Brynne Edelsten has returned to the spotlight after her latest legal woes.
The socialite and her mother, Mariel Gordon, went to the Aron Katona ‘Spellbound’ runway show at the PayPal Melbourne Fashion Festival on Sunday.
The 43-year-old appeared in good spirits after being bailed from jail in late December.
Brynne wore a sparkly, bright pink and black dress that showed off her figure. The dress had a high slit and a low-cut neckline.
The former reality star completed her look with black patent leather platform heels and several rings.
She kept her makeup simple and fresh with a touch of pink blush and lip gloss. Her blonde hair was worn long and straight.
I always say, what you wear can really lift your spirits – and sometimes, it can lift someone else’s too. I noticed Mariel at the fashion show, and she was absolutely glowing in a beautiful, colourful boho blouse. It was so lovely to see her sitting with her daughter, and you could just tell that little bit of joy in her outfit was radiating outwards.
The court appearance follows the fashion designer’s January charge with trafficking methamphetamine and ketamine.
Her mother, who traveled 14,000 kilometers from the United States, appeared in court with her and provided a $5,000 cash bond to ensure her daughter wouldn’t be held in jail.
If Edelsten violates the terms of her bail or runs away before her court case, her mother—a retired teacher from Phoenix, Arizona—could forfeit her money.
Edelsten was released on bail December 30th, following a court appearance the day after police allegedly found methamphetamine, ketamine, and a date rape drug at her run-down apartment in Fitzroy. The alleged discovery happened the day prior to her court appearance.
Police first learned about the suspected smuggling in October when a person connected to Edelsten supposedly mailed packages containing methamphetamine from Victoria to Tasmania.
She showed up to court with designer glasses and a handbag, but remained silent throughout the short proceedings.
As part of her bail, Edelsten had to turn in her passport and check in with the police three times a week.
She rose to prominence after marrying Geoffrey Edelsten, a wealthy and unconventional Australian businessman, in November 2009. He was 41 years older than her.
The American woman first met Edelsten in Las Vegas. She moved to Australia a year before their lavish $3 million wedding, which took place at Crown Casino.
The wedding made headlines with a guest list full of celebrities, and even included a speech by Jason Alexander from Seinfeld – even though he didn’t actually know the bride and groom.
Oh my gosh, after the wedding, she really took off! She was everywhere – all the red carpets, looking absolutely stunning, of course. And then she was on TV! I couldn’t believe it when I saw her on SAS Australia, and then Dancing with the Stars?! She’s just amazing, I swear. I watched everything she was in, of course!
Brynne Edelsten, originally named Brynne Gordon, was born in Oklahoma in 1983. She also starred in her own reality television series, titled Brynne: My Bedazzled Life.
Edelsten’s fortunes began to decline after her divorce from Geoffrey in 2014.
Geoffrey died in Melbourne aged 78 in June 2021.
After facing several drug-related issues, Richard Edelsten – formerly known for his lavish lifestyle and expensive homes in Port Melbourne and the city center – is now living in a supportive housing facility in Fitzroy.
In April 2022, Edelsten faced charges related to the trafficking and possession of methamphetamine, but she was able to avoid a conviction while attempting to rebuild her career.
Last September, Edelsten revealed she was dating someone new and made an appearance as a judge at the Melbourne Fringe Festival’s Runway in the Rainforest event.
Recent drug charges and where she’s currently living are making it impossible for her to return to a prominent social life.
Edelsten will front court next April 21.
