Sophie Turner and Priyanka Chopra-Jonas, the incredible actors who also happen to be the wives of Joe Jonas and Nick Jonas respectively, have really embraced their newfound sister(-in-law)hood. The latest instance of this? The pair were both snapped separately on the streets wearing the exact same outfit.

Thanks to fashion icon Victoria Beckham, who posted about the incident on her own account, we were alerted to the fact that both sisters-in-law wore the same Victoria Beckham pyjama suit recently. Beckham posted the below picture, which shows Turner in the fabulous ivory printed pyjama set, and then when you toggle across to the next photo, you also get to see Chopra-Jonas having a turn.

“@sophiet and @priyankachopra in my favourite pyjama set from #VBPreAW19 x VB,” wrote Beckham on Instagram, even adding the appropriate hashtag – #jsisters.

The pyjama set is certainly fabulous, featuring a loose trouser and matching, billowy shirt, printed with a simple gold polka dot design. As the sisters proved, the suit is the perfect go-anywhere outfit, with Turner, 23, wearing it to a Roc Nation brunch event, and Chopra-Jonas, 37, dressing it down, untucked, for the street. As Beckham puts it, the suit is “perfect for the plane, the party and the bedroom.”

We’d love to think the pair, who have become good friends since wedding a Jonas brother each, are now also sharing wardrobes. Chopra-Jonas married Nick Jonas, 26, in a multi-event wedding back in December 2018; Turner wed Joe, 29, in a Las Vegas elopement in May and then again this month in France. 

As for the pyjama set, the pieces are from the Victoria Beckham pre-fall 2019 collection and we have to admit, the “J sisters” certainly have us adding the items to our wish-lists. Add to that Beckham, who looks incredible in her own design, and also Vogue Australia’s own August 2019 cover star, Elle Macpherson, who happens to be wearing the very same suit in our shoot (below), and you’ve got yourself a verifiable must-have look.

It’s a widely known fact that Australians take their health and fitness seriously. You need only take a stroll down Bondi Beach to witness the buff and bronzed bodies attending yoga, Pilates, bootcamp, CrossFit, F45, and… you get the picture. Of course, that’s only a mere snapshot of fitness-obsessed Australia as a whole – now home to more beautiful yoga studios than we dare to count, we think Aussies are leading the charge when it comes to innovative design and serene spaces that look as good as they make you feel. Case in point: in the last 12 months alone a whole crop of uber-polished fitness and wellness centres have popped up in Sydney and Melbourne. With wellness, balance and a beautifully styled interior in mind, these four spaces might just be the future of fitness Down Under.

The Well
Bondi’s answer to a holistic health centre boasts a range of fitness classes, from reformer Pilates, Barre and boxing to personal training and yoga; as well as mind and body therapies like acupuncture, nutrition, massage and psychology. And when you’re finished working up a sweat, you can relax in the on-site café serving delicious, seasonal and plant-based food. With chic, minimalist interiors and a spot facing Sydney’s most famous shoreline, The Well is your one-stop fitness shop.

Warrior One
Conceived by interior design practice Golden, this sleek and tranquil space houses two yoga rooms, a change room/bathroom and, later this year, its own café. Sticking to an interior scheme of white concrete walls, walnut-coloured cabinetry, exposed raw timber beams and pink marble in the bathroom; it also boasts a custom counter by local Melbourne stonemason Den Holm. Set up to complement its light-filled sister studio in Brighton, Warrior One’s chic interior has an immediately zen effect – which is all you could you ask for, really.

Paramount Recreation Club
Housed on the rooftop of the seriously cool Surry Hills stay Paramount House Hotel, this light and airy fitness centre is awash with stark white, grey and powdery blue tones. Framed by potted plants and a cacti-filled garden, there’s plenty of sunny outdoor space at this newly opened gym and recreation centre. With classes built around three fitness pillars of movement, strength and conditioning, this personalised, boutique approach is rolled out across the entire business.

La Porte Wellness
Modelled after its much admired, aesthetically pleasing shared work spaces in Sydney’s Rosebery, La Porte Wellness is the latest on-brand addition to the group. Offering Pilates, yoga, meditation, nutrition and an infrared sauna, La Porte Wellness’ space is rendered in calming shades of white and timber, offset by wicker furniture, fiddle leaf fig plants and brass bathroom fittings. Abiding by the less is more approach, we can only assume the months-old centre will prove as popular as its studios, function space and office suites.

BodyMindLife, Kirrawee
With fitness studios located in Surry Hills, Bondi Beach, Potts Point and Redfern already, BodyMindLife has taken a well-earned break from servicing Sydney’s inner-city suburbs by opening a new studio in Kirrawee. The new Sutherland Shire location brings you the same combination of yoga, Pilates, meditation and infrared sauna therapy to choose from, with light-filled studios rendered in calming shades of white, with brushed concrete and raw timber floors. Catering to all your health and wellness needs, the Kirrawee space offers 75 yoga, reformer Pilates and meditation classes each week.

