She's the former Miss Universe contender, but now the world is her oyster. The new year has a lot in store for the model formerly known as Jesinta Campbell. After a big 2016 where she became an official David Jones ambassador, the local face of Olay Total Effects landed her first Harper's Bazaar cover. Franklin also pulled off the biggest coup of 2016 – her private, intimate wedding. The Franklins married in secret in November, around the same time her first book, Live a Beautiful Life, was selling out and the publisher green-lit a second print run. All details for the nuptials in the Blue Mountains were booked under alias which took even the couple by surprise.

"'Shaz and Tony' were two the names we booked some of the things under," she told Fairfax Media. "The wedding planner came up with that, we found out when we rocked up to the wedding that that's who it was for."

Franklin wore two custom-made dresses gifted to her from renowned bridal designer Vera Wang.

Now Jesinta and former Sydney Swans' player Lance "Buddy" Franklin plan on keeping their private life out of the public eye.

"We don't walk heaps of red carpets together, we're not really into that, we do it for our jobs, if it's a part of our job we'll do it but we don't go out of our way to walk a red carpet or sell a story. People don't actually know that much about our lives; they think they do, but they don't," she said.

Philanthropy will be something that will be a focus for the "Franklin brand" in 2017 when the couple will align themselves with a children's charity.

"So often you see people with public profiles lend their name to things but what is that actually achieving?" she said. "We actually want to do something that is going to make a difference, whether it's one person's life or 50 people's lives but we really want to make a difference."

The fashion designer reached record revenue in 2016 thanks to Beyonce and McCall's hyper-feminine aesthetic, playsuits that people over the age of 30 can wear. The Hold Up singer was McCall's biggest fan last year.

After she wore numerous pieces of the Australian-designed wares many items in McCall's range sold out. Over the past three months Beyonce has donned more than seven Alice McCall outfits, all of which were showcased on her Instagram account which has an audience of more than 90 million followers.

When Bey pulled on the $450 Senorita dress from McCall's latest collection in November website traffic grew by 80 per cent in one day. The dress in question drove 25 per cent of daily sales.

It's the perfect launch pad for McCall who, in addition to a foray into the Chinese retail market, is now hoping to expand her market share in the United States.

While his dad was renowned for his impressive mop of hair back in the MTV days, Wilkins' luscious locks rival Rapunzel's. Agents predict "Christian with the good hair" will be in high-demand in the fashion world in 2017.
