Baz Luhrmann paid tribute to his homeland and one of his epic films at the 2024 Met Gala in New York.
The director wore a small detail on the red carpet that was reminiscent of his 2008 drama Australia.
The 61-year-old wore a $2,000 gold and diamond necklace made by Kununurra, Western Australian jeweler Frauke Bolten-Boshammer.
It is made in the shape of a boab tree, native to the region.
Bolten-Boshammer, owner of Kimberley Fine Diamonds, gifted Baz the bauble when he was doing Australia in the area all those years ago.
