Sydney socialite and jewellery designer Emma 'Pills' Pillemer ushered in the new year with a spectacularly glamorous party, hosting a star-studded guest list at her multi-million dollar home.
A Night of Glitz and Glamour in Vaucluse
On Wednesday evening, the 24-year-old 'It girl' said farewell to 2024 and hello to 2025 at a swanky New Year's Eve celebration held at her luxurious $30 million Vaucluse mansion. The event doubled as a launch party for controversial YouTuber David Dobrik's viral snack, Wavers, now available at 7-Eleven.
Guests included a who's who of influencers and reality TV personalities. Alongside Dobrik, attendees included influencer Suzan Mutesi and Bachelor stars Bella Varelis and Juliette Herrera, ensuring the soirée was packed with notable faces.
Emma Pillemer Steals the Show in Gold
Despite the high-profile guest list, it was the hostess herself who commanded attention. Emma Pillemer made a stunning entrance in a glittering, figure-hugging gold gown that left little to the imagination.
The halter-neck dress featured bold cut-out detailing at the front, showcasing her cleavage, while the sequined fabric clung to her frame. She accessorised with strappy silver heels, a chunky chain-link necklace, and wore her blonde hair down over her shoulders, completing the look with a bold red lip.
Throughout the night, Emma was the consummate hostess, energetically working the room, posing for photos, and ensuring her guests were entertained.
Party Contrasts with Recent Solemn Statements
The festive celebration comes shortly after Pillemer, who is Jewish, broke her silence following the Bondi Junction terror attack last month. On Instagram, she expressed her shock and offered support, writing, 'If anyone needs a safe place, please reach out.'
She also posted a powerful message condemning the normalisation of antisemitism, stating, 'This is what happens when you allow "gas the Jews" to be chanted in Australia... Jewish Australians are not safe. We tried to warn you all.' She revealed receiving vile antisemitic messages since the October 7th attacks.
The daughter of a prominent fund manager, Emma has forged her own path, launching a successful jewellery brand straight out of school and earning her first million independently. She splits her time between Sydney's eastern suburbs and Los Angeles, solidifying her status as a Gen Z queen bee on both sides of the Pacific.
