2024 Brownlow Medal Red Carpet Criticized for Fashion Failures and Disappointing Outfits
The 2024 Brownlow Medal in Melbourne showcased the wives and girlfriends of AFL stars on the red carpet, but many outfits failed to impress. Style icon Bec Judd, along with Brodie Ryan and Charlotte Viney, found themselves on the worst dressed list, with critics dubbing it the worst red carpet event in history due to numerous fashion missteps and inappropriate dress choices.
The 2024 Brownlow Medal event held in Melbourne showcased a mix of bold and controversial fashion choices among the partners of the AFL's top stars. Despite the anticipated glamour, many attendees found themselves on the receiving end of criticism for their outfits, leading to a discussion about fashion hits and misses of the night.
Rebecca Judd's Surprising Choice Draws Attention
Rebecca Judd, often regarded as a style icon, made a notable return to the Brownlow Medal after a six-year break. However, her choice of a blush pink J'Aton Couture corset gown did not resonate well with many onlookers. The sleeveless design accentuated her figure, flowing into a satin fishtail, yet critics were left disappointed. Judd paired the gown with glamorous makeup, featuring dark pink lipstick and a rosy blush.
Charlotte Viney Stands Out in Daring Black Dress
Charlotte Viney, wife of AFL player Jack Viney, opted for a striking black dress by Antoinette Fusillo that showcased her figure. Despite its daring one-shoulder design and semi-sheer fabric, the outfit reportedly did not adhere to the event's formal dress code, stirring mixed reactions among fashion critics.
Brodie Ryan's Bold Appearance Raises Eyebrows
Brodie Ryan, partner of AFL legend Nathan Buckley, chose a baby pink corset dress adorned with pearls and a statement bird bag for the soirée. Featuring a dramatic sweetheart neckline and a voluminous skirt, her outfit was bold yet failed to impress many attendees, marking her as another figure in the night's fashion critique.
Corset Fashion Dominates the Night
The event featured an array of corset dresses, each vying for attention. Alex Pendlebury's nude corset dress, known for its bone detailing and thigh-high split, posed a risk of a wardrobe malfunction. Emily Halverson's black and white look came under fire for not flattering her figure, while Talia Zorko’s quirky corset design with a silver drop waistline also missed the mark among critics.
Midriff and V-Neck Styles Make a Splash
Elise Gosdschan showcased her abs in a two-piece outfit, receiving mixed reviews. Additionally, Georgia Greene's black dress, with a thigh-high split and an extreme V-neck, along with Isabella Cavallaro’s low-cut silver dress, sparked discussions about the night’s plunging necklines and fashion risks.
Attendees Bring Varied Styles to the Red Carpet
Tiffany Browne turned heads with her black and silver frock, though it ultimately blended with the crowd. Hayley, wife of Richmond Tigers' Toby Nankervis, wore red but faced scrutiny for her choice of fabric. Dee Salmin wore a revealing outfit criticized for its fitlessness, whereas Georgia Kelly’s black and white dress earned mixed reviews for its pink puffy sleeves. Jane Bunn, an Australian meteorologist, made an early appearance in a navy ruffle dress from Forever New, adding a touch of elegance to the evening.
