In a development that has sent both the celebrity beauty world and the Home and Away fandom into a frenzy, PR powerhouse Roxy Jacenko has dropped a bombshell confession

about her admiration—borderline envy—for former Home and Away star Pia Whitesell. What began as a simple Instagram comment has spiraled into a full-blown conversation about beauty,

aging, wellness obsession, and the impossible standards placed on Australia’s most glamorous women.

Pia Whitesell, 42, known for her stunning presence and beloved turn on Home and Away, set social media ablaze earlier this week when she uploaded a striking carousel of behind-the-scenes images from her preparation for the Marie Claire Women of the Year Awards. The event, which took place on November 20, celebrated trailblazing figures across industries, and Pia’s presence was nothing short of show-stopping.

In the series of images, Pia is seen glowing with effortless radiance, using an array of Olay skincare products—the brand she currently represents as an ambassador. The post included candid moments, high-fashion poses, and a close-up selfie that highlighted her luminous complexion, prompting fans and influencers alike to react in awe.

“Nothing makes me happier than being home in Australia, spending time celebrating inspiring women,” Pia wrote in her caption, adding, “Getting ready with all Olay for the Marie Claire Women of the Year Awards.”

Her post immediately drew praise, but it was Roxy Jacenko’s comment that turned all eyes toward the PR mogul.

Tagging her friend, fashion tastemaker Chris Kouts, Roxy wrote:

“I say we lather it, drink it, and pray to wake up looking like Pia.”

The remark—which was equal parts hilarious, confessional, and revealing—took off instantly. Followers, fellow influencers, and entertainment reporters began dissecting the comment, noting how rare it is for a powerful woman like Roxy to make such a vulnerable, effusive admission publicly.

Chris responded with a cheeky yet heartfelt reply:

“Honey, she is one in a million. Roxy is just as enviably ageless.”

But the exchange did more than entertain. It raised questions about the pressures of public appearance—and the extraordinary measures celebrities undertake to maintain red-carpet readiness.

THE EXTREME REGIMEN BEHIND ROXY’S OWN LOOK

Roxy, 45, is no stranger to scrutiny or high standards, and she recently gave Daily Mail Australia an exclusive look into the intense preparation behind her now-viral, provocative photoshoot in which she posed drenched in oil—an image that showcased her newly sculpted, ultra-trim frame.

The PR queen revealed she currently weighs 46 kilograms, a result of a wellness overhaul she began last year. But the secret behind her slim silhouette is a strict, highly structured daily routine that borders on monastic.

According to Roxy, her day begins with two skim piccolo coffees before 11 a.m. She then eats a peeled grapefruit, followed by a fresh green juice. The remainder of the day is largely spent fasting until dinner at 6 p.m.

If hunger strikes in between, Roxy allows herself a banana and two slices of Vegemite toast—a combination she insists keeps her grounded without derailing her discipline.

Dinner is a consistent ritual: chicken and Greek salad, followed by one indulgence she refuses to give up—
a fun-sized packet of M&Ms every single night.

“I’ve never believed in completely depriving myself,” she said. “Discipline works, but so does joy.”

HER WORKOUT OF CHOICE? WALKING—BUT WITH INTENTION

Unlike many celebrities who swear by punishing gym sessions or high-intensity interval training, Roxy sticks to a surprisingly modest routine: 45 minutes of brisk walking, Monday through Friday. It’s simple, but she describes it as critical to maintaining both her mental and physical balance.

But her fitness regime is only the beginning. For the past week, Roxy has also committed herself to an accelerated wellness schedule at Reset Studio in Double Bay, incorporating two advanced treatments: contrast therapy and red light therapy.

CONTRAST THERAPY: THE INDUSTRY’S LATEST ELITE OBSESSION

Reset Studio describes contrast therapy as a curated blend of cedar sauna, ice bath, and a vitamin C-infused shower, all conducted within a private suite designed for peak physical restoration.

The goal? Shock the system—including skin, muscles, and circulation—by cycling between extreme heat and extreme cold, stimulating rejuvenation and deep recovery.

Many elite athletes swear by it. Now, celebrities and influencers have followed suit.

RED LIGHT THERAPY: THE BEAUTY SECRET EVERY STAR SWEARS BY

Roxy also reported undergoing three sessions of red light therapy in just one week. This treatment, favored by stars across Hollywood, uses low-wavelength red light to boost collagen production, reduce inflammation, improve skin texture, and accelerate muscle repair.

“It’s like waking up the body’s cells,” Roxy said. “My skin feels brighter, and my energy feels renewed.”

THE CELEBRITY DYNAMIC: ROXY & PIA’S GLOW-UP SISTERHOOD

While both women are revered for their glamorous image, what fans adore most is the mutual respect and effortless camaraderie between them. Roxy’s playful jealousy and Pia’s graciousness exemplify a refreshing honesty in an industry often driven by competition.

Inside sources say the two women have bonded over motherhood, wellness, brand endorsements, and the pressures of maintaining public appearances—making Roxy’s online confession both relatable and telling.

THE VERDICT: A BEAUTY BOMBSHELL WITH REAL HUMANITY

Roxy Jacenko’s candid, humorous confession about wanting Pia Whitesell’s incredible skin and ageless glow has evolved into something more than just a viral Instagram moment. It has sparked conversations about authenticity in beauty, the lengths celebrities go to maintain physical perfection, and the importance of owning one’s vulnerabilities—even at the top of the influencer food chain.

Pia remains an icon of effortless glamour. Roxy continues to redefine ambition and discipline. Together, their dynamic has become a captivating snapshot of modern celebrity culture—equal parts shocking, aspirational, and undeniably human.
