Imogen Anthony risks a major wardrobe malfunction as she dons racy Joan of Arc costume at Australian Fashion Week
The model and former girlfriend of radio personality Kyle Sandilands took to Instagram on Tuesday to share an array of pictures and videos from the annual fashion event, which is being held at Sydney 's Carriageworks.
Imogen, 34, showed a fair bit of skin as she posed up a storm in the risque ensemble, which was made of a chainmail material.
Showing off her killer figure, ample side cleavage and trim pins, the flimsy dress scooped down her lower back and cut her upper thigh in a high slit, risking a major wardrobe malfunction.
She finished off the look with a silver head piece similar to the one worn by the patron saint of France, as well as a dramatic cat eye and strappy, silver heels.
'Joan of ARQ,' she captioned the piece, adding: '(rip iykyk)'
She went on: 'A big mention to @alvi_chung who created and curated @wings_independent_fashion for the independent creatives and artists who drive this industry from the underground.
'I am so honoured to witness and take part in something which seemed to create a place for people who sometimes don't know where they stand within the fashion community,' she wrote.
'Everyone should be able to experience the wonder, not just those with an attractive name within the scene… I really hope it continues and many more are inspired to create.'
This isn't Imogen's first look that had heads turning at Australian Fashion Week.
She stunned onlookers on Monday when she stepped out in a very racy, bejewelled top, giving the illusion of being topless in the barely-there frock.
She flaunted her figure with metal nipple pasties, custom-made by designer Ana Jol, which were interconnected with strings of pearls.
The stunning display came with a matching headpiece that sat against her forehead and ran down the bridge of her nose with more beautiful strings of pearls.
Imogen turned the medieval-style ensemble into a modern chic look as she paired it with baggy blue jeans from the controversial Dolls Kill, which hung low on her hips.
She then covered up against the cold with a grey coat from Camilla and Marc before accessorising with a pair of pointed heels by Amina Muaddi.
The brunette beauty highlighted her piercing eyes with a cat-eye liner look, leaving her dark tresses hanging over her barely concealed chest.
Imogen and her ex-boyfriend Kyle Sandilands were together for eight years.
The media titan announced his shock split from the Big Brother VIP star on The Kyle and Jackie O Show in November 2019.
She has since moved on with new partner Harley Jones, with the pair tying the knot during a Vegas wedding in 2022.
Speaking to Daily Mail Australia at AFW in 2024, the social media star ruled out a 'real-life wedding' and said the couple won't be starting a family anytime soon.
'No, I'm unconventional. That's how I roll,' she said. 'I'm not in any rush for anything like that. I'm in no rush to have kids.'
However, she didn't completely rule out the idea of babies in the future.
'Maybe one day. It's not out of the picture, out of the question. I'm just not, I ain't racing. I'm good,' she added.
Meanwhile, Kyle has since moved on with wife Tegan Kynaston, whom he married in 2023.
The couple also share a son, Otto, who they welcomed into the world in August 2022.

Playing Gracie Darling review – derivative occult mystery series fails to cast a spell
The title of Miranda Nation's new mystery series, Playing Gracie Darling, reminded me of Donald Crombie's 1986 adaptation of Playing Beatie Bow – another Australian production that links a young woman's name with a children's game that defies the seemingly immutable laws of the universe. Where Beatie Bow was transported from the past to modern Sydney via a chant, 'playing Gracie Darling' involves youngsters communicating with the spirit world, where Darling may have been taken after a seance performed in a creaky old shack went terribly wrong. Because of course it does! It's a seance. In a shack. Just once I'd love to see a 'talk to the dead' scene involving Ouija boards and the like go swimmingly well, a bunch of spirit-communicators leaving the event with ear-to-ear smiles and newfound joie de vivre. But of course, the seance in this reasonably well-staged but very codified and derivative series involves the Ouija board catching on fire and the titular girl (Kristina Bogic) spitting out demonic-sounding dialogue, before disappearing from the face of the Earth in 1997. Jumping many years ahead, we follow Gracie's former bestie Joni (Morgana O'Reilly), who attended the seance and is now a child psychologist. In the first episode (this review encompasses the first three of six – all that was made available to the media) Joni receives a phone call, informing her that another girl has gone missing from that very same shack, where a bunch of kids were playing Gracie Darling. Ah yes, the past comes back to haunt! This moment establishes the show's very genre-ified dialogue, via lines such as 'It's happening again'. Similarly tired-sounding language is sprinkled by the writers (Nation and Anya Beyersdorf) throughout the series and delivered by the poker-faced cast. Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning Occult activities becoming a form of adolescent recreation thematically aligns this show with Danny and Michael Philippou's excellent horror film Talk To Me, in which teenagers pass around an embalmed severed hand and channel a cranky spirit. But the Philippou brothers did something interesting by associating occult practices with other forms of recreational risk-taking, implying that consulting spirits and taking hits from a bong are different forms of the same ancient desire: to transcend the realm of the ordinary (which is exactly what I told my mother when she caught me smoking pot as a teenager). In Playing Gracie Darling, the occult element just feels cribbed from a cobweb-covered playbook. Likewise for the correlation between a core mystery and the troubled past of the protagonist, who, in order to fix a contemporary problem, must address something unresolved inside themselves – an oldie but a goodie. Another key player is local cop Jay (Rudi Dharmalingam, from the ABC's sublime drama Wakefield), who was also part of that seance – because small town, because narratively convenient. The supporting cast also includes Dame Harriet Walter as Joni's mum, Pattie, and Celia Pacquola as Ruth Darling, whose daughter Frankie is the latest person to disappear. Another very familiar element in this show concerns a situation brewing in the background that affects the local community, which serves as a scaffold for the main plot. Recently, in Last Days of the Space Age, there was an ongoing workers dispute at a power plant, and in The Family Next Door, a controversial real estate property development. Here, it's some recently constructed wind turbines which are disrupting the flight paths of birds and – some citizens believe – triggering health issues in the local community. Sign up to Saved for Later Catch up on the fun stuff with Guardian Australia's culture and lifestyle rundown of pop culture, trends and tips after newsletter promotion Atmospherically, Playing Gracie Darling is directed assuredly by Jonathan Brough (whose recent work includes Bay of Fires, Rosehaven and The End). And it is quite well acted, with a particularly strong, grounding lead performance from Morgana O'Reilly, who had a small but memorable role as a hotel employee in The White Lotus season three. But the writing in this series comes across as very self-conscious and overall the show feels fusty and antiquated. Playing Gracie Darling is on Paramount+ now.

MasterChef Australia winner Laura Sharrad reveals the 'cruel' way she learned of her victory - and you didn't see it on TV
MasterChef Australia: Back To Win concluded in a thrilling grand finale on Tuesday night. But winner Laura Sharrad, who beat Callum Hann, found out how she had won in what many viewers have called a 'cruel' process. The show depicted the chef finding out the good news on camera, but in reality, she was told quietly by producers. What's more, both Laura and Callum had to film scenes where they gave a winning speech - and a losing one - to keep the outcome secret. 'It's funny because the first time I did this [MasterChef] there were two endings, so I kind of knew what was going to happen,' Sharrad told on Wednesday. 'It's like, "One of you will go first, one of you wins first, you do a winning speech, and then the confetti gets picked up, we reload the confetti gun, and then you do round two,"' she continued. 'And then you obviously do a losing speech as well. So a bit of acting is required. My acting skills aren't great. We're cooks, we'll never make it as actors. Let's be real. 'It's a very, very weird thing, but I think it's the best thing to do to protect the show and nothing leaking.' Instead of learning the result with all the fanfare viewers see on TV, Laura was told the result in a 'very casual conversation' with Callum and a few producers in the room. Many fans watching at home were less than impressed with the result - with scores of furious viewers taking to social media to slam the result as 'biased' and 'rigged'. Several viewers have also complained of being blocked by the official MasterChef Australia page on X after sharing their anger over Callum's victory. 'My disappointment levels with this season of MasterChef are beyond rigged from the start. Callum is the most creative and talented chef and was extremely ripped off,' wrote one raging commentator. 'Callum the people's champion,' another said, while one more wrote, 'Hopefully next season will be no more biased judging.' 'Obviously scripted - Callum was the best,' someone else said, with another commenting, 'Callum ROBBED.' Instead of learning the result with all the fanfare viewers see on TV, Laura learned the result in a 'very casual conversation' with Callum (pictured) and a few producers in the room A handful of viewers complained that they were 'censored' for trying to share their views on MasterChef Australia's X page. 'Did you get blocked by #masterchefau after tonight's episode?' asked one person, attaching a poll that showed 37 per cent of the 29 respondents taking part had been blocked as of Tuesday night. 'Lollll they blocked me too hahahahhahaha,' wrote someone else. 'Wow, blocked by @masterchefau because of a comment about the final result. A sentiment shared by many. Trying to hide from the negative backlash,' one fan said. When approached for comment by Daily Mail, an ESA spokesperson said: 'MasterChef Australia is dedicated to creating a safe and respectful space on social media that protects the well-being of contestants. 'Users are welcome to share their opinions, but comments that include bullying, defamatory language, and personal attacks will not be tolerated.' Laura went up against Callum in a nail-biting final episode that saw two of the show's most beloved contestants duke it out over two courses. By the end of the episode, Laura emerged as the winner, and walked away with a $250,000 cash prize and the title of MasterChef.
