Pip Edwards has returned to Bondi Beach after being caught up in December’s terrorist attack.
The P.E. Nation founder looked relaxed and happy to be back in her usual stomping ground as she enjoyed a New Year’s Day lunch date with best mate Jackie ‘O’ Henderson.
Sitting down for an opulent meal at the trendy Bondi Icebergs bistro, Pip posed up a storm with a slimmed-down Jackie, who showed off her recent weight loss, in a series of Instagram Stories posts.
The women dined on salmon ceviche, calamari nero di seppia, mozzarella and piselli antipasti, pasta cacio e pepe, insalata di avocado and fish served with vin de muscat and lemon leaf butter.
Jackie looked chic in a camouflage tank top from Ksubi, the label for which Pip recently served as creative director.
Pip meanwhile showed off lots of bust in a grey, long-sleeved top with a plunging neckline.

‘Best food. Best conversation,’ Pip captioned one image of the meal she shared with Jackie and other friends during the outing.
The pair have seen their high-profile friendship go from strength to strength in the past two years.
The pals rang in 2026 together as they met up to party for New Year’s Eve in Sydney on Wednesday.
Jackie donned a cheeky nod to the night ahead with a tank top that read ‘wrong party babe’ which she paired with tan cargo pants.
The glamorous duo joined a group of genetically-blessed friends at a mansion that sits on Sydney Harbour – a perfect location to take in the NYE fireworks.
Pip recently announced that she is taking time away from work to focus on her well-being following the traumatic events that unfolded during a Hanukkah celebration last month.
At least 15 people were killed and dozens more injured when two gunmen opened fire near Bondi Beach, plunging the area into chaos and terror.
Pip, who was caught up in the violence, later revealed she had been forced to hide as the attack unfolded, describing it as the most traumatic day of her life.

Sources close to the fashion designer say that she ‘remains deeply shaken’ and is ‘prioritising her recovery after the ordeal’.
According to the publication, Pip’s decision to pull back from Ksubi, where she held the role of creative director, reflects a need to reassess her priorities following the experience.
Pip had only recently returned to the iconic label in September 2024, calling the move a ‘full-circle moment’.
She previously worked at Ksubi decades earlier and shares her teenage son Justice with co-founder Dan Single.
Pip was caught up in the sickening terror attack on Bondi Beach that left 15 innocent people dead.
The designer and her friend were left trapped under a van and surrounded by two gunmen during the deadly attack after spending a day at the beach.
