From Lara With Love
ELLE Australia|August 2017

Model, mogul, mother and wife: Lara Worthington has crammed a lot into her 30 years. As she lies in the languid shadows of Christian Dior’s Château de la Colle Noire, she reflects on her milestone birthday, in her own words 

From Lara With Love

I spent my recent 30th birthday at the Blue Lagoon in Iceland. It was a surprise trip – Sam [Worthington, Lara’s husband] had arranged for my mum to look after the kids. I’ve wanted to do the spa experience there for a long time so it was super sweet of him. From there we did four cities in four days, going to four concerts. We flew to Ireland and saw Radiohead, to Brussels the next morning for Coldplay, and then to London where he took me to Royal Ascot – because he knows I like getting dressed up – and Ed Sheeran that night. The last concert was U2 in Toronto. At the end of each day I would get a T-shirt revealing the band I was seeing the next night. It was crazy but so much fun. It took him six months to organise. No-one’s ever done anything that extreme for me.

Big, milestone birthdays like that make you look back and think about where you are and what you’ve done. I’m so proud to have had two sons [Rocket and Racer] before I turned 30 – that’s definitely the highlight so far. I always knew I wanted children, but I’m not really big on planning. I tend to just go with the flow and I think that comes back to my roots, growing up by the beach. My dad was a surfer and a landscaper; he worked outdoors for a living and I was always surrounded by that kind of carefree lifestyle. He and my mum really drummed into me that you need to just live how you want to live and do what you want to do and don’t worry about anything. If you’re not happy, just change it.
