Jackie ‘O’ Henderson is bringing the nineties back in Greece.
The queen of Sydney radio, 50, dolled up in chic maroon suit for her exclusive keynote address at the Radio Days European Radio Conference in Athens on Tuesday.
But the petite blonde slipped into something more comfortable for an afternoon of sightseeing in the ancient capital with her manager and best friend Gemma O’Neil.
Jackie has warmly embraced the Gen Z staple that harks back to her own roaring twenties in Sydney, the designer army pant.
The KIIS FM radio star channeled a young Avril Lavigne as she stepped out in a $219 pair of Ksubi camouflage pants and a grey T-shirt.
Her best friend Pip Edwards, 44, was announced as the creative director of the Australian streetwear brand back in September.

Jackie paired her green ‘Fugitive Hash Camo’ cargos with chunky black military boots.
She wore her blonde tresses in loose curls around her shoulders, later removing her long sleeved undershirt to walk around the Acropolis.
Cargo pants and shorts are a ‘must have’ in Jackie’s wardrobe.
The media personality told her followers in October she was wearing a grey pair of the camouflage pants almost every day, insisting they were the most flattering pair she owns.
Pushing the sartorial boundary even further on one outing at Melbourne airport in 2024, Jackie flaunted her slim frame in a pair of $930 cargo shorts from the trendy brand Acne Studios.
Jackie admitted the style is a ‘blast from the past’ in July, when she sported another pair of $1200 oversized parachute pants from the label.
Today, camouflage fashion is a staple in streetwear fashion.
Public Enemy, a hip-hop crew formed in 1986 in Long Island, are known as one of the first major groups that popularised the camo print.

The politically charged group lent its cultural capital to the style, making the military fabric synonymous with rebellion and protest.
Camo’s popularity charged into the ’90s and noughties, when it was being worn by pretty much everyone from rappers like Tupac and Wu-Tang Clan, to boy-bands like NSYNC, to Avril Lavigne, the Spice Girls and Destiny’s Child.
Jackie recently revealed the secret to looking youthful after celebrating her 50th birthday.
The radio host told Daily Mail Australia that being happy and positive has helped her look so young.
‘I’m a smoker of all things and I haven’t really looked after my body over the years,’ she revealed.
‘But I’ve always been a very, positive kind of person and generally happy. I couldn’t attribute [my youthful looks] to anything else, to be honest.’
She also revealed how meditation has helped her alleviate a lot of stress over the years.
‘I think that meditation for sure gets you to a much calmer, joyful place in your life and that alleviates a lot of stress,’ Jackie said.
‘And as we know, stress is the number one factor for ageing and health problems in general. So I’m big believer in meditation.’
Jackie also said she is excited about turning 50 next year and is ‘grateful’ for what she’s achieved.
‘I’ve had a wonderful life and I really appreciate what I do have in my life. I’m grateful that I’ve lived 50 years and so I’m not afraid of it at all,’ she said.
‘I’m happy to embrace it as every decade brings something new.’
