Welcome

Welcome to the first edition of Gold Coast Panache magazine for 2024!

While we may be leaving the summer months behind us and beginning the autumn season, it certainly hasn’t felt it of late. The weather has still been stifling hot, but not as hot as this latest edition of Gold Coast Panache!

We have a fantastic issue for you this season. Our amazing cover girl is none other than Gold Coast golden girl Margot Robbie, who was back here on the coast recently attending the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) Awards at HOTA where she received the Best Lead Actress Award and the Trailblazer Awardboth amazing praise for her work this year in the juggernaut Barbie movie. You can read all about this homegrown hero in our cover story on page 16.

As always we have all the regular features you know and love, including our icon feature where we pay homage to Gold Coast legend Roma Blair.

We have all the latest fashion for you and him, along with activewear, beauty and home features that will have you looking good and feeling good all season.

For those of you with building projects on the horizon you can’t miss our Wycon Homes renovation feature where we explore custom and project builders and the pros and cons each can bring to your home project.

There are also some great recipes to get you into the kitchen as the weather turns cooler; and the giveaways in this edition will have both you and your best four legged friend looking and feeling good.

It has been a busy season on the social scene, so flip to the back to see if you were snapped at some of the best events on the Gold Coast and Brisbane! Our wedding feature is also back, giving you a sneak peak inside all the glamour of our gorgeous Gold Coast weddings.

I hope you enjoy this edition of Gold Coast Panache magazine as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you!
