The celebrity stylist-approved 'IT' item from Target shoppers can't get enough of: 'Wow I need it'
Fashion-forward Aussies and celebrity stylists alike are rushing to Target this winter for not only budget basics, but also the incredible range of coats. Celebrity stylist Donny Galella shared a video showcasing all his latest favourite finds inside the store, including one of the must-have jacket styles of the season. Known for dressing some of Australia's most stylish stars, including the odd Hollywood A-lister like Drew Barrymore and Leanne Rimes, Donny is a master of finding affordable pieces that punch well above their weight. This winter, it seems fashion is leaning into rich textures, and suede is leading the pack. Soft, structured, and seriously stylish, suede is bringing an elevated, tactile quality to any outfit and whether real or faux, suede adds a luxurious feel that looks expensive, even when it's not. 'It's all about the suede bomber this season,' Donny told his followers in the video, showing off Target's Faux Suede Bomber Jacket ($60) before grabbing more eye-catching styles off the rack. Incredibly, the 'IT' design looks almost identical to Henne's cult-favourite Mara Suede Bomber, which comes with an eye-watering $349 price tag. 'This is the beautiful off-white colour,' he added, spinning round the trending bomber style that has been flying off shelves.

At first glance, the similarities between the two are striking. They have the same oversized silhouette, the same luxe suede texture, and that same effortlessly cool vibe that shoppers can't get enough of. But it's the price tag that's turning heads, with fashion lovers scoring the look for less than a sixth of the designer version. Donny also recommended the Target Faux Suede Trench Coat ($70), made from the same luxe-looking fabric, to showcase its versatility in a different silhouette. '[And] a gorgeous caramel trench in suede with a belt,' he added. 'I should say 'faux suede, not actually real-leather suede.' The on-trend colours, textures, flattering cuts, and easy wearability had Donny's followers agreeing to his top-picks in the comments. 'Ahhh I need that trench, wowww,' one wrote. 'Absolute need,' commented another with multiple love heart emojis. While the tan and off-white shades are clearly favourites, Target's wider coat range also includes faux leather blazers, oversized shackets, and puffers in earthy winter tones, highlighting the brand has seriously stepped up its outerwear game. With sizes ranging from 6 to 26 in many pieces, the retailer continues to champion inclusive fashion at accessible prices, appealing to the everyday Australian shopper. These jackets can transform a simple outfit into something more elevated, all for under $70 each. It's proof that you don't have to break the bank to look high-end, and Donny has confirmed these suede jackets are set to become the season's biggest style steals.

Menopause is having a 'moment'
For many generations, menopause was a taboo topic. Despite 6,000 women reaching menopause in the U.S. each day, this pivotal stage in a woman's life has been sidelined and neglected in the broader healthcare landscape. While symptoms can be debilitating for many women, a lack of research and medical training on menopause often results in these issues being misdiagnosed or dismissed. Unfortunately, this can translate to reduced insurance coverage and higher out-of-pocket costs for millions of women trying to manage their symptoms through prescribed medications and treatments. Today, the tide is turning on menopause, due in part to celebrities including Oprah, Halle Berry, and Drew Barrymore speaking publicly about their experiences. They are advocating for greater resources for women, and there is increased acceptance among the current generation in discussing menopause openly. A growing number of startups, like Elektra Health and Midi Health, are offering women more education, access to care, and a virtual community to help them face their menopause journeys. Even legislators are taking note, proposing changes to improve affordability and increase education for medical professionals across several states. But there's much more to be done, especially when it comes to education and affordability. Last month, our GoodRx team released findings from a new survey exploring the financial difficulties women face when navigating menopause. The data illustrated a greater need to address access and affordability gaps in menopause care, and underscored the importance of evolving our healthcare system to support women at every stage of life. Affordability challenges in menopause care Even as the conversation around menopause grows, women are routinely priced out of the treatments they need to manage their symptoms. Our survey, conducted in February 2025, found that 21% of women have put off or avoided menopause treatment due to financial concerns. And 12% reported having to make financial trade-offs, such as cutting back on other essential expenses, just to afford their care. It's not surprising that women are struggling to afford menopause care, as list prices for menopause medications have risen almost 60% over the last decade, and these costs trickle down to the consumer. Unfortunately, insurance coverage isn't always a reliable solution. Only 26% of women have their menopause-related prescriptions fully covered by insurance, and 8% don't have their prescriptions covered at all. The link is clear: Lower costs are crucial in helping more women access the menopause care they need. Improve the care gap in menopause Beyond cost itself, there is an unmet need to improve access to menopause care. The issue starts in medical schools, where most programs offer limited education on perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause. As a result, the majority of primary care physicians don't have the skillset needed to help their patients manage symptoms. Even within OB-GYN training programs, research shows that less than a third of residency programs have any type of menopause curriculum. When unable to get answers from their usual physicians, many women turn to certified menopause specialists to seek help with their symptoms. But, as of now, there is only one menopause-certified specialist available for every 30,000 menopausal women in the U.S. By improving the full spectrum of menopause care and making sure every primary care physician and OB-GYN has the training they need, we can help break down access barriers and help more women address their symptoms. Unlock new frontiers in menopause care With healthcare industry leaders understanding the need to better support women transitioning into menopause, promising new treatments are emerging. For example, elinzanetant is currently in late-stage clinical development to address hot flashes associated with menopause—one of the most common symptoms. As new medications continue to undergo trials and enter the market, ensuring widespread availability is crucial. By better addressing hot flashes, women can improve their quality of life during menopause. This doesn't just benefit individuals, but improves the healthcare sector as a whole. A more supportive future for women There's no silver bullet that can help lower costs and make menopause treatments more accessible. For healthcare leaders, menopause's growing economic burden is not just a health concern, but a call for systemic change. There are several levers we can pull to create a better, more supportive system for women. First, manufacturers of the most effective treatments for menopause, like menopausal hormone therapy, can look beyond insurance coverage and find ways to support women who are forced to pay out of pocket for these medications. While copay cards can be incredibly helpful for many high-cost prescriptions, these types of discount programs have low awareness. Pharmaceutical manufacturers can turn to trusted consumer resources, like GoodRx, to offer exclusive patient pay programs for those without adequate coverage on these medications. We launched this exact type of partnership with Pfizer's portfolio of menopause hormone therapies last year and are seeing high uptake. We can further broaden access by working with other manufacturers in this space. Of course we still need to evolve our existing health insurance benefit structures to ensure they adequately support the diverse needs of women going through menopause. This includes providing comprehensive coverage for hormone replacement therapies and other menopausal treatments without prohibitive costs. Employers play a role here, too, and can advocate for health plans that respect women's specific medical needs, which can in turn improve overall job satisfaction, productivity, and tenure. As both a leader and a woman navigating these same healthcare challenges, I'm optimistic about the future. By making menopause management easier, we not only enhance the quality of life for individual women, but generate positive impacts on families and the larger healthcare system.

