Jackie “O” Henderson celebrated her 49th birthday in style on the weekend, treating a boatload of friends to a party on Sydney Harbour.
The glamorous radio host’s stunning transformation was on full display as she partied with celebrity friends including KIIS FM co-host Kyle Sandilands, designer Pip Edwards and model Cheyenne Tozzi.

Looking considerably younger than 49, Henderson frolicked with friends on a sunny Sydney day wearing two different outfits.
One was a short white shift dress showing off her tanned legs.
Another was a stunning multicoloured one-shoulder dress with a zigzag pattern and high-side split, showing off her recent weight loss.
“Boat party ready!! 💛,” Henderson captioned one picture as she got ready to celebrate her big day.
A second post, captioned “I love my friends 😌 best b’day 💛💛,” shared a carousel of images from the boat party.
Followers loved the posts, commenting on everything from the fabulous fashion on display to the water slides and inflatable duck party.
“Hahaha what a rocking birthday crew!!! 😍 Happiest of birthdays and best years ahead, beautiful girl! 🤗,” wrote actor Hugh Sheridan.
“Love an outfit change! Ooofffttt! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥 so much fun 😍,” added celebrity trainer Michelle Bridges.
“You are literally the f****** best !!!!!! I love love love you. BEST BIRTHDAY EVER ❤❤❤❤❤,” wrote attendee Pip Edwards.
One follower said Henderson looked like she was truly “living it up,” calling her “fabulous”.
On Monday’s Kyle & Jackie O Show, Henderson gave some details on what went down.
After the boat party — where a tarot reader was in residence — the group went bar-hopping before finishing up at a friend’s house for an after-party.
“I had fun,” she said.
“We went to Opera Bar and then Shellhouse … and then a private residence.”
“We survived (the) boat party!” added Sandilands, who was pictured hanging out with John Ibrahim on the boat.
“Your friends are surprisingly good people.”
Pip Edwards shared her own tribute to Henderson on her own Instagram page on Sunday.
“Happiest of birthdays to my dream girl and dream friend,” she wrote.
“You are soooooo loved.
“Most perfect day with exceptional friends for the most perfect woman I know. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
“What a birthday celebration 🎉 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Thank you for the best day!!!!”
Henderson returned the love in the comments section.
“Where have you been all my life?” she wrote.
“Love you, beautiful girl ❤.”
The celebrations were a major contrast from previous birthdays for the radio star.
Henderson recently revealed that she hadn’t enjoyed marking past birthdays, mainly because she didn’t like organising parties.
But she decided that needed to change for her birthday this year.
“I just feel like every single year of my life, not even just the last few years, I’ve ignored birthdays and never wanted to do a party,” she said.
“I just don’t like doing it.
“And I thought, ‘You know what? Why not! Like, who cares how old you are or whether it’s a milestone or not, I’m going to throw a big party on a boat’.”
Henderson says it will be the first time she has thrown a party for herself.
“I feel like this year, I just want to live life, you know?” she said.
“I feel like last year I did a lot of learning about myself and that sounds so cliche … but I actually have, and now this is the year to reap the rewards.
“It’ll be a fun year. I want to make it as fun as possible!”
