She is known as Australia’s Kaftan Queen.
But Camilla Franks looked almost unrecognisable as she promoted her clothing label on Instagram on Wednesday.
The 49-year-old looked radiant and wrinkle-free as she revealed how her brand has changed since its launch 20 years ago.
She had long brunette locks and appeared to be showing off a fresh set of veneers as she flashed a million-dollar smile.
‘It all started with a kaftan, but we have come a long way, darling, from 20 years ago,’ Camilla said.
‘For over a decade I’ve evolved the romanticism and the bohemian nature of the printed kaftan into structured silhouettes and fashion pieces that appeal to our colourful collective.’

Camilla’s transformation comes after she celebrated a milestone in her recovery from cancer.
In 2018, Franks was diagnosed with stage-three breast cancer just a few months after giving birth to her first child Luna.
In 2023, the celebrated designer had her five-year cancer all-clear.
Speaking in a wide-ranging interview with The Saturday Telegraph, the businesswoman candidly spoke about her gruelling diagnosis, and how after her difficulties, she can now weather any storm.
‘Connection, honesty and sharing my story with others has been one of my greatest sources of strength on this journey, and true connection only comes from vulnerability,’ she said.
‘Since my recovery from breast cancer, I have learnt to surrender myself to the universe and whatever life throws at me, because I now know that I can weather the storm.’
After a gruelling six months of chemotherapy, a preventative double mastectomy, and the removal of her fallopian tubes, the mother-of-one said that she is ‘strong’ and a ‘fighter’.
Her goal was always to receive a five-year all-clear, so she planned on celebrating with her family.

Despite her hardships, Camilla said having cancer has taught her a lot about herself and her place in this world, and that she is the ‘happiest’ she’s ever been.
‘Sometimes you have to let go of who you were so that you become the person you need to be,’ she said.
‘You can’t hang on to trivial things, especially during those tough times. Acceptance has been one of my greatest tools on this journey.’
She added you ‘only appreciate dawn when you’ve experienced real darkness’.

The couple first met in London over 25 years ago, but reunited and began a relationship in 2016. However, they split in 2023.
