Jesinta Franklin, Anna Heinrich, and Pip Edwards shine at Women of the Year Awards while Brittany Higgins and David Sharaz avoid red carpet before Lisa Wilkinson’s defamation trial imminent.

Brittany Higgins was a vision in white as she arrived for the Marie Claire Women of the Year awards at the MCA in Sydney on Tuesday night. 

The former government advisor and her partner David Sharaz appeared a tad somber as they made their way inside the venue. 

Opting for an ethereal look, Brittany chose a strapless skater dress with floral lace throughout. 

Over the top, she wore a sheer shawl that featured the same flower pattern embroidered along the edges. 

Brittany opted for a clean makeup look with a touch of blush and a plum lipstick, while wearing her hair pulled off her face.

David kept things classic in a navy blue suit worn with brown dress shoes and a grey tie. 

Mingling with guests outside the venue, Brittany enjoyed a glass of bubbly and chatted to other attendees. 

She appeared to relax as the night went on but had skipped the red carpet, opting not to be photographed by waiting cameras.

Lehrmann has always denied the allegations. His criminal trial collapsed due to juror misconduct last October and a retrial was abandoned due to concerns over Higgins’ mental health.

Also turning heads at the event was Jestinta Franklin who was resplendent in a slinky cream silk gown.

The footy WAG’s dressed was ruched at the waist and reached ankle length, as well as having exaggerated sleeves.

For added interest, the stunning gown had bunching at the back in the form of a gathered sash. 

She added a pair of simple black heels to the high fashion look and kept her accessories minimal, opting for a ring and dainty earrings. 

Jesinta wore her brunette locks slick and off her face, while choosing a peachy makeup look with a pink lipstick.

Pip Edwards was chic in black, opting for an abstract, loose top over wide legged trousers for a truly high fashion look. 

The designer carried a red fabric purse and chose a glamorous makeup look with a glossy pink lip, while wearing her blonde bob in a loose do. 

Anna Heinrich also kept things dark, wearing a fitted black maxi dress that showed off her growing baby bump.

The reality star was absolutely glowing, adding a pair of metallic heels and a stack of gold accessories that complimented the gold elements on the bust of her dress.
