Originally named Hunza, this one-size fits all swimwear brand, known for its unique crinkle-stretch fabric and leggy designs, came onto the swimwear scene back in 1984 under the creative direction of Peter Meadows. It was best known as the brand behind Julia Roberts' cut out mini dress in Pretty Woman. Fast forward to 2015 and a relaunch thanks to new director Georgiana Huddart, and Hunza G became a firm fan favourite among women of all sizes as the clever combination of elastane and lycra is created to grow with your body.
Designed to feel like a second skin, Eres was founded in 1968 by Irène Leroux and was the first brand to sell swimwear all year-round. The mission from the start was to liberate women who had suffered years of unsupportive padding, constricting boning and unflattering silhouettes in swimwear.
While this Australian luxury brand founded by the sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann initiated as a womenswear and accessories brand, it seamlessly extended into swimwear and now offers its feminine ruffles and signature floral designs across swimsuits, bikini and ethereal, boho-inspired resortwear.
A fairly recent addition to the luxury swimwear scene, La DoubleJ started its life as a shoppable online magazine in 2015. Inspired by its history of selling vintage clothing and jewellery, the brand, which produces everything from homeware to hats, is obsessed with all things print, pattern and colour.
Inspired by her leotard uniform as a former ballerina, Marysia Dobrzanska Reeves founded luxury swimwear brand Marysia in 2009. Beloved for its signature scalloped edge designs and one shoulder silhouettes, each piece is crafted in Italy and hand-cut in a couture factory.
While we appreciate Gucci isn't exclusively a swimwear brand, the new playful collection for summer 2025, which features sporty swimming costumes alongside more sultry cut-out silhouettes as well as the iconic double GG monogram plastered across timeless triangle bikinis, was just too good to not include.
Embracing the quiet luxury trend is the Australian swimwear brand Matteau which was founded by the sister duo Ilona Hamer and Peta Heinsen in 2015. Defined by its minimalist aesthetic, dedication to simple yet beautiful silhouettes and muted colour palette, you can invest knowing whatever you buy will be truly timeless.
London-based swimwear label Away that Day offers some of the softest fabrications on the market across its high-waisted bikini bottoms and sculpting swimsuits. All the collection is crafted by small manufacturers across the UK and Europe to reduce carbon emissions, and the brand is mindful of using recycled materials and recyclable packaging where possible.
Designed as a love letter to summer, all of Peony Swim's whimsical and romantic floral prints are hand sketched and designed in-house at the brand's design studio near Queensland, Australia. Showcasing, floaty linens and delicate frills, each collection tries to encapsulate and bottle the feeling of summer.

EXCLUSIVE Glamorous TV footy presenter Tiffany Salmond reveals the reason for huge career setback as she struggles to find work after making one simple move
NRL presenter Tiffany Salmond has revealed the reason why she has vanished from footy broadcasts this season, despite starting the season on camera in New Zealand. Salmond has previously worked for New Zealand media outlets RNZ and Sky, while also doing sideline coverage of Warriors NRL matches as a freelancer for Fox Sports and Triple M. She recently shared her horror experience of being the victim of a deepfake AI attack that circulated fake media claiming to be her carrying out explicit acts that never happened. Now viewers are asking why she is not present on NRL broadcasts, despite starting the season in her usual sideline post at Warriors games. Salmond appears to have made the mid-season move from Auckland to Sydney in April, with a post from four weeks ago that included the caption: 'Left the home advantage'. Her profile has also been updated to say 'Kiwi in Sydney'. Now, Salmond has posted an image at the iconic Bondi Icebergs Pool, the historic lap pool located at the south end of Bondi Beach overlooking the ocean. She uploaded the image with the caption: 'My first Sydney winter,' with a white heart emoji. 'Had to come back [to the pool] today.' She also posted an image enjoying the warm Australian sun in a bathing suit. After that, Salmond posted a News Corp snippet sharing the video of her deepfake attack and text that revealed she had moved to Australia but had yet to appear on a Fox League NRL broadcast. 'The ongoing support never goes unnoticed,' she posted. 'It's frustrating when politics gets in the way of doing the work you love. 'But to still feel this much demand and backing from so many is something I never take for granted. Thank you for continuing to stand with me while I keep building what's next.' Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, Salmond said was grateful for the large amount of viewers calling for her return to NRL coverage. 'Since my last on-air role, I've been incredibly grateful - and honestly humbled - by the ongoing public support and the way viewers have continued to call for my return,' she said. 'It's not something I take lightly, and I'm very aware of how rare that kind of genuine audience connection is in this industry. 'While I've always been proud of the work I've delivered, unfortunately, industry politics have played a role in limiting on-air opportunities, as is sometimes the case in this business. 'But I've stayed focused on building what's next, and there are some really exciting opportunities now opening up, particularly in entertainment, as well as in sport as I continue to expand my career here in Australia.' It comes after Salmond previously shared a follower's comment that read: 'It's all true we want Tiff back on the NRL coverage'. 'The comments on that video have meant so much,' she said in a video of herself walking down a Sydney street. 'Even knowing that a sideline role is pretty interchangeable and I barely had much screen time, to still be receiving this kind of support, all this time later, mid season, it's humbling. 'So, thank you. And I'm sure you will be seeing me back on your screens very soon, whatever capacity that may be in.' There has been a flood of support for Salmond on her Instagram account, where she has almost 40,000 followers. 'You are the best in the business. You don't just ask generic questions, cliches and you know what you're talking about and always seem to have a good relationship with whoever you interview. We need more like you reporting on the game,' one follower posted. 'I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's missed you on the NRL coverage,' another posted. 'The comments are because your great at what you do Tiff. Hope you come back soon,' another well-wisher commented.

