'Fake influencer' Suzan Mutesi arrives at Australian Fashion Week wearing just a bra as a top - after causing chaos last year by rocking up in a towel
Suzan Mutesi knows how to make an entrance.
The 'fake influencer' was certainly commanding attention as she attended day four of Australian Fashion Week in Sydney on Thursday.
The 38-year-old stepped out wearing just a bra as a top, the pale blue and black underwear worn under a long, white shawl.
She added a pair of black trousers with flashes of neon orange and heels with a gold top detail.
Suzan added a pair of dangling statement earrings and carried a designer purse in a black animal skin.
The reality star opted for a clean makeup look with a soft pink lip and wore her ombre blonde hair down and straightened.
Suzan made headlines when she arrived at Sydney 's Carriageworks wearing a towel last year.
She is back at it again this year, earlier this week stepping out in a bizarre preppy outfit with a black sports coat hanging from her torso with just one sleeve.
The look begins with a black Ralph Lauren polo shirt which The Challenge star tucked into a mini pleated skirt.
She paired it with a set of thigh-high white socks with black bands and shiny, gold-tipped kitten heels.
Suzan then pulled a jacket on over one arm as she carried a faux leather handbag.
She kept her face bare, opting for a no-makeup look.
The actor finished her ensemble with a blonde wig and white cap.
Suzan has fast become a fixture at Carriageworks during AFW every year, making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
Last year, the controversial Sydney influencer stunned when she stepped out wearing only a towel wrapped around her body, and another wrapped around her head
Last year, the controversial Sydney influencer stunned when she stepped out wearing only a towel wrapped around her body, and another wrapped around her head.
The look was a direct copy of the Vetements 'towel' outfit worn by singer Doja Cat at the 2024 Met Gala.
Photos showed Suzan, who has been accused of purchasing a bulk of her 1.2million Instagram followers, walking from her parked Mazda while trying to keep her towel from unfurling.
Upon noticing a photographer, Suzan began posing for an impromptu photo shoot in the middle of the gravel car park.
Suzan's grey Mazda is the same car that broke down in front of a crowd at Carriageworks during Australian Fashion Week in 2023.
She was left humiliated and was forced to miss out on a fashion show as she stood by her car waiting for a mechanic to arrive on site and fix her vehicle.
The influencer's presence at Australian Fashion Week has been questioned in recent years by insiders who claim she has previously pretended to attend shows after failing to receive tickets.
'She has been showing up to Carriageworks just to get her photograph taken, without being invited to the fashion shows she claims she's attending,' a source said.
'She only went to a few shows, but for the most part she's just hanging around outside for attention.'

Gigi Hadid parties in a SUPER short dress that almost flashes her panties
Gigi Hadid put on a leggy display wearing a summer minidress as she attended the launch party for her collaboration with Brazilian-brand Havaianas on Wednesday in NYC. The cute dress was so short it almost flashed her underwear. The supermodel, 30 - whose 'close bond' with boyfriend Bradley Cooper's daughter was revealed this week - flashed a cheerful smile as she arrived to Altro Paradiso where the event took place. The star donned a sleeveless, white tweed ensemble that contained a hem that stopped inches above her knees and colorful gem embellishments on the material. Hadid additionally slipped into a pair of yellow flip flops - which are a part of her new collection with Havaianas which officially drops on Thursday, May 29. The mom-of-one accessorized the look with a pair of dangly earrings as well as chunky bracelets and a beaded anklet. 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. An eye-catching purse was placed over her right shoulder to hold a few items she needed during the outing. Gigi's makeup was classically done and comprised of a pink blush to her cheekbones as well as a glossy nude-colored tint to her lips. Havaianas - a shoe brand based in Brazil - recently collaborated with the model on a new collection of flip flops just in time for the hot summer season. Hadid recently became the company's global ambassador and back in March she issued a statement about working closely with the brand. 'To be the Havaianas global ambassador is surreal, and a bit nostalgic,' the star expressed, per WWD. 'Growing up at the beach, I can't remember a time when I wasn't wearing this summer staple. I'm excited to be working with this team and I love that Havaianas is making a comeback.' Global marketing vice president Maria Fernanda Albuquerque also shared, 'Flip-flops are having a major moment. This summer staple has evolved from humble beginnings into being a celebrated fashion statement. 'In this context, we are very proud and excited to announce Gigi Hadid as our new global ambassador. With the endorsement of this global fashion icon, we aim to elevate flip-flops to new heights of style and recognition.'

