In true supermodel fashion, Heidi sported a revealing thigh-high split gown which flashed a glimpse of her lithe legs.Sporting a golden sun kissed complexion, the striking blonde wore her locks tied off her face into a loose bun as she shared a laugh with her old friend Mario.
Halting festivities to pause for a quick snap, Mario wrapped his arms around the 42-year-old German model's waist, as the pair posed for a snap with Vogue magazine editor-in-chief Edwina McCann.

Heidi is in Sydney filming scenes for the new season of Germany's Next Top Model, but the star happily took time out from her busy schedule to join Mario at the star-studded bash.
Ahead of the function, which marks the end of Mario's five-day shoot, Vogue also took to Instagram to give fans a sneak peek at the party's lavish venue.
Sharing an idyllic shot of the stunning location, which boasts sprawling lush lawns, it was easy to see why the heritage-listed estate was selected to host the legendary snapper's celebratory bash.
'It's a wrap! #MarioTestino celebrates the end of shoot week,' Vogue wrote.

Also on hand to help the famed photographer celebrate his visit to Australia and work with the monthly fashion title, was Jessica who shot a sultry bikini editorial with him earlier in the week.
A number of Australian fashion elite were also in attendance, including Australian model Gemma Ward and designers Nicky Zimmermann and Dion Lee.

Meanwhile, after touching down in Sydney on Wednesday after a long haul flight from Los Angeles, Heidi Klum wasted no time getting straight into work as she spent the day filming for Germany's Next Top Model at Sydney's Circular Quay on Thursday.
The mother-of-four has been the host and judge of the German version of the program founded by Tyra Banks since 2006.
Meanwhile Mario, who has had some of the biggest names in film, fashion and royalty pose for him, will guest edit the upcoming April edition of Vogue Australia.
The photographer, who is one of the most highly regarded photographers in the industry, gained international recognition for his intimate portraits of Diana, Princess of Wales.
He is also well known for his pictures of Kate Moss, whom he describes as his greatest muse.

One of the most prolific photographers in the industry, Mario's illustrious career has spanned 35 years.
While the subjects of his work often err on the side of international fame, his portfolio also includes those whom he encounters on his travels.
Mario's visit comes after a partnership was struck between Vogue and Destination NSW.
Born in Peru, he abandoned his studies of Economics, Law and International Affairs to study photography in 1976.
His work first appeared in Vogue in 1983, and the rest, as they say, is history.
He has gone on to create images for international brands such as Chanel, Valentino, Calvin Klein and Mercedes Benz.
Come fashion week, he is a motif in the front row, often seated next to supermodels and stars of the industry, such as Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Jourdan Dunn.
