Pip Edwards' brush with royalty! Fashion designer sits next to Count Nikolai of Monpezat at Carla Zampatti runway show for Australian Fashion Week - but turns her nose up around the MAFS stars
And the fashion designer had a brush with royalty at the fashion event as she sat near Queen Mary 's nephew Count Nikolai of Denmark.
The 45-year-old was seen chatting to her best mate Jackie O Henderson while sitting just two seats away from Nikolai, 25.
Nikolai, who has launched a modelling career since losing his title in 2022, sat front row at the Carla Zampatti show on day one of the event.
Alongside him was his girlfriend Benedikte Thoustrup, with the pair looking happy together after fielding split rumours late last year.
Pip flaunted her fit figure in a backless halter top that showed off lots of skin as she chatted to guests while seated in the front row.
However the socialite didn't appear to be impressed by the Married At First Sight stars attending the fashion event.
Pip looked the other way as she walked past Adrian Araouzou and Tony Mojanovski after arriving to the show.
She carried a black and white fur jacket as she rushed past the reality stars.
The designer wore her hair in beachy waves and chose a bronzed makeup palette with a nude lipstick.
Meanwhile, Nikolai looked dapper at the event in a navy blue suit paired with a light blue dress shirt and dark brown tie.
His girlfriend Benedikte stunned in a strapless, black peplum dress in a maxi length, along with camel toned heels.
The 24-year-old chose a natural, barely there makeup look and wore her caramel locks down in waves.
Earlier, the Danish It-girl had arrived wearing a beige trench coat that perfectly matched her shoes.
The couple looked relaxed and happy as they sat together watching the show, and exchanged loving looks while posing together before the runway show.
Late last year, the pair were rumoured to have split after Nikolai and Benedikte had not shared to social media any photos of them together for months.
Benedikte, who is the founder of Danish hair beauty company BénéSoie, had posted several glamorous modelling shots to Instagram - and Nikolai had been absent from all of them.
However, it was clear all was well as the genetically blessed couple cuddled up at hottest event on the Aussie fashion calendar.

Ivanka Trump has a new lookalike in the family.. and it isn't daughter Arabella
Donald Trump 's granddaughter, Kai, seems to be taking style notes from her aunt, Ivanka, channeling the former presidential advisor's fashion sense in multiple social media posts. Kai was thrust into the public spotlight last July when she spoke at the Republican National Convention to support her grandfather's presidential run. Since then, she has committed to the University of Miami as a recruit for their Division golf team. The 18-year-old golfer and influencer seems to be following in Ivanka's footsteps. Kai this week starred in an ad for Accelerator Active Energy, teasing her grandfather. In the ad Kai is seen playing golf then making her way to the cart where a can of Diet Coke - President Trump's go-to drink - and a can of the energy drink sit. 'Sorry, Grandpa,' Kai Trump said while choosing to drink the Accelerator Active Energy drink. Ivanka also stepped into the spotlight at a young age, hosting the Miss Teen USA pageant as a teenager and later founding a jewelry line. Kai resembled her aunt Ivanka while posing in a white dress on the beach in the Bahamas And Kai also seems to be following her aunt in the style stakes. In June, Kai posted a photo of herself in a white dress on vacation in the Bahamas. Ivanka wore a similar boho chic dress in 2023 while traveling in Greece. The two are also seen posing in similar sleek black outfits in front of the New York City skyline on their Instagrams. Ivanka shared a carousel of photos on top of a luxury Manhattan balcony, with the caption, 'Empire state of mind.' For her eighteenth birthday on May 12, Kai posted a photo set celebrating her 'Dancing Queen year', captioned, '17, you taught me a lot about life. 18, I hope you teach me a lot more.' The first photo of the series featured Kai on top of a New York City balcony in a black strapless dress. The two Trump ladies also share fitness in common, as Ivanka has consistently shared her workout routines and Kai is set to become a Division I athlete. In February, Ivanka showed off her physique in blue biker shorts and a white sports bra, telling her followers, 'Sticking to New Year's resolutions isn't easy - only 23 percent of people make it past the first week. '[I've fallen into that category many, many times!] But every day is a new opportunity to show up and stay committed.' Kai and Ivanka were similarly styled for two separate inauguration events Kai shared a behind-the-scenes look into her lifestyle in