Australian model makes rare public appearance
CATHERINE McNeil, one of Australia's hottest international models, made a rare public appearance in town on Thursday night, clearly putting to rest rumours she had put on weight or was suffering from a mystery virus.
It appears the healthy looking McNeil, who attended the Louis Vuitton Spring Racing celebration in Collins St, has simply being lying low - in between partying with, and snogging, on-again-off again gal pal Ruby Rose - and had wanted to take a break from the fashion circuit. But McNeil was not very forthcoming about why she had returned from New York so suddenly.
The model appeared to have lost the power of speech at the event and spoke only through her hard-working minder from modelling agency Chic.
"Catherine is here to spend time with her family," the minder curtly said."She has also being here shooting for the cover of Vogue's summer edition."
The only words McNeil uttered was that Vogue wanted to celebrate her newly-dyed blonde hair.
