Best celebrity fragrances Australia: Best Picks shares the 10 perfumes that are truly worth your money
There was a time when celebrity fragrances were little more than glorified body sprays, launched with a shiny press tour and destined to gather dust in the discount bin. But in the past decade, something shifted. Celebrities started treating fragrance not just as another merchandising opportunity but as a genuine extension of their personal brand and more importantly, their artistic expression. Take Rihanna, for example. Her Fenty Eau de Parfum is not only her signature scent, but a fragrance she worked on personally for years, crafting a blend that feels warm, sensual and intimate. It's a far cry from the one-size-fits-all sweet florals of the early 2000s. Likewise, Selena Gomez's Rare Eau de Parfum is modern, genderless and complex, a scent that says more about confidence and quiet individuality than it does about chasing trends. Even newer entries, like Sabrina Carpenter's Sweet Tooth or Guy Sebastian's IVE, show that the celeb fragrance space is no longer just about mass appeal. It's about mood, intention and emotional storytelling. Of course, not all celebrity scents are created equal. Some genuinely smell like they belong on a luxury perfume counter, while others still smell like high school. The key is knowing which ones are worth the spritz, and which are best left on the shelf. In this edit, we've hand-picked 10 celebrity fragrances currently available in Australia that not only pass the sniff test, but genuinely deserve a spot on your vanity. Whether you're after something decadent and warm, clean and fresh, or playful and nostalgic, there's a star-powered scent here that'll surprise you, in the best way. And yes, some of them clock in under $40. 1. Rihanna: Fenty Eau de Parfum, $265 at Fenty Beauty This is the scent everyone talks about when they mention ' what Rihanna smells like'. Warm, spicy and floral without being too sweet, it blends magnolia, musk, tangerine and Bulgarian rose. The bottle alone is a showstopper, this is a splurge, but one that feels special. 2 Selena Gomez: Rare Beauty Rare Eau De Parfum, $124 at Sephora A brand-new release that's already gaining cult status. It's soft, woody, and a bit mysterious, with jasmine, saffron and warm amber notes. The bottle is refillable, which is rare (pun intended) for a celebrity scent. 3. Billie Eilish: Eilish EDP, $115 at Myer This is sweet in the best way — think vanilla, soft woods and a touch of musk. It smells cosy and comforting, like warm skin and soft jumpers. It's quietly sexy without trying too hard. 4. Kylie Jenner: Fragrances Cosmic 2.0 Eau de Parfum, $70 at Adore Beauty A fresh, clean blend with star jasmine, amber and vanilla musk. This is a more mature move from Kylie, with a sleek bottle and grown-up feel. Bonus: the 30mL size makes it great for travel. 5. David Beckham: Exquisite Leather Eau de Parfum, $49.99 at Chemist Warehouse A spicy, masculine scent that works for women too. Tobacco, cedarwood and leather make it smell way more expensive than it is. The Beckham range consistently delivers solid, luxe-smelling fragrances at everyday prices. 6. Ariana Grande: Cloud Eau de Parfum Pink, $79.95 at Amazon Australia The updated pink edition of Ari's famous Cloud perfume is sweet, creamy and warm — think cotton candy meets whipped vanilla with a splash of lavender. It's TikTok-famous for a reason. 7. Guy Sebastian: IVE Eau de Toilette $39.99 at Chemist Warehouse This Aussie-made surprise hit is fresh, light and wearable. It's citrusy with a musky dry-down, making it perfect for every day. Guy's fragrance is unexpectedly good — and the price is even better. 8. Britney Spears: Fantasy, $35 at Priceline Pharmacy This Y2K classic is still going strong — and still smells like sugarplum dreams. It's fruity, flirty and nostalgic in all the right ways. For under $40, it's a fun throwback you can actually wear. 9. Sabrina Carpenter: Sweet Tooth by Sabrina Carpenter Caramel Dream Body Spray $50 at Amazon Australia body spray that smells like a fancy gourmand perfume? Yes please. This has caramel, marshmallow and vanilla but somehow isn't sickly. You'll want to reapply it all day. 10. Katy Perry: Purr Eau De Parfum Spray By Katy Perry, $29.99 at Amazon Australia Playful, fruity and a little bit floral, this one feels very early 2010s in the best way. The cat-shaped bottle is pure fun, and the scent is surprisingly wearable. Plus, it's under $30.

