Sophia Banadinovich, the daughter of Australian actor Eric Bana, made her runway debut, just a year after signing with a major modeling agency.
Sophia, 23, made sure all eyes were on her as she walked for Orangecube, a Melbourne-based accessories brand.
The glamorous brunette modeled some of the latest bags and jewelry from the collection.
While the fashion show was not part of the official program, the popular brand saw several familiar faces walking the runway.
Among them, stylist Jamie Azzopardi, Netflix star Kylah Day and AFLW star-turned-model Akec Makur Chuot and TikToker Alicia Djurovic strutted their stuff.
Last year, Sophia signed with Emma Raciti Management, a leading independent talent agency in Australia.
She has already been working as a model after signing with Melbourne agency The Talent Buro last year, as well as agency Giant Management.
Previously speaking with The Herald of the SunThe dancer, model and now actress said she was expanding her interests with the support of her family and friends.

“I think in many ways dancing and modeling complement each other,” she told the publication.
‘As dancers, we are taught from a young age to have great awareness of our bodies, our physiques and the way we behave.
‘Being a model was something I had never personally considered, but with the mentorship and support of my friends and family I decided why not give it a try. I’m definitely a beginner but I’m excited to see how far it can go!’
Sophia added that while studying dance, she does not rule out devoting herself to acting and also following in her father’s footsteps as an actor.

“Acting is something I would love to try when I can devote more attention, time and energy,” he said.
In a series of Instagram posts, the brunette, who bears a striking resemblance to her lauded actor father, has been documenting her glamorous lifestyle.
As for whether the Dirty John star has given her any advice about breaking into the entertainment business, Sophia admits that she tries not to “lean on it too much.”
“He doesn’t really talk about it much. I’m just trying to figure it out myself, I don’t want to depend on him too much. If I had any questions I could ask them,” he added.
Eric and his wife Rebecca Gleeson share Sophia and son Klaus, 26.
