Bambi Northwood-Blyth was drawing onlookers as she attended Australian Fashion Week on Wednesday.
The model turned heads in a simple white cotton shirt under which she went braless, leaving little to the imagination.
The 34-year-old paired the lived-in top with a pair of puffy shorts that resembled bloomers and featured a checked pattern in a dark purple.
She added a pair of retro sunglasses and hoop earrings while keeping her other accessories light.
Bambi completed her ensemble with a pair of black patent leather heels with a hold barbed wire detail.
For makeup, she chose a natural look with some flush in her cheeks along along a dark pink lip stain.

It comes as Bambi's ex-husband Dan Single has returned to the spotlight with a bang after several years living quietly following a horror fall from a balcony that almost took his life.
The Ksubi designer staged an art installation at Australian Fashion Week on Tuesday night to promote his new book, The Diary of a Naughtie Kid.
The 47-year-old, who has rarely discussed his March 2017 accident which happened at an upscale Paris hotel, on Wednesday revealed that he 'died for ten minutes' after the fall, which left him in a coma.
'It made me stop, slow down and think about what I want in my life,' the designer told Confidential.
'I had a chance to start fresh and I have used that second chance to be of service and help to inspire.'
His book, which features photos and ephemera such as love letters, hate mail and newspaper clippings from Dan's reign in the fashion world in the 2000s, he says is a 'a little snapshot in time when it was a magical moment to be alive'.
The book is dedicated to his teenage son, Justice, 18, who he shares with P.E Nation designer Pip Edwards.
'I made this book for my son, Justice, who is way too big now and for the next generation to show them you don't need permission or training to create' Dan said.
'It is not a life story, it is not even close … this captures a brief moment in time, the noughties. A moment in time when everything felt new, like there were no rules.'
The installation launching The Diary of a Naughtie Kid, which was attended by several hundred audience members at Carriageworks in Sydney, featured a heavily tattooed woman sitting upon a tin foil wrapped couch surrounded by images from the tome.
Dan fell 35 metres from the fourth-storey balcony of Hotel Grand D'Amour in Paris in March, 2017.
The accident saw him plunge several storeys, shattering his legs and leaving him in a coma for eight days.
The Daily Telegraph first reported Dan's fall, with a source telling the publication at the time: 'His legs are a complete mess; he won't be walking for a very long time.
'He is not in a good way. It's expected both he and Bambi will have to stay over there for quite a while ­because he's not able to fly.'
The following month, Dan created a Go Fund Me page, writing that he's 'been given a second lease at life.'
'It all sounds awful but the guy writing this mail has been given a second lease at life and is SO grateful, inspired and excited to be back soon,' he wrote on the page.
'I am also lucky to have my family here by [my] side, wife, mother, brother and at least a visitor a day.'
Dan said at the time that he was hoping to raise $250,000 to help pay for his recovery and any associated costs.
'Help fund the hospital bill, rehab bill, early flights home, being unable to make bread and work over the next [few] months and all the incidentals the family is covering at the moment,' Dan added.
The entrepreneur also clarified that the media reports were correct, and that he shattered 'every bone from my feet to my hips and pelvis.'
'I fell three floors (35 metres) out of my hotel room in Paris, did a summersault and landed on my feet which saved my spine and my brain (a miracle says the doctor, one in 100 million chance).'
Dan added about his recovery: 'I have been in a coma for two weeks, had eight operations and am covered in pins and bolts in my bones.'
'I cannot use my legs for another month or two so will be in a rehab centre in Paris recovering.'
Single was labelled 'pathetic' for asking the public to raise the $250,000 to help cover his medical bills.
An anonymous donor said: 'How come you can fund partying, drinking and overseas trips but not your own recovery?'
'I'll give you $5 with the sole intent of telling you what an idiot everyone thinks you are.'
Single later removed the crowdfunding campaign after it was met with an avalanche of abuse with the former BRW Young Rich-lister labelled 'disgusting' by commenters.
Single announced his his split with then-wife Bambi in March 2018, exactly twelve months after his Paris balcony fall.

