Lara Bingle looks stylish in leather coat and chopped hair as she celebrates her 34th birthday

She’s undergone a style transformation since her days as an very bronzed bikini model. 

And Lara Bingle celebrated her 34th birthday in style on Tuesday as she stepped out with friends in Potts Point, Sydney, on Tuesday. 

Sporting a newly-cropped hairstyle, the mother-of-three looked effortlessly chic as she strolled towards Fratelli Paradiso restaurant ahead of her exclusive birthday bash.   

Lara was dressed to impress in a black leather trench coat, which is believed to be designed by Kwaidan Edition and worth $2350. 

She teamed the luxury outerwear with straight-legged black trousers and a tartan-print buttoned shirt.

For accessorises, Lara topped off her on-trend ensemble with oversized sunglasses, black patent boots and a series of gold rings.

Clearly in good spirits, Lara was seen smiling and chatting with her pals on the footpath.

At one stage, she was seen hugging a female pal after she gave the model a large bouquet of flowers. 

Not sighted was Lara’s husband Sam Worthington, 44, who recently starred in the Sydney Theatre Company production of the Wesley Enoch directed comedy, Appropriate. 

Lara and her husband Sam arrived back in Australia with their children in January. 

Reports surfaced last year that the couple were planning to move Down Under on a permanent basis after living in the U.S. 

The couple have been based in the US with their sons Rocket, five, and Racer, four, for a number of years.

In June 2020, they welcomed their most recent addition, a baby boy, named River.
