Aussie star steps out after billionaire split

Holly Valance has joined a star-studded crowd – including the King’s niece, Zara Tindall – at a glitzy London party, marking her first public outing following her split from billionaire husband Nick Candy.

The former Australian actress, who is now based in the UK, stunned in a white satin minidress at the event in Mayfair, which celebrated the launch of designer Rebecca Vallance’s Holiday collection and her new Modest capsule.

The Aussies were all smiles as they posed together before the cocktail party, and chatted throughout the night at the swanky Aki Bar.

It comes just months after it was revealed that Valance and Candy had filed for divorce after 13 years of marriage and two children.

Meanwhile, Zara Tindall was among the guests on Wednesday night showing support for the designer, as was Kelly Osbourne, who brought along her mum, Sharon, for a special “date night”, with both making glamorous entrances in Vallance gowns.

Earlier this year, Vallance spoke to news.com.au about the origins of Zara’s affiliation with the brand, admitting she hadn’t realised the late Queen’s granddaughter had been spotted out wearing her pieces until it popped up on social media.

“[Zara] was buying the brand – I worked it out from somebody tagging her on social media,” the designer explained.

Initially connecting through Zara’s stylist, the pair quickly hit it off, with Zara later attending the relaunch of Vallance’s line in ritzy UK department store Harrods, as well as donning her designs for Royal Ascot over the past two years and the Magic Millions Racing Carnival on the Sunshine Coast.

“She’s just so lovely and warm, just a beautiful woman inside and out, with a great sense of humour … We’re very appreciative of all the support that she gives.”
