Roxy Jacenko steps out wearing a staggering $1.5 MILLION worth of diamonds at Sydney speaking event
Roxy Jacenko flaunted her wealth on Friday as she stepped out at the Ivy Ballroom in Sydney for her In Conversation seminar.
The PR maven, 45, decked herself out in diamonds as she attended the speaking event, ensuring she was the centre of attention in an angelic white dress.
With her blonde tresses pulled back in an artful high pony, Roxy clasped a string of diamonds around her neck before adding glittering accessories, believed to be worth a staggering $1.5 million.
She slipped on a gold Versace watch which retails for a jaw-dropping $2,320 and stood out against her white Simkhai mini dress worth $870.
Roxy then stacked her other wrist with three bracelets - a gold and platinum bangle studded with gems, and a diamond chain, worth over a cool million all up.

The socialite completed her bejewelled look with simple diamond studs, a gold ring on one hand and her massive diamond wedding ring on the other.
Roxy's lavish display comes after she slammed working from home arrangements, describing it as a 'lazy' work mentality.
Speaking at her exclusive In Conversation event in Sydney, the PR dynamo said the key to a good business operation is interacting and networking - in person.
'We stopped picking up the phone, stopped going to things, stopped networking altogether. Zoom became an easy way of doing business,' Roxy told the crowd.
'It's a lazy way of doing business. The fact is, people want an experience, they want a memory. We need to start doing that networking again.'
Roxy runs a PR firm and Ministry of Talent, a talent agency which represents influencers like Costeen Hatzi and reality TV star Ash Pollard.
She believes as working from home arrangement continues, employees are increasingly forgetting the importance of being around people.
'Everything has become digital, but people want the touch-and-feel experience. This is why I am doing this (seminar), there is an importance in being around people,' she explained.

'We lost that connection during Covid. We became lazy. Instead of going to a face-to-face meeting you would have a meeting over Zoom or Teams.'
'I get to an end result because I do it face-to-face. People want to be treated like real people, they want to belong. It's about community,' she added.
'We want to see a familiar face, to see a connection. So much more comes from face-to-face than staring at a screen. It's s**t on Zoom, it doesn't have the same connection.'
She went on to describe a recent business meeting with an investment banker in Singapore.
When she walked into the company's office there were no employees at their desks because everyone was working from home.
She said it made her think twice about working with the company, and in turn, they lost her business.
'When you walk into our MOT office, it's light and bright, there's orchards and music, There's a vibe!' she said.
WFH became the norm for white-collar workers during the Covid lockdowns from 2020 - 2022, and has since become entrenched in many industries, with more than a third of Australians now doing their job at home.
Some companies are pushing to get staff back into the office more often in the belief it is a more efficient way of working, but the Productivity Commission recently concluded the opposite.
