MOST BEAUTIFUL CASTS

A REALITY COMPETITION, A SCI-FI THRILLER AND A HOT TEEN DRAMA FEATURE GAZE-WORTHY STARS

The Voice SIGHTS AND SOUNDS

When red chairs start swivelling in April on Season 7 of Nine’s talent showcase, the coaches—from left, soul sensation Kelly Rowland, 37; DNCE’S Joe Jonas, 28, last season’s champ Delta Goodrem, 33, and pop provocateur Boy George, 56—will be eager to face the music with a fresh perspective. “There is obvious beauty, and then there is beauty of personality or talent,” George tells WHO. “People can be beautiful for all sorts of reasons. When I was young, my view of beauty was very limited, but now it’s much broader.” Agrees Rowland, “Beauty to me is honesty and authenticity—being authentically you.”

While each has a different activity they enjoy for spiritual nourishment—“having quiet time amongst trees or looking at the ocean is very important to me,” says Goodrem—their daily beauty routines are grounded in practicality. Rowland and Goodrem never go to bed with makeup on and try to stay hydrated. Jonas indulges his love for boxing to stay fit, “something that is actually fun and doesn’t feel like you are stuck in a gym,” he says. And George insists, “Food is everything! Obviously not drinking alcohol is much better for the skin and lots of green vegetables are essential.”

In the violent, dystopian future of the cyberpunk Netflix series, Swedish-american actor Joel Kinnaman, 38 (left), and former Neighbours star Dichen Lachman, 36, play warring siblings whose memories have been attached to new (very exquisite) human forms called “sleeves.” The term “works well because in this world, bodies are something you wear,” Lachman explains to WHO. “Your body is not who you are.”

Yet when Lachman sees herself in the mirror, she knows she is the culmination of the people closest to her, “my dad’s ears, my mum’s eyes and so on,” she says, though she adds if she could alter one thing, it would be her nose, which she broke doing stunts. “I’d love to be able to breathe out of both nostrils again,” she says with a laugh, “but changing things too much, I feel, can be a slippery slope.”

Suicide Squad star Kinnaman spent half a year training three to five hours a day to get in shape for his musclefocused role. “I’m not complaining in any way,” he told WWD. “Honestly, I’m so thrilled this is my life. “Adds Lachman, “I think talent and passion make people beautiful, and Joel was amazing, dedicated, fierce and strong.”
