Daisy Edgar-Jones just wore this $40 Australian-made fake tan on the red carpet in Cannes
Let's be honest, red carpet beauty prep feels a long way from our everyday bronzing routine, but when Daisy Edgar-Jones stepped onto the Cannes red carpet looking like a glowy goddess, we collectively needed answers. The actress, known for her roles in Normal People, Twisters, and On Swift Horses, wasn't glowing by chance; she was tanned to perfection by celebrity tanner James Harknett using Australian-made, certified organic Three Warriors self-tan. Yep, this local legend of a beauty brand helped Daisy look like she'd just returned from a week on the Amalfi Coast, not stepped off a plane and into the glare of international flashbulbs. So, how can you get Daisy's lit-from-within bronze without a glam squad? James Harknett, aka the man behind the glow, spilled his red carpet tanning secrets, and it starts with prep. 'Daisy's prep is always on point,' James says. 'She always follows my tips to a T. A cool rinse, exfoliation, and making sure the skin is clean and oil-free. She uses the Three Warriors Tasmanian Sand Scrub, which creates the perfect canvas.' Step 1: Start with a smooth canvas: Exfoliating Tasmanian Sand Scrub, $29.95 at Adore Beauty This gentle, natural scrub is packed with real Tasmanian sand (no microplastics here) and works to buff away dead skin cells while hydrating with Aloe Vera and Coconut Oil. It's ideal for removing any patchy remnants of last week's tan and smoothing the skin pre-application. Step 2: Go for glow, not orange: Self Tan Mousse, $38.95 at Adore Beauty Described as ' nothing too strong ' by James, this lightweight mousse builds a natural-looking tan with warm bronze tones that suit fair to medium skin beautifully. It smells like vanilla and lime (not the usual biscuit), dries quickly, and fades like a dream. 'I use fine layering to build colour and even contour,' James shares. 'The olive and violet tones in Three Warriors neutralise orange, which is key.' Step 3: Don't skip the aftercare: James swears by cool showers, no oily body products, and gentle moisturisers to make your glow last. Avoid harsh face products too; anything with AHAs will strip your tan fast. His favourite trick to maintain the glow? Three Warriors' Hydrabronze Tanning Drops added to your night cream. 'The perfect colour and hydration boost,' he says. From Hobart to Hollywood Three Warriors founder Corbin Halliday says seeing his brand go from small-batch beginnings in Tasmania to the Cannes Film Festival is still surreal. 'I never dreamed it would end up on the red carpet with A-list celebrities,' he said. 'Seeing it grow from Hobart to Hollywood is honestly surreal.'

On Swift Horses star Diego Calva on playing Jacob Elordi's on-screen boyfriend and his mental health journey
'Being naked around Jacob Elordi is intimidating!' declares Diego Calva with an infectious giggle, describing his co-star in On Swift Horses. We get it: the pair spend much of this new 1950s-set romance rolling around in matching tighty-whities. 'He's like a fucking god!' Calva adds. 'He's too perfect!' Cue more infectious giggling. Coming from the beautiful with a capital 'B' man whose mesmeric face was the best thing about 2022's Babylon, such modesty is a charming quality. (In a wild turn of events, I bump into Elordi in a London pub that very night, and the Euphoria star is naturally over the moon to learn his friend has landed an Attitude cover.) Calva then reveals how he bonded with Elordi. 'He plays Pokémon. He was playing it on Nintendo Switch. I'd just finished the new game three weeks before. That was the icebreaker: 'How do you catch this Pokémon?' We just started playing!' In On Swift Horses, Calva plays card shark Henry, who starts a passionate affair with drifter and hustler Julius (Elordi). (Rounding out the cast is Warfare's Will Poulter as Julius's strapping, all-American brother Lee, and Normal People's Daisy Edgar-Jones as Lee's secretly queer wife, Muriel.) Calva was Golden Globe-nominated for his role in Babylon as Hollywood exec Manny, the only man wonderful enough to (briefly) tame Margot Robbie's dazzling 20s starlet Nellie. Who tames who in On Swift Horses is up for debate. 'What I can say is: Hollywood likes me in a period movie, kissing Australian people!' Calva points out. Quite. News of Margot Robbie and Elordi playing tortured lovers in a new take on Wuthering Heights is 'funny' to Calva. 'Doing Horses, Jacob asked me a lot about Margot,' he says. 'Margot's the queen of Australia, and now we have a new king. … I feel pretty lucky — I've kissed both!' This rapidly rising star has form for cheeky quotes. Ever since he teased On Swift Horses' 'pretty hot' sex scenes in a Variety interview in 2023 — and after Barry Keoghan raised the stakes with his bath-drinking revelry opposite Elordi in 2023's Saltburn — the thirst for this film has been real. Battle-hardened by the explicit nature of Euphoria, The White Lotus et al, this viewer went in expecting… Well, it's partly set in Las Vegas, land of Showgirls. Strip poker at least? What I was not expecting was a central dynamic of Heartstopper-level sweetness and a love story, based on the novel of the same name by Shannon Pufahl, that snaps at the heels of Brokeback Mountain and Call Me by Your Name. 