Sydney is officially back open for business!
After COVID put a long hiatus of red-carpet events, the Aussie A-list were out in full force last night for the highly anticipated Gold Dinner, which raises much needed funds for the Sydney Children’s Hospital Foundation.
Held at Sydney airport, names like Chris Hemsworth, Elsa Pataky, Liam Hemsworth, Rose Bryne, Hamish Blake, Zoe Foster Blake and Julie Bishop led the A-list glitz and glamour.
The 600 VIP guests were treated to oyster and caviar bars upon arrival, while a decadent Italian menu courtesy of Crown Sydney’s a’Mare restaurant and visionary head chef Alessandro Pavoni was on offer for the main feast.
Entertainment for the night included performances by Ben Lee, Masked Wolf and Sneaky Sound System.
