Derby Day 2022: Nicole Trunfio looks stylish as she makes a grand entrance at racing event

She has been been living overseas in the US as she continues to grow her family with American musician Gary Clarke Jr. 

But Nicole Trunfio is back in Australia with a bang. 

The model made quite the entrance at Penfolds Derby Day at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne on Saturday.  

Nicole Trunfio looked incredibly stylish in a strapless dress, HUGE hat and jewels worth thousands as she makes a grand entrance at Derby Day at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne on Saturday 

The brunette beauty parted the crowds as she sauntered through The Birdcage in form-fitting, strapless dress that showed off her sensational figure. 

The black frock featured an asymmetrical neckline as it hugged her waist and flaunted a hint of cleavage. 

She wore a pair of long black velvet gloves as she clutched a little Balenciaga handbag while steadying an extravagant wide-brimmed hat perilously balanced at an angle on her head. 

Pointed velvet pumps matched her black gloves and she perched a pair of dark cat-eye sunglasses low on her nose, looking over them with a content expression.

It comes after the Australian supermodel traded in the runway for a cooking channel.

She started her new cooking influencer career back in 2020 but abandoned it in July last year for unknown reasons.

Nicole returned recently with some new camera angles and a higher production budget as she kicked things off with two new recipes on Instagram and YouTube.

The brunette beauty whipped up a delicious Pineapple Sherbet Margarita and a mouth-watering Pumpkin Sage Ravioli.

Nicole gave no explanation as to her absence on the cooking channel, but she did acknowledge it on Friday when she posted a series of photos to her personal Instagram.

‘I know we have been gone for toooooo long (I’m sorry) to make up for it we are dropping 2 eps this week! (The next might be my fave),’ she captioned the reel which showed snaps of her cooking up a storm in the kitchen.

Nicole is the founder of fashion brands Bumpsuit, Erth Jewellery and Erth Swim, and has been married to American musician Gary for four years. They share four young children together: Gia, five, Zion, eight and baby Ella, two.
