Q S T Y L E .
You’ve become very visible very quickly…
Once I’d booked The Babysitter – which was on The Black List [a list of the most hyped but as-yet-unproduced scripts in Hollywood] for years – it felt like I finally had my foot in the door. I’ve been in the industry for 10 years and not having to jump through as many hoops when it comes to auditions is really refreshing.
What’s the hardest part about the path
you’ve chosen?
An actor is a professional auditioner in a sense, constantly waiting for a “promotion”. I’ve seen so many talented people try to break through but for some reason, whether it’s bad luck or timing, never do. I’m so grateful that hasn’t been the case for me.
You’ve played a satanic babysitter, trophy
girlfriend and high-schooler in the past
year. How do you pivot between such
different roles?
For a couple of weeks after I finish a job, my boyfriend will say, “Can you stop being so weird?” and I’m like, “I’m sorry, I’ve just spent four months playing an oppressed 16-year-old from the early 1900s [for Picnic at Hanging Rock]!” You really take on a character and I’m still learning how to shake it off afterwards. I call it the actor’s hangover.
Travelling as much as you do, what’s your
best tip for beating jet lag?
The secret is an ice-cold ocean dip as soon as you get off the plane. It’s the first thing I do when I land in Australia. And never have caffeine on a flight, only water.
WEAVING HER MAGIC
The Adelaide-born actress is attracting the kind of buzz most expats only dream of. Here, she talks about living
up to the hype and her adopted home of Los Angeles.
If you could take anything from Sydney
back to LA, what would it be?
The beaches. I live in West Hollywood, which is about an hour away from the nearest beach when you take traffic into account. The trick is to make friends with people who have pools.
And if you could bring one thing from LA
back to Sydney?
The night-life, because I love that you can walk around at midnight or after 2 o’clock in the morning and some of the best bars in town are still open.
What’s your favourite thing to do in LA?
See a film. This company [Cinespia] holds screenings at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. You pack a picnic and some drinks and watch a movie surrounded by gravestones, which is creepy but cool. They do all-night marathons, too.
And what would you recommend to
a first-time visitor?
A visit to LACMA [the Los Angeles County Museum of Art] or The Getty Center, followed by an afternoon at Venice Beach. Riding the merry-go-round on the pier is too much fun.
Does LA feel like home now?
It does but I try to come back [to Australia] at least once or twice a year, otherwise I miss it. Once an Aussie, always an Aussie.
Season 1 of SMILF is available to stream
exclusively on Stan. Picnic at Hanging Rock
will premiere on Foxtel later this year.
Samara Weaving is the type of person who’d bristle at the word “journey”. But if anyone’s been on one, it’s her. The 26-year-old niece of acclaimed Australian actor Hugo Weaving was born in Adelaide and raised all over Asia and Europe by her academic parents before spending four years on the fictional streets of Home and Away’s Summer Bay (like Isla Fisher and Chris Hemsworth before her). Since then she’s ping-ponged between Australia and the United States, officially relocating to Los Angeles after landing the lead role (of a murderous babysitter) in Netflix’s 2017 horror-comedy smash The Babysitter.
A buzz has trailed Weaving ever since, growing louder after her small but memorable part in the awards-season steamroller Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri opposite Frances McDormand, Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell. Then there was her on-point portrayal of an irritatingly perfect girlfriend in the breakout hit SMILF (the second season is currently in production), a raw and honest dramedy about a twentysomething single mum.
Later this year, Weaving will star as ill-fated schoolgirl Irma Leopold in the television adaptation of Australian classic Picnic at Hanging Rock alongside Game of Thrones alum Natalie Dormer – a series so hotly anticipated that it sparked a network bidding war in the US. On an increasingly rare visit home, Weaving took time out to dress up and talk shop.

Homewares and furniture by Chi Wing Lo
If you were to collect the work of one Chinese designer, you’d make it Chi Wing Lo (chiwing lo.it), says Wang, who describes the former art director of Italian luxury furniture maker Giorgetti as “striving for a synthesis of past and present”.
CJW “ZODIAC” CUSHION FROM LANE CRAWFORD“You can’t have too many cushions,”
says Wang, who admires her cousin,
Christina Wang, for her works in
ink on silk. Applying her craft to silk
cushions (top; lanecrawford.com),
the artist and designer injects
a little fun into the Chinese zodiac.

Mind your chakrasWhether you’re after a luxury spin on ’70s spirituality or a high-tech approach to tradition, the biggest wellness trends require an open mind and a healthy dose of scepticism, writes Anne Fullerton.
