Jacket. Seems a basic
wardrobe staple, eh? Not
so for newsreader Julie
Snook, who saw the humble
garment elevate her to pop
culture infamy after she was
told to wear one during a
live-cross. After the footage
leaked she handled the
fallout with grace, cementing
her place on this list.SOPHIE MONK

TH E BACHELORETTE S TA R
Sophie has been a long-
standing veteran of the
Australian entertainment
industry for over 17 years
and can now add queen of
roses to her résumé as this
year’s Bachelorette! Her fun-
loving nature and self-
deprecating humour will no
doubt win over many hearts.BELLA FRIZZA
SEA FM RADIO HOST
You may know her best from
her stint on Married at First
Sight, but she was loved long
before then by her loyal
listeners on the Gold Coast.
The reality show favourite

fearless on air – no topic is
off limits. Basically, she’s a
self-confessed Cosmo girl
through and through.TARA RUSHTON
