    Zoë Foster Blake was caught out hugging a girlfriend during a walk in Sydney on Wednesday amid the city’s ongoing COVID lockdown.

    Ironically, the 41-year-old beauty entrepreneur had just passed a temporary road sign reading: ‘Maintain social distancing 1.5m’.

    Appearing oblivious to the message, Zoë embraced her friend in a tight hug, affectionately wrapping her arms around her shoulders.

    After their walk, Zoë returned to her car, which was parked out on the street, and drove away.

    She stepped out in a pair of blue terry toweling shorts, which she paired with a matching T-shirt.

    The accomplished author also wore a blue baseball cap with ‘Doing Things’ written across the front in white font.

    Despite the new deal, BWX said Go-To ‘will remain an independently operated, stand-alone, founder-led brand’. 

    Zoë will also continue to act as the company’s strategic investor, chief creative officer and board director. 

    ‘The partnership represents a strategically and financially compelling opportunity for BWX to collaborate with one of Australia’s leading skincare entrepreneurs and support Go-To’s ongoing growth,’ BWX said in a statement.
