Sydney socialite shocks with daring display on European vacation
Dina Broadhurst has never been one to shy away from flaunting her slender form on social media. The Sydney socialite, 48, did just that again this week while on an idyllic getaway in Spain. Dina took to Instagram on Friday to document her trip to the Spanish 'party island' of Ibiza. The 'nude artist' left little to the imagination as she snapped some mirror selfies before heading out for a day of fun in the sun. While she may have wanted to hide her face in the racy pics, the same could not be said for the rest of her genetically blessed frame. 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. One photo showed a topless Dina standing in her hotel shower with her phone raised to obscure her face. She also had her arms strategically placed over her naked breasts, with the rest of her trim form clad only in a pair of multi-coloured side-tie bikini bottoms. A second photo dialled up the incognito factor, with Dina zooming in on her bronzed and toned torso. With her arm covering her 'assets', Dina also showed off her enviably lithe legs. The racy pics were coupled with an array of photos that showed Dina trying on a range of outfits, and she captioned the images: 'Island attire.' The post was met with a flurry of fire and love heart emojis from followers, with many gushing over Dina's beauty. 'Gorgeous,' one swooned, before another questioned, 'How do you do it?' The racy pics were tame compared to Dina's recent post, which was possibly her raunchiest photo yet. While many would be content to snap a bathroom selfie in front of a mirror, Dina went one step further – stripping completely nude to pose on a toilet. The shocking image showed Dina, her face obscured by the bright flash of her phone's camera, sitting on the commode with black lacy underwear pulled down to her thighs. Dina's thin frame was on full display in the bizarre selfie, as the socialite showed off her trim and toned pins. She shared a second image, the same as the first, but with a gold effect on the borders. Captioning the bizarre display, Dina wrote: 'Oui Oui Golden & Oui Oui Fr,' adding toilet and red love heart emojis.

The society soirée of the summer! Royals and aristocrats don their finest tartan for Greek shipping heiress's lavish 30th birthday bash in Scottish castle
It appears that 'the world's most eligible single' is now off the market as Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece has found love again after splitting from artistocrat Peregrine Pearson. The 28-year-old socialite and model, who is King Charles ' goddaughter, was part of an exclusive guest list for Greek shipping heiress Electra Niarchos's 30th birthday party in Scotland this weekend. Princess Olympia opted to wear a sleeveless tartan mini-dress with a spiked tiara in a nod to the event's 'Tartan Punk Creatures' theme while partying the night away with her new boyfriend, Argentinian businessman Martin Pacanowski. The daughter of Prince Pavlos and Princess Marie-Chantal, named Tatler's 'most eligible single' in 2023, was first linked to the dashing hotelier last March - after Olympia and Peregrine ended their three-year relationship. Peregrine, who is the son of Viscount Cowdray and among Britain's most eligible men, has since found love with American actress, the Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner. At the time, The Daily Mail's Richard Eden reported that Olympia and Martin have 'known each other for a very long time and get on extremely well' - and sparks were certainly flying between the two at Electra's Scottish birthday celebrations. Fresh from their recent holiday in Greece with Olympia's family, the couple were inseparable at Electra's 30th birthday festivities as the who's who of European aristocracy and fashion royalty wore kilts and spiked chokers for a night of punk partying. Held at the historic Barnbougle Castle just outside Edinburgh, the party's most high-profile attendees included Jemma Kidd - the model ex-wife of the Earl of Mornington - fashion darling Camille Rowe and Russian art collector and ex-wife of Roman Abramovich, Dasha Zhukova. The castle, on the edge of the Firth of Forth, is owned by the aristocratic Rosebery family and once belonged to the eccentric 5th Earl of Rosebery - a former Prime Minister who famously kept parrots, slept in a tent, and entertained Winston Churchill. With its wood-panelled halls, grand turrets and dramatic sea views, it offered the perfect setting for a decadent night of high society mischief. The birthday girl Electra - daughter of billionaire art collector Philip Niarchos - embraced the theme in a midriff-baring tartan co-ord with fluted sleeves, a dramatic train and spiked neck collar. She was joined by all her siblings, including older brother Theo Niarchos and his fiancee Camille, the French-American model and fashion darling, who paired a yellow tartan mini with YSL's towering Bianca platform heels and a vintage fur stole. Dasha, 44, the Russian-born art collector and fashion investor, flew in with her husband Stavros Niarchos III, Electra's brother and a fixture of the international jet set. Dasha, formerly married to ex-Chelsea FC owner Abramovich, wore a backless tartan gown and giggled while posing for pictures with Italian aristocrat Bianca Brandolini, 38. Bianca posted photos from the party on Instagram, with the caption: 'She said "tart it up". So we did. Happiest birthday my Electra Niarchos, you really punked us.' She later posed with jewellery designers Noor Fares and Electra's sister Eugenie inside a tartan-draped marquee lit by strobes, where guests danced into the early hours. Bianca with Electra as the Scottish castle was transformed for the birthday's 'Tartan Punk Creatures' theme. The daughter of billionaire art collector Philip Niarchos - picked a midriff-baring tartan co-ord with fluted sleeves, a dramatic train and spiked neck collar. Also in the crowd was Flynn Busson - son of supermodel Elle Macpherson and financier Arpad Busson - who wore green tartan trousers and a black suit jacket. He was joined by his dad and his dad's girlfriend, the former model and beauty entrepreneur Jemma Kidd - sister of