Birkenstock slashes the price of its iconic Arizona sandals by 23%
When it comes to summer a pair of Birkenstock Arizonas are the top choice for most of us, and you can currently save £25 on them thanks to Schuh's summer sale With the sun set to return (hopefully) any day now and another mini heatwave on the horizon, we're still firmly in the throes of sandal season, and there's one pair that you'll have seen every fashion editor and celebrity wearing year after year; the Birkenstock Arizona sandals. Everyone from Kendall Jenner to Drew Barrymore and Kate Hudson have been spotted wearing a pair over the years, cementing them as the go-to style for fashion lovers everywhere. Although they're more affordable than most A-lister's purchases, their £105 price tag can still be a little steep for some. That's why now is the perfect time to get your hands on a pair, as Schuh has just knocked a huge 23% off them in its summer sale. Now available for £79.99, the discount will save you £25. You can choose from six different colours, although it's worth noting that not all of them are on sale, whilst others have a slightly lower discount applied to them. There are also several other Birkenstock colour options available on Schuh to shop, some with a discount of up to 26%. However it's the khaki pair that are on sale for £79.99, and it's the perfect versatile colourway that will go with everything. Not quite as harsh as black or as difficult to co-ordinate with as some of the bolder shades, the khaki green pair look timeless and sophisticated, and work with just about any other colour in your wardrobe. The Arizona Oiled Leather Sandals are made with premium leather uppers in the signature two-strap design, which fasten with a fully adjustable buckle. The other Birkenstock trademark is the contoured footbed, which contours to your feet over time for a personalised fit that makes them extra comfortable to wear. If you want a slightly more affordable pair, Hush Puppies' Blaire Mule Sandals are priced at £60 and have an almost identical look, with a moulded cork footbed and double strap fastening. The straps are made from real leather with a soft suede finish to ensure there's no rubbing, and shoppers have praised them in reviews for how comfortable and easy to wear they are. Elsewhere New Look has its own high street version, with the Cream Faux Leather Buckled Strap Sandals coming in at a very affordable £16.99. They're part of New Look's Comfort range, which feature cushioned padding, softer linings and flexible soles, and have faux leather straps. However if you've always wanted a pair of Birkenstock Arizona sandals to add to your collection, Schuh's summer sale is the perfect opportunity. They're currently still available in all sizes from a 3 to an 8, and you can pick up larger sizes in the identical men's version, which is also on sale.

