Pip Edwards made an appearance at the Carla Zampatti runway show at Australian Fashion Week on Monday.

And the fashion designer had a brush with royalty at the fashion event as she sat near Queen Mary‘s nephew Count Nikolai of Denmark.

The 45-year-old was seen chatting to her best mate Jackie O Henderson while sitting just two seats away from Nikolai, 25.

Nikolai, who has launched a modelling career since losing his title in 2022, sat front row at the Carla Zampatti show on day one of the event.

Alongside him was his girlfriend Benedikte Thoustrup, with the pair looking happy together after fielding split rumours late last year.

Pip flaunted her fit figure in a backless halter top that showed off lots of skin as she chatted to guests while seated in the front row.

However, the socialite didn’t appear to be impressed by the Married At First Sight stars attending the fashion event.

Pip looked the other way as she walked past Adrian Araouzou and Tony Mojanovski after arriving at the show.

She carried a black and white fur jacket as she rushed past the reality stars.

The designer wore her hair in beachy waves and chose a bronzed makeup palette with a nude lipstick.

Meanwhile, Nikolai looked dapper at the event in a navy blue suit paired with a light blue dress shirt and dark brown tie.

His girlfriend Benedikte stunned in a strapless, black peplum dress in a maxi length, along with camel-toned heels.

The 24-year-old chose a natural, barely there makeup look and wore her caramel locks down in waves.

Earlier, the Danish It-girl had arrived wearing a beige trench coat that perfectly matched her shoes.

The couple looked relaxed and happy as they sat together watching the show, and exchanged loving looks while posing together before the runway show.

Late last year, the pair were rumoured to have split after Nikolai and Benedikte had not shared to social media any photos of them together for months.

Benedikte, who is the founder of Danish hair beauty company BénéSoie, had posted several glamorous modelling shots to Instagram – and Nikolai had been absent from all of them.

However, it was clear all was well as the genetically blessed couple cuddled up at the hottest event on the Aussie fashion calendar.
