Best friends Jackie ‘O’ Henderson and Pip Edwards stepped out in catwalk model style on Wednesday night, dressing in designer frocks previously seen on the Australian Fashion Week runway to attend a book launch in Potts Point.
The Sydney radio queen, 50, wore a $3200 limited edition dress by Sydney designer Amber Symond for the outing.
The floor length Portrait of a Man dress features licensed artwork by Tamara de Lempicka, a pioneering 1920s artist known for her distinctive Art Deco style.
Actor and model Charlee Fraser wore the same strapless dress, made of Italian virgin wool mohair, when Symonds made her striking Fashion Week debut in 2023.
Meanwhile, P.E Nation co-founder Pip, 44, chose to mirror Jackie’s ensemble in the strapless $359 ‘Volant mini’ by Australian label L’idee.
Pip and Jackie could have passed for sisters as they posed together for a mirror selfie at the bottom of the Ksubi creative director’s staircase in their finery.

‘Dressed up to celebrate our fave fabulous friend,’ Pip captioned the photo shared to her Stories.
‘With my woman, Jackie O.’
The blonde besties attended interior stylist Steve Cordnoy’s lavish book launch at furniture store MCM House in Paddington.
Pip wore her blonde hair slicked back into her signature bun and completed her look with statement gold chain heels and minimal gold jewellery.
Jackie wore her highlighted blonde tresses loose around her shoulders and opted for a pair of gold hoop earrings.
‘Not only is he incredibly talented, but he’s got the kindest heart I know,’ she gushed over Steve, as she celebrated the pop-up shop dedicated to her friend’s new book.
The lavish launch event was attended by a gaggle of Sydney socialites and taste makers, with Pip and Jackie leading the dinner crowd in their matching strapless dresses.
This is not the first time the fashionable duo have flaunted their tanned and tiny frames in complementary attire.

Pip Edwards said she is ‘so proud’ of interior stylist Simon Condroy for releasing a book
Rather than dressing in all-black or all-white to ham up their likeness this week, the stylish duo opted to match the silhouettes by both going strapless.
Since befriending Pip, Jackie O has cemented her status as a Sydney fashion girlie by stepping out in thousands of dollars worth of designer threads.
The fashion designer looked to be having the time of her life as she mingled with Steve and his invited guests.
Her frock is advertised online as a dress with ‘form-fitting shape that accentuates your form with effortless elegance,’ with the ruffled hemline said to ‘pay homage to the iconic details of the 80s.’
Meanwhile Jackie’s ensemble is by Common Hours, an Aussie label known for its thematic exploration and collaboration with artists, authors, and musicians.
Pip, who recently debuted a new romance with Joshua Clapp, and Jackie have become close friends in the last two years and are often seen spending time together.
Pip recently revealed how she stood by Jackie after the radio host admitted to her battles with drug and alcohol addiction.
Speaking about Jackie’s bravery in telling her story in her memoir The Whole Truth, Pip said she was inspired by her friend’s honesty.
‘I think for her it was extremely healing and it was time for her to stand in her truth. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. And to all the critics out there, f*** off. Sorry.
‘The night Jackie released the story on radio, I went to her house to be with her and give her a big hug,’ Pip said.
She added the women are ‘spiritually aligned’ and share an incredibly close friendship.
