Kylie Lim, the fiancée of Australian billionaire James Packer, has provided a rare insight into her extensive international social network. Images surfacing from a yacht holiday in Turkey last August showcase Lim, a former model, enjoying time with a diverse group of prominent figures from fashion, business, and high society.
Among those pictured on the Mediterranean getaway was Francesca Versace, niece of the late fashion designer Gianni Versace and daughter of Santo Versace, former CEO of the iconic Italian fashion house. Francesca is a well-known figure within European elite fashion and society circles.
Also present was Turkish businesswoman and philanthropist Berna Uyanoglu Meehan, a regular on the Mediterranean social scene and known for her connections across Turkey, Europe, and the United States. Berna is married to businessman Patrick Meehan Jr., who also attended the holiday. The group, including Lim, Versace, and Meehan, were photographed together at Scorpios Bodrum, a noted exclusive beach club in Turkey.
Lim's wider circle includes Bella Hunter Friedman, an Australian socialite and musician based in New York. Bella is married to American furniture entrepreneur Gary Friedman and is often seen at VIP events and fashion shows. Her social engagements have included appearances alongside notable figures such as Sydney Sweeney, Theo James, Zoe Saldaña, and Regé-Jean Page.
Italian publicist and content creator Lulu Buti is also identified as a close friend of Lim. Other friends of Lim mentioned include American real estate agent Ariane Benjamin, former NBA player turned DJ Rony Seikaly, and Australian socialite Michelle Walsh, owner of the event planning company Luxe Attaché. Walsh is married to Martin Walsh, owner of Chadwick Models.
Lim, who was born in Canada, began her career as a model before establishing herself on New York's social scene, building connections in fashion, entertainment, and business. Her relationship with James Packer, a prominent Australian billionaire, has drawn public interest.
Packer announced his engagement to Lim in March, following reports of her wearing a diamond ring in Aspen, Colorado. The couple, who were previously together from late 2017 to 2020, rekindled their romance last year. Packer has previously credited Lim with providing support during a difficult period in his life after his 2016 split from Mariah Carey and subsequent battle with substance abuse.