'It's like when you fall in love with your first love when you're eight,' says Calva. 'You fall in love with your cousin or your teacher. Something really sweet, platonic, in a way. …When they're inside the hotel room, in their world, because they have to hide from the actual world — they're kids.' It's strange to think that their love, in 1950s America, is illegal; stranger still to think homosexuality was only effectively legalised in America in 2003, when the Supreme Court struck down all remaining state sodomy laws in the landmark Lawrence v. Texas case. (Yes, that recently.) As such, the sex scenes are pointedly there, in flip-flopping abundance, but they're tasteful. The best, in which Julius pins Henry against a mirror, is shot from the shoulders up: the sight of these two handsome faces, reflected into four, is almost more male beauty than the camera can bear. 'It's hard not to do a hot scene with Jacob shirtless!' says Calva, before adding: 'Dan [Minahan], the director, is such a gentleman. He told us: 'I don't want to provoke the audience. This is about actual love. I don't want a classic story of tragedy around these queer characters and then they have kinky sex — no, no, no. They're two sweet guys who really fall in love.'' Calva's protective of them. 'Henry is wilder and more dangerous in the streets,' he adds. 'But with Julius, he's very tender.' Calva is Zooming with me from Istanbul, Turkey, a country gripped by political instability. Within days, thousands march in protest over the arrest of Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoğlu, frontrunner in the 2028 presidential race and challenger to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, which is surely an attempt to crush democratic opposition. 'I've seen groups of people — they're trying to change stuff, I support them,' says Calva from his hotel lobby, energised. Turkey is as good an example as any as to why films like On Swift Horses are vital — that's if it's even screened there. Authorities in Istanbul banned a 2024 screening of Daniel Craig's Queer, after all, while Pride has been banned in Turkey since 2015. 'Now I'm here, the movie's a reminder that we still have a lot of jobs to do,' says Calva. 'A reminder that it was not a long time ago that this was forbidden all over the world. … It's crazy there are [still] places, countries, chasing queer people.' Watching Calva's two biggest films back to back is another reminder that progress, like sexual liberation, is more of a pendulum swing than a straight line. Babylon depicts roaring 20s Hollywood shifting from silent film to talkies in what was a decade of frenetic change, decadent excess and sexual debauchery, immortalised in a staggeringly drawn-out, swinging-from-the-chandeliers mass orgy scene where anything goes. (Coked-up watersports? You got it). In contrast, '50s America in On Swift Horses, with its low hemlines and white picket fences, seems positively draconian — you can almost feel the asphyxiation of nuclear family ideals as post-Second World War, post-Korean War society grasps for stability. 'It's crazy, no?' says Calva of the contrast. 'The pioneers of moviemaking in the wild, crazy '20s, there was a little more freedom. Then we started to put in a lot of rules. And after the Korean War, a lot of young guys came from the army having realised they're gay, and now they don't have a place to be.' LGBTQ+ women had it no better, of course, as On Swift Horses illustrates so effectively with what might be a film first: a narrative split equally between a queer man and woman who are not a couple. Muriel's first girl-on-girl kiss is interrupted by a police raid on a queer bar; later, she jitterbugs in her underwear in the privacy of her lover's home, an adorably innocent moment laced with the threat of discovery. Babylon, meanwhile, has a sapphic sub-plot involving Chinese-American cabaret-singer Lady Fay (Li Jun Li) saving the life of Nellie by sucking snake venom from her neck — a gasp-inducing scene prompting a glass-closet affair and tabloid sensation. 'We're not used to talking about lesbians in film,' offers Calva. 'Not that much. There's a lot of fabric to cut, a lot of stories to tell.' […] Discussing the personal impact of playing queer characters, and the questions they've raised, Calva explains: 'Every time I've played a character, I keep something. Not a prop, not part of the costume — something about their universe, their hearts. … I played a Columbian character, for example. Now I'm a really, really big salsa fan, and learnt about the political situation in '90s Columbia. 'So, playing Henry, of course, there's something about being queer… And I'm playing an immigrant. I realised I've felt what it is to be hiding as an immigrant, being chased, being judged for the colour of my skin. … It's not about 'queer Mexican'. It's about the universe. What can you find, and keep, about the character? Then the conversation could turn to some [other] place. What is being straight? What is being queer? What's a straight or queer character? For me, it's actually the coolest part of my profession. I'm able to be a lot of different people for a month, for three months, and I'm going to be a little part of those characters for the rest of my life. And I'll defend that statement always.'

