The sighting comes after Rachael paid tribute to her departing Myer colleague on Instagram.
Rachael shared a throwback photo of Jennifer from one of the department store’s fashion shows, before praising her friend’s incredible work ethic.
‘Getting to work alongside this angel Jen Hawkins has been pretty surreal,’ Rachael began her post.
‘In the 10-ish years I’ve known Jen, I’ve been blown away at her work ethic, professionalism, kindness and loyal attitude to those close to her.’
The mother-of-two added that Jennifer’s departure ‘marks the end of an incredible era’ for Myer.

Earlier this month, it was reported that The Block winner Elyse Knowles had signed a $300,000 deal to ‘replace’ Jennifer, who is thought to have commanded $1million for the same role.
The Daily Telegraph quoted a source as saying: ‘Myer just doesn’t have the money any more, which suited Jen because she is going down the lifestyle path and steering away from fashion.’
Last week, Jennifer confirmed she would be ‘retiring’ from Myer in November, saying: ‘I’ve always been very proud and extremely grateful to work with such a beautiful and iconic company’.
