New mother Lara Bingle shows her maternal side as she dotes over a small child at Westfield event and turns heads in unusual loose-fitting black and white dress

She gave birth to her baby son Rocket Zot earlier this year. 

And Lara Bingle certainly showed her maternal side at an event in Sydney last week.

The 28-year-old model was seen doting over a small child as she arrived at Westfield Bondi Junction for a meet and greet with her fans.

The beauty entrepreneur also turned heads in an eye-catching black and white dress by one of her favourite Australian designers, Dion Lee, as she posed for photographs and chatted to loyal customers of her The Base By Lara Bingle skin care range.

Despite the low key nature of the event, the Australian-born beauty made sure she looked her best in the loose-fitting garment, which was made from a weave pattern and featured a playful hanging hem.

The frock, which slightly swathed her petite frame, channelled the starlet's new grown-up style.

The Westfield style ambassador paired the ensemble with a pair of towering black lace up boots by French fashion couture powerhouse Balmain, to boost her 5ft 5inch frame.

Allowing the dress to be the statement piece, Lara kept her jewellery and her make-up minimal as she walked the media wall with her hand often placed on her stomach.

The former reality star was sporting her usual radiant sun kissed glow, no doubt achieved by her popular self-tanning range.

The fashion forward model styled her cropped blonde tresses in her effortless trademark 'Bingle Bob' as she looked at ease mingling with fans.

In order to meet Lara and grab a quick snap, fans had to make a purchase from her skin care range on the night.

Lara - who has never looked better - revealed the secret behind her glowing appearance to Mornings host Sonia Kruger and David Campbell earlier this month.

Speaking from the Bazaar in Bloom Brunch event at the Coogee Pavilion in Sydney, the blonde beauty gushed: 'I'm just super happy, to be honest.'

The beauty entrepreneur also elaborated on her new life with seven-month-old son Rocket, with actor Sam Worthington, telling the co-hosts she is constantly learning.

'I'm just really enjoying it, finding out who this little man is, is super exciting for me and I learn so many things from him each day,' she said.

The event, promoting the Royal Hospital for Women's Fertility Research Centre's new public clinic, was one the model mum was excited to be a part of. 

'I really appreciate being able to conceive naturally and to support other women trying fulfill their dreams in becoming a new mum,' she explained.

She also confessed that as a young woman she took for granted being able to have a baby and get pregnant. 

This month the model, who is the Harper's Bazaar Australia cover girl for November, has been showing off her glowing and relaxed new look as she promoted the new issue and her skincare range The Base. 

Wait, there's a catch! In order to meet Lara and grab a quick snap, fans had to make a purchase from her skin care range on the night
