Carla Zampatti died on Saturday at age 78 – a week after falling down stairs at the opera in Sydney. 

And stars including Samantha Armytage, Julie Bishop and Rebecca Gibney have remembered the designer as they knew her best – through her stunning gowns. 

Samantha Armytage, 44, shared a number of photos to Instagram showing her in Zampatti’s designs, including a red number she wore to the 2019 Logies.

The former Sunrise host and equestrian businessman Richard, 61, tied the knot at his 40-hectare property in the picturesque Southern Highlands in NSW on New Year’s Eve, with Sam wearing a dress custom made by Zampatti for the occasion.   

The dress appeared to be based on Carla’s The White Elegance Dress, which retails on the designer’s website for $629.00.

Her family addressed the designer’s fall earlier this week, stating that Carla was in hospital for ‘observation’ following the accident.

A family spokesperson for Ms Zampatti told Daily Mail Australia on Monday: ‘Carla Zampatti had a fall at the Opera on Sydney Harbour on Friday night and is currently in hospital for observation.

‘Carla is very grateful for the support from medically trained members of the audience who assisted and for the excellent care from the team at St Vincent’s Hospital.’   

Opera Australia chief executive Rory Jeffes told The Sydney Morning Herald that staff looked after Ms Zampatti until an ambulance arrived on the scene.

Outpouring: 'Carla is Australia's most successful and enduring fashion designer, launching her eponymous label in 1965,' read a statement following her death

‘My understanding is that they just cared for her, she appeared to be in and out of consciousness and therefore they just made sure she was comfortable until the ambulance arrived,’ he said.