“Wellness” is a divisive concept. Is it a much-needed escape hatch from an age of constant digital noise or, as American actress Hari Nef quipped, “a thing that upper-class white women in their 30s invented in order to battle invisible demons that don’t exist”? Whatever your position, the world of wellness is a very visible $US3.7 trillion global industry, with wellness tourism growing more than twice as fast as tourism in general. According to industry body the Global Wellness Institute, a great deal of that expansion is happening in alternative therapies. “Things that felt so hippie-ish and ’70s are now absolutely the No.1 wellness trend in the West,” says the institute’s director of research and PR, Beth McGroarty. “The more kooky or wacky the treatment, the bigger it is.” Here’s a teaser.
According to Modrn Sanctuary
(modrnsanctuary.com), a luxury
wellness centre in Manhattan
that specialises in the practice,
the crystals “shine on/off in healing
rhythms to cleanse, balance and
align your energies”.
If nothing else, they’ll look
great on your Instagram feed.
Infra-red saunasThe oldest known sauna is just
a pit of stones in Finland but over
the past two millennia, this ancient
tradition has undergone multiple
face lifts. The latest and trendiest
incarnation uses infra-red light
waves to create heat in the body
instead of in the air. The lower
temperatures mean you can stay
in there for longer – all the better
for treating everything from high
blood pressure to arthritis, if you
believe its devotees.
Model Miranda Kerr has an
infra-red sauna in her guesthouse
but the rest of us can sweat in
style at Nimbus & Co. (nimbusco.
com.au) at Sydney’s Bondi Beach.
Cult fitnessThe latest status workouts are
about more than rock-hard abs
– they’re about spirituality and
rock-hard abs. In New York and Los
Angeles, The Class by Taryn Toomey
(taryntoomey.com) combines a
vigorous workout with “clearing
your space” (read: burpees with
a side of cathartic screaming).
But for the real new-wave
experience, spend a day in LA’s
Runyon Canyon, hiking and
breathing heavily with The Wildfire
Initiative (thewildfireinitiative.
com), a fitness club led by four
gym bros who offer “cutting-edge
presence training to usher in a new
era of awareness and to manifest
the great reality”. Meet-ups are
free to attend and happen every
Sunday so there’s no need to feel
intimidated. Remember, they’re
just your average collection of
actors, models and Olympians
getting outdoors, enjoying one
another’s company and fine-
tuning their perfect torsos.
Vinotherapy“The old model of excess, the party
mentality, is not as affordable for
people any more,” says McGroarty,
citing a new, health-conscious
breed of millennial traveller as
an emerging force in the industry.
That said, excess always finds
a way and it doesn’t get more
wonderfully excessive than sipping
a glass of wine while soaking in a
bath of wine – you know, for the
anti-ageing properties.
French beauty brand Caudalie
was the first to spruik the skin-
softening properties of grape seed
polyphenols but today you can
soak in a vat of vino everywhere
from Italy to Japan.
Salt therapyLet’s get this out of the way:
there’s no scientific evidence that
sitting in a room built from salt
blocks will improve the symptoms
of asthma, arthritis, eczema or any
other ailment – except, perhaps, an
electrolyte deficiency (in which case,
licking the walls may help). Then
again, one look at the salt chamber
in the luxurious spa at Sirene Luxury
Hotel Bodrum (hotel.qantas.com.
au/sirenebodrum), on Turkey’s idyllic
Aegean coast, will see you checking
any reservations at the door.
Sound bathingBizarre name aside, sound bathing,
which involves relaxing to the
sounds of Tibetan singing bowls
or bowls made of quartz crystal,
may serve as a useful meditation
technique for novices who
struggle to reach nirvana through
breathwork alone. Think of it as
meditating to a soundtrack.
In Southern California’s Mojave
Desert, taking a sound bath in
the Integratron (integratron.com)
– a domed structure described
by its creator as “a time machine
for basic research on rejuvenation,
anti-gravity and time travel” – will
transport you to another world
before you even close your eyes.
Crystal light bed therapyForget a balanced diet. These days
it’s all about balanced chakras – or
is that energy fields? Don’t get too
hung up on the details because
everyone from Adele to Victoria
Beckham is embracing the pleasing
aesthetic and purported healing
properties of precious stones.
Crystal light bed therapy, which
involves lying on a massage table
beneath seven rainbow-coloured
Vogel-cut quartz crystals (one
for each chakra), first emerged
in Brazil’s John of God healing
community. More recently, it
has captured the attention
of SoCal yogis and East Coast
fashionistas, who will gladly
shell out $US120 (about $150)
a pop for a restorative session.
