The model girlfriend of Kings Cross identity John Ibrahim swapped the catwalk for the courtroom this week, donning elegant and edgy looks as she fights gun possession charges.
Sarah Budge has been strutting for photographers outside her Downing Centre District Court trial, which heard the glamorous Sydney restaurant owner blames her 51-year-old lover or one of his associates for planting a loaded Glock 26 pistol in her bedroom without her knowledge.
The 29-year-old has been stepping out in timeless, well-constructed outfits proving she’s “not actually out there trying to draw attention to herself”, Sydney stylist Caitlin Stewart says.
On Wednesday Budge showcased “the finest in sharp tailoring with a real modern touch” by pairing stilettos, a white shirt and a grey blazer, she said.
“I love the way it also flashes her shape. It ties back a bit with her general style and haircut so it is a bit edgy,” Ms Stewart said.
On Tuesday the stunning beauty’s look turned more serious with a monochromatic pant and coat ensemble.
“It’s elegant, timeless and fits the bill for a courtroom scenario, however can transcend easily across to the fashion scene,” Ms Stewart said.
And on day one of her trial Budge arrived at court wearing a $400 blue Scanlan Theodore skirt with a black Celine handbag worth more than $3,000.
“This draws on soft neutrals with a slightly more feminine feel. I really like the modest feel,” Ms Stewart said.
