A ‘naked artist’ and an ‘eyebrow queen’ walk into a wedding…
It sounds like a joke, but there’s no punchline. In fact, anyone aware of the drama within Sydney’s elite social scene would almost expect sparks to fly.
You see, eyebrow queen Kristin Fisher and nude artist Dina Broadhurst aren’t getting along lately, to put it mildly.
About eight months ago, the two women, both eastern suburbs socialites, reportedly had a huge fight that shocked their friendship group.
It’s a well-known story: the Double Bay salon owner, 39, and the renowned art collector, 46, allegedly quarreled over a man. As a result of their feud, the once inseparable duo stopped attending the same events and maintained an icy wall of silence..
So viewers were surprised to see Kristin and Dina smiling, laughing and united once again as they attended the lavish wedding of Pilates instructor Bernadette Fahey and real estate developer Jordan Sukkar on the leafy grounds of Scots College on Saturday.

Viewers were shocked to see Kristin and Dina smiling, laughing and joined at the hip once again after allegedly fighting over a man about eight months ago.
What happened, I hear you ask?
Well, suddenly Dina is single again, having broken up with her boyfriend, appliance heir John Winning Jr, on the morning of the wedding.
With no man to stand between them, the two ladies seemed very happy to let bygones be bygones as they sipped champagne and posed for selfies in the bathroom as if the previous eight months of hostility had been nothing more than a bad dream.
While it’s impossible to know what they talked about, one can hazard a guess that they talked about more than just their revealing outfits..
Dina had started dating John Jr in March and went public with their romance in May. Just a few weeks later it was reported that his friendship with Kristin had abruptly ended.
In the lead-up to their breakup, the two women were single and attended many of the same events together. But after their fight, they kept their distance for months..
But what happened between them seems to be a thing of the past. Our snapper not only spotted them laughing and chatting at the wedding, but they also formalized the end of their breakup by going to the bathroom for a series of Instagram selfies..
Dina turned heads at the star-studded event in a sheer red dress, with a thong-inspired underlay that showed off her derriere, while a thigh slit served as a great leg-high.

Meanwhile, Kristin put on a busty display in a low-cut, backless, dark green silk dress, complete with daring cutouts down the sides.
As for her split from John Jr, sources told Daily Mail Australia that Dina finally realized their lifestyles weren’t compatible after eight months together.
They seem to have confirmed their separation by unfollowing each other on Instagram.
Dina and John Jr, son of appliance magnate John Winning Snr, whose family is worth an estimated $700 million, had confirmed their romance earlier this year when they attended a rave together in California.
She “gently launched” it by introducing him in one of her social media posts.
At the time, the couple was said to be “in love” with each other. However, sources say Dina has moved on from her relationship with the fun-loving businessman.
John took over as CEO of Winning Appliances in 2011, at the age of 22, and led the business in a new direction with Appliances Online, now Australia’s largest online appliance retailer.
The family business was founded by his great-grandfather Richard William Winning in 1906 under the trading name RW Winning & Co and has become a leading specialist in kitchen and laundry appliances.
As well as running Winning Appliances, John is also an experienced sailor having won line honors with his crew aboard Andoo Comanche in the 2022 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.
The skipper sailed the race alongside his father John Winning Sr, who previously won Sydney to Hobart line honors in 1976.
In his free time, John is an adrenaline junkie and loves skydiving. He is also a DJ and has performed to crowds on luxury yachts, in Ibiza clubs and even at Glastonbury.
John reportedly lives in an eclectic bachelor pad in Surry Hills which comes with its own private nightclub, a transparent smoking room and a swimming pool.
Dina was previously in a relationship with Max Shepherd, 31, but in June 2023 it emerged that they had split after four and a half years together.
After the breakup, the socialite was briefly linked to real estate investor Tony Benjamin before starting up with John Jr.
What happened, I hear you ask? Well, suddenly Dina is single again – having broken up with her boyfriend, appliance heir John Winning Jr (left), on the morning of the wedding.
In May, it was reported that Dina and Kristin had isolated each other. The ice has clearly thawed since then.
