    Episode 4: Angourie Rice

    Episode 4: Angourie Rice

    Angourie Rice is a quiet achiever. There's no doubt you'll recognise her, the question is from where? Maybe it's her role in the box office-busting Spiderman reboot, which she starred in alongside Zendaya and Tom Holland (it was, coincidentally, her first big Hollywood role—no big deal). Or perhaps it's from Mare of Easttown, where she held her own against Kate Winslet in one of the most critically-acclaimed series of the past 10 years. Or, perhaps, it's from her starring role in last years' Mean Girls reboot, in which she was (on personal invitation of Tina Fey) cast in the iconic role originated by Lindsay Lohan. Angourie has worked with Sofia Coppola, Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Garner, and Margaret Qualley. And did we mention she's only 24? In this episode, Angourie opens up to ELLE about her love of reading (she wrote a YA novel with her mum during lockdown), her childhood spent in the theatre, working on one of the world's biggest superhero franchise's while she was still in her teens, the internet's obsession with her love of knitting, and more.

    Episode 3: Jenna Lyons

    Episode 3: Jenna Lyons

    Jenna Lyons is just getting started. Having made her name as one of American fashion's most formidable figures (and best dressed women), Jenna Lyons shocked the fashion world by stepping down from her role as president of J. Crew in 2017. Having shaped the way women dress for almost three decades, she decided to try her hand at a slew of other projects, among them a TV series and a beauty line (Loveseen, a line of cruelty-free, natural-looking fake eyelashes). What nobody could have predicted was that Lyons would join the reboot of the Bravo hit reality series The Real Houseewives of New York. It was a coup for Bravo, but also, unexpectedly, for Lyons herself, who became an instant fan favourite and global pop culture sensation, inspiring a million TikTok posts and just as many Halloween costumes. For this episode of What the ELLE? Grace catches up with Jenna to discuss the changing nature of how we consume fashion, Jenna's time on Housewives, how her experience with a rare genetic disorder lead her to create Loveseen, and more.

    Episode 2: Sandy McIntyre

    Episode 2: Sandy McIntyre

    We’ve always said that if she reads, she reads ELLE. Now, if she listens to podcasts, she listens to What the ELLE? 
    This week, Grace chats with Sandy McIntyre. Sandy is a person who defies easy categorisation. Growing up in Campbelltown in Sydney’s West, McIntyre wanted to become an actor, a model, or a screenwriter, and ultimately they became all three, and so much more. McIntyre is content creator, a TV producer, an advocate for more representation of gender identity in popular culture, and the publisher of the LGTBQI+ publication Queerful. We talk to Sandy about the complexity of growing up nonbinary, discovering their gender identity during a gap year in the UK, pushing for more inclusivity on Australian mainstream TV, and more.

    Episode 1: Sophie Wilde

    Episode 1: Sophie Wilde

    We’ve always said that if she reads, she reads ELLE. Now, if she listens to podcasts, she listens to What the ELLE? We have an amazing line-up of guests for you, kicking off with our inimitable relaunch cover star Sophie Wilde. Sophie is having a very good 2024. She just won her first AACTA, for her star-making role in the cult A24 horror film Talk To Me. She got nominated for a BAFTA Rising Star Award alongside Ayo Ebidiri and Jacob Elordi (and went viral with Prince William in the process). She wrapped filming on the erotic thriller Babygirl with Nicole Kidman and Antonio Banderas. And she became a bonafide fashion icon, working with Loewe, Chanel, Gucci, and more. Here, our editor and host Grace O'Neill talks to Sophie about shooting ELLE's relaunch cover, idolising Audrey Hepburn, learning to hone her taste, working with Nicole Kidman, and more.
