The cream of Sydney’s celebrity crop joined fashion industry insiders at the David Jones autumn/winter launch on Wednesday for a night of stars and style.

Dannii Minogue, Delta Goodrem, Megan Gale and Gracie Otto were present along with Anna Plunkett of Romance Was Born, Nicky and Simone Zimmermann and mother-and-daughter duo Carla Zampatti and Bianca Spender to watch the department store present the upcoming season’s collections.

Perhaps buoyed by the fact that it was Valentine’s this week, a theme of whimsy with romantic overtones ran through designers’ outfits, particularly in regards to colour, prints and patterns.

It was clear the Zimmermann sisters had florals on their mind, with Simone Zimmermann’s elegant wrap dress covered in a black-and-white floral motic, and Nicky Zimmermann’s lace babydoll top and dusky rose pants also featuring a botanical theme.

Bianca Spender took a turn to the dark side in a predominantly black jumpsuit, but instances of orange and red in the jumpsuit’s print lent a sense of fiery passion to the outfit. 

Meanwhile, Anna Plunkett of Romance Was Born channelled playful femininity in a fitted colour-blocked metallic dress paired with coral-hued hair – and a slick of bubblegum lipstick to finish her look off.
