Australia's most recognisable model announces engagement and shows off MASSIVE diamond ring in Italy
Emily Venz, who made headlines after fans noticed she had appeared in almost every Australian fashion campaign, took to Instagram on Wednesday to announce her engagement.
In one clip, her longtime partner Jordan Davies got down on one knee in a stunning boat proposal overlooking the sunset in Ischia, Italy.
Emily wore an elegant white two-piece, comprising a long maxi skirt with hints of sheer lace and a cropped top tied at the front.
The 33-year-old's long blonde locks fell across her shoulders and blew in the wind as she said 'I do' with a colourful sky behind her.

In another post, the model shared a slew of pictures of the big day.
One showed Emily with her new fiancé embracing at golden hour, while another showed the model post-proposal on the bobbing boat.
However, most notable was a snap of her engagement ring, which boasted a massive diamond and a simple gold band.
'Locked in,' she captioned the post, which has received over 37,000 likes.
Fans, friends and Emily's fellow influencer pals flooded the post with well-wishes for the bride-to-be.
'Omg,' Sopha Dopha simply put.
Jacquie Alexander penned: 'Congratulations girly.'
'I still cant believe it,' Isabella Mathers wrote, adding: 'so so so happy for you guys, love you.'
Even Love Island's Grace Jackson took to the comments, writing: 'Congratulations gorgeous girl.'
In 2024, social media was sent into a frenzy after eagle-eyed fans noticed that Emily had appeared in almost every major Australian fashion campaign.
The under-the-radar star has modelled for the likes of White Fox, Babyboo, Beginning Boutique and Hello Molly, among many others, and often appears on their websites.
And one shopper took to TikTok to share their surprise after noticing it was the exact same woman they kept seeing in numerous brands' shoots.
The TikTok user captioned the now-viral post: 'Who is this woman and why is she the face of everything? We all recognise her right?! Who is she?'
'Like are all these brands the same actually or is she just such a baddie they all need her to model?! Help,' they added in a caption.
Speaking about the now-viral video of herself, Emily told Daily Mail Australia she was 'shocked' to see her career becoming such a topic of conversation online.
She shared: 'I was honestly quite shocked when my friends sent me the video and I couldn't believe how quickly it gained so many views.
'I've been so busy lately as work has really picked up for me so it was really nice to see so many people had noticed and were so supportive of my modelling.'
'I had no idea that my campaigns had reached so many people in Australia and across the world so it has been very surreal to see,' she added.
Emily, who is from the Gold Coast, also revealed exactly how many brands she works with amid the speculation that she is taking over the Australian fashion market.
'Contrary to what people may think. I don't work with a huge amount of brands. I work with around eight brands on a regular basis,' she explained.
'It's difficult to say yes to everything when you have consistent jobs coming in from those you already have relationships with.

King Charles' cousin Lord Ivar Mountbatten announces the engagement of his 'most precious' daughter Ella, 29, to her insurance executive boyfriend
King Charles 's cousin has announced the engagement of his eldest daughter, Ella Mountbatten. British aristocrat Lord Ivar Mountbatten, 62, who previously won America's The Traitors, took to Instagram to share the happy news of 29-year-old Ella's engagement to Fergus Allways Wright. 'I couldn't be happier to announce the engagement of my eldest and most precious daughter Ella @ellamountbatten to her fabulous boyfriend Fergus @ the proud father wrote. He continued, 'Ferg is not one to be rushed, so I am incredibly pleased that he has finally put us all out of our misery! 'I know he will look after my daughter to his dying day - they couldn't be better suited. Enjoy this special time in your life.' The father-of-three to Ella, Alix and Luli, with his ex-wife, Penny Mounbatten, signed the post off by writing, 'Much love to you both. X #happycouple #finally #1down2togo.' Ivar, who became the first member of the extended Royal Family to enter a same-sex union in 2018 with partner James Coyle, added a sweet photograph of the happy couple in the post. Brand partnership manager Ella was all smiles as she proudly displayed her emerald and diamond-encrusted engagement ring while standing next to her fiancé, who works as an insurance executive. It comes after Ivar's niece, Lady Tatiana Mountbatten, welcomed her second child earlier this year in April. The 34-year-old equestrian and psychotherapist, who is the daughter of George Mountbatten, Marquess of Milford Haven, and Sarah Walker, took to Instagram to reveal she's had a baby boy - and shared his unique and meaningful name. She posted a series of sweet photographs, including one of the newborn wrapped up in a knitted jumper, a cloud-print beanie and tiny mittens, under a cosy blanket. The aristocrat further revealed that she'd called her newborn Auberon, or Albie for short. Tatiana shared several photographs of her eldest child Elodie, who she and husband Alexander 'Alick' Dru welcomed in September 2023, and her family enjoying the start of spring in the countryside. The final photo in her set was of her holding both Elodie and Albie close as they cuddled on a sofa, Tatiana smiling at the camera and appearing radiant. In another picture, the proud parent simply showed his tiny hand holding one of her fingers. The mother-of-two wrote in the caption, 'March might just have been the best month of my life. The proud father said he 'couldn't be happier' to announce the engagement of his eldest daughter 'We've been in the country for a month, Auberon (Albie) has been really wonderful to look after. 'His big sister has adored being outside all day every day and is slowly getting used to him. 'We've played, rested, nourished, slept a little, loved a lot and enjoyed every minute of the glorious spring weather.' However, the time had come for the family to head back to London, Tatiana revealed. 'Now it's time to head back to London, to return to normal - or discover what our new normal looks like, and slowly find our stride again. Unbelievably grateful.' Friends and family congratulated the family on their newest arrival, including Ella Mountbatten, daughter of Lord Ivar Mountbatten. In a comment on the post, she wished Tatiana ahead of her birthday on April 16 and wrote, 'My new little cuz Albie, he's the sweetest Tats, congratulations and happy birthday for Wednesday.' Tatiana also appeared eager to show Albie the reins of her beloved horses and to get him a pony of his own in the near future. In reply to a fellow equestrian who asked when the royal would be buying him his first pony, Tatiana replied with an enthusiastic 'Soon!'. Another commenter wondered about the origins of Albie's name. Tatiana clarified that Auberon is Alick's family name, as his father is Auberon Alexander Bernard Dru. In October last year, Tatiana revealed she was expecting her second child in a post showing off her growing bump at the time in a form-fitting jersey jumpsuit by Max Mara. At the time, she shared a photograph of herself proudly cradling her pregnant belly while at an event hosted by the Italian designer and wrote in the caption, 'A private preview of my growing bump maxmara exquisite new collection.' She and Alick had welcomed their first child Elodie in September 2023. She previously revealed that the couple did not know the gender of the baby and were keeping it a 'surprise on the day'. Tatiana and Alick married at Winchester Cathedral in July 2022. The bride wore an elegant gown by British designer Suzanne Neville that included a bespoke three metre train with embroidery from her mother's wedding gown. Tatiana is the second cousin once removed of King Charles, and the eldest child of George Mountbatten and his first wife Sarah Georgina Walker. Her younger brother is Henry David Louis Mountbatten, Earl of Medina, while her stepbrother is Harry Wentworth-Stanley, the husband of Prince Harry's ex-girlfriend, Cressida Bonas. Alick, an entrepreneur who studied in Eton, is the son of Auberon Alexander Bernard Dru and Catherine Margaret Norden. His father, known as Bernard, is the son of Major Alexander Dru and Gabriel Mary Hermione Herbert, and is a descendent of both John Vesey, 4th Viscount de Vesci, and Henry Howard Molyneux Herbert, 4th Earl of Carnarvon.

