Natalie looked fantastic that day, wearing a figure-hugging black dress with feather sleeves and a glittering headband.
She previously told Ny Breaking Australia that the secret behind her amazing figure and incredibly youthful complexion is ‘looking after herself’ and then ‘eating or drinking whatever she wants on holiday’.
“Sleeping is probably best,” she explained.
“I go on a lot of little detox holidays and take good care of myself, and then I eat what I want and drink something, so I just enjoy life,” she added.
