Pia Whitesell enjoys the finer things in life.
But the former Home and Away actress likes a bargain too, as she proved on Friday during her getaway in St Barts.
The 41-year-old showed off her new dress in a post to Instagram – and the glittering gold gown costs just $350.
The Petra Maxi Dress, from Babyboo, comes in silver and gold, and the semi-sheer frock looked incredible on Pia’s slim and shapely figure.
‘This dress you guys! So easy to wear – I popped it on with flats and it was a hit’ Pia gushed in the comments, before saying the post was not sponsored.
In the background of the clip Pia’s multi-millionaire husband Patrick could be seen beaming at his stunning wife.

Last month, Pia made another budget choice when she and Patrick were spotted jetting out of Sydney on their private jet on Friday after spending the New Year Down Under and grabbed some cheap takeaway for the trip.
The star and her talent agent husband, 59, rang in 2025 on a luxury yacht in the Sydney Harbour watching the fireworks.
They were joined by Pia’s two sons Isaiah, 20, and Lennox, 16 – who she welcomed during two previous relationships – during her trip back to her native Australia.
For their travels, the multi-millionaire couple opted for a surprisingly budget in-flight meal as they had Nando’s delivered to their private jet before boarding.
Airport staff could be seen carrying the paper bags filled with food across the runway and on to their private jet as the family managed to avoid any plane food clichés.
Pia looked travel ready as she cut a stylish figure in a long-sleeved black T-shirt and white jeans, which she styled with grey Adidas trainers.
Meanwhile, Patrick cut a laidback figure in a white long-sleeved T-shirt and black jeans, teamed with white trainers and a baseball cap and shades.
The couple, who live in a lavish $57million LA mansion, were accompanied by Pia’s sons Isaiah and Lennox, who both avidly chatted as they boarded the private jet.

The family all had a whirlwind visit to Australia over the Christmas holidays where they indulged in luxury boat rides and meals out in Sydney.
And they all rang in the New Year in style on a luxury yacht as Pia splashed out on the prime position to watch the world-famous Sydney Harbour firework display.
For the evening, Pia dressed to the nines to celebrate the start of 2025 as she put on a very glamorous display in a sparkling silver mini dress.
Other photographs from the night showed Pia beaming from ear-to-ear as she posed with Patrick and her sons.
Pia was only 19-years-old when she fell pregnant with her eldest son Isaiah, whom she shares with her former boyfriend.
She later welcomed her younger son Lennox with her ex Brad Miller.
Pia moved to the United States after she married Patrick in a secret ceremony in May 2021, and her two sons accompanied her to set up a new life in Los Angeles.
They have fully immersed themselves in American way of life, with Lennox joining a football team at his high school while Isaiah is attending college.

Since moving to the US, Pia and Patrick have set up their forever home in a huge AUD$57million Tuscan-style estate in Holmby Hills, Los Angeles, which Patrick owns.
The property features a resort-style swimming pool, a driveway lined with olive trees, and even its own maids’ quarters for staff.
The mansion has a luxurious but cosy feel inside, featuring ornate high ceilings, fireplaces throughout as well as a dramatic foyer.
There’s also a gourmet kitchen, a library and home theatre, in addition to a smaller guest house on the grounds.
It spans more than 19,000 sq ft, sits on 1.35 acres of land and features a top-of-the-range security system and gated driveway, with privacy guaranteed because it cannot be seen from the street.
Holmby Hills is one of LA’s most exclusive neighbourhoods and their home is close to the AUD$220million mansion built for the late TV executive Aaron Spelling and his widow, Candy Spelling.
Also nearby is the infamous Playboy Mansion once owned by the late Hugh Hefner.
Pia and Patrick gave their home a makeover before moving in, with extensive renovations taking place while they lived in an oceanfront property in Malibu.

Pia often gives fans a glimpse inside the palatial paradise on her Instagram page, sharing an array of stunning photographs of their family home.
Patrick is the executive chairman of Endeavor talent agency and is widely considered one of the most influential men in movies.
He has an estimated net worth of AUD$630million and boasts a client list including Ben Affleck, Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale.
Pia is a Chilean-born actress and model who famously starred as Katarina Chapman in Home and Away.
The couple started dating after Patrick’s ex-wife Lauren Sanchez left him for Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, 58, the world’s richest man, in one of the biggest scandals of 2019.
Patrick was the one who introduced Lauren to Jeff in 2016, and she left him for the multi-billionaire e-commerce entrepreneur in May 2019.
Patrick and Lauren, who share 15-year-old son Evan and 14-year-old daughter Eleanor Patricia, finalised their divorce in October 2019.