Spiral curls have never looked better on Daisy Edgar-Jones
We've seen the beauty realm evolve in a multitude of ways over the past decade. Long gone are the days when celebrity beauty ops would be dedicated solely to the red carpet with techniques used often obscured from the public eye. We've fast moved on to an aspirational age of social media: how-to tutorials by the professional artists themselves, established content creators sharing their own cosmetic hacks and even full-face routines by some of the biggest A-listers. And we've all emerged the better for it. It's undeniable—the likes of Instagram and TikTok have given us all a space for unabashed self-expression. And for some, an artfully made-up mien or a customised change of talons are the perfect canvases to do so. Pop culture has had significant influence in the sphere. Experimentation is abound, with novice creators and popular personalities alike attempting to ace a make-up look that is all the rage or share a thematic one-off look for others to recreate. Then begs the question: how do we sieve out the best of all? Make-up trends surely begin somewhere, and learning from our seasoned celebrities is never a bad place to start if you're feeling overwhelmed. Vogue Singapore might be of help to you on that front—with our monthly curation of captivating beauty moments, courtesy of our favourite faces from Hollywood, the K-pop scene and more, just for that fresh jazz of inspiration. In April, festival beauty took off in the Colorado desert. At Coachella, Tyla, the girls of XG as well as returning queen Lady Gaga delivered exquisite beauty looks—that could only rival their own performances. We're talking facial embellishments, bold swatches of colour and plumped-up pouts in deep, rich shades. Over in press tour territory, Florence Pugh strikes out with an electric orange eyeshadow moment that felt just right for her Thunderbolts press tour. Meanwhile, Daisy Edgar-Jones incited immediate hair envy when she showed off her flouncy, spiral curls for the press tour of her recent film On Swift Horses . Cast your gaze on the best celebrity beauty moments from April 2025, below. @xgofficial 1 / 14 Cocona of XG No notes, Cocona's beauty delivery at the second weekend of Coachella 2025 was one to behold. For the desert stage, she encrusted her whole head in a lattice-like formation of blood red rhinestones, devouring her onlookers in her extraterrestrial style. @daisyedgarjones 2 / 14 Daisy Edgar-Jones There comes a time when a hairstyle appears so covetable to the unassuming eye, you simply can't stop staring. This moment feels like one of them. Daisy Edgar-Jones, on her press tour for On Swift Horses , made her bouncy waves and side-swept fringe look Parisian chic yet so fresh again. @hi_sseulgi 3 / 14 Seulgi of Red Velvet She'll always be that girl. Aura points were instantly felt when we met this version of her: powder blue lashes, under eye blush, and a layered shag–all to take cast her the street cred she holds. @zhangruonannan 4 / 14 Zhang Ruonan A splash of yellow. Subtle streaks of butter accent the lids of the leading lady of hit Chinese drama The First Frost , whose eye work stands out against her natural mien. @ninapark 5 / 14 Hailey Bieber Nothing comes close. The perfect bronze finish exists where Hailey Bieber is concerned—her soft, blurred skin, a pink wash of blush and that delicious swipe of what can only be her Rhode peptide lip gloss. Getty 6 / 14 Lady Gaga A vampiric pout of a divine wine. Bleached arches. Talons for days. Such were the beauty notes to cop from Lady Gaga's breathtaking show in the desert. @onyourm__ark 7 / 14 Mark of NCT He's a babygworl for real. Sunkissed, sunburnt and freckled-up? It's the only way we want to see Mark of NCT ascend on stage from now on. Getty 8 / 14 Florence Pugh Did someone hear thunder? For the London premiere of her upcoming Marvel film, the decade-defining actress strikes out on her own again with a cataclysmic look that draws immediate