Bindi Irwin & Her Mom Terri Looked Drop-Dead Gorgeous At The 2026 Steve Irwin Gala
Bindi Irwin's passion for nature isn't the only way she takes after her naturalist parents, as she and her mother Terri both looked beautiful when attending the 2026 Steve Irwin Gala. The annual event honors the legacy of the late Crocodile Hunter by raising money for environmental causes. Naturally, the mother-daughter duo dressed their best for the occasion.
Bindi, who's had a stunning transformation, wore the Canyon Gown from the Australian brand Aje, showing sartorial support for her home country. The teal number consisted of a strapless bodice, flower rosette at the hip, and a ruched skirt with a side slit. In addition to wearing loose curls reminiscent of Old Hollywood, she accessorized with a gold watch and dainty necklace.
Meanwhile, Terri posed in a black dress featuring colorful, botanical embroidery, with the piece seeming to be from a Gorman x Audrey Helen Weber collab. She wore her hair in loose waves accompanied by feathery bangs, while her makeup consisted of a nude-toned lip and notable blush. The two definitely took distinct approaches to their evening looks, but each looked drop dead gorgeous.
Bindi cites her mom as a personal muse in more ways than one
As seen at the 2026 Steve Irwin Gala, Bindi and her mom Terri make for a stunning mother-daughter pair. The strong resemblance makes sense. The former "Dancing with the Stars" contestant actually mentioned her mom when asked about her beauty inspiration back in 2019. "My mum is so amazing and effortlessly beautiful," she told 9Honey. Given that Bindi looks totally different with heavy makeup, it makes sense that the natural beauty is inspired by her mother's pared-back look.
Bindi admits that since she became a mom herself, welcoming a daughter with Chandler Powell in 2021, she has found a renewed respect for Terri. After Steve Irwin's death in 2006, the conservationist was left as a single mom to Bindi and son Robert. "[Mom] managed to raise two little kids as well as taking care of Australia Zoo and making sure it kept running, making sure Dad's legacy continued on, keeping up with all of our conservation work on a global scale," Bindi told People. "I am speechless. I don't know how she did it all. She's such a strong superwoman."
There's no denying Bindi and Terri Irwin stunned when stepping out in November, but the two's bond is seemingly much deeper than the skin. For even more, don't forget to check out the adorable, heartwarming pics of Bindi and her daughter Grace.
