AFL Brownlow Medal: A Red-Carpet Fashion Frenzy!
The AFL Brownlow Medal night is not just about celebrating the league’s best players; it’s an extravagant showcase of fashion, elegance, and style, where the WAGS (Wives and Girlfriends) steal the spotlight! This year’s event was nothing short of spectacular, with the fashion stakes raised to dazzling new heights. Pastels emerged as the colour of choice, gracing the red carpet with soft, romantic hues that left us all breathless.
One of the standout trends this year was the enchanting corset-style bodice. This flattering silhouette was embraced by many, accentuating figures, and adding a touch of sophistication to the evening. The striking red gown worn by media darling Rebecca Maddern was a showstopper, capturing our attention.
Mardi Dangerfield, wife of superstar Patrick Dangerfield, was a vision of elegance reminiscent of Julia Roberts in “Pretty Woman.” Her stunning ensemble turned heads and brought a modern twist to a classic look, proving once again that fashion is all about making a statement.
Debuting at her first Brownlow, Paris Bishop stunned in an exquisite Alin Le’ Kal gown alongside her partner Sam Durham. Her choice landed her firmly on our best-dressed list, showcasing a perfect blend of youthful exuberance and timeless elegance.
Brodie Ryan, partner of Nathan Buckley, was nothing short of breathtaking in a pastel pink creation by Sean Rentero. The soft hue and delicate design made her a standout on the red carpet, while Bec Judd equally wowed in her majestic J’Aton Couture gown. Both ladies showcased how pastels can be both chic and striking—a theme that dominated the evening.
The newly engaged couple Annalise Dalins and Josh Daicos radiated romance as they made their appearance together, exuding a perfect blend of elegance and joy. Nick Daicos’ girlfriend, Arlette Jones, also made waves in a lovely pastel blue dress, completing the dreamy palette that defined this year’s event.
Overall, the 2023 AFL Brownlow Medal night was not just a celebration of football excellence but a thrilling fashion extravaganza. From soft pastels to bold reds and romantic silhouettes, the WAGS brought their A-game, leaving us excited for what’s to come in future seasons.
