Senator Sarah Hanson-Young turns heads in a very revealing sheer dress at the Midwinter Ball in Canberra
Senator Sarah Hanson-Young surprised spectators at the Midwinter Ball in Canberra on Wednesday night when she appeared in a sheer dress.
The 42-year-old Australian Greens politician, who became the youngest woman ever elected to federal parliament, looked stunning in the sheer black dress.
The outer layer of the dress, which glittered in the light of the diamonds, fell over the South Australian senator’s frame and ended at his ankles.
A second layer of nudity below reached mid-thigh as she posed with her husband of two years, director of The Australia Institute, Ben Oquist.
Sarah wore her dark locks in a glamorous updo and paired her bold red lips with bright nail polish on her fingers and toes.
Sarah wore some must-have silver jewelry and had a big smile on her face as she snuggled up to her partner, who looked handsome in a black tuxedo.
Sarah and Ben tied the knot in 2022, when the South Australian Greens senator took a weekend off during a busy election campaign to marry her “best friend”.
The lovebirds tied the knot in front of 80 guests at Lobethal Road Wines, less than an hour’s drive northeast of Adelaide.

‘We’ve been friends for a long time and then when the pandemic hit, we fell in love and that’s how it happened.
“It was a beautiful transition from friendship to something more intimate and I feel like I’m marrying my best friend. We both feel so happy.”
