“Sam and I try to keep our lives as normal as we can”
“My mum instilled in me that it’s important to maintain a little bit of mystery”
In the opulent lobby of an exclusive New York hotel, an esteemed import has gone missing. After thumbing anxiously through guest records, concerned staff discover the “traveller” taking refuge inside a private waiting room. The VIP guest in question was not marie claire’s celebrated cover star Lara Worthington, but rather the dazzling Dior dress for her cover shoot. Such is the pulling power of Australia’s fashion darling, she can summon a designer dress to New York from Paris via Sydney.
With the crisis of the missing gown averted, the cover shoot on Long Island goes press tour, Lara has been cementing her fashion icon status and is well and truly in with the cool crowd. “I had dinner with Max on the weekend,” she flippantly says of Ferragamo’s new 27-year-old creative director, Maximilian Davis. “He’s so fresh and directional and I love his use of colour. I always enjoy wearing his designs; they feel like they complement my personality.”
