Phoebe Burgess matches with couch for self-isolation challenge


Phoebe Burgess is making the most of her time during self-isolation amid the coronavirus pandemic.

And on Friday, the former journalist, 30, took part in the latest Instagram challenge – ‘haute couchture’ – created by fashion ‘it’ girls Nadia Fairfax and Montarna Pitt. 

Stars and everyday Australians are encouraged to ‘get up and glam up’ as they don their most dazzling outfit, while reclining on their sofa at home. 

‘When you outfit coordinate with a couch!’ Phoebe Burgess (pictured), 30, matched her surrounds in a dainty floral frock for a glamorous ‘self-isolation challenge’, on Friday 

Phoebe, who is currently at her family’s Southern Highlands estate, opted for a high-neck, floral Zimmermann frock, with ruffle detail at the bust.  

The dress was somewhat similar to Kim Kardashian’s infamous Met Gala gown, and Phoebe joked online about how she blended in nicely with the family’s floral couch.

Striking a number of playful poses, the mother-of-two styled her blonde locks out and straight, added a slick of red lipstick, and statement crystal drop earrings.

The couple split for a second time in October last year. They initially separated in December 2018.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison and immunologists have urged Australians to stay at home unless absolutely necessary, amid the coronavirus pandemic.   

They say it will be critical in slowing the virus’ spread and help prevent overloading hospital intensive care units.
