Melbourne, June 1 : Australian model Lara Bingle did not show up at a lavish lunch of Swedish label Acne in Sydney on Sunday.

She was expected to be one of the star guests at the soiree, held at Strickland House in Vaucluse.

A host of photographers were also eagerly waiting for the model to arrive at the event.
