The 30-year-old model, who is the son of TV veteran Richard Wilkins, turned on the drama for the VIP show, posing for photos in a bold outfit that included sheer black gloves with pointy artificial fingernails.
Baring his chest in a tank top that showed off his new, buff tanned look, Christian wore black pleated wide-leg trousers, which he paired with matching split-toe boots.
Wearing his long hair in a stylish combover, the red carpet regular accessorised with a gold pendant and chain, and carried a sky blue handbag over one shoulder.
Christian added extra flair with purple eyeshadow flecked with glitter and a touch of lip gloss.
The social media celebrity was later seen posing with fashion entrepreneurs Alyce and Caroline Tran.

Also attending the show at Carriageworks were Sunrise reporter Katie Brown and designer Michael Lo Sordo.
Guests were treated to a high-energy gig from 34-year-old South Korean DJ Peggy Gou, who rocked the house with tracks like It Goes Like Nanana and Starry Night.
Hosted by tequila brand Don Julio for a select group of VIP guests, the show was the only Sydney gig for the performer, who played ahead of the Australian Open final in Melbourne on Sunday.
Ahead of the exciting set, the VIPs were spotted enjoying cocktails, custom bucket hats, and bespoke nails.
According to one eyewitness, the only downside to the evening, organised by Carriageworks and Untitled Group, was that it ended all too soon - with the show wrapping up at 10.30 pm.
Christian recently reflected on the life-changing fitness journey that transformed him from a runway waif to a gym-honed powerhouse.
The model has been quietly undergoing a metamorphosis over the past few years, turning his back on the ultra-lean frame often demanded by the fashion world and embracing strength and muscle.
'For a long time, my modelling work leaned into my androgyny - runway and women's wear campaigns - so I tried to stay as lean as possible,' the influencer told Daily Mail.

'That meant long cardio sessions and lighter weights, more about toning than strength.
In recent years, however, Christian has embraced his strength and allowed his body to gain size.
'Lifting heavy is now the focus, and I genuinely love it. I fought my changing body for a while, but accepting that I can't be a waif forever has been freeing. I feel stronger, fitter, and more confident than ever,' he said.
As for his fitness routine, Christian says he lifts weights five days a week, completing a rowing session or yoga on the other days.
Specifically, he attends classes at Body By Brando, a CrossFit-style gym in Sydney's Darlinghurst that offers structured strength and conditioning programs, with a focus on weight lifting.
'At my gym, it feels like a family - everyone cheers each other on. I'm often dancing in the back during rest periods, chatting, or spotting someone else's lift,' he enthused.
