Karl Stefanovic's model daughter Willow, 20, stuns during Tuscan wedding as she shows off striking $463 pink strapless gown
The daughter of Today host and his ex-wife Cassandra Thorburn took to Instagram on Tuesday to share several striking photos of herself at the nuptials in Tuscany.
Willow, whose first name is Ava but uses her middle name, attended the European wedding as a guest and opted for a summer-inspired outfit.
The model, 20, looked elegant in a light pink $463 House of CB dress, which she accessorised with a drop pearl necklace and bangle.
A flattering tan accentuated Willow's toned arms, and her long brunette hair was styled naturally to fall just below her waist.
The social media influencers' family and friends praised her in the comments.
Her father's Today co-cost Sarah Abo wrote: "Gorgeous girl xx".
Willow's stepmother Jasmine Yarbrough, who married Karl in 2018, said the model looked like "a dream".
"So so so beautiful," another person said.
"Breathtaking. So is the scenery," one more person said.
Willow shares a striking resemblance to both her mother and father.
She is one of three children of Karl and Cassandra, a children's author, before the pair divorced in 2017 after 22 years of marriage.
The following February, the Today host announced his engagement to Jasmine and the couple married in a ceremony in Mexico that December.
They welcomed a daughter, Harper, in 2020.
The model's latest round of photos comes as she continues to share her worldwide travels with her 11,000 followers on social media.
In February, Willow was seen enjoying dining and shopping in Uruguay and gave fans a glimpse of breathtaking water views in St Tropez, France.
The 20-year-old resides in London, where she began studying for a degree in fashion at the prestigious London College of Fashion in 2023.
Willow is already making moves to follow her famous father into the spotlight.
She signed with Precision MGMT in 2021 and told Stellar that Karl "backs me 100 per cent as long as I'm happy."
"We all know I didn't get my fashionista gene from him,' she said.
Speaking to the publication, Karl encouraged his daughter's pursuit and said it's just the tip of the iceberg of her many wide-ranging interests.
"She doesn't go into anything blindly, especially the fashion world," he said.
"She's a strong, independent young woman and wants to pursue lots of things in life. We love her spirit."

Tragedy for Aussie activewear founder as beloved sister dies aged 17
The heartbroken founder of one of Australia's rising activewear brands has shared the devastating news of her younger sister's death, paying tribute to the 17-year-old she calls her 'soulmate' and 'warrior'. Justine Ramsay, a professional athlete and co-founder of Gia Active, revealed her sister, Giaan Ramsay, has passed away, describing her as 'too kind and too sensitive for this world'. In an emotional post on Instagram, the 27-year-old entrepreneur and runner from the Gold Coast, Queensland, described the pain of losing Giaan, who inspired the brand's name and its mission to champion mental health. 'My beautiful angel sister, I can't even believe I'm sitting here writing this, it still doesn't feel real that you are gone,' Justine wrote. 'Anyone who knows me knows my sister Giaan was my whole entire world. 'She was my light and my soul ... we understood each other on a level no one else will understand.' Justine Ramsay shared some childhood photos of herself and her sister, Giaan, on Instagram. Credit: Instagram While the exact circumstances surrounding Giaan's death have not been made public, Justine shared her belief her sister had been let down by the health system. 'She was failed by the medical system, and I will never stop fighting for her,' she wrote. 'They never allowed her to have a voice, so I will be her voice. 'I owe it to her to make sure no one else feels the same, because they failed my girl, and now I have to try to live without her.' Describing Giaan as 'loving, thoughtful and the funniest person I've ever met, selfless even in her darkest hours', Justine's tribute paints the picture of a young woman full of heart, humour, and creativity. 'She would make my belly laugh every day. 'She was so beautiful, we used to say she looked like a doll, because she was just perfect. In every way.' Giaan passed away at just 17 years old. The family is now raising funds through a GoFundMe campaign to reunite relatives from South Africa and cover funeral costs. The campaign, launched on July 30, has raised nearly $35,000 in a matter of days, with support pouring in from across the country. 'We love you, our beautiful Giaan,' Justine wrote on the page. 'You were an angel too kind for this world.' The sports brand shared the news of Giaan's passing on Instagram. Credit: Instagram In a recent behind-the-scenes video posted by Gia Active, Justine shared the deeply personal story behind the brand. She revealed she had been a runner since the age of six, living in activewear and dreaming of creating her own pieces, but a severe injury two years ago forced her out of sport for over a year and a half, leaving her feeling isolated. 'I just like lost who I was because all I've ever known is running,' she wrote. Gia Active became her way of turning pain into purpose. 'Gia is actually named after one of my beautiful sisters — Giaan,' she shared. 'She's a true warrior and someone who embodies perseverance and resilience like I've never witnessed before.' 'I want Gia Active to not only reflect my passion for sport and activewear, but to honour my sister and anyone else who has faced mental health battles.' The brand recently announced 5 per cent of proceeds from its latest restock will be donated to the Black Dog Institute, a leading organisation supporting mental health research and education.

