Phoebe Burgess cut a notably slender figure this week as she showcased her wardrobe on social media. The ex-wife of NRL star Sam Burgess took to Instagram on Tuesday for an impromptu fashion parade.
Instagram Fashion Show
Phoebe, 36, shared a short montage clip that featured her modeling an array of jackets from Spanish fashion label Zara. Wearing a pair of wide-leg jeans cinched at the waist with a thick brown leather belt, she paraded her svelte form while donning a collection of outerwear, ranging from leather jackets to long overcoats with faux fur collars.
She appeared to be thoroughly enjoying herself, beaming broadly as she posed energetically in front of the mirror. Captioning the post, Phoebe hinted that the displayed clothes were merely the tip of her jacket collection. 'Current @zara jacket game is stronger than ever... (this is only PART I),' she wrote.
Follower Reactions
The post garnered much adoration from Phoebe's followers, many of whom commented with heart-eyed emojis. One follower succinctly expressed the sentiment: 'You always look stunning.'
Return to Social Media
After a months-long absence from social media, Phoebe re-emerged on Instagram in February, looking refreshed while in Queensland. She showcased her very slender frame, deep tan, and fresh complexion in a carousel of photos celebrating her time in Noosa during the school holidays.
In the comments section, a few people inquired about Phoebe's plump pout. 'What have you done to your lips?' one asked, while another commented, 'Don't know about those lips.' Meanwhile, others praised the single mother's summer look. 'All looking tanned and terrific,' one said, and another wrote: 'Gorgeous x'
Recent Public Appearances
Phoebe also unveiled her slimmed-down figure in a post featuring a blue and black striped maxi dress as she cuddled up to her daughter Poppy, nine, and son Billy, seven. More recently, in March, she turned heads with her slender frame at a Lancôme event in Sydney. The 36-year-old was on trend in a baggy satin blouse with a sleeveless design, paired with matching wide-cut trousers.
Anti-Bullying Advocacy
Prior to her social media hiatus, Phoebe's last post promoted an anti-bullying campaign led by Snapchat and the anti-bullying organization Project Rockit. Speaking to Daily Mail about the campaign in November, she admitted that while she has learned to 'ride the ups and downs,' she once believed online trolling was simply part of life on social media.
'It's been a constant for the past decade, and for a long time I genuinely believed that choosing to work in this space meant accepting every opinion, judgement, and comment that came with it,' she said. 'I told myself it was the price of doing what I love – and that I somehow deserved the ugly parts as much as the good.'
Phoebe added: 'There's no invisible barrier that protects you from comments or the people who write them, so I built one myself. I shrank my world to fall off the radar. I stopped reading any headline about myself and, for almost two years now, I haven't clicked on a single story with my name in it. I barely consume news at all. I went to fewer work events to stay less visible, and I disappeared from social media for months at a time.'
Personal Life
Phoebe and Sam split in October 2019 after four tumultuous years of marriage. They had initially separated in December 2018, shortly after the birth of their son Billy, but reconciled in April only to end things for good six months later.
