This extravagant Lexus is an A-Lister's dream ride
The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is a favourite among the aforementioned elites, not least for its cathedral-esque headroom. This has enabled, for example, various celebs in outrageous couture to stand up all the way to New York's Met Gala.

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.

US comedian flags first trip to Perth with huge announcement
The King of Staten Island has set his sights Down Under, with the famous comedian announcing he will be performing in Western Australia later this year. Pete Davidson has revealed he will be bringing his stand-up comedy tour to Australia during September and October, kicking off his three-city run at Perth's Riverside Theatre, on September 29. pete davidson tour Credit: Live Nation The Saturday Night Live alumnus is no stranger to Australia, having spent months living in the Gold Coast while filming his 2022 movie Wizards – but the show will be the first time he has ever visited Perth. Davidson debuted in the comedy world in 2014, with his darker jokes and heavily tattooed look immediately capturing the attention of fans. His collaborations with other high-profile comedians such as John Mulaney further catapulted the 31-year-old into the public eye. He has since become known not only for the quick wit and edgy humour fans see in his stand-up shows, but also for his string of highly publicised relationships. pete davidson relationship Credit: PerthNow The comedian has been linked to a range of famous ladies over the years, having had a highly public engagement with Wicked star Ariana Grande in 2018, after meeting on Saturday Night Live. He also appeared at the 2022 Met Gala in tow with then-girlfriend Kim Kardashian, an outing that sparked controversy due to Kardashian wearing a dress that belonged to Marilyn Monroe. Davidson has since turned away from his bachelor days, having announced he is expecting his first child with his Playmate girlfriend Elsie Hewitt. The star has made some dramatic changes in the past couple of years, revealing he is undergoing laser tattoo removal to remove 200 tattoos and has also quit using drugs and alcohol. Live Nation pre-sale for Davidson's Australian tour opens on Thursday July 31, with general ticket sales opening to the public on Friday morning.