I Shop For A Living – This Is The Dress Trend Cool Girls Reach For Every Summer
& Other Stories, Linen Mini Dress M&S, Pure Cotton Square Neck Midaxi Dress Nobody's Child, Black Vera Midi Dress Faithfull, Hedy Strapless Gathered Maxi Dress Ganni, Black Cotton Poplin Tie String Mini Dress COS, Pima Cotton Halterneck Dress Rixo, Seraphina Midi Dress H&M, Broderie Anglaise Shirt Dress Zara, Flowing Midi Dress With Elasticated Detail ME+EM, Cheesecloth Relaxed Midi Day Dress In the rankings of wardrobe essentials, a black dress is practically royalty, up there with those faded blue jeans you've been wearing for years. No matter how many vivid floral midis and sorbet-hued pastel frocks summer brings to the table, there's something about a little (or long) black dress that's just so chic. Personally, I've flirted with this season's heavy hitters – yes, I mean butter yellow dresses and a brief obsession with drop waist maxis – but every time I need to feel put-together with absolutely no effort, I invariably reach for a black dress, and for good reason. Whether I'm slipping into a tailored black shirt dress for the office, styling a slinky slip for date night, or throwing on a crocheted black dress at the beach, it's a staple that always delivers. The best black dresses for the summer are basically as close as you can get to a style cheat code, and somehow they're better than ever this year. ©Instagram/@dualipa ©Getty Images/PG/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images Don't believe us? Take a closer look at the A-list, many of whom have been taking their black summer dresses out for a spin, on and off the red carpet. Emily Ratajkowski wore a sleek midi at a recent Gucci event, while Vanessa Kirby was spotted in not one, but two breezy black dresses in New York. For more casual takes, both Dua Lipa and Alexa Chung casually styled black lace dresses on holiday recently. Proof that no matter if your style leans towards boho, relaxed casual or sultry, a black dress nails every summer brief with polished ease. An antithesis to summer's ubiquitous white dresses, a black frock is naturally more forgiving, easily hiding that occasional iced coffee spill and grass stain. However, it's the wardrobe staple's wide spectrum of use that really sells it for us, ranging from sexy silk and satin designs to formal takes (think shirt dresses and modest midis) and more casual constructions in cotton and linen in all shades of black from deep black to faded charcoal. From classic A-line or column silhouettes to trendy sheer, draped and drop-waist designs, black summer dresses are imbued with a timeless charm that'll last for years to come. Of course, not all black dresses are created equal, and every major label, luxury or high-street, has a few options. Earlier this summer, Ganni's belted summer dress, made waves on Instagram and sold out in record speed, while most of us at Grazia snapped up Zara's viral lace dress last week. If you're looking to splurge, the style set is especially taken with Doen's Ischia dress. The celeb-loved bestseller is proving incredibly popular thanks to its smocked bodice, adjustable waist tie and an A-line skirt that suits literally every body. ©Instagram/@ilanatorbiner Dôen,Ischia Dress For a more affordable alternative, we've also been eyeing & Other Stories' linen mini dress with a simple shift silhouette that'll work wonders across body types (even if you're under 5'2"). The breezy construction will keep you cool while the simple boatneck adds a sophisticated flair. ©instagram/@anastasiia_kostrub 2. & Other Stories, Linen Mini Dress A universally flattering icon, the best black dresses will keep you looking sharp even on the days when getting dressed feels like an impossible task. Styled simply with straw basket bags and suede sandals for the summer, the best ones will layer effortlessly under knits and jackets come autumn. Upcoming trip to the Med, that black-tie wedding, sweltering work commutes, or al fresco brunchs; no matter what's on your calendar, there's a perfect black summer dress for you, and we've curated the best below.
