David Jones Spring/Summer Fashion Launch

The annual David Jones Spring/Summer Fashion show brings with it a world of glitz and glam.

Of course, all your favourite Australian celebs poured into Sydney’s Fox Studios to see what the department store will bring as the winter chill dispels.

But there was undoubtedly a frosty vibe between more than a few A-listers as the models took to the catwalk…

The final dress rehearsal had tensions running high, as DJ’s ambassador Jesinta Campbell appeared to have a run in with fellow model Jason Dundas.

And the drama didn’t end there as Bachelor couple Tim and Anna enjoyed the view from the front row, while X-Factor’s Guy Sebastian and wife Jules were forced to spectate from the second!

Australia’s sweetheart Tessa James braved the rain in this weather-appropriate Burberry dress with statement collar.

Uh oh… The final dress rehearsal seemed to bring out a bit of tension between models Jesinta Campbell and Jason Dundas.

But the 25-year-old Miss Universe winner and the TV presenter were able to put their differences aside when it came to crunch time.

There to support his girlfriend was AFL star Buddy Franklin, looking dapper in a steel grey suit.

Bachelor lovebirds Tim and Anna took the top spot in the front row, looking like they’d stepped straight out of a high-fashion catalogue.

Meanwhile, Guy Sebastian and his style blogger wife were relegated to the second row.

At 15-weeks pregnant, Gemma Ward totally stole the show! Speaking to The Daily Telegraph of her decision to walk while expecting, the blonde beauty said, “I’m really doing this so that my baby can have a first catwalk show early! I just think it is a really lovely way to celebrate a period in what some women go through and it is nice to celebrate all the different ways your body changes.”

It must have been havoc backstage with all of Jesinta Campbell’s quick changes, but on the runway she was nothing but composed. Check out some runway highlights in the next slide!
