Love Triangle star Jazmin Burke brought Gold Coast glamour to Melbourne as the official Event Ambassador for Spring Summer Soirée 2026, making a show-stopping G-Wagon arrival before leading a celebrity-filled night of couture, entertainment and Melbourne nightlife.
Flying into Melbourne from the Gold Coast earlier in the week, Jazmin settled into The Olsen Hotel on Melbourne’s iconic Chapel Street ahead of her ambassador duties for one of the city’s most energetic fashion events.
Produced by Vicoola Popovski of Vicoola Fashion Agency and Melinda Sullivan of Melbourne My Style, Spring Summer Soirée 2026 placed Jazmin front and centre as the face of this year’s event.
And when Friday night arrived, she certainly made an entrance.
Jazmin pulled up to The Emerson Melbourne in a G-Wagon courtesy of Euphoric Rides, before being escorted by Scott Roberts for the full celebrity red-carpet experience.
Stepping onto the carpet in House of Couture, Jazmin commanded the cameras, completing her look with hair and makeup byJosephine Fares.
For Jazmin, however, accepting the ambassador role was about more than simply being the face of the event. It was an opportunity to champion Australian fashion and the designers behind it.
“I love fashion and I want to support Australian brands and designers — it’s what I do,” Jazmin said.
“Being in Melbourne surrounded by my friends who have come to support me tonight is just so special. When I was asked to be the ambassador, I gave it my all.
“Vicoola and I have been friends for many years. We’re like family, so being here and being part of this with her means so much to me.”

And her friends certainly turned out to support her.
Jazmin brought along her best friend, Love Island star Margarita Smith, for the celebrations, with Margarita completing her look with hair and makeup by Kirsten Peterson.
Australian Idol’s Haze Harrington made another standout entrance alongside Gigi Era of the RuPaul’s Drag Race franchise. Both turned heads dressed in House of ERA couture, with Haze’s hair and makeup by Rula MUA.
The Golden Bachelor’s Sunny Long followed, while Juliette Chae from the recent season of Married at First Sight added more reality-TV star power to the evening.
MasterChef star John Carasig and stage star Joti Gore were also among the guests, while Big Brother’s Benjamin Norris took the microphone as MC for the night.
The fashion crowd brought plenty of personality of its own.
Fashionista Row made a statement in a daring sheer black catsuit, while influencer Mia Goreng was later spotted dancing up a storm as the fashion show transformed into a full nightlife experience.
There were surprises, too.
Australian Idol’s Sophie Le’ Devine made an unexpected appearance before taking to the stage to perform for guests, while Issi Ciccone was among the attendees ahead of her own upcoming show.
With Jazmin leading the celebrity contingent, Spring Summer Soirée 2026 became far more than a traditional runway presentation.
Celebrity arrivals, couture, live performances, music and a packed dance floor came together inside The Emerson Melbourne, creating a fashion experience designed to continue long after the final model left the runway.
For producer Vicoola Popovski, that evolution is exactly the point.
“This is more than just a fashion show — it’s an experience. We’re doing things differently, and just when you think you know what’s coming, we’ll change it up again and again.
“Melinda Sullivan, my partner, and I are taking Melbourne nightlife to a new level. We want to bring people together and give them a reason to dress up, dance and enjoy themselves. This show isn’t just for the young — it’s for everyone.
“Designers need more than just a runway, and that’s what we’re giving them — the stars, the entertainment and the full show. We want their collections to be part of an experience that people remember long after the runway ends.
“And we’re only getting started. Expect even more from us in 2027.”
