Dally M Awards 2014: The best red carpet looks!

The fashion stakes were raised as Wags did their best to create red carpet fashion moments. Queen Wag Terry Biviano well and truly made an impact, walking the carpet for the last time (before her husband Anthony Minichiello’s retirement from the game) in a sexy Pallas Couture gown. But new mum Jodi Anasta was stunning in silver, after opting for a finely detailed J’Aton gown. “They are so good to me and it’s amazing that you get to collaborate with the designer,” Anasta said. NRL songstress and pin-up girl, Jessica Mauboy, never fails

to impress on the red carpet but she was a little casual among the sea of full-length dresses, wearing a dress by designer Steven Khalil. There were two overriding fashion themes on the night for the women on the red carpet: all-white or glistening silver and gold. But of course, some guests broke the rules and looked incredible in their own right.

As for the men, the majority scrubbed up well, sticking to the red carpet rules in black and white tuxedos and suits. Matty Johns said he was impressed by the sophisticated feel of last night’s event. “Traditionally the Dally M’s have been understated compared to the Brownlows, but now we are starting to get it right,” he said.Despite the buzz surrounding the Dallly M vote, football’s night of nights was also heavily focused on the fashion and once again, our players and their partners nailed it. Jessica Mauboy opted for a white, strapless Steven Khalil frock. “I’m such a big fan of this game, my heart has always been with it, so I will be roaming the room to say hi to as many players as I can,” she said ahead of the event. Jodi Anasta, former soap star and wife of former Wests Tigers player Braith Anasta, arrived wearing local designer J’Aton.The mum-of-one hit the red carpet with her footballer husband wearing the floor-length peral beaded gown with plunging neckline and thigh high split.

“It will be (Braith’s) last awards because of his retirement so it will be a big night for us,” the 29-year-old told Confidential ahead of the evening. South Sydney Rabbitohs player Sam Burgess arrived with new girlfriend Phoebe Hooke, who wore a full-length, white gown with one sleeve.Lara Pitt, who is currently six months pregnant, wore an elegant, black floor-length gown. The Fox Sports personality will be front and centre on the red carpet, conducting interviews with Matty Johns. THE Dally M Awards might be the NRL’s night of nights — but it’s also the ladies’ time to shine.

And according to the glam squad in Dally M Styling Suite it takes WAGs on average two hours to get ready.

Paige Duffy, who is Sydney Roosters star Jake Friend’s partner, was revelling in the pampering. “I’m excited to get all dressed up,” Duffy said. She said getting dolled up for the night with the help of stylