Francesca Packer-Barham transported 120 of her nearest and dearest to Disneyland on Friday night for an epic 25th birthday party.
The seldom-seen granddaughter of late media tycoon Kerry Packer is no stranger to a lavish party, having hired out Luna Park to celebrate her 21st.
And this year was no different with “Chessie” holding a stylish Disneyland-themed high society dinner party at French haunt Bistro Guillaume in George St.
Packer Barham channelled Dynasty-style glamour in a stunning low-cut blue gown, which she teamed with an immaculate high ponytail and glittering jewels.
Bearded Baker Joey El-Issa, Booby Tape founder Bianca Roccisano, Sparking White Smile founder Alison Egan, jewellery designer Zena K’Dor, film director Daniel Saboune, and NRL player Thomas Burgess and his model girlfriend Tahlia Giumelli were among the 120 stylish guests who sat down to dinner at the popular French restaurant.
The after-party looked to be even more extravagant than the dinner, with guests being taken to a second venue where they were greeted by packer-Barham’s initials in purple neon lights before being treated to a live band and well-used photo booth.
Packer Barham’s uncle James wasn’t in attendance, but it’s believed her mother Gretel Packer was part of the celebrations.
The lavish birthday bash comes two months after the heiress purchased the largest apartment in Darlinghurst’s landmark Horizon building.
While it’s not known what Packer-Barham paid for the property, the apartment which covers an entire floor was passed in at auction on a vendor bid of $16 million.
