Vanessa Valladares proves why she’s the new queen of Australian Fashion Week

Vanessa Valladares topped off a triumphant few days at Australian Fashion Week on Friday by rocking a casual chic ensemble for the St. Agni runway show.

The model, 25, was among the celebrity guests at the showcase, which was held at the Carriageworks venue in Redfern, Sydney.

She served cool-girl style in an off-white longsleeve and loose-fitting pants, which she teamed with black shoes and a designer handbag.

The Byron Bay socialite opted for a dewy makeup look, drawing attention to her striking features, and styled her cropped brunette hair in effortless curls. 

Vanessa’s arrival at Fashion Week on Monday marked her first public appearance since her split from Hollywood actor Zac Efron around April.

The former waitress had been pictured jetting into Sydney on Sunday, after catching a domestic flight from Ballina Airport.

Zac, 33, had reportedly been introduced to Vanessa by her boss at Byron Bay’s General Store café in June last year, and the pair hit it off straight away.

Two months later, in August, Daily Mail Australia revealed the Baywatch star had cancelled his scheduled return flight to LA because he ‘didn’t really want to go back’.

Within weeks, the genetically blessed couple had moved in together in Byron Bay.

The lovebirds went on to confirm their relationship in September when they were spotted holding hands in public for the first time.

Vanessa would accompany her famous boyfriend as he travelled around Australia for various work projects from late 2020 to early 2021.

But it was revealed in April they had called it quits, with Zac’s close friend Kyle Sandilands announcing on his breakfast radio show: ‘I can confirm [the break-up], after speaking with him yesterday.’
