“Congratulations @BindiIrwin! A well deserved award for all your work to protect wildlife and wild places,” she wrote on Twitter, retweeting a post by her son Robert which included the portrait by photographer Felix Kunze.
There was no khaki gear in sight as the family of wildlife conservationists posed at the glam event.
Bindi also shared the photo on social media, writing on Instagram: “Here’s to dedicating our lives to protecting, exploring and creating change for our Mother Earth. Thank you ECAD for the President’s Award for Conservation and congratulations to the extraordinary awardees.”
Bindi’s husband Chandler Powell commented on the photo, gushing about how proud he is of his wife.
Bindi and Robert are the children of Terri and the late Steve Irwin, who was killed by a stingray in 2006, aged 44.
The couple would have celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary last year. At the time, Terri took to social media to share a tribute to her late husband.
“I married this incredible bloke 30 years ago today. What an adventure! Love and legacy live on,” she wrote on Twitter, alongside a photo of the couple.
