The model’s wedding to internet and property tycoon Jim Clark was a surprisingly laid-back affair.
Aussie model and television host Kristy Hinze, 29, said “I do” to her billionaire love Jim Clark, 65, in a star-studded tropical island ceremony.
Wearing a stunning Oscar de la Renta gown and surrounded by a who’s who of powerful business names and home-grown Aussie talent, Kristy mirrored her exquisite surroundings when she walked down the aisle.
“It is a very relaxed-feel wedding, and Jim and I are both calm and just enjoying each other — and being with our close family and friends,” Kristy said of her three-day nuptials with Netscape founder Jim.
Hollywood stars and Woman’s Day‘s own fashion director Jo Ferguson were among the 120 guests who descended on the British Virgin Islands to share in Kristy and Jim’s joy.
A twilight cocktail party at Virgin founder and wedding guest Sir Richard Branson’s private Necker Island kicked off the celebrations, preceded by a family visit to Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.
The following morning, guests — who had been advised of a “tropical chic” dress code — were ferried to the nearby Little Dix Bay Resort on Virgin Gorda, where the simple beach ceremony was held.
There was never any doubt Kristy would make a beautiful bride, but she still managed to draw gasps from the crowd, when they caught sight of her hot-off-the-runway strapless gown.