Foxtel has announced Cal Wilson's replacement on The Great Australian Bake Off, almost two years after she passed away aged 53. Comedian Tom Baker will co-anchor the dessert competition alongside the show's regular host Natalie Tran. Baker took to his social media to share the news with his fans. He also included a series of colourful pictures from the set of the show, including one in which the funnyman can be seen rocking a black and white woolly sweater with a quirky swirl print. 'Hello I am the co-host on the Great Australian Bake-Off!' the Whose Line Is It Anyway? he said in the Instagram post. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'They let me keep the cardigans and I am still not sure how to pronounce or spell mille-feuille! 'This was genuinely so much fun, I struggle to talk about and not sound completely nuts. The cast and crew were so welcoming, warm and funny and I am very, very, very happy.' Best known as a stand-up comedian, Baker has won prizes at both the Sydney Comedy Festival and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. He's also appeared on Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont-Spelling Bee. Baker and Tran will be joined this season by judges Rachel Khoo and Darren Purchese. Wilson tragically died after filming episodes for season seven of the popular cooking competition in 2023. She passed away on October 11, 2023 from a rare and aggressive cancer, just four weeks after taking herself to hospital with worrying lower back pain. The Melbourne-based stand up comedian is survived by her husband Chris Woods and son Digby. Fans were informed of her death in a statement shared to Instagram, confirming that the beloved comedian had passed away in a Sydney hospital. 'We are devastated to share the news that Cal Wilson, the much-loved stand up comedian, writer and actor died today, surrounded by family and friends in hospital after a short illness,' it read. 'Cal was loved by her family, friends, fans and peers and a huge hole has been torn in the heart of our community.' One of Australia's top comedians, Wilson had a long and successful career in stand-up and on TV. She had worked as a radio and television presenter, actress and author. She starred on TV shows Spicks and Specks, Would I Lie To You and Good News Week. She featured as host in episodes of The Great Australian Bake Off 2024. 'Cal's generosity, talent and friendships have been constant in the Australian comedy scene for the last twenty years,' her management company Token Artists said in a statement after her death. 'Cal was loved by her family, friends, fans and peers and a huge hole has been torn in the heart of our community. Wilson filmed her Bake Off episodes before her illness made it impossible for her to continue to work. 'Season Seven holds a special place in all our hearts. Cal's passing was a devastating shock to the Bake Off family,' Foxtel senior staffer Wendy Moore said last year ahead of the show going to air. Moore added Foxtel had the 'full support' of Wilson's family to ensure her terrific final series of Bake Off was aired. Wilson only filmed four episodes before her passing and comedian Tran took over hosting duties for the rest of the series.

X Factor star Jai Waetford welcomes his first child with his partner Bec Donaghy
Jai Waetford has welcomed his first child with his partner Bec Donaghy. The former X Factor Australia child star, 25, announced the news by sharing a photo of his girlfriend Bec cradling their newborn baby to Instagram. 'Sleepy angel,' he simply captioned the photo. The couple first announced they were expecting a baby together on New Year's Day by sharing photos of Bec's growing baby bump. Jai, who was just 14 years old when he rose to fame on The X Factor in 2013, doted over Bec as he tenderly cradled her stomach. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. He cut a stylish figure in a black T-shirt and cargo trousers, which he styled with a pleather jacket and white trainers. Bec proudly put her blossoming bump on full display in a black bandeau top and low-rise grey jeans, while she swept a cropped pleather jacket over her shoulders. In an accompanying caption, the couple gushed: 'Baby Waetford coming 2025.' It is not known exactly how long Jai and Bec have been dating but they started featuring on each other's Instagram pages in 2023. They went Instagram official in July 2023 with a cosy photograph of them packing on the PDA, which was shared to Bec's account. Sydney singer Jai captured Australians' hearts when he rose to fame on The X Factor in 2013, when he earned the nickname of 'Aussie Bieber'. He impressed with his audition, where he sang Different Worlds by Jes Hudak and his own original song Don't Let Me Go. He eventually placed third on the fifth season of The X Factor Australia and his debut single Your Eyes peaked at number six on the ARIA Singles Chart. In 2016, he moved away from singing and went on to pursue a television career, making his acting debut on Neighbours as Angus Beaumont-Hannay. He portrayed the son of Sarah Beaumont and Peter Hannay for around 50 episodes before announcing he was relocating to Hollywood. He signed with the powerful US talent company Creative Artists Agency and spent some time in Africa and South America before returning to Australia. Since relocating back Down Under, Jai returned to screens in Stan drama Critical Incident.
