Olympian Noemie Fox shows off her glamorous side in fitted red frock as she pops a cork at Australian Open

Olympian Noemie Fox displayed gold medal class on Friday when she stepped out to pop a few corks at the Australian Open.

The slalom canoe champion, 27, was at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne in her capacity as an ambassador or 'insider' for Piper-Heidsieck champagne.

The high-end French label was opening its champagne bar on the arena terrace and the gold medalist was there for the festivities.

Noemie cut quite the glamorous figure in a strapless red maxi dress that flaunted her toned shoulders and arms.

Bearing a strikingly similar colour to the label Noemie was spruiking, the dress featured a sash embellishment around her svelte waist.

Leaving her brunette locks to cascade down her back for the occasion, Noemie finished her ensemble with a pair of pain white heels.

She accessorised with some gold on her ears, wrist and around her neck, augmenting  her look with a light rose shade on her lip.

Noemie appeared chuffed to be popping a few corks at the event, beaming broadly  as she posed flanked by the men's and women's singles trophies.

All of that posing was obviously thirsty work but, luckily for Noemie, there. was plenty of champagne on hand.

The Olympic champion happily quaffed bubbles from a red Piper-Heidsieck champagne flute.

 The two-time world champion captured the nations heart when she won gold in the women's slalom kayak cross at the 2024 Paris Olympics, making her the first Olympic champion in that event.

Her sister Jessica also took home two gold medals in Paris, in he women's C1 and K1 slalom events, taking her Olympic medal collection to six.

The sisters produced an unforgettable moment when the unheralded Noemie won gold in the kayak cross.

The sight of an emotional Jessica jumping into the water to celebrate her younger sister's success on her Olympic debut was one of the most memorable scenes of the Games.

The sisters were also named as joint recipients of the. prestigious Don Award in November. 

Noemie told AAP after the recognition  the Fox family, including mother and coach Myriam, and father and commentator Richard, had re-watched the moment multiple times.

'We definitely let ourselves enjoy the success, relive the success, because it was truly so special, truly unique and such a sensational Games for us,' Noemie said.

'I'm used to being in the shadows, and obviously the world and Australia specifically, has seen Jess as a sporting legend, but it does feel like suddenly with everyone knowing my name and knowing kayak cross since Paris, it's been this whole new world. 

'Because they followed Jess so closely, they've really latched on and supported me as well, and that's been incredibly special.

She added that knowing that the country was behind her despite the relatively small size of. her sport felt 'amazing' 

'Feeling the whole of Australia behind you when you win in such a small sport was truly amazing,' Noemie said.

'And to receive an award together, and to know that our performance and the way we really supported each other really inspired the nation, it's a huge privilege, and it's something that we'll remember for the rest of our lives.'

Jessica added that winning the Don Award, named after Australian cricketing icon Don Bradman, with her sister was a dream come true.

'What's hard is that often we're up against each other for these sorts of awards and so that's tough, so to actually win it together is really special,' she said. 

'It's been a journey that we've shared together, and Paris was so special for our whole family. 

'It's just been really incredible to see the impact that it's had, and how many people who watched it felt the emotion and I think that's especially what resonated with people.
