Olympic gold medalist Emma McKeon and her boyfriend Cody Simpson recently turned heads at a star-studded Dior fashion event in Sydney.
The swimming sensation, 30, stunned in a a jaw-dropping ivory lace Dior plunging gown which highlighted her incredible figure.
The swimmer’s show-stopping look was complemented with delicate jewelry and the brand’s signature Lady Dior handbag as she smiled for cameras alongside her singer boyfriend Cody Simpson, 27.
The couple exuded old-Hollywood elegance, with Simpson looking every bit the dashing date in a classic black tuxedo.
The exclusive event, held under the radiant glow of Dior’s iconic golden motif, marked a major fashion moment for McKeonn who has been making waves not just in swimming but also in the style stakes.
Last month, the Olympic record-holder made headlines after a champagne mishap at the Melbourne Cup left her $10,000 Dior gown ruined.

She recently broke her silence on the gaffe which saw her become completely soaked in champagne.
The Aussie swimming champion was left red-faced on Derby Day at Flemington Racecourse when she got drenched while trying to do G.H. Mumm’s iconic ‘tap tap moment’.
She tapped the three-litre bottle with a sabre, only for the champagne to explode and completely soak her, rather than bursting high into the air as expected.
Emma’s lavish Christian Dior gown, which cost an estimated $10,000, was left covered with alcohol and she was photographed flashing a shocked expression at the awkward gaffe.
Speaking to Daily Mail Australia at Marie Claire’s Women of the Year Awards in Sydney, the Olympic swimming champion poked fun at her drenching with a tongue-in-cheek one-liner.
‘I guess I’m used to being wet, so it’s just different being wet with champagne rather than chlorine,’ she quipped.
Walking the red carpet with her boyfriend Cody Simpson, Emma also reflected on her success at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games and shared her one regret.
While Emma took home the gold for Australia in the 4×100 freestyle relay, she admitted she would have loved to have also competed in the freestyle singles final.

She narrowly missed out on qualifying for the race in the Olympic Trials, with Mollie O’Callaghan and Shayna Jack instead securing the two Australian positions.
Reflecting on the Games, Emma said: ‘Paris put on such an excellent Olympic Games, it’s such an iconic city so I really wanted to be part of that Olympics.
‘I probably wanted to be part of that 100m freestyle final in the race itself, but to be a part of that 4x100m relay, that has such a huge history and is such a special relay for Australia.
‘It’s kind of the relay to be a part of and that’s what lifts the standard for us every year. I felt very honoured and special to be a part of that.’

Emma is now enjoying some downtime with her singer boyfriend Cody after the Olympics and said they are making the most of having time away from the ‘intensity’.
‘We’ve just had a holiday away in Europe for three weeks, so was really nice to take the chance to switch off and take a breather from the high intensity, that was really nice,’ she said.
Emma and Cody went ‘Instagram official’ with their relationship in July 2022, three months after they began dating in secret.
Last year, the loved-up pair celebrated by buying their first home together.
The pair splashed out $1.826million on a family-sized Gold Coast home, proving their headline-making romance that flourished while training for the 2022 Commonwealth Games has become more serious.
