Sophia Banadinovich, the daughter of Australian actor Eric Bana, has made her catwalk debut – just a year after signing with a top modeling agency.
Sophia, 23, made sure all eyes were on her as she hit the catwalk for Melbourne accessories brand Orangecube.
The glamorous brunette modeled some of the latest handbags and jewelery from the collection.
Although the fashion show was not part of the official line-up, the popular brand saw several famous faces walk the catwalk.
Among them, stylist Jamie Azzopardi, Netflix star Kylah Day and AFLW star Akec Makur Chuot and TikToker Alicia Djurovic showed their work.
Sophia signed with Emma Raciti Management, a leading independent Australian talent agency, last year.
She has already worked as a model after signing with Melbourne agency The Talent Buro and agency Giant Management last year.
Previously spoken to The Herald Sunthe dancer, model and now actress said she broadened her interests with the support of her family and friends.

“I think dancing and modeling complement each other in many ways,” she told the publication.
‘As dancers, we learn from a young age to have a strong awareness of our bodies, our physicality and the way we hold ourselves.
‘Modelling was something I had never personally considered, but with the guidance and support of my friends and family, I decided why not give it a try? I’m definitely a beginner, but I’m curious to see where it can go!’
Sophia added that while studying dance, she has not ruled out acting and also following in her father’s footsteps as an actor.

“Acting is something I would like to try if I can devote more focus, time and energy,” she said.
In a series of Instagram posts, the brunette, who looks a lot like her acclaimed actor father, has documented her glamorous lifestyle.
As for whether the Dirty John star has given her advice on how to get into the entertainment business, Sophia admits she tries not to rely on him too much.
‘He doesn’t really talk about it that much. I’m just trying to figure it out on my own, I don’t want to rely on him too much. If I had any questions, I could ask them,” she added.
Eric and his wife Rebecca Gleeson share Sophia and a 26-year-old son Klaus together.
