Olivia Molly Rogers had her very own Princess Diana moment on Wednesday as she made her first public appearance since confirming her split from husband Justin McKeone.
The former Miss Universe, 30, who announced her separation on Tuesday, turned heads at the Bianca and Bridgett Roccisano Spring/Summer collection launch on the Gold Coast wearing a glamorous black cocktail dress.
The dress quickly drew comparisons to the iconic ‘revenge dress’ worn by the Diana to an event at the Serpentine Gallery in London in 1994, shortly after her husband Prince Charles – now King Charles III – admitted to adultery in a television interview.
There is no suggestion of a third party in Olivia and Justin’s break-up.
