She is the twin sister of Home and Away star Raechelle Banno.
But there was no mistaking Karina Banno as she showed off her very distinctive style at the Sydney Film Festival on Sunday evening.
Karina, also an actress, opted for a risqué outfit which shocked the crowd.
The 32-year-old stepped onto the red carpet wearing a sheer pink and white top with rope tied up Kinbaku style.
Kinbaku, which mean ‘tight binding’, is a Japanese style of bondage or BDSM which involves tying a person up using intricate patterns.

Karina wore pink rope tied around her waist, chest and neck at the event.
The brunette paired her unique top with some simple black trousers and black high heels.
She wore her glossy locks up on a high ponytail and accessorised with some large metal hoops earrings.
Back in 2018, Karina revealed that despite sporting a different hair colour to her starlet sister, she is constantly mistaken for the actress.
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, she said instead of feeling annoyed when people think she is Raechelle, it gives her great pride in her sibling.
‘It happens almost every day and and it’s really flattering because it’s amazing to see how many people are touched by Raechelle’s work,’ she said.
Karina added that people rarely believe her when she explains that she is Raechelle’s sister.
‘People often don’t tend to believe me when I say I am her twin, they think I’m trying to get out of a photo,’ she revealed.

Since then, Karina has acted in various short films and mini-series as well as finding work behind the camera as a writer, producer and assistant director.