When one isn't enough! Brittany Hockley shows off her stack of wedding rings as she returns to Australia with new husband Benjamin Siegrist after Bali nuptials

Brittany Hockley and her newly minted husband Benjamin Siegrist have returned to Sydney after tying in knot in Bali. While her wedding may be over, Brittany won't forget in a hurry, with the former Bachelor star's finger festooned with an array of rings. The brunette was spotted showing off her bling as the couple strolled hand-in-hand through the streets of Bondi on Tuesday. She wore the stunning diamond sparkler Benjamin, 33, got down on bended knee with when he popped the question in June last year. She also sported two wedding rings created for her big day - a plain 18k gold band and another gold band encrusted with brilliant white diamonds. 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. Meanwhile Benjamin, also went for the 'bling' approach for his wedding band, with the goalkeeper now wearing a 14k yellow gold band with infinity pavé diamonds. All three wedding rings were created by Brittany's best friend and Life Uncut podcast co-host Laura Byrne's jewellery line, ToniMay. Brittany cut a casual figure in a puffy sleeveless jacket that she wore over a white long-sleeve zip-up top. She matched this with a pair of form-fitting navy blue leggings which she had tucked into a pair of white socks. Accessorising with a pair of almond-shaped sunglasses, Brittany finished her ensemble with a pair of white sneakers. Husband Benjamin cut an equally casual figure, putting on a leggy display in a pair of navy blue shorts. He also wore a Lorna Jane zip-up jacket that featured a trio of blue strips running along the shoulders and sleeves. He finished his look with a navy blue Atlanta braves baseball cap. Benjamin was also in charge of Brittany's faithful pooch Delilah for the outing. After picking up some bakery items, the couple were seen happily chatting as they enjoyed the start of their new life together. Brittany and Ben wed in a romantic ceremony in Bali on Wednesday last week. The wedding took place at Pandawa Cliff Estate, which promises a 'dramatic and romantic clifftop setting overlooking the Indian Ocean' and stunning views of Bali's Bukit Peninsula. Brittany was ever the blushing bride on her big day, walking down the aisle in a strapless dress by Steven Khalil which featured a lace corset with dramatic long train. The couple gave followers a glimpse into the nuptials, sharing a duo of loved-up snaps from the big day to Instagram. One showed Ben romantically embracing his new bride as he leaned in for a newlywed kiss. The second showed the happy couple beaming as they held hands and hugged each other close. 'From the very first day, it was you,' Brittany captioned the images. 'Across any ocean, it is you. For the rest of our lives, it will always be you. Mr and Mrs Siegrist 4.6.2025,' she added, augmenting the sentiment with love heart emojis. Brittany and her beau appeared on her podcast Life Uncut in June last year to discuss details about her stunning giant diamond ring. Ben revealed he had the ring sourced and made in Dubai and it features a hidden halo under the diamond in a pavé setting. He also explained the diamond is lab-grown, which is more cost-effective and ethically sourced compared to natural diamonds. 'Whenever Ben and I had spoken about [engagement], I had said the two things I want: I want yellow gold. And the other thing, I always wanted a lab-grown diamond,' Brittany said. Ben didn't really know about it then, but he was like, "Don't you want a real diamond?" And I said, "It's identical. It's exactly the same, except ethically-sourced".' The cost of a lab grown diamond is around 40 to 50 per cent less than an earth-mined diamond, though it is still a real diamond.

Farmer Wants A Wife: Are Thomas and Clarette still together?

