Melbourne’s most famous faces were out in force on the weekend, celebrating celebrity fashion stylist Lana Wilkinson’s 40th birthday.

Among the high-profile attendees of the star-studded bash were AFL WAGs Rebecca Judd and Emma Hawkins as well as controversial influencer Nadia Bartel.

The glamorous event was hosted at Gardens House in the city’s Royal Botanic Gardens, with Lana and her guests going all out in the style stakes to celebrate the milestone birthday.

Mum-of-four Bec dazzled in a designer $899 sequined mini-dress by designer DIIDA.

The brand told news.com.au there has been a “buzz” on the brand’s website after Bec was snapped in the party outfit.

“As a designer I love seeing DIIDA on strong, beautiful women like Bec,” Diida Papafotiou, founder of the brand, said.

“Being a Melbourne fashion icon, she definitely created a buzz in stores with clientele coming in to see the dress in real life.

“It’s great to see Melbourne’s event scene coming back to life, giving women a chance to pull out their best party dress.”

The “Gisele” gown features an asymmetrical neckline with delicate spaghetti straps – and fans were quick to comment on how “beautiful” she looked wearing it.

Posing for a photo with the birthday girl, the 39-year-old – who is married to former AFL star Chris Judd – beamed into the camera as she hugged her friend.

“Happy birthday my beautiful friend. What a night! Love you long time @lanawilkinson,” she captioned the adorable photo.

Lana’s outfit was equally as show stopping, wearing an “incredible” custom orange number designed by Effie Kats with a pair of her own Lana Wilkinson heels.
