Rosie Waterland covers the G'day USA Gala live from Los Angeles

Today is the annual GDay USA Back Tie gala in Los Angeles, and guess who major partner Qantas has sent to the fancy schmancy party? Our very own Rosie Waterland.

Gday USA is a program that aims to showcase everything that’s great about Australia in the United States – and the gala is the crowning jewel of the program. The very best Australian food and wine is served to a room full of influential Australians doing great things in the US (so lots and lots of celebs!).

Rosie will be hobnobbing with the stars and taking pics from the red carpet throughout the night – so keep checking the gallery here for all the gorgeous fashion and star-filled moments she can get (which, considering this is Rosie we’re talking about, will probably include lots of fun celeb selfies).

Oh, that's just Joel Edgerton.

Oh, that's just Joel Edgerton kissing me. NO BIGGIE.

I MADE JACKI WEAVER LAUGH. But I honestly cannot remember what I said. I'm hoping it's because I said something witty and brilliant and not because I farted.

Duck face with a supermodel? Check. That's the gorgeous Jessica Gomes.

I had four glasses of wine to keep the nerves at bay.