Farmer Thomas came to the end of his emotional quest to find love on Monday's finale of Farmer Wants A Wife. The South Australian wheat, barley, and lentil farmer declared his feelings for school teacher Clarette, both 35. As previously revealed by Daily Mail Australia, the couple are still together, and going strong. Clarette packed up her bags and relocated to Kimba to live with Farmer Thomas on his farm earlier this year. She is currently working at a local school teaching secondary English. 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. After realising that Clarette was The One, Thomas asked to speak with Rachael and Jess separately to tell them that Clarette had won his heart. Both ladies wished him well before leaving the farm together. Making his boldest move yet, Thomas left a handwritten note asking Clarette to meet him at sunset for an important conversation. Their journey has been rife with drama, and the 13th episode saw Thomas make a dramatic comeback to the show just 24 hours after blindsiding his ladies by abruptly storming off the farm follow a spat with Clarette. Clarette was left reeling from their argument and had felt betrayed after discovering he'd been messaging his ex, Claire, despite insisting their connection was over. Thomas was quick to shut down any lingering doubts. 'I mean it, I swear. The contact's deleted. No contact at all,' he insisted. His emotional plea seemed to work, with Clarette accepting his apology before the pair sealed their reconciliation with a passionate kiss. It comes after the fate of Thomas and Clarette after they finished filming was revealed. Despite some major mid-season hiccups and walkouts, have reportedly patched things up and are still very much together. 'It was rocky, especially after the whole honesty box disaster, but Thomas realised Clarette was the one,' a production source told Daily Mail Australia. 'They've been trying to make long-distance work and are discussing next steps.'

Peter Helliar reveals the emotional toll The Project's axing has had on him after co-hosting the show for eight years

Peter Helliar has revealed the emotional toll the shock axing of Channel Ten 's The Project has had on himself and his former co-workers. Appearing on Nova's Jase and Lauren on Tuesday, the veteran presenter, who co-hosted the panel show from 2014 - 2022, admitted he was devastated over the cancellation . 'Really sad. What an amazing legacy that show has, 16 years. Very few shows get to the second season. This was like the little engine that could,' he said. 'In its first year, it was going to get axed every second week. And 16 years later to see that the people have become household names who have gone through that show!' Helliar, who quit the show in 2022, the same year Carrie Bickmore, Tommy Little and Lisa Wilkinson also left, warned the axing would leave a huge gap in Australian television and significantly impact many stars who used it as a launching pad to further their career. 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. 'I don't think audiences realise what they'll miss out on now. The amount of comedians, musicians and filmmakers who have said to me over the years "The Project was the reason we sold tickets." That's missing now. 16 incredible years... A lot of people lost their jobs yesterday,' he said. He added that several of his former Project colleagues told him they had a 'really hard day' upon hearing the news. The Project was officially axed on Monday after 16 years on air and will air its final episode on June 27. Network 10 announced the news by sharing a post to Facebook thanking viewers for their support before announcing the show's replacement. Current hosts Waleed Aly, Sarah Harris and Hamish Macdonald will exit the network, while comedian Sam Taunton will continue his guest appearances on other Ten shows. The news show, which has been in a ratings free-fall since Bickmore left her seat as host at the end of 2022, has aired 'nearly 4,500 episodes' to date and will wrap up in three weeks. Daily Mail Australia previously revealed The Project was under review and set to be axed on March 16. A picture was shared online of Aly, Harris, Taunton and Georgie Tunny smiling as they sat together behind the news desk. Peter said the axing would leave a huge gap in Australian television and significantly impact the many international stars who used it as a launching pad 'The Project will finish up on June 27. For nearly 16 years, The Project has been Australia's destination for the news when you want a little bit of a giggle,' the caption said. 'Well, we have loved every second but all good things come to an end and so are we. 'To everyone who has watched, supported, donated money to help families across Australia, worked on the show or just liked a social post. Thank you.' Harris also spoke about the cancellation and her subsequent exit from the network. 'There aren't many jobs where you get to tell very human stories, and interview politicians and celebrities all while having a laugh – or ugly crying – in front of a live studio audience every night,' Harris told The Sydney Morning Herald. Aly also released a statement, saying: 'The Project kicked down the door of how news could be done.' After announcing The Project was ending, Ten released another statement announcing the news program which will be replacing the axed show. Recently poached Seven journalists Denham Hitchcock and Amelia Brace are expected to host the new evening program. The Project first aired in July 2009 and exceeded more than a million metro viewers at the height of its success - It boasted a rotating panel with stars like Aly, Harris, Tunny, Hamish Macdonald, Rove McManus, Taunton and Susie Youssef. It won several accolades including 11 Logie Awards - two of which were viewer-voted Gold Logies won by Aly and Bickmore. However, audiences began to dwindle in recent years - Just last week, The Project attracted between 238,000 and 357,000 viewers nationally.
