Baz Luhrmann paid tribute to his homeland and to one of his epic films at the 2024 Met Gala in New York.
The director was wearing a small detail that harked back to his 2008 drama Australia on the red carpet.
The 61-year-old had on a $2000 gold and diamond necklace made by Kununurra, Western Australia jeweller Frauke Bolten-Boshammer.
It is made in the shape of a boab tree, native to the region.
Owner of Kimberley Fine Diamonds, Bolten-Boshammer gifted Baz the bauble when he was making Australia in the area all those years ago.
