Karina wore pink rope tied around her waist, chest and neck at the event.
The brunette paired her unique top with some simple black trousers and black high heels.
She wore her glossy locks up on a high ponytail and accessorised with some large metal hoops earrings.
Back in 2018, Karina revealed that despite sporting a different hair colour to her starlet sister, she is constantly mistaken for the actress.
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, she said instead of feeling annoyed when people think she is Raechelle, it gives her great pride in her sibling.
'It happens almost every day and and it's really flattering because it's amazing to see how many people are touched by Raechelle's work,' she said.
Karina added that people rarely believe her when she explains that she is Raechelle's sister.
'People often don't tend to believe me when I say I am her twin, they think I'm trying to get out of a photo,' she revealed.
Karina is an actress in her own right and even appeared on the popular Channel Seven soap in 2005 when she played 'Young Cassie'.
Since then, Karina has acted in various short films and mini-series as well as finding work behind the camera as a writer, producer and assistant director.

EXCLUSIVE Kanye West's wife Bianca Censori is nearly naked in wild outfit after calls for 'public indecency' arrest
Kanye West 's wife Bianca Censori pulled off another jaw-dropping stunt in New York City on Saturday. Since their secret 2022 wedding, Bianca has made a habit of turning heads with the barely-there outfits her husband styles her in — and the Big Apple outing was no exception. This latest near-naked moment only adds to a long list of viral looks, with her most unforgettable being that sheer, nothing-to-the-imagination dress at the 2025 Grammys. She's also sparked controversy abroad — notably during her scandalous, skin-baring strolls in Spain, where she even faced calls to be arrested for public indecency. Just two days ago, Bianca stepped out daringly in a plunging nude leotard that left little to the imagination. Saturday's NYC outing was no different, with the stunner hitting the streets alongside her famous husband in a black fur-trimmed coat that barely covered her breasts. Her skimpy black underwear also left her lower half practically exposed. Bianca and Kanye were spotted leaving a hotel together, with the rapper trailing closely behind the Australian beauty. While Bianca's daring outfit left little to the imagination, Kanye kept it low-key in an all-black ensemble of leather pants and a leather jacket. He completed the look with dark sunglasses, keeping a noticeably low profile amid the media frenzy. The couple's contrasting styles couldn't have been more obvious as they made their way through the city streets. The outing comes after 50 Cent wasted no time taking aim at Kanye and Bianca after the rapper made a surprise appearance at Sean ' Diddy ' Combs' federal sex trafficking trial last Friday. The 49-year-old Grammy winner, who has been an outspoken critic of Diddy, weighed in after Kanye showed up at the Manhattan courthouse alongside Diddy's son Christian Combs. West told reporters he was there to show support for the embattled Bad Boy Records founder. Diddy is facing explosive allegations from federal prosecutors, who claim he ran a criminal enterprise that facilitated so-called 'freak offs' — alleged drug-fueled orgies involving paid sex workers. Shortly after West's appearance, 50 Cent took to Instagram to mock the couple, posting an AI-generated photo of himself dressed in an all-white outfit next to footage of Kanye arriving at court in his own similar all-white ensemble. In his caption, the In Da Club hitmaker didn't hold back, even referencing Censori's nearly-nude look from the Grammy Awards red carpet earlier this year. 'We are wearing white in honor of the freak offs,' 50 Cent wrote. 'Damn Ye you should have brought your dirty little wife with that Grammys outfit! @50centaction' Meanwhile, Kanye was reportedly not on the approved attendee list for the day and was instructed to watch the proceedings via a closed-circuit video feed in the overflow room. He left the courthouse after about 30 minutes. Since walking down the aisle with Censori, the rapper has encouraged his wife to wear a number of very racy looks, which have caused a stir online. Last month, Censori angered locals after baring her breasts in a sheer bra during a shopping trip with West in Spain. Locals were 'left horrified' as the couple walked through the market in the revealing ensemble. One witness told People were horrified. They could be heard asking "is that her real nipple?" as they walked by.' Despite the backlash, women have been allowed to go topless in certain areas of Spain since 2020 under Catalan equality law. 'We have literally seen it all, even when we didn't want to,' another said, while a third wrote: 'So disrespectful to the country and their modest views.' 'How do they get away with this nudity? If any other non - celeb tried it, they would be arrested,' another asked. No strangers to scandal, West and Censori have continuously raised eyebrows over their choices in clothing, with Bianca's barely-there looks sparking fury from locals. During a previous Italian trip in 2023, Censori wore a slew of eccentric outfits during the couple's getaway. At the time, a source close to her husband told the New York Post claimed that Censori was 'talked into' wearing the nude dress. One of Kanye's earliest controversies with Kim came in 2016, when he released 'Famous' and included the line, 'I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex… I made that b***h famous,' which Kim later defended with secretly recorded audio 'She would have much rather worn a pretty dress,' the insider said. 'She would have enjoyed the evening a lot more.' West is said to have lost a $20 million deal to play in Japan as a result of his controversial stunt. A source said: 'Kanye is just ****ing up every opportunity that comes to him. The stunt was creepy beyond belief and has been greeted with horror in Japan.' He added: 'Japan is having a cultural awakening about women's rights and the MeToo movement is really strong here. What he did is being seen as an act of coercive control which is utterly unacceptable. He has completely culturally misjudged Japan.'