Nineties catwalk queen, Jodie Kidd. Guests embraced the theme with punk veils, studded chokers, leather corsets, chainmail, and more tartan than a Highland wedding. Fashion designer Peter Dundas - known for dressing Madonna, Beyonce and Kim Kardashian - wore a custom kilt and metallic body armour, while socialites layered lace, fishnet and PVC with plaid skirts and harnesses. Olympia's brother, Achileas of Greece, was joined by a crew of sharply dressed aristocrats in mix-and-match tartan, sporrans and sunglasses. Inside the castle, tartan tents, tartan walls, tartan tablecloths - and of course, tartan outfits - set the scene for a night of unfiltered revelry. Olympia was first spotted with her Argentinian beau at a London party last March, when the then-rumoured couple were photographed arm-in-arm together on the red carpet. However, she was also linked to celebrity chef Thomas Straker a few months prior in November 2023 when they were spotted leaving Olympia's Notting Hill home together. The Daily Mail's Richard Eden reported that Olympia and Martin have 'known each other for a very long time and get on extremely well' - and sparks were certainly flying between the two at Electra's Scottish birthday celebrations. Here, they are seen attending a London party last March Thomas, 35, whose cooking videos went viral on social media during the pandemic, shares two daughters with his actress wife Davina Pownall after the couple tied the knot in Wiltshire in 2015. At the time, MailOnline reported news of Thomas's alleged infidelity had left Davina 'devastated' according to friends of the couple. Before making her relationship with Martin - whose family owns the luxurious CasaSur hotel chain in Argentina - Olympia dated the son and heir of Michael Pearson, 4th Viscount Cowdray - whose family has a reputed £224million fortune - for three years. Peregrine's father owns a significant portion of the Pearson media empire as well as the 16,500-acre Cowdray Park estate in West Sussex. It is home to Cowdray Park polo club, where Princes William and Harry have played. Having moved away from her former family home in Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, Olympia now lives in Notting Hill with her sausage dog, Echo, who she adopted during the coronavirus lockdown.

Australian socialite Eileen 'Red' Bond is farewelled during catholic requiem
Iconic Australian socialite Eileen 'Red' Bond has been remembered as 'wonderful, exuberant, loyal' mother and friend during a catholic requiem mass held in WA. The former wife of entrepreneur Alan Bond was celebrated on Monday morning in an 80-minute ceremony held at Fremantle's St Patrick's Basilica, her childhood church. Bond's casket, along with the church altar, was festooned with red roses and pink orchids, a dramatic and vibrant backdrop for the celebration of a similarly well-lived life. Bond's eldest son John, a West Australian businessman, said his devoutly catholic mother could be best summed up with a stream of 'F' words – faith, family, friends and fun. He spoke briefly of his father, the disgraced businessman Alan who built a property, brewing and media empire before it all came cashing down in the eighties while recalling the circumstances of his parent's introduction. Eileen Teresa Hughes had been all of 16 when she'd fallen for the motorbike-riding high school dropout at dancing lessons in Fremantle. Son John – and a wedding – Eileen's only marriage – would follow a year later in 1955. By age 21 Eileen had welcomed two more children, Craig and Susanne. Youngest child Jody (Fewster) would arrive years later after doctors informed Eileen she was unlikely to have any more children. Eileen's famously fiery temperament was referenced just once, by her son, when he recalled the unravelling of the Bond's four-decade-long marriage due to 'dad's behaviour'. That behaviour would spur Eileen to 'cut the legs off dad's suit pants and throw them out the window.' A keen swimmer, skier, horserider and dune-buggy driver during their marriage, life in the Bond household where Eileen was firmly at the tiller was a series of games, extraordinary parties and learning to party 'like the master', Eileen. 'The house was always open, the fun always on and the red wine and champagne flowing,' John Bond recalled. Not even school pick-up was permitted to be mundane with Eileen at the wheel of the family Bentley – and a miniature donkey in the back. During the Bond-backed 1983 triumphant America's Cup challenge and over four challenges, 'Red's' mothering extended as well to the yacht's crew. This was a woman who would win over America's snobbish yachting fraternity and be introduced to the sitting US president Ronald Reagan. So broad and diverse was Bond's circle of friends – 'exclusive was not a word (she) comprehended …' her eulogist offered – it would take three songs (Danny Boy, Take Me Home Country Roads, Somewhere Over the Rainbow) to screen a package of cherished family photographs to the St Patrick's congregation. In an attempt to explain the absence of a birth date on his mother's order of ceremonies booklet, Bond conceded Eileen's age had long been 'a closely guarded secret'. Even 'trusted staff were asked to leave the room' when his mother was required to give it. 'Red' would likely have cursed an online funeral register which gave it as June 4, 1937 – a date which made her 88 when she died on July 2 following a series of strokes. The faithful catholic never quite came to terms with a brother's vow of poverty after joining the seminary. She constantly attempted to fill brother Don's pockets with cash and hoped in vain to persuade him to pilfer a pair of 'good' shoes from their father's wardrobe. A second eulogist, a priest, recalled a woman who was an 'Australian icon' and 'like a red flame. Always radiant and warm, full of energy and passion to everyone around her, especially to her family and friends.' She was, he said: 'Humble, down to earth (with a) slightly larrikin nature who had a gift for getting along with anyone'. The priest reassured Eileen's surviving children, grandchildren and great-grand-children the family matriarch would now be ' … in heaven with God. Heaven help them.'
