It wasn’t so much breakfast at Tiffany’s but champagne, diamonds and a famous Jenner at one of the hot tickets on the Aussie social scene.
While Tiffany & Co. unveiled its new flagship store in Sydney on Pitt Street, all eyes were on special guest, model and TV personality, Kendall Jenner, who flew into Sydney Thursday morning. She even made a tracksuit looked chic while arriving at the airport.
As she walked along the red carpet, Kendall told media “there is a lot I love about Australia…the atmosphere reminds me of home”.

Ms Jenner, 23, is dating Australian basketballer for the Philadelphia 76ers and GQ Australia cover star Ben Simmons (who unfortunately didn’t jump out of a big blue signature Tiffany box) while security around the mega model was tight.
As one of the 5 ‘K’-named daughters of “mum-ager”, Kris Jenner, Kendall (with 107 million Instagram followers hanging on her ever move) is the older sis to fellow model Kylie (with a mere 131m followers) and is half sister to Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian. You couldn’t make this stuff up.
Kendall was joined by CEO Alessandro Bogliolo, A$AP Ferg, Lara Worthington, Jesinta Franklin and Victoria Lee who all celebrated what is deemed Australia’s best Tiffany store.

The flagship store takes up 1,800 square metres and will become the ultimate luxury shopping destination in Australia. From the unique facade design to its gracious interiors, the store echoes the company’s global reputation and 182-year history that includes Sydney, where Tiffany first opened a store in 1994.
In fact, the store will be one of the top ten flagships worldwide and is of great international importance to the brand.

The launch was a visual spectacular with lot of colour although the starting post was black, as guests wandered down the “black” carper. After drinks in the style-fuelled store, guests made their way downstairs to an unconventional location under the store, which had been painted ‘Tiffany’ blue.
For the first time, the store also featured a large permanent assortment of Tiffany ‘High Jewellery’ with pieces being among the world’s most precious and exceedingly rare creations.

There were also custom installations created exclusively for the store by nine up-and-coming and established Australian artists including Lisa Cahill, Anna Wili Highfield and Gemma O’Brien.
As one of the world’s most popular “influencers”, Kendall recently responded to her involvement in the ill-fated Fyre Festival.
The music festival — which enlisted a whole crew of highly paid models to promote it — was the subject of a fascinating Netflix documentary and created a huge stir, with people losing major bucks, when the whole event was deemed a disaster, before it even started.

As one of the highest-paid models, Jenner was reportedly paid $500,000 to attend the Tiffany event and also shot a Vogue cover in her 24-hour Sydney stay.