June, which included a photo of herself in a similar outfit getting her hair done, her on the golf course, and a photoshoot where she's wrapped in an American flag. The two both sported long sparkly gowns for the president's inauguration events in January. In more casual attire, Ivanka and Kai both shared photos sporting Western wear. Kai shared an outfit at a barbecue joint in jeans and an American flag cowgirl hat. Ivanka is also known to sport an occasional country-inspired outfit, sharing a mirror selfie in 2023 that featured a bold turquoise-encrusted belt. In mid-July, Ivanka posted a photo set of her trip to Wyoming, where she sported white cowgirl boots and a bright printed skirt. The outfits even earned a stamp of approval from country singer Jewel, who commented, 'And outfit's on point!' Last month Kai revealed what it is really like being the president's granddaughter. She appeared on 'Fox & Friends' and spoke about the 'special bond' that she shares with her grandfather. In particular, Kai spoke about how he pushed her to be a better golfer. 'He taught me to just keep on working at it, and, honestly, I've gotten a lot better in past years with golf, but, he really just [taught me to keep] trying to keep on fighting and keep on practicing and whatnot,' she told the program. 'And I love playing golf… it's something that we share, a special bond together.' She also spoke about how difficult it is to have such famous relatives. 'I mean, it's a lot to handle sometimes with the public eye and also being a high school student and just like a normal kid,' she said. 'But honestly I wouldn't trade it for anything. I'm very lucky and grateful for the opportunity I have to meet all these people and meet world leaders. 'I'm very thankful and just lucky to have this opportunity.'

Gold Logie winner Hamish Blake fined $400 in shock airport incident
Two-time Gold Logie winner Hamish Blake recently found himself in an unexpected predicament during a trip to New Zealand, where a routine airport inspection turned into a costly affair. The Lego Masters Australia host, 43, revealed on the Hamish and Andy podcast that he was halted at customs when a suspicious item was detected in his backpack. Hamish recounted the perplexing moment his bag was singled out by an officer. 'My backpack has a lot of compartments – it's actually the world's best backpack,' Hamish joked. 'I'm like, "Listen, you might not be familiar with this particular backpack, where is it? How can I help you? Can I find this thing for you?" He goes, "no, I'll need to do it".' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. To his bemusement, the officer retrieved a small red apple hidden under an emergency rain jacket in the front pouch of his bag. 'Is this yours?' the officer asked, to which Hamish said he humorously responded, 'I've never seen that apple before in my life.' Despite the innocent nature of the mishap, he was slapped with a hefty $400 fine by Biosecurity New Zealand. The comedian speculated the apple may have inadvertently found its way into his bag during a previous trip to South Africa. Reflecting on the incident, he shared his disbelief at the consequences of what he dubbed an 'accidental apple mishap.' Despite the fine and the incident now on his record, Hamish maintained his trademark humour, joking about the apple's international journey and its unintended role as a gift to the people of NZ. Hamish has been nominated for a Gold Logie this year for his presenting work on Lego Masters Australia. It comes after a surprise frontrunner emerged in the race to take out the coveted Gold Logie at this year's TV WEEK Logie Awards. Beloved Home and Away star Lynne McGranger, 72, is now the clear favourite to win Australian television's top prize, after a wave of public support and sentimental backing for her 33-year run as Irene Roberts on the long-running soap. According to betting giant Sportsbet, McGranger has stormed into the lead with odds of just $1.37 – far ahead of her nearest rivals. She's now well ahead of A Current Affair's Ally Langdon ($5.00), LEGO Masters host Hamish Blake ($8.50), ABC presenter Lisa Millar ($10.00), and comedian Julia Morris ($11.00). Meanwhile, MasterChef Australia star Poh Ling Yeow sits at $13.00, while 2023 Gold Logie winner Sonia Kruger has blown out to $17.00. The veteran actress, who earlier this year announced her departure from Home and Away, is being widely tipped to take home the Gold as a touching send-off from viewers. At the ceremony, beloved rocker Jimmy Barnes is set to take the stage at The Star Sydney on August 3, bringing four decades of fan-favourite hits to Aussie ears. Meanwhile, comedian Sam Pang will host the event for the third time. Sam's cheeky and irreverent comedy as host last year and in 2023 proved to be a big hit with audiences