Nadia Bartel is a fashionista known for her changing styles and she has rocked an array of looks over the years.

And the model, 39, showed off her huge fashion transformation as she stepped out for Australian Fashion Week on Tuesday alongside her best pal Rebecca Judd.

She showed off her incredible figure in a figure-hugging white satin mini dress which showed off her toned legs as she posed up a storm for the cameras.

Nadia, who is married to AFL’s Jimmy Bartel, looked strikingly different from her early days in fashion as she opted for a glossy and polished look for the big night.

The designer added to her stunning features with a dramatic bronzed make-up palette and styled her brunette tresses loosely across her shoulders.

Nadia has rocked a series of drastically different looks over the years, going from a shorter, choppy blonde style to her current glossy caramel tresses.

Though Nadia’s clothing brand Henne didn’t feature at AFW, Nadia still stepped out in style alongside AFL WAG Rebecca, 41, to enjoy the fashion extravaganza.

Style aficionados were left scratching their heads over this year’s AFW line-up, which saw Nadia’s popular brand Henne axed.

Major brands like Carla Zampatti, Romance Was Born and P.E Nation are involved in the 2024 runway event, with labels like Bec + Bridge, Mariam Seddiq, Michael Lo Sordo, and Acler making favourable returns.

However, Henne was not included in this year’s line-up, despite it being the most popular event on the schedule in 2023.

The fashion brand, which has been modelled by stars including supermodel Emily Ratajkowski, made its AFW debut in 2022 before making a triumphant return the following year.

A spokesperson from Henne told Daily Mail Australia that the company is focusing on bigger and highly-anticipated plans for its brand, including the opening of its Sydney boutique in the coming months.

‘Henne will not be participating in Australian Fashion Week 2024,’ they said in a statement.

‘After two successful showcases in 2022 and 2023, Henne is redirecting its focus to the opening of its first Sydney boutique in June. This decision reflects the brand’s commitment to expanding its retail presence and ensuring a successful launch.’

‘Henne expresses gratitude to AFW for past opportunities and looks forward to future collaborations.’
