Megan Gale is recently married - and she proudly flashed her ring as she attended a Lancôme event in Sydney on Tuesday night.
The 50-year-old model and former AFL star Shaun Hampson, 38, secretly wed in 2024 in an ultra-private ceremony in Fiji surrounded by their nearest and dearest.
And Megan appeared to have both her diamond engagement ring and a new diamond-encrusted wedding band on as she stepped out for the ritzy party.
Married life clearly agrees with her as the beauty was looking very fresh and youthful.
Megan appeared much younger than her years as she posed in a semi-sheer black gown.
The dress sat close to her famous model figure, and featured some draping along one shoulder.

She finished the ensemble with a mini pink designer purse.
The statuesque beauty previously confirmed that the couple exchanged vows in December 2024.
The intimate wedding was attended solely by their mothers and children, with no wider guest list and no advance notice given to anyone outside the tiny inner circle.
Gale explained the decision reflected who they are as a couple – deeply private, low-key and uninterested in spectacle.
'We never wanted a big, public, showy wedding,' she told Marie Claire magazine.
'When so much of my life has been public, it was really nice to not have this shared or over-shared,' she added.
'We wanted it just for us and the family.'

The tropical destination was carefully chosen, with the coral-fringed beaches and crystal-blue waters of Vomo Island holding special meaning for Gale due to her Polynesian heritage.
She also revealed the couple told loved ones at the last minute to maintain total discretion.
'We told them at dinner the night before,' said Megan.
'There was a lot of "What? No way!" But it made it more special.'
The wedding was kept secret for an entire year, with Gale admitting they only felt comfortable sharing the news now because enough time had passed.
The model-turned-actress previously admitted that she wasn't in a rush to tie the knot with her partner of 14 years because the thought of planning a wedding is 'exhausting'.
'It has been the longest engagement ever,' she joked before going on to discuss why she hasn't walked down the aisle yet.
'Look, it was always something […] that we were in no rush to do.

'Traditionally everyone's like: get engaged, plan the wedding, have the kids.
'I've never been a really big wedding girl. The whole lot seems like a lot of work for me. I'm just exhausted thinking about it,' she added.
Megan said that for her, having a family was a much bigger priority than having a large wedding.
Megan and Shaun welcomed their two children – a son River, 11, and daughter Rosie, eight – before he popped the question in 2017.
'[We] thought, the kids are here. Let's wait 'til they're old enough to be involved [in a wedding] and remember it,' she added.