and TV's A-list, as well as a major ratings winner for Seven. The ceremony will be available to watch from 7:00pm on Sunday, August 3 on Seven and 7Plus. 65th TV WEEK LOGIE AWARDS NOMINATIONS TV WEEK GOLD LOGIE – Most Popular Personality on Australian Television Ally Langdon - A Current Affair, The Olympic Games Paris 2024, 9Network Hamish Blake - LEGO Masters Australia, 9Network Julia Morris - I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, Network 10 Lisa Millar - Back Roads, ABC News Breakfast, Muster Dogs: Where Are They Now, Muster Dogs: Collies & Kelpies, ABC Lynne McGranger - Home and Away, Seven Network Poh Ling Yeow - MasterChef Australia, Network 10 Sonia Kruger - The Voice, Dancing With The Stars, Logies Red Carpet Show, Seven Network Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter Hamish Blake - LEGO Masters Australia, 9Network Julia Morris - I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, Network 10 Ricki-Lee - Australian Idol, Seven Network Sonia Kruger - The Voice, Dancing With The Stars, Logies Red Carpet Show, Seven Network Todd Woodbridge - Tipping Point Australia, Australian Open, The Olympic Games Paris 2024, Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, 9Network Zan Rowe - Take 5 With Zan Rowe, ABC New Year's Eve, ABC Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent Guy Montgomery - Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont Spelling Bee, ABC Hailey Pinto - Home and Away, Seven Network Jenny Tian - Taskmaster Australia, Network 10 Kate Miller-Heidke - The Voice, Seven Network Kylah Day - Territory, Netflix Sofia Levin - MasterChef Australia, Network 10 Ray Martin Award for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Presenter Ally Langdon - A Current Affair, 9Network David Speers - Insiders, ABC Michael Usher - 7NEWS, 7NEWS Spotlight, Seven Network Peter Overton - 9News, 9Network Sarah Ferguson - 7.30, ABC Tara Brown - 60 Minutes, Dangerous Lies: Unmasking Belle Gibson, 9Network TV WEEK SILVER LOGIE – Best Lead Actor in a Drama Lloyd Griffith - Return To Paradise, ABC Michael Dorman - Territory, Netflix Robert Taylor - Territory, Netflix Sam Corlett - Territory, Netflix Sam Neill - The Twelve, BINGE / FOXTEL Tai Hara - Return To Paradise, ABC TV WEEK SILVER LOGIE – Best Lead Actress in a Drama Alycia Debnam-Carey - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Anna Samson - Return To Paradise, ABC Anna Torv - Territory, Netflix Ayesha Madon - Heartbreak High, Netflix Kaitlyn Dever - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Lynne McGranger - Home and Away, Seven Network TV WEEK SILVER LOGIE – Best Lead Actor in a Comedy Aaron Chen - Fisk, ABC Ben Miller - Austin, ABC Clancy Brown - Good Cop/Bad Cop, Stan Luke Cook - Good Cop/Bad Cop, Stan Michael Theo - Austin, ABC Patrick Brammall - Colin From Accounts, BINGE / FOXTEL TV WEEK SILVER LOGIE – Best Lead Actress in a Comedy Harriet Dyer - Colin From Accounts, BINGE / FOXTEL Jenna Owen - Nugget is Dead: A Christmas Story, Stan Kitty Flanagan - Fisk, ABC Leighton Meester - Good Cop/Bad Cop, Stan Sally Phillips, Austin - ABC Vic Zerbst - Nugget is Dead: A Christmas Story, Stan TV WEEK SILVER LOGIE – Best Supporting Actor Ashley Zukerman - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Darren Gilshenan - Colin From Accounts, BINGE / FOXTEL Glenn Butcher - Fisk, ABC Mark Coles Smith - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Matt Nable - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Sam Delich - Territory, Netflix TV WEEK SILVER LOGIE – Best Supporting Actress Aisha Dee - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Chloé Hayden - Heartbreak High, Netflix Julia Zemiro - Fisk, ABC Marg Downey - The Newsreader, ABC Michelle Lim Davidson - The Newsreader, ABC Tilda Cobham-Hervey - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Best Drama Program Bump - Stan Heartbreak High - Netflix Return To Paradise - ABC Territory - Netflix The Newsreader - ABC The Twelve - BINGE / FOXTEL Best Miniseries or Telemovie Apple Cider Vinegar - Netflix Critical Incident - Stan Fake - Paramount+ How To Make Gravy - BINGE / FOXTEL Human Error - 9Network Plum - ABC Best Entertainment Program ABC New Year's Eve - ABC Australian Idol - Seven Network Countdown 50 Years On - ABC Dancing With The Stars - Seven Network The Voice - Seven Network Vision Australia's Carols by Candlelight - 9Network Best Current Affairs Program 60 Minutes - 9Network 7.30 - ABC 7NEWS Spotlight - Seven Network A Current Affair - 9Network Australian Story - ABC Four Corners - ABC Best Scripted Comedy Program Austin - ABC Colin From Accounts - BINGE / FOXTEL Fisk - ABC Good Cop/Bad Cop - Stan Melbourne International Comedy Festival - ABC Optics - ABC Best Comedy Entertainment Program Gruen - ABC Hard Quiz - ABC Have You Been Paying Attention?

