She is the daughter of an iconic Australian Olympian and a Balinese princess.
And Stella Klim has been making waves in the fashion industry in her own right since soaring to success as a model.
The eldest child of swimmer Michael Klim and his ex-wife Lindy once again showed off her style credentials as she stepped out at the 2025 Australian Open on Tuesday.
Stella looked every inch her famous mother’s mini-me as she joined some notable Australian talents at the sporting event’s Ralph Lauren Marquee.
She was effortlessly chic in a blue oversized shirt and a white skirt, which she teamed with a beige checkered blazer.
Stella, who recently moved back to Melbourne with her mother Lindy from Bali, completed her elegant ensemble with a pair of chunky black loafers.

The teenager stepped out at the glitzy affair alongside the likes of AFL WAG Annalise Dalins, actress Georgia Flood, and Billy Brownless’ daughters Lucy and Ruby.
Stella is the eldest child of Olympic swimmer Michael and his ex-wife Lindy as they also share two other children – Rocco, 16, and Frankie, 13.
The couple split in 2016 after six years of marriage but remain on amicable terms and were seen reuniting in Melbourne with their children over the festive season.
Lindy recently relocated back to Australia from Bali with her children following her separation from her second husband, Adam Ellis.
Lindy and the British property developer – who share a daughter Goldie, five – went their separate ways in October of last year after six years of marriage.
Speculation of their split first began to swirl when Lindy shared a picture without her ring on, with sources claiming the couple had been over for some time.
She then made a swift move back to Australia just weeks later, and then finally broke her silence on the breakdown of her marriage in November.
After months of speculation, she revealed that her estranged husband had been grappling with a private mental health battle, which affected her own wellbeing.

‘Adam and I have separated but we still love him,’ Lindy told Stellar magazine.
‘He’s an incredible father, not only to Goldie but to the rest of my children. But he’s been struggling with his mental health for the last two years which, in turn, has affected my personal wellbeing and my mental state as well.
‘Things really spiralled out of control. I’m not the person that Adam needs. I’m not a doctor.
‘I mean, I’m there for support, obviously, but I was being dragged under by everything.’
Lindy said she was ‘living with constant anxiety’ before her family eventually stepped in and raised their concerns about her health after she dramatically lost weight.
‘I got really, really skinny, but it wasn’t until I visited Australia that I realised the state I was in,’ she added.
After relocating to Melbourne, Lindy admitted she felt like she was starting ‘from scratch’ again as she addressed the big change.
Two years after her divorce from her first husband Michael in 2018, Lindy married Adam in a lavish Tuscan ceremony.
Highly-regarded athlete Michael retired from competitive swimming in 2007 and runs a swim school business in Bali, where he lives with his partner Michelle Owen.