attention to the orange strobes worn across her peepers as well as her slicked-back mane. Getty 9 / 14 Tyla A free spirit on stage, Tyla channeled her most animalistic beat of beauty—smearing a popping shade of magenta all through her eye line. And if that didn't scream summer bash, then her wet, splaying hair billowing in the wind certainly did. @lalalalisa_m 10 / 14 Lisa The formula? Jewel-embellished inner corners, baby braids and a cat eye that instantly transforms Lisa into her stage alter ego. @doechii 11 / 14 Doechii We can't say for sure, but that sultry blue liner and apple blush combination is working together with aplomb. Bonus points for that impeccably brightened under eye finish, plumping lip liner and gold coffin nails. @jenaissante 12 / 14 Huh Yunjin of Le Sserafim Chromatic rebellion. A certified party-ready look: a line of metallic foil creating dimension to her otherwise simply yet delicate beat. @davidebarbieri_ 13 / 14 Genevieve O'Reilly The galactica beckons. Amid the press tour for Andor Season 2, O'Reilly channels her best Mon Mothma in this regal yet powerfully subdued look with her softly-brushed mane and wispy bun formation. @xgofficial 14 / 14 Hinata of XG Igari make-up 2.0. She's got the drunken blush down to a tee—but it's those freckled specks of crimson, red-rimmed peepers and spidery lashes that are really doing it for us.

On Swift Horses Review: Character Study with Shallow Characters
HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – On Swift Horses centers on three characters during the 1950s, and while the actors do an admirable job, the story fails to reveal any amount of depth to the characters' motivations. Directed by Daniel Minahan, On Swift Horses stars Daisy Edgar-Jones, Jacob Elordi, and Will Poulter. Poulter plays a traditionally minded Korean War veteran who returns home and dreams of buying a starter home in California. Meanwhile, his brother (Elordi) is closeted man who eventually moves to Las Vegas to seek his fortune. His wife (Edgar-Jones), who seems to have an unspoken connection with her brother-in-law, begins to experiment with gambling and a same-sex relationship once she moves to California. Last week's review: Sinners On Swift Horses looks very good. Luc Montpellier's cinematography is arresting and beautiful, and the costume (Jeriana San Juan) and production (Erin Magill) designs capture the fifties aesthetic perfectly. Though the actors are quite convincing as these characters, what the script does with the characters is shallow and a bit confused. There are two plotlines of On Swift Horses. Edgar-Jones's character surreptitiously gambles on the local horse races with tips she picks up from overheard conversations at the diner where she works. Elordi's character also experiements with gambling in the high-stakes, dangerous casinos of Las Vegas. In both cases, the gambling only serves as a means of getting the characters from one plot event to another. In a film like this, which is ostensibly a character study, the gambling compulsion should come from something elemental to the characters, rather than just a minor plot contrivance. Likewise, the same-sex relationships in this film are just normal affairs. Edgar-Jones's character falls for a local woman, and Elordi's character falls for a risk-taking man. The relationships are not woven into the tapestry of the 1950s, and the film ends up being a bland collection of psuedolove stories that could be set anywhere at any time. Even when secrets are inevitably revealed, some characters are far more accepting than they might have been during this time. And the film's conclusion relies on some pretty wild coincidences. On Swift Horses is trying to be a character study, yet it doesn't deeply explore the characters or up the stakes of the drama. The result is a bland period piece that doesn't rely on the period or have anything revolutionary to say about now. Eyewitness News. Everywhere you are. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