Joan Collins, 92, oozes sophistication in a chic white dress as she joins husband Percy Gibson, 60, at lavish dinner party in Saint-Tropez
Joan Collins cut a stylish figure as she and her husband, Percy Gibson, attended Frederic Merlin's lavish dinner party in Saint-Tropez, France, on Friday. The actress, 92, showcased her timeless sense of style at the event, held at the upscale beachside Italian restaurant Gigi Ramatuelle. For the occasion, she oozed sophistication in a chic white dress paired with a matching blazer, which featured cape sleeves and intricate flamingo and palm tree embroidery. She added height with a pair of white open-toed heels as she arrived arm-in-arm with Percy, who is 32 years her junior. Meanwhile, Percy, 60, looked dapper in a grey checked double-breasted blazer layered over a pale pink shirt. He completed the summery look with white skinny jeans and cream loafers. Percy is the Dynasty star's fifth husband, with the pair tying the knot at London's Claridge's in February 2002. The American Horror Story star was previously married to Maxwell Reed, Anthony Newley, Ron Kass and Peter Holm. Originally from Peru, Percy is a noted Hollywood producer, known primarily for producing Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Their outing comes after it was revealed that Joan regards Donald Trump as one of her 'closest lifelong friends,' according to sources who say the Hollywood icon has 'never been shy about her love' for the politician. The Dynasty star raised eyebrows earlier this year after she was named as a pro-MAGA patriot while attending a 'pre-inauguration celebration' with right-wing friends. The iconic actress was seen having a 'lovely dinner with friends' in a picture shared by conservative actor James Woods to his X account. Seeing the star alongside Woods and other outspoken MAGA fanatics led many fans to share their surprise that Joan is associated with the group. However, a source exclusively explained to that it should come as 'no surprise at all' as the president-elect is one of her 'closest friends.' 'To Joan, Donald is not just a former president and soon-to-be MAGA president, but he is also one of her closest lifelong friends,' the insider began. 'She has run in his circle for 40 years, and they have so much love for one another.' The source noted that Joan has openly praised Trump for helping to inspire her beloved Dynasty character, Alexis Carrington Colby. 'It is no secret that Joan modelled her famous Alexis character on Dynasty after Donald,' the insider continued. 'She has discussed her inspiration countless times over the years and said it was half Donald Trump and half another friend of hers. 'She took Donald's 'ruthlessness' for Alexis. Joan has never been shy about her love for Donald.' The source also highlighted Joans' close relationship to both Trump and his late ex-wife, Ivanna. The insider added: 'But it was not only Donald that is a huge part of her life, but Donald's ex-wife Ivanna, Ivanka's mom. Joan and Ivanna were so beyond close and remained friends until Ivanna's death. 'Joan was heartbroken when Ivanna passed because she was one of the only people who truly got her. She never let Donald and Ivanna's divorce change her love and respect for each of them.' Opening up about the British icon's decision to support her friend amid his political campaigns at the time, the insider continued: 'Joan has always been quiet about her political affiliations because she does not believe this needs to be broadcast.' contacted reps for Joan for comment at the time. Collins' fifth husband, Percy, was also at the gathering, which had started out as a 'post-Christmas dinner.' Woods explained in the picture caption: 'It evolved from a post-Christmas dinner to a pre-Inauguration celebration. Not often in Hollywood you can be surrounded by patriots. What a joyous night.'
