Weekend Sunrise host’s pup-tailored property hits the market

<p>Channel 7 Weekend <em>Sunrise</em> host Matt Doran has put his apartment on the market, in the exclusive eastern Sydney suburb of Bellevue Hill.</p> <p>Doran plans to take advantage of the recovery in the cramped winter property market as he failed to sell the two-bedroom apartment in mid-2021.</p> <p>It has a June 24 auction guide of $1.8 million through BresicWhitney agents Maclay Longhurst and Zakir Abdallaoui.</p> <p>After securing the Tresscourt apartment from <em>Sky News</em> presenter Laura Jayes and her husband, former Seven reporter Alex Hart, for $1.385 million in 2017, Doran commissioned a complete remodel by Sydney designer Dylan Farrell.</p> <p>Doran began his “absolute passion project” with art tailored to the home by artist Vicki Lee.</p> <p>“It’s honestly going to be tough to part with this place,” Doran told The Sell.</p> <p>Doran and his wife, Weekend Today executive producer Kendall Bora are yet to purchase.</p> <p>“I bought it before I met Kendall after I moved back from LA. “The redesign was a big job; the lights and doors and windows custom-made … the centrepiece is a sliding steel door to the loungeroom, which needed 12 people to carry up and install.</p> <p>“We also extended the outdoor space, almost entirely to satisfy the demands of the galaxy’s most spoilt and demanding and glorious Italian greyhound, Murphy.”</p> <p>Per PopTrack, the median unit price in Bellevue Hill is $1.357,500, dipping 9.5 per cent over the past year.</p> <p>It is believed that Murphy will have the final say in their next acquisition.</p> <p>Doran and Bora will hold onto the Sunny Corner Cottage, a retreat accessed by boat and Berowra Waters and where they tied the knot in July 2021.</p> <p>The pair paid $1.75 million in 2021 for the 1905 waterfront property and had designer Tasmin Johnson work on its redesign into a luxury private holiday rental and event space.</p> <p><em>Image credit: Instagram / Realestate.com.au</em></p>

Melania Trump looks chic in tailored suit

<p>Melania Trump is no stranger to being criticised for her fashion choices. She’s <a href="http://www.oversixty.com.au/travel/travel-insurance/2017/08/melania-trump-causes-stir-with-her-outfit-when-visiting-storm-ravaged-texas/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">caused a stir for wearing heels</span></strong></a> while visiting storm-ravaged Texas, she’s been <a href="/lifestyle/beauty-style/2017/09/melania-trump-mocked-online-while-speaking-out-about-bullying/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">laughed at for her oversized pink dress</span></strong></a> at a UN luncheon and, most recently, <a href="/lifestyle/beauty-style/2017/10/melania-trump-mocked-yet-again-for-her-outfit-choice/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">mocked for her outfit</span></strong></a> on a visit to hurricane-devastated Puerto Rico. But her latest is being talked about for all the right reasons.</p> <p>Welcoming Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife Sophie, the First Lady opted for an menswear-inspired grey pinstripe suit with an undone black tie, and we think it’s one of her best looks yet.</p> <p><img width="500" height="750" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/44237/59debc031ffb3_gettyimages_860244860_59debbd6cdd62_500x750.jpg" alt="59debc 031ffb 3_gettyimages _860244860_59debbd 6cdd 62 (1)" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"/></p> <p>She’s certainly challenging the stereotypical First Lady look, and it looks like it might be paying off! We’re definitely getting some <em>Annie Hall</em> vibes from this outfit.</p> <p>Do you like her new look? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.</p> <p> </p>
