Radiant in style! Edwina Bartholomew and Jessica Rowe lead a star-studded line-up at The Australian Women's Weekly Health Summit in Sydney
Some of Australia's most recognisable media personalities gathered for The Australian Women's Weekly Health Summit at the Hilton Sydney on Saturday. Edwina Bartholomew, Shelly Horton, Michelle Bridges, Sophie Tedmanson and Jessica Rowe were all smiles as they posed together on the media wall at the event. Sunrise presenter Edwina, 42, kept things effortlessly chic in a fitted long-sleeve grey top tucked into a pair of high-waisted wide-leg jeans. She added a touch of polish to her look with pointed silver heels and small diamond earrings. Her blonde bob was softly curled for a fresh, youthful finish and her natural makeup featured a peachy blush and nude lip. The look struck the perfect balance between casual comfort and understated glamour. Meanwhile, Jessica, 55, was impossible to miss in a floor-length shirt dress splashed with bold abstract prints in a rainbow of colours. The television personality teamed the statement look with sleek white heels. Her cropped, rose-gold pixie cut added an edgy touch, while her makeup was bright and glowy with a soft pink lip to tie the look together. She lit up the room with trademark playful confidence, strutting her bold and brilliant style. Shelly, 51, also embraced colour with a hot pink pantsuit layered over a navy blouse, pairing the vibrant set with white sneakers for a laid-back edge. The journalist's shoulder-length red hair was styled in relaxed waves, and she opted for a pop of colour on the lips to match her ensemble. Meanwhile, Michelle, 54, brought a sporty sophistication to the event, showing off her toned frame in a black cropped wrap top and fitted leather-look trousers. The Biggest Loser star kept her accessories minimal, styling her long brunette locks in loose waves while her makeup was natural with bronzed tones.

One of the world's biggest hotels invented the brownie – here's where you can try it
If there were a Hall of Fame for sweet treats, the brownie would have a big, chocolate-smeared plaque. Fudgy or cakey, glossy or cracked, nut-studded or caramel-swirled, this decadent dessert is loved all around the world. But its origin story may surprise you (and make you hungry): the chocolate brownie was actually invented at a Hilton Hotel in Chicago more than 100 years ago. Aussies have been able to bite into a piece of that rich history at Hilton Hotels across the country, including a reimagined twist for the Hilton Sydney's 50th birthday. Read on to discover how the brownie was made. It's hard to imagine a world without brownies, but this rich, chocolatey icon was only created in 1893 at Palmer House, a Hilton Hotel in Chicago. The genius invention is specifically credited to American businesswoman, socialite and philanthropist Bertha Palmer. As president of the Ladies Board for Managers for the World's Columbian Exposition (Chicago World's Fair), Palmer was tasked with creating a dessert for the Women's Pavilion that was easy to transport in boxed lunches. She enlisted Palmer House's pastry team to create something smaller than a cake or pie, but denser and more decadent than a cookie. The result? The very first brownie – rich, fudgy, studded with walnuts and finished with an apricot glaze. The new invention wasn't called a brownie at the time, but after its debut at the World's Exposition, the decadent treat began appearing in cookbooks and bakeries around the world. The OG brownie Palmer and the pastry team created is still on the menu at Palmer House in Chicago – and since then, hotels in Australia have reimagined the original recipe. For example, Hilton Sydney celebrated its 50th birthday in 2025 with a rich macadamia brownie, while Hilton Melbourne Little Queen Street once served up a cheeky Piña Colada-inspired version. But if you want to bite into the original, you'll need to book a flight to Chicago!