Shelter, Double Bay
“Feels like a spa, works like a gym” is the ethos behind this luxury wellness space in upscale Double Bay. From the minute you step through the designer door into the soothing light-filled juicery at the front of gym, it feels like you have, indeed, escaped into a five-star health retreat. Offering a slew of wellness options including both infrared and traditional saunas, an ice bath, a juicery and of course, a spin studio to work up a sweat in, it really delivers on all health fronts. 

The space was transformed by Anna Trefely from Esoteriko and is a pleasure for the eyes and senses thanks to the natural Scandinavian-style colour palette, considered layout and inclusion of native Australian plants within the space.

A boxing studio is slated to be in the works, due to open in August 2019, providing yet another compelling reason to make Shelter your regular workout go-to.

One of the great American cities, San Diego is famous for abundant Southern California sunshine, upbeat outdoor living and dining, and of course, the Oscar-winning fighter pilot film, Top Gun (which has a sequel coming in 2020).

Home to one of America’s largest military bases, San Diego’s history and growth is tied to the men and women in uniform who call the city home. In the 1920’s, a grand Italian Renaissance-inspired building at 500 West Broadway (pictured below) became the Army-Navy YMCA (Young Men’s Christian Association); it was a place where visiting servicemen could stay and where anyone in the army or navy could come to play sport and train. It became an much-loved destination for servicemen, with eight million visitors annually during its heyday. In 2007, the building was officially registered as a Historic Place by the U.S. Department of the Interior National Park Service.

The ornate original entrance to the former YMCA has been meticulously restored.

Today, the beautiful building at 500 West Broadway serves a different purpose. The basketball court has been transformed into a soaring ballroom. The pool has become an event space, with carpet that mimics the flow of water (in a nod to its past). The landmark YMCA in downtown San Diego is now The Guild Hotel, luxuriously reimagined by designer and hospitality-space-whisperer, Sormeh Rienne.

Mirrors in the restaurant mimic the building’s heritage windows.

The Guild Hotel is home to a restaurant that is a destination in itself – Luca serves Mediterranean-inspired dishes in an al fresco setting, surrounded by the city skyline. Hotel guests and San Diego locals are all welcome to enjoy fresh breakfasts, lunches and dinners dished up by executive chef, Justin Vaiciunas.

Monochrome umbrellas and potted palms add a playful touch to the al fresco space.

Bedrooms at The Guild are refined and minimalist with high ceilings and lots of natural light. Each room displays a unique piece of local art that helps tell the story of the building.

Bedrooms feature Stearns & Foster beds, Garnier-Thiebaut linens and leather headboards.

“San Diego has a unique, rich history and The Guild personifies that heritage with iconic spaces that are unlike any other hotel in the city,” says Rick Mansur, president and CEO of Azul Hospitality Group (The Guild’s parent company).

The Guild Bar has a Brazilian leathered quartzite counter and backbar with custom millwork detailing.

There’s no doubt about it – The Guild Hotel is the perfect place to relax with friends, food and a few of your favourite Top Gun quotes.

The lobby features a herringbone floor and hand-carved burgundy wood desk.

The so-called royal Fab Four comprising brothers Prince William and Prince Harry and their wives, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, respectively are officially now two separate royal households.

Earlier this year it was announced that the royal brothers and their wives would be splitting their households after having shared and worked together within one household and on a joint charity, the Royal Foundation, previously. The household split involved every aspect including separating their social media accounts — Prince Harry and Meghan Markle no longer fall under the Kensington Palace social media umbrella having launched their own Instagram handle @sussexroyal — their staff and also their charitable organisation.

This split was speculated by some royal watchers as resulting from an issue between the brothers or even between the two duchesses, but as Prince William will be king one day and with both families having their own charity agendas the split appears to be the most sensible way to run a modern monarchy. It’s worth noting that the foursome have spent considerable time together recently enjoying days out at the polo and at Wimbledon, evidence that royal business is business and when it comes to family, they’re very close-knit.

According to People, when the palace issued a statement in June about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle leaving the Royal Foundation to set up their own organisation the statement made a point of noting that it was for the reasons above that the split was occurring, stating that the new royal structure would “best complement the work and responsibilities of Their Royal Highnesses as they prepare for their future roles, and to better align their charitable activity with their new households.”

Overnight details have emerged as to what Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s new charity organisation will be, cementing the final element of the royal household split.

Royal reporter Emily Andrews posted a certificate of incorporation for the new charity to her Twitter account, which revealed the official name of the new charity — Sussex Royal The Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex — along with other information about the charity including who the directors would be.

According to Andrews’s post, the four directors of “Sussex Royal” as the organisation is being called, will be Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, PR Sara Latham and Natalie Campbell, a former staffer at the Royal Foundation. 

Town & Country reports a palace source shared how excited the couple are about launching their own organisation with royal reporter Omid Scobie and the opportunity it presents to pursue their own works. “Their [Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s] operating style is very different to the Cambridges and so having their own space to think as big as they like, working on a global scale, is perfect for them.”

It’s not known as yet exactly which projects and causes the new foundation will take on but it’s expected to launch later this year. In the meantime, the couple will reportedly continue to work with Kate Middleton and Prince William on a number of joint initiatives, such as their mental health program, Heads Together.
