Bindi Irwin all grown up on the red carpet

Bindi Irwin shot to fame as a tiny wildlife warrior so you could be forgiven for failing to recognise the glamorous young woman who walked down the red carpet at the AACTA Awards last night.

The 15-year-old looked quite the lady in her long-sleeved floral frock, on-trend biker boots, tousled blonde hair and expertly-applied makeup.

But while her appearance has dramatically changed in the past few years, Bindi’s adventurous spirit and fun-loving personality appear to be unaltered – she couldn’t stop laughing and smiling as she walked the gauntlet of photographers, posing more confidently than stars three times her age.

Bindi was just seven when her father Steve Irwin died after a stingray barb pierced his heart while he was filming in the ocean.

She recently opened up about her late father, declaring him to be “the greatest dad on the planet”.