Bring Her Back star has an insanely famous grandad and fans are only just realising
We'd love to be a fly on the wall at their family get togethers The Philippou brothers' highly-anticipated horror film Bring Her Back is out in the UK tomorrow (July 26), two years on from their critically-acclaimed cinematic debut, Talk To Me. Bring Her Back tells the story of two siblings, Piper and Andy, who are fostered following the untimely death of their father. However, their new caregiver Laura (Sally Hawkins) is still grieving the loss of her own daughter, and acts in increasingly odd ways after their arrival at her home. Among the cast are rising Australian stars Jonah Wren Phillips (Sweet Tooth) and Sora Wong, alongside British actor Billy Barratt. Billy, who plays Andy in the film, may already look familiar to some due to his long list of acting credits which includes appearances in Kraven the Hunter, Sharknado 5 and Invasion. He became the youngest actor ever to win an International Emmy Award for Best Actor when he was just 13 thanks to his role in BBC drama, Responsible Child. However, what fans may not know is that Billy has an insanely famous grandad. The star is related to Welsh music icon Shakin' Stevens (real name Michael Barratt). The music legend's hits include Merry Christmas Everyone, Because I Love You and Give Me Your Heart Tonight. He isn't the only famous family member either. Billy's dad is a sought-after mix engineer called Dean James Barratt who has worked across film and TV and with some big music acts too, including Jess Glynne and Craig David. Shaky, as he is known by fans, is Dean's dad. Meanwhile Billy's mum is also a famous face. Carolyn Owlett is a model, TV and radio host and singer in The 411. She also takes on the role of manager for Billy. Ahead of Bring Her Back's UK release, Billy shared how he got into the mindset for his character Andy. In an interview with Deadline, he revealed: "There were moments where Danny [Philippou] would basically lock me in a room by myself, and he goes, 'Just try and get in character.' "He shut the door, I'm not allowed to leave. I ended up just sitting there with no phone, no nothing — which is great, by the way. I just sat there for ages, and then when I came back outside of that door, back into the scene … you just feel like you are there are in it." He admitted that the technique had actually developed him as an actor, adding: "Seeing the effect it had actually helped me so much, not just in the script but in future projects as well. So thank you, Danny." Bring Her Back releases in UK cinemas July 26

We Smashed Around While Waiting for ‘Twisted Metal' Season 2
Here's a pro tip. Don't try to film while driving a Twisted Metal bumper car. Because, A, you might drop your phone, but also B, you will get called out and made fun of. That's what happened to me, in the most on-brand moment possible, Thursday at San Diego Comic-Con. A few blocks from the convention center, Peacock had an activation for the second season of its fun video game adaptation, returning July 31. The show is about cars that fight like warriors, so, short of actually letting you blow cars up, what better way to pay homage than with bumper cars? That's how a parking lot in the Gaslamp District of San Diego, CA, became a big bumper car attraction. A showcase for the classic carnival ride, with a few Twisted Metal tweaks, of course. Actors dressed as characters from the show roamed the space, urging you to excel in the competition. The always boisterous Sweet Tooth leads karaoke for the people in line, with a few lyrics changed to his liking. Several cars from the show itself were parked for photos, and, eventually, there was the main event. Bumper cars just like you remember when you were a kid, with the addition of a man in a black suit and long straight hair running around and telling you how bad you are at driving the whole time. It's the character Calypso, played by Anthony Carrigan on the show, and while Carrigan wasn't watching bumper cars all day, his counterpart did an excellent job of emceeing the carnage, all while rock songs were played by the nearby DJ. In the end, was it basically just bumper cars with 'Twisted Metal' written on the hood? Yes, it was. But the design of them, the space, the roaming characters, and more really set the tone for a fun experience for anyone killing a few hours at Comic-Con. Here are a few images. Twisted Metal season 2 returns July 31 on Peacock. The activation is open July 25-26, from noon to 6 p.m., at The Lot @ 1st and J, 450 2nd Ave, San Diego, CA. Want more io9 news?
