WAGs Shine on the Brownlow Red Carpet as Elle Ray Leads in Scarlet
Influencer Elle Ray stuns in a scarlet backless gown at Crown Melbourne's Brownlow red carpet as other WAGs flex fashion; predictions name Daicos among top contenders
The red carpet at Crown Melbourne's Palladium for the 2025 Brownlow Medal drew attention from attendees and social media alike, with influencer Elle Ray leading the charge in a scarlet, backless gown.
Other WAGs followed in bold styles: Lexi Mary, partner of Rory Lobb of the Bulldogs, wore an oil-slick metallic gown from Alin Le' Kal with an off-the-shoulder silhouette and an abstract bust, accented by diamond accessories. Footballer and television presenter Abbey Holmes opted for black, a gown that hugged her figure and featured a satin bow at the bust, complemented by a diamond choker and pointed black heels.
Libby Clifford chose cream tones for her Brownlow evening, an ethereal gown with layers of ruffles and a thigh-high split, paired with her partner Connor O'Sullivan in a tuxedo.
Meanwhile, predictor models have signaled another tight count, with Collingwood's Nick Daicos leading most simulations after a season defined by consistency. Geelong's Bailey Smith was expected to close the gap, while Gold Coast's Noah Anderson, Adelaide captain Jordan Dawson, and Fremantle's Caleb Serong were cited as strong challengers.
These forecasts come as the night of fashion and football intersect, with the red carpet serving as a centerpiece of the ceremony and the WAG presence drawing as much attention as the presenting and voting.
