Australian reality television personality Zana Pali has made a striking appearance in Melbourne, celebrating her first birthday since her separation from husband Gianni Romano. The former My Kitchen Rules star was seen on Sunday morning at the upscale Bottega Blowdry salon, where she spent several hours preparing for her 35th birthday festivities.
High-Glam Birthday Preparations
Zana arrived in a stunning gold evening dress that accentuated her figure, setting the tone for a day of celebration. The fitted, shimmering ensemble was complemented by an array of luxurious accessories, indicating that this was far from a low-key affair. Her polished look was enhanced with layers of gold and diamond jewellery valued at over $100,000.
Luxury Jewellery Details
The jewellery collection included a $23,000 Vintage Alhambra necklace from the prestigious French jeweller Van Cleef & Arpels, along with a $21,000 gold Cartier love bracelet and a matching $3,400 love ring. She also wore $20,000 Magic Alhambra earrings featuring a four-leaf clover pattern and an $11,000 bracelet from the same luxury house.
Complete Head-to-Toe Look
Zana completed her outfit with a quilted gold designer-style Chanel handbag and an additional clutch, fully embracing a metallic theme. Her honey-toned hair was styled into soft, loose waves, while bronzed makeup and a glowing complexion gave her a camera-ready finish.
Birthday Celebrations at Botanical Hotel
Later in the day, Zana shared a series of photos on social media, capturing her partying with friends and family at the elegant Botanical Hotel in South Yarra. She appeared effortlessly put together in the same show-stopping gold dress, seamlessly transitioning from salon glam to birthday celebration mode.
Background on the Marriage Split
The birthday comes after news of Zana's marriage split with Gianni Romano, which caused a stir in Brighton's affluent 'Golden Mile' community. The couple, both lawyers who gained fame on My Kitchen Rules in 2016, made headlines in August last year over their breakup.
Separate Lives Post-Split
The former couple are now living completely separate lives. Zana, who has transitioned into a property developer and influencer, has been enjoying the European summer with her children. Meanwhile, Gianni, a partner at the law firm Best Hooper, has returned to work in wintry Melbourne.
Last year, Daily Mail observed that Gianni was not wearing his wedding ring. When questioned about the split, he declined to provide details, simply stating, 'I don't want to talk about it.'
Family Home Sale
The pair's family home on Brighton's 'Golden Mile', which featured a basement nightclub and lift access, sold in the middle of last year for approximately $10 million. The property is located in an area known for attracting Victorian socialites, including notable locals like Bec and Chris Judd.
Family and Personal History
Gianni and Zana became prominent figures among the neighbourhood's glamorous elites after moving in with their sons, Leo and Romeo, now aged seven and six. The couple married in November 2014 on Hayman Island and welcomed their sons in 2018 and 2020, respectively.
