and make space for fresh perspectives. The Sturgeon Moon will reach its peak at 5:55pm AEST on August 9. A cosmic triple-act: Perseids, Lion's Gate and Mercury retrograde The energetic charge won't stop with the full moon. Just days later, the Perseid Meteor Shower peaks between August 12 and 13, adding what Ms Smith calls 'masculine energy' to the full moon's feminine pull - a mix that could stir relationship tensions or power struggles. The meteors, named after the Greek hero Perseus, also symbolically nod to the story of Medusa, which Ms Smith says represents 'suppressed feminine power rising for acknowledgement and justice.' Meanwhile, the Lion's Gate portal - an alignment between the Sun in Leo and the star Sirius - opens on August 8, bringing a boost to personal growth and inner strength. The Perseids will be visible in Australia under dark skies, especially before dawn, by looking towards the northern horizon. And with Mercury retrograde lingering until August 11, communication and travel could be rocky, so she advises treading carefully. Aries (March 21 to April 19) The Full Moon is lighting up your social life, and with Pluto in the mix, things could get intense. This isn't just about mates and messages; it's about who you really connect with on a deeper level. Some friendships might feel like they're shifting or even fading, and that's okay. You're evolving, and your circle needs to evolve with you. If you've been feeling out of sync with certain people, it could all come to a head. Don't force what's not flowing. Instead, focus on the connections that feel genuine - the ones where you can fully be yourself. Let go of the past and open up to new friendships that reflect who you're becoming. Taurus (April 20 to May 20) Now your career, reputation, and long-term goals are spotlighted, and with Pluto's presence, something big could be shifting. Maybe it's time to let go of an old role, routine or ambition that no longer fits. If things feel intense at work or you're questioning your direction, don't panic! You're just being pointed toward something more meaningful. Take time to reflect on what success really looks like for you, not just what's expected. This is a powerful moment to find your purpose and set a more authentic path forward. Maybe it's a job change, a pivot in your public image, or simply reclaiming your own goals. Trust that something deeper is unfolding. Gemini (May 21 to June 20) This Full Moon lights up your zone of travel, higher learning, and big-picture thinking, and you might find yourself seriously rethinking your beliefs, goals or even your life philosophy. Something you've held onto for a long time might not resonate anymore, and that can feel both weird and freeing. It could be a shift in your worldview, a spiritual insight, or the urge to explore something new (literally or mentally). You could be called to let go of limiting ideas or outdated perspectives that have been holding you back. It's a powerful time now to seek knowledge, expand horizons and trust the unknown. A trip, course, or conversation could be the catalyst for a major mindset reset. Cancer (June 21 to July 22) Some deep feelings could rise to the surface of your mind now, especially around trust, shared finances or emotional ties. It's unlikely to be light and fluffy. You may be facing a power imbalance in a close relationship or feeling ready to release something you've been carrying for too long. Maybe it's money, control or unspoken fears, but something's asking to be cleared out and transformed. Don't stuff it down - feel it, face it and then let it go. This is deep-clean energy for your emotional world. You might also find yourself drawn inward, needing space or privacy. Your intuition's in overdrive, and it'll guide you to what's ready to shift. Let go of what drains you and open up to deeper trust - with yourself and others. Leo (July 23 to August 22) This Full Moon lands in your relationship zone, and with Pluto sitting right there, things could get real. You might be seeing the truth about a partnership, whether romantic, professional or platonic. Something may be shifting, ending or deepening. Either way, it's about honesty. If you've been avoiding a difficult conversation or ignoring red flags, this lunation could push things to the surface. But it's not all doom and gloom - it's also a powerful moment to create deeper intimacy, or break ties with the past. You're not here for halfhearted commitments. This is about the real stuff - shared effort, emotional honesty and mutual growth. Choose connections that feel empowering, not draining. Virgo (August 23 to September 22) This Full Moon is spotlighting your daily habits, and it's asking for a serious shake-up. You might be noticing what's no longer working when it comes to your work, health or routines. Maybe something's become too heavy, draining or simply outdated. This isn't about adding more to your to-do list. It's about cutting what's not serving you anymore. It could be a job, a habit, or a mindset. However, now it's time to simplify, cleanse and upgrade how you care for your body, time and energy. Pay attention to stress signals because your system might be craving real rest and balance. This is a chance to get serious about what supports you daily, not just occasionally. Libra (September 23 to October 22) This Full Moon is highlighting your self-expression, creativity and romantic life, and Pluto's presence adds emotional depth (and possibly drama). You might feel extra exposed, or like something in your love life or creative world is ready to shift, evolve or end. If you've been pretending everything's fine when it's not, it could be called out now. It's a great time to drop the performance and speak from the heart. You don't have to impress anyone - just be your real self. It could be love, art or joy itself, but whatever it is that feels blocked, it's on the move. But first, you must stop hiding what you truly want. It is time to be vulnerable and honest with yourself. Scorpio (October 23 to November 21) This Full Moon touches down in your home and family zone, and Pluto, your modern ruler, is right in the mix. That makes this deeply personal. Old emotional patterns, family dynamics or even physical living situations could come to a head. You might feel the urge to change where (or how) you live, or finally deal with something that's been simmering under the surface. It's a powerful time for emotional clearing and claiming your space. Whatever needs to shift now is about building a foundation that supports who you're becoming - not just who you've been. You could also look back in your ancestry and uncover deep emotional issues. Sagittarius (November 22 to December 21) Now your communication zone is activated, and your words pack more power than usual. Conversations, texts, or even passing comments could hold way more emotional charge than expected. You might find yourself speaking your truth - or hearing someone else's - in a way that changes how you see things. Don't be afraid of uncomfortable topics. This Full Moon wants honesty, even if it's awkward. It's also a good time to clear out old mindsets or inner narratives that have been dragging you down. Your thoughts create your reality - so make sure they're actually yours. Learning and local community activities might also be on your mind now. Capricorn (December 22nd to January 19) This Full Moon lands in your values and money zone, but thanks to Pluto, it's not just about your bank account. You might be re-evaluating what really makes you feel secure. Is it money, status, control - or something deeper? If financial tension comes up, take it as a signal to restructure something. There's power in clarity. You could also find yourself questioning old ideas around self-worth. Are you undervaluing yourself or holding on to outdated survival strategies? Now you are being assisted to shed what no longer serves you. You can soon rebuild from a stronger, more authentic foundation. This time is a great investment for long-term growth. Aquarius (January 20th to February 18) This Full Moon is in your sign, and with Pluto sitting nearby, you're feeling it deeply. Something about how you see yourself or how others see you is shifting. Maybe you're letting go of an old identity or stepping into a version of yourself that feels more real. You could even change your appearance - think new hair, new clothes! Whatever's surfacing, it's big. And it's not just a mood - it's a transformation. The key is to stay grounded in your truth, even if other people don't quite get it yet. Change like this doesn't ask for permission. It just arrives. So, meet it with courage and care. You can do it - so go on, give it a crack! Your new identity is just around the corner. Pisces (February 19 to March 20) This Full Moon falls in your 12th house - the most mysterious and private part of your chart. With Pluto conjunct the Moon here, a deep emotional layer is surfacing for healing. You might feel extra sensitive, nostalgic or even spaced out. It's not a time for overdoing. Rest. Reflect. Let go of what no longer serves. You could find yourself releasing something from the past - a regret, a habit or an old dream. Then, make space for what's next. Your intuition is strong now. Trust it. What ends quietly now opens a powerful door later. Pay attention to your dreams and practice meditation because the answers are there if you can tune into yourself.
