From power politics to power-dressing, the Prime Minister has come out of her political shell at a Tourism New Zealand function in Sydney.
Dressed up as a paua, Helen Clark paraded before about 300 prominent Australians at Thursday night's event.
Her costume, called Quintessentially New Zealand, was part of the Nelson World of Wearable Art collection.
The event showcased New Zealand food, wine, arts and culture in a big new tourism push to attract more Australian visitors.
