Sydney’s most talked-about socialites flocked to celebrate the 40th birthday of coveted fashion designer Michael Lo Sordo over the weekend.

Pip Edwards, Kristin Fisher, Bernadette Fahey, Sarah Lucas and Caroline Tran were among the notable guests at the lavish event held at Icebergs Dining Room and Bar at Bondi Beach.

However, nude artist Dina Broadhurst appeared absent from the function, fuelling the rumours that she had a falling out with eyebrow queen Fisher.

Taking to Instagram on Sunday, P.E Nation co-founder Pip shared numerous photos from the party, posing with Lo Sordo and other partygoers.

‘HB MLS – we love you, adore you and celebrate you!’ she captioned her post, revealing she wore vintage staples from his collection to the lunch.

Edwards was well dressed for winter in a black leather trench coat, paired with a black sequined top and lace bralette.

Meanwhile, pilates instructor Bernadette Fahey wore a tan strapless minidress that ruched at the sides, while layering with a black blazer.

‘Happy 40th my boo,’ the blonde captioned her post. 

Last month, it was reported Fisher and Broadhurst had a falling out, which may explain the artist’s no-show.

Fisher, who owns a popular eyebrow bar in Double Bay, used to be thick as thieves with fellow headline magnet Broadhurst – known as the ‘nude artist’ because her artworks often feature her naked body front and centre.

But they have reportedly iced each other out – and rumour has it the reason for their rift stems from Broadhurst, 45, and Fisher, 39, ‘both hooking up with the same guy’.

‘It hasn’t ended well,’ a source told The Sunday Telegraph of their falling-out.

‘They were both single so were going out together a lot at one stage. But they haven’t spoken in months,’ the insider added.

Daily Mail Australia contacted Broadhurst and Fisher in May for comment. 

It comes after Broadhurst appeared to confirm her romance with multimillionaire kitchen appliances heir John ‘Herman’ Winning last month.

She was reported to have started dating the CEO and fourth-generation heir of Winning Appliances about two months ago, after knowing him for some time.

She seemingly confirmed her romance with Winning in April when they attended a rave in Pioneertown, California, together.

Broadhurst took to Instagram to share a gallery of snaps from their trip stateside with a group of friends.

Winning, whose family is believed to be worth $700million, tellingly featured in a photo that showed him from behind as he gazed out at the desert.

Daily Mail Australia is not suggesting Mr Winning is the man at the centre of Fisher and Broadhurst’s alleged falling-out.

Meanwhile, Fisher was forced to quash rumours last month that she was the ‘other woman’ behind MCoBeauty founder Shelley Sullivan’s marriage breakdown with her husband Anthony.

MCoBeauty founder Shelley and her accountant husband of seven years parted ways three weeks ago after an explosive argument.

The row prompted Anthony to leave the country and head to the US, while his wife moved into the five-star InterContinental Hotel in Double Bay. 

Reports have wrongly insinuated that Fisher was involved in the split, which she says is ‘unequivocally false’. 

‘This is absolutely not true,’ she told Daily Mail Australia.

‘I am so sick of being the clickbait in all of these stories and having to defend myself over something that I’ve got nothing, and I mean NOTHING, to do with.

‘The truth is I’ve only been with one person of late,’ she added.

Fisher, who has had her fair share of headlines over the years, said there was no bad blood between herself and Shelley, a long-time friend.

‘This rumour is not true – along with every other story that my name gets dragged into,’ Fisher said.

‘Tall poppy syndrome is alive and well in this country – the rumours just keep getting more outrageous every day.’
