Lara Bingle dazzles in a black Dion Lee dress worth $1990 as she makes a rare red carpet appearance at the Melbourne Fashion Festival

Lara Worthington (née Bingle) was practically dripping with elegance as she posed at the Melbourne Fashion Festival on Thursday.

The model, 33, looked nothing short of sensational in a black Dion Lee dress worth $1990, as she made a rare solo red carpet appearance at the star-studded event.

The mother-of-three – who only recently returned to her home country of Australia in January – dressed her svelte figure in the slinky black gown, which featured flesh-flashing cut-outs around her décolletage and waist.

The long-sleeved number draped down to her ankles, and she teamed the frock with a pair of strappy black heels.

Lara whisked her hair into a stylish up-do, clearly to draw attention to her exquisite make-up.

She emphasised her striking blue eyes with a rim of black eyeliner, yet softened the look with a stunning beige eyeshadow.

She opted for a dewy glow and highlighter on her already flawless skin, and painted her nails with a pretty brown polish.

Other stars in attendance at the event included Victoria Lee and Rebecca Harding.

Lara seems to appear on the red carpet less and less in recent years, and is notoriously private when it comes to her romance with husband Sam Worthington.

The pair married in 2014, and share sons Rocket and Racer together.

The loved-up couple also welcomed their third child, a baby boy, in June last year, but have yet to reveal his name. 

Lara only recently returned to Australia in January, after being based in the US with her family for years.

According to Who magazine last year, the couple decided to relocate back to their native Australia for an ‘extended stay.’

The publication reported that the pair will be temporarily moving Down Under while Sam performs in the Sydney Theatre Company’s production, Appropriate.
