Pip Edwards has gone back to the beach for the first time since the frightening incident at Bondi Beach.

The fashion designer described a terrifying experience of being trapped by two armed men during an attack that happened on Sunday.

In the wake of the ordeal, Pip has broken cover and been spotted at a beach in Nielsen Park.

On Wednesday, the 45-year-old woman was seen swimming in the clear, blue water wearing a snakeskin bikini.

She accessorised with $765 Balenciaga sunglasses and layered gold bracelets. 

She emerged from the ocean, her blonde hair cascading in loose waves down her shoulders as she walked onto the sand.

Pip was spotted relaxing on a towel, sunbathing and talking with a friend.

This follows Pip’s involvement in the tragic terror attack at Bondi Beach on Sunday, which sadly resulted in the deaths of 15 innocent people.

After a day at the beach, Pip and her friend found themselves in a terrifying situation: trapped under a van while two gunmen opened fire around them.

On Sunday afternoon, a shocking attack occurred at a popular Australian landmark while hundreds of people were celebrating the first day of Hanukkah at a ‘Chanukah by the Sea’ event.

Naveed Akram, 24, and his father, Sajid Akram, 50, reportedly used powerful military-style weapons to shoot into crowds of people – including residents, tourists, and families – from a nearby footbridge.

Okay, so I was completely glued to Instagram yesterday, and P.E Nation’s designer finally talked about what happened to her! She wrote this really long post detailing this terrifying 15 minutes she went through – honestly, it sounded awful, and I just felt so bad for her sharing it all.

She called the attack a senseless and extremely violent act, happening while people were simply enjoying a beautiful summer day at Bondi Beach.

Pip explained that she and her girlfriend, Jess, were walking away from the beach to go home when the shooting started. The gunmen opened fire just a few meters behind them.

She described how the shooter fired the first shots right after she and her girlfriend walked past the bridge, as they were on their way to a Jewish event happening on the grass at Bondi Beach.

We quickly dove for cover between two vans as bullets kept flying, landing just a couple of meters away.

The pair were forced to take cover under one van as the gunmen circled above them.

Edwards described how they quickly hid under a van and were forced to watch the gunman’s feet walk back and forth right above them, using the van for cover as he moved around.

‘His feet were in front of the van and another gunman’s feet were behind, circling the van.’

She explained that the terrifying experience lasted about 15 minutes, and they were so scared they could barely breathe.

She described how they kept rolling back and forth under the van, using the wheels for cover, while the gunmen walked around above them, seemingly unaware of their presence.

We were trapped for fifteen minutes, terrified and stunned. We barely breathed, afraid of making any noise that might give us away.

Pip reported that bullets were hitting cars all around them, even the van they were using as cover, as the gunmen opened fire on everything and everyone in sight.

She described being paralyzed with fear, feeling completely stuck and believing they were about to die, all while desperately watching the other people’s feet.

I just have to share how much Pip talks about her family. She says her love for her son is something she can’t even put into words, and that her family and friends mean the world to her. She really believes that love is the most important thing in life, and honestly, it’s so lovely to hear her say it.
