It's been two years since her marriage to media mogul Rupert Murdoch fell apart, but Wendi Deng Murdoch has managed to maintain her high-flying socialite lifestyle. 

The 46-year-old was one of the many fashionable faces gathered at the Gagosian Gallery on Sunday to celebrate the launch of Derek Blasberg and Glenda Bailey's new book Bazaar Models, celebrating the iconic cover stars of Harper's Bazaar - from Jean Shrimpton to Christy Turlington.

Wendi's oldest daughter, 13-year-old Grace Helen, was not in attendance with her mom and sister at the launch, but did accompany the pair to the Von Furstenberg show in what looked to be a sequin-covered romper.

Wendi and the father of her daughters, Rupert Murdoch split back in June 2013 among rumors that she had become too close with former British Prime Minister and close ally of 84-year-old billionaire Rupert, Tony Blair. Their divorce was finalized that November. 

Following the divorce, love notes Wendi had written about the politician, describing how she missed him and had a 'crush' on him.