The Hollywood actor shares his daughter with fellow supermodel Irina Shayk - whom he dated from 2015 through 2019. Gigi is also mom to four-year-old Khai whom she welcomed with ex and former One Direction member Zayn Malik. A source told this week the Hadid and Cooper are getting closer to possibly settling down together - while also giving insight to the model's relationship with Lea. 'Gigi treats Bradley's daughter, Lea, as if she were her own. Lea sees Gigi as a mother figure in return. Irina [Shayk] fully supports their close bond,' the insider said. 'Lea has also become like a big sister to Khai, and the two girls share a strong relationship.' The insider added, 'Khai has grown up with Bradley and Lea as a regular part of her life, and she sees Bradley as a father figure - something Zayn supports as well.' They noted that their blended family is more 'unconventional' but explained 'there is nothing but love among all of them.' Earlier this month, a separate source told People, 'Gigi's family is so happy for her and they absolutely adore Bradley. 'He is such a gentleman and he blends so seamlessly into their family. Gigi and Bradley have a lot in common and his daughter, Lea, is so sweet and gentle with Khai.' Both Hadid's mom Yolanda and supermodel sister Bella also 'love Bradley but the main thing they care about is that he treats Gigi with love and respect. 'Bradley is different from any of Gigi's past relationships and they've never seen her this happy with a partner before.' Also this month to mark her 30th birthday, the beauty jumped to her main Instagram page to share snaps from her bash. In one image, Gigi could be seen sharing a sweet kiss with Bradley shortly after blowing out the candles on her chocolate cake. And while making a glamorous appearance at the Met Gala this year, the model also made rare comments about the actor. During an interview with Vogue, she opened up about her day before walking the blue carpet at the star-studded event. 'I woke up. I was with my man. We had a chill morning, some laughs, you know,' Hadid began. She added that she then went home and indulged in 'chicken fingers and fries' before getting ready for the big night. Back in March, Gigi also spoke with Vogue to reflect on her 'normal experience' of dating the Oscar winner. 'Bradley has opened me up to going to the theater more, and that's something that's so nice to bring back into my life,' she said. 'You want to give yourself a normal experience of dating and even for my friends who aren't public figures, that's hard. Where do you go? And, what? You just start talking to people?' The media personality continued, 'I think just getting to the point where knowing what you want and deserve in a relationship is essential. 'And then to find someone that is in a place in their life where they know what they want and deserve… and you both do work separately to come together and be the best partner that you can be - I just feel really lucky.'

EXCLUSIVE I hit rock bottom after spending $300,000 on booze, designer bags, shoes and so-called 'friends'. Here's how I turned my life around
An Aussie woman has recalled the horrifying cycle of abuse that landed her in $300,000 of debt and how she finally broke her destructive spending habits. Liz Porter, 54, hit rock bottom after seven years of spending her $4,000-a-month income on partying, clothes and designer bags while failing to pay her bills and sinking further into crippling debt. Ms Porter turned to spending as a way to cope with the abuse she suffered at the hands of boyfriends as well as being conned out of money by so-called friends. Today, Ms Porter is an IT manager in Australia's health sector and a proud home owner in Melbourne 's Docklands, an achievement which seemed impossible when she was declared bankrupt at the age of 28. The 54-year-old explained how her problems spiralled because she had low self-esteem, which began while she was at school. 'I was made to feel stupid, I even had teachers tell me that I will never amount to anything so I spent a lot of my younger years believing I was stupid and that everything I did was my fault,' she told Daily Mail Australia. 'When you feel bad about yourself you attract people that are not good for you and I had relationships that were abusive. They used to tell me I was fat, ugly, disgusting.' When the abuse turned violent, Ms Porter turned to spending. 'The only way I could ever feel good was buying frivolous stuff to make myself feel good,' she said. The 54-year-old admitted periods of spending coincided with moments in her life where she felt worthless. She recalled a horrifying incident with an ex-boyfriend who pushed her down the stairs and then accused her of being 'clumsy'. 'Even old school friends would come into my life and they'd rip me off, take advantage of me and get money out of me,' she said. In one such incident, Ms Porter's friend tricked her into signing a lease for a three-bedroom property and then refused to pay her share. At her lowest, Ms Porter was spending her $4,000-a-month income on clothes, shoes and bags, admitting she now has 'nothing to show for it'. She turned to alcohol and food for comfort, and ended up weighing 130kg at her heaviest. Over the course of seven years, Ms Porter's spending racked up to over $300,000. 'I would spend, spend, spend and then think "I haven't got money for rent",' she said. Ms Porter struggled to tell her family her spiralling debts as she feared her loved ones would think she was 'stupid'. After being sexually and violently assaulted, Ms Porter finally opened up to her family who advised her to speak to a counsellor. 'When I spoke to a counsellor about the abuse it was like opening a can of worms and initially my spending habits worsened because I was so upset and I needed to feel better about myself,' Ms Porter said. The counsellor suggested she see a financial advisor and she was subsequently declared bankrupt at the age of 28. With $40,000 worth of debt, she first entered into a Part IX debt agreement, which is an alternative to bankruptcy for individuals struggling to repay their debts. After paying back $10,000, Ms Porter's counsellor said her debts were taking too great a toll on her mental health. They advised the 'broken' Melbourne local to file for bankruptcy, a legal process where you're declared unable to pay back your debts. In Victoria, bankruptcy typically lasts three years and one day. Credit reporting agencies keep a record for five years from the date of bankruptcy or two years after your discharge, whichever is later. Ms Porter said her counsellor's belief in her completely changed her mindset. She rebuilt her life and landed a job as an IT supervisor at Telstra, where she quickly rose through the ranks. Years later, she took voluntary redundancy and used the money to enroll in a financial management course. After believing she would rent for the rest of her life, Ms Porter was shocked to learn that her consistent rental history, strong income, and savings from the redundancy made her an ideal candidate for a mortgage. Ms Porter went on to get a new job and bought a unit in Melbourne Docklands, the same area where she had rented for 13 years. The 54-year-old is now looking to the future and hopes to retire early, something that would have seemed impossible when she was younger. She stressed the importance of being kind to yourself during hardships and 'learning to love yourself' and realising 'you're stronger than you think you are'.
