Fashion commentator Kate Waterhouse is

the first to admit she’s found a rather novel

application for the high-tech camera on her

Huawei P30 Pro phone. “I use it as a handheld

mirror—the camera’s so good I flip it to fix my

make-up at parties,” says the TV presenter, who

hails from Australian horseracing’s ‘first family’

and is a regular fixture on Sydney’s party scene.

Sleek as the smartphone’s newest version

looks, Waterhouse was won over by more than

aesthetics. Its award-winning Leica quad camera

“is so important, not only for my work capturing

content at runway shows, races and events, but

also to capture my family moments,” she says.

“My girls are three and five, and I love being able

to capture amazing moments with them on

the go—from beautiful portraits, to landscape

images and action shots. You really learn so

much about what it can do the more you use it:

from the zoom setting to the portrait setting.

The photos I get blow my mind.”

This limited-edition Misty Lavender P30 Pro

(pictured) is a party accessory in its own right,

too: each of the almost 1,000 devices released

in Australia comes with a white-to-pink-hued

case embellished in Swarovski Element crystals.

Prefer to step out sans bling? The matt surface

is fingerprint-resistant, meaning a flawless finish

when you point its back to friends as you snap.

Granted, pink tones are not for everyone,

so Huawei has created three more tempting

P30 Pro finishes: chic Black, elegant Aurora

(a rich blue-green), and a whimsical salt-flat-

inspired finish called Breathing Crystal that’s

a guaranteed conversation starter.

Your perfect partner this

cocktail season is chic,

clever and the prettiest

shade of lavender pink