Oscars, eyebrows and accents: Anjelica Huston's best roles - ranked!
Wielding a Belarusian accent like a weapon, Huston joins the Wickiverse as The Director, head of the Ruska Roma syndicate, who is forced to help Wick when every assassin in Manhattan is trying to kill him. She can also be seen bullying a dancer, a taste of things to come since The Director will be back very soon, in Ballerina, the new Wick spin-off starring Ana de Armas (out on 6 June). In 1949 New York, a Polish refugee finds himself married to three women. Paul Mazursky's adaptation of Isaac Bashevis Singer's tragicomedy is like straight-faced Woody Allen, and Huston nabbed her second Academy Award nomination for playing Tamara, a cynical yet sensitive concentration camp survivor. A pity the film doesn't revolve around her instead of her less compelling husband. Drew Barrymore makes an adorable proto-feminist heroine in this daft but charming revisionist Cinderella. Meanwhile, Huston's eyebrows are working overtime, but she still imbues her wicked stepmother with more nuance than we usually see in a panto villain. If only Disney had taken this as the model for their live-action fairytale remakes. In Woody Allen's darkest film, Huston plays Dolores, a flight attendant whose lover (Martin Landau) takes drastic action when she threatens to ruin his marriage. Allen himself stars in a lighter parallel thread, but it's the Dostoevskian half that packs the punch here, helped by Huston's fearlessly uningratiating performance as a woman at the end of her tether. Stephen Frears' film of Jim Thompson's novel about a trio of small-time scammers in Los Angeles is powered by Huston's Oscar-nominated performance as a bleached-blond con artist whose feelings towards her adult son (John Cusack) may be more than just maternal. It's scrappy, lowlife Greek tragedy, capped by Huston's gut-wrenching howl of despair. In the first of her five films for Wes Anderson, Huston plays Etheline, wife of a neglectful patriarch (Gene Hackman), and holds her own amid the wacky characters and directorial quirks by playing it low-key, almost naturalistic. No wonder her accountant (Danny Glover) is smitten. Was there ever such a delightfully romantic couple as Huston and Raul Julia as Morticia and Gomez Addams? Barry Sonnenfeld's directing debut is little more than a procession of deliciously morbid sight gags and punchlines ripped straight from the original New Yorker cartoons, but who cares when Huston is giving a masterclass in deadpan delivery, and looking fabulous with it? 'Don't torture yourself, Gomez. That's my job.' On the set of John Huston's black comedy, Anjelica overheard someone saying, 'Her father is the director, her boyfriend's the star, and she has no talent.' She duly silenced any whispers of nepotism by stealing every scene she was in, as Maerose, a scheming mafia princess trying to win back her ex (Jack Nicholson, with whom she had a long-term relationship). She was the third generation of Hustons to bag an Academy Award. In a perfect world, Huston would have won another Oscar for her formidable German-accented turn as the Grand High Witch in Nicolas Roeg's film of Roald Dahl's kiddie horror-comedy. Roeg insisted she wear a 'sexy' dress, and before she removes her wig to reveal her true witchy self in all its Jim Henson Creature Shop hideousness, she does indeed look splendid, as well as terrifying. Huston, who grew up in her father's house in Galway, fits right in with the Irish ensemble cast of the director's small but perfectly formed final film, adapted (by her brother Tony) from a story by James Joyce, set during and after a party in snowy Dublin, 1904. She is deeply affecting as a woman whose melancholy reminiscence of a long-lost love triggers a bittersweet epiphany in her husband. 'One by one, we are all becoming shades,' he reflects. Sublime.

Drew Barrymore's new dining room furniture collection features the most stylish '70s-inspired pieces I've ever seen – they're available from $296 at Walmart
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The '70s are enduring for a reason: the interiors of this sunny decade are warm, elevated, and highly versatile. Now, Drew Barrymore has recreated some of the beloved silhouettes from this era with her new dining room furniture collection for her Walmart line, Beautiful by Drew. The drop features a small and large dining table, bar-height chairs, and dining chairs, all of which come in both honey wood and black finishes. Not to mention, they are extremely well-priced. With all pieces under $400, these picks are a great way to get the '70s look (which has been making quite the comeback lately) at a fraction of the cost. Small dining rooms meet their match with this 42-inch, rounded table, with a contemporary feel and fluted pattern. It would be the perfect accent in a kitchen breakfast nook to add both function and flair. From $296.00 at Walmart Seating up to six people, this table is both durable and elegant, coming in a warm wood or matte black finish. It's the ideal piece for making a formal dining room feel more current and refreshing. From $376.00 at Walmart With dowel-style wood legs and a horseshoe-shaped back, these chairs have a vintage feel with a budget-friendly price tag at $249.00 for a set of two. Eating at the kitchen island has never looked so chic. From $249.00 at Walmart Similar to the counter-height chairs, these dining seats are chic and refined, with the choice between boucle cream or beige and cream striped cushions. The open space at the back makes them the perfect choice for a small dining room. From $219.00 at Walmart The small dining table is particularly noteworthy for those of us looking for small dining room ideas. At 42 inches, this round table is perfect for compact areas, comfortably seating up to four people. Its larger counterpart, meanwhile, is a fantastic option for those who want the same look but have a larger space. The table is outfitted with two fluted legs rather than one, though it comes in the same warm wood shade, and opts for an oval base. Meanwhile, the dining chair options are perfect for both kitchen island seating or traditional dining tables. The stool-height chairs tuck in nicely to a breakfast nook, while the regular-sized ones are truly essentials for any dining area. Both come with an option between a bouclé cream or beige and cream striped linen fabric cushion, combining slight texture and pattern with the chair's sleek, matte finish. Both the chairs and tables also come in a black variation, perfect for those who are working with either monochromatic or contemporary kitchens and dining rooms. The dining table decor ideas with these items are endless: vintage table settings would look fantastic with these pieces, from rattan placemats to mixed and matched napkin rings. For those looking to infuse some retro-inspired furnishings into their homes, this collection is one to add to your wishlist.
