Celebrities Nadia Bartel, Bec Judd, and Booby Tape Founders Dine in VIP Suite at Drake Concert

Nadia Bartel Dazzles at Drake Concert in Melbourne

Nadia Bartel, 39, turned heads in Melbourne on Tuesday night during Drake’s concert at Rod Laver Arena. The fashion designer flaunted her svelte figure in an oversized white pinstripe jacket, paired with a chic handbag and matching pumps. Joined by best friend and AFL WAG Bec Judd, the duo opted for coordinated all-white looks, while Booby Tape founders Bianca and Bridgett Roccisano stunned in sleek black ensembles.

Bridgett, heavily pregnant, showcased her baby bump in a floor-length black gown and coat, while Bianca wore a form-fitting maxi dress. The group enjoyed a lavish dinner before dancing the night away in a private suite. Laughter and free-flowing champagne filled the evening as the ladies celebrated in style.

Business Savvy Behind the Glamour

Despite her fashion empire’s success, Nadia humorously admits she’s “not great with numbers.” In a recent Herald Sun interview, she emphasized focusing on strengths: “I’ve realized what I’m good at—creativity and branding—and lean into that.” Her brand, Henne, co-founded in 2019 with her sister Michelle Ring and friend Laura Broque, now employs 50 people and has expanded with a new Melbourne boutique in 2022 and a Paddington store in 2024.

Nadia recently teamed up with Melbourne’s Green Cup Canteen for a limited-edition “Violet Glow” smoothie, promoting her tanning brand Spray Aus. The drink, packed with collagen and protein, aims to enhance natural radiance. Fans flocked to the South Yarra café on December 8 for free samples of the Violet Days Self Tan.