'Everything I do and everything I am is because of her. 'She taught me strength, resilience, courage — and what's truly important in life. 'Forever 17. Rest in peace, my sweet girl.'

Ex-AFL star's bizarre stunt out the front of the MCG
Imitating the absurdity of magician David Blaine's antics, former AFL player and personality Daniel Gorringe has begun a 48-hour stint of being locked inside a glass box out the front of the MCG. The 33-year-old began the stunt at 3pm WST on Thursday ahead of the clash between Hawthorn and Collingwood, and intends to remain there for an entire two days. The former Gold Coast and Carlton ruck has become one of the biggest names in the footy world thanks to his widely popular podcast Dan Does Footy. It is the latest in a long list of wild punishments that Gorringe has put himself through this AFL season, including dying his hair blue, shaving his head and legally changing his first name to Richmond. Those bizarre stunts usually came at the cost of a self-imposed bet with his former team, Carlton, losing. But this one comes from a promotion with Hard Rated following a post to their Instagram asking how many likes it would take for Gorringe to be locked in the box. If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your . To find out more about how we use cookies, please see our Cookie Guide. Now the 26-game player is in the glass box with spectators coming to knock on the glass and watch the events that unfold on a live stream. During his podcast on Wednesday, Gorringe talked about the stunt saying he had misread the text from the brand. 'I thought 'would you want to be behind glass?' (was in a corporate box),' he said. 'It's very much a different behind glass experience than what I thought it was going to be.' Ex-AFL player Dan Gorringe has begun a wild stunt of staying in a glass box for 48-hours at the front of the MCG. Credit: Dan Does / YouTube Hour two in the stream and Gorringe is currently tackling the heavy issue of how to order a pizza to be delivered to inside the box. Gorringe was previously in the crosshairs of West Coast captain Oscar Allen, after agreeing to be egged if the Eagles were able to beat the Blues in round 14. He was saved after Carlton got up by 34 points.

Outback Wrangler Matt Wright's Top End, NT, home to be sold with pet crocodile
Outback Wrangler Matt Wright is selling his slice of tropical paradise — with some sharp-toothed extras. The wildlife wrangler-turned-TV-star has listed his designer rural escape at 124 Virginia Rd in Virginia, Northern Territory, throwing in his pet saltwater crocodile Spicy to sweeten the deal. The just under 8 acres property hit the market with a $1.39 million price guide. It features glass walls, open-plan entertaining zones, and Spicy the saltie living in a custom-built pen out back. In an Instagram tour, Wright gave fans a 'crackin'' guided walk-through of the home. He and wife Kaia transformed the house over the past nine years with an extensive renovation. 'If you really, really want the place ... I'll even leave you with Spicy,' Wright said with a laugh, before the massive croc launches from his pond with a splash. 'Whoa! Hey Spicy ... Look out.' From sweat and tears to tropical luxury Wright built the home from the ground up, describing it in the video as a product of 'hot sweat and tears'. The result is, according to a stilted, architectural retreat that feels like a minimalist treehouse suspended in the mahogany canopy. Inside, the home boasts soaring ceilings, polished concrete floors, a chef's kitchen, designer finishes, and enormous wraparound verandahs capturing the breeze and bushland views. Downstairs is set up for guests or teens, while the backyard features a croc-safe viewing area of Spicy's enclosure. 'This is it – crackin' place,' Wright said. 'If you're interested in a beautiful rural place out here in Virginia,' Wright said at the end of the clip, 'contact the lads at Ray White and have a yarn to them. 'They've got more photos, more footage, you know, all that sh*t.' Reality fame and real-life fallout Wright rose to national prominence as the star of Outback Wrangler, an adrenaline-fuelled reality show following his work as a chopper pilot and animal relocator in Australia's wildest corners. He is now before the courts over the 2022 helicopter crash that killed his co-star Chris Wilson. NT Police allege he attempted to pervert the course of justice following the crash, which also left pilot Sebastian Robinson permanently injured. Wright has pleaded not guilty to all charges. No open homes are listed as of Thursday. Whether the buyer keeps the croc or not remains to be seen.
