Mother’s Day may traditionally conjure images of breakfast in bed and hastily wrapped bouquets, but on Friday afternoon, marie claire offered a more elevated interpretation of the occasion.
Hosted at Franca and presented by L’Oréal Paris, the marie claire Mother’s Day Lunch brought together a stylish mix of creatives, media personalities and fashion insiders for an intimate afternoon centred on motherhood, womanhood and modern family life.
Leading the afternoon’s conversation were Asher Keddie, Miranda Tapsell and Jessica Rowe, who reflected candidly on identity, ambition, reinvention and the evolving realities of motherhood. The discussion struck a balance between heartfelt and humorous, offering personal insights into the complexities and joys of modern family life.
As guests arrived at the chic Potts Point restaurant, Sydney’s crisp autumn weather set the tone for the afternoon’s fashion. Attendees embraced the “smart casual” dress code with ease, leaning into relaxed tailoring, soft neutrals, textured knitwear and understated accessories suited to the season.
If the event proved anything, it’s that Mother’s Day celebrations need not be confined to tradition. Sometimes, the most meaningful gatherings are simply those that make space for connection, conversation and a beautifully set table.
Ahead, see everything guests wore to the 2026 marie claire Mother’s Day Lunch.
