Bec Judd, Christian Wilkins stun at Crown Sydneys opulent summer launch party

A string of huge Australian celebrities attended a lavish party in Sydney to celebrate the start of the summer season on Thursday night.

Crown Sydney hosted an intimate event on its pool deck to kick off the festivities, with Melbourne WAG Rebecca Judd and her husband Chris leading the star-studded arrivals.

The mum-of-four stunned in a neon yellow mini-dress, which she paired with a cream handbag and matching pointed heels.

Bec wore her blonde hair in her signature loose waves and opted for natural make-up to complete her summer-inspired look.

Her husband Chris went for a causal poolside look, wearing grey jeans and a blue denim shirt with a pair of white sneakers as he posed alongside his influencer wife.

The 40-year-old took to social media to share a photo from inside the wildly opulent event, showing her sipping on a tequila cocktail while relaxing on the rooftop destination.

The famous couple weren’t the only stars celebrating the change of season at Crown, with Christian Wilkins also attending the bash, which was sponsored by Patron tequila.

The model, who recently hit headlines for wearing a naked dress to the 2023 ARIA awards, opted for a pair of black leather pants and a sparkly silver top.

Wilkins finished his party look with sultry make-up, tying back his long blonde locks into a sleek bun.

He also made a statement with his footwear, wearing the iconic Maison Margiela Tabis shoes, known for divisive split-toe design.

Guests at the bash, hosted by Today Show’s Karl Stefanovic, sipped on tequila cocktails and dined on food from four of Crown’s famous restaurants, including a’Mare, Woodcut, Nobu and Oncore by Clare Smyth.

Dishes included the “fancy” fried chicken and caviar served at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding in 2018, as well as tequila pasta and fresh sashimi.

Stefanovic, who was in attendance with wife Jasmine, wore a blue suit jacket with black pants for his official duties – which included announcing Crown’s huge Taylor Swift ticket giveaway.

As official sponsors of the Eras Tour, Crown is giving away 55 four-pack passes to the sold out Sydney shows in February 2024, an opportunity Swifties will be sure to check out.

Meanwhile Jasmine looked effortlessly chic in her summer ensemble, opting for a simple black top with spotted pants and a timeless Chanel handbag.

Other notable guests included award-winning Australian fashion designer Rebecca Vallance, who wore one of her own dresses for the occasion.
