hoebe Tonkin is in need of a schnitzel. The 28-year-old actress has just arrived in Hamburg, Germany, and she is itching to try some local delicacies.”I haven’t had any super traditional German food yet, but I’m excited to try something they have called gluehwein, which I guess is a mulled wine?”
This is her first time in Germany. “It is beautiful here,” says the Australia native. “I didn’t really know much about it before I got here, and it was a really pleasant surprise. It is gorgeous.”
And lack of schnitzel be damned (for now, at least), she is doing her best to take in the local attractions. So far, she’s hit the Christmas market, gone on a tour of the Hamburg School of Ballet, and visited the famed Miniatur Wunderland, a museum of, well, miniature things.
“I was very surprised at how impressive it was. It is so detailed,” she says. ”It is really quite amazing. Basically, you walk through giant rooms and it is really detailed, tiny replicas of cities and historical events. You could just stare at something for fifteen minutes and you are still going to miss little details.”

And all of this one some very extreme jetlag; very early on Saturday morning, Tonkin had filmed her final scene for The Originals, The CW’s successful spinoff of The Vampire Diaries, which she has starred on since 2013. “It was a very emotional goodbye,” she says. “I don’t think I’ve totally digested it. It has been a really big opportunity for me, and I am so grateful for the last five years, but also really excited to see what is next. I think I’d like to take a little break, but also start to work on some different material or different type of role. I was fortunate enough to do this miniseries in Australia, which gave me the bug again to find smaller, interesting, edgier pieces.”

But first, the reason she’s in Hamburg in the first place: Chanel’s Métiers d’Art show.
The Metiers d’Art show marks Tonkin’s third Chanel show, her first, ironically being a recreation of a Salzburg-themed show held in New York. “It was obviously gorgeous,” she recalls. So gorgeous, in fact, that she completely missed a rare front row appearance by none other than Beyoncé. “I think I was so awestruck by everything around me —Pharrell and Cara Delevingne performed, and it was a very exciting moment for me—that she very well was there and I was just caught up in all the things that were happening.”

Tonkin likens attending a Chanel show to a “funny summer camp.” “You end up being in different countries around the world and seeing the same people,” she says. “Stella Maxwell is a good friend of mine, though she’s normally walking the show. There’s actually been a couple of times where I’ve been lent samples and seen her name in the tag. I always say it is a good luck charm if Stella has worn the dress already on the catwalk.”
For today’s event, Tonkin selects a tea-length black dress with silver embroidery, after a serious debate over a shorter, spanglier number. “I do like to keep options, but when both options are so good, it is not such an easy decision.” To match the dress, she styles her chin-length hair in loves waves, with a nude lip and subtle smoky eye. “I like to play music, and like to do a mask or use some funny gadgets,” Tonkin explains.

She’s all set — just no Gluehwein until the afterparty. “I try to keep the wine ’til afterwards, because then I will just end up sitting and chatting and listening to music for way too long and miss my car,” she explains.
And with that, auf wiedersehen.

We stand together for diversity, respect and acceptance.

Starting from the 12th of September, and running all the way to the 7th of November, Australia is conducting one of the most important, and most highly-contested votes in its history: a postal vote to legalise same-sex marriage.

After a frustrating back-and-forth regarding plebiscites and impassioned floor speeches, Australian’s government decided that a postal survey—a non-compulsory, mail-in vote—would decide whether or not a private member’s bill would be introduced on the topic (which would legalise same-sex marriage, if passed, which it is expected to). The ballots have been mailed out, and every registered Aussie is being asked the very same question, one at a time, “Should the law be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry?”

But despite the simplicity of the question, and the same simplicity in your choice of answers—“Yes,” or “No”—the vote isn’t so straightforward as we’d hoped it would be.

In between a vexing response from the ‘Vote No’ crowd, which has since spouted several public disavowals of the cause—skywriting ‘Vote NO’ across Sydney’s skyline recently might have been the most unabashed—and the fact that the vote itself is non-compulsory and not promising of any fines or reprimands like a state or federal election, and the end result is certainly not as promising as it could have been.

But luckily, for every ‘Vote No,’ voice there is an equal, and more hopeful, ‘Vote YES!’ Sydney’s Martin Place lit up with rainbow banners, and a heartening bulk of Australia’s biggest companies and brands have thrown their support behind marriage equality.

ELLE Australia is there alongside them. To show our support for same-sex marriage, we’ve asked some of Australia’s best and brightest to join in and encourage every voter to vote yes! For this special project, we tapped six incredible artists, including Luke Arnold, Ollie Henderson, Miranda Skoczek, Kitty Callaghan, Just Sayin’ Girl and Bassike to design their own slogan on white t-shirt. We then called upon some ELLE friends, including Phoebe Tonkin, Teresa Palmer, and Zoë Foster Blake (and more), to be photographed in the tees. These portraits are appearing in our October issue, on stands Monday.

And you, too, can get involved. Head over to our Instagram (make sure you’re following us), re-post one of the shots, tag it #ELLEisforLove, tell us why you’re voting, and you can go in the running to win one of the tees! Head over here for all the details, including terms and conditions.

Remember, guys, this is a hugely important vote, with wide-reaching consequences that will affect millions of Australians. Now’s the time to get involved and get it right.

Vote, vote, vote! Vote YES!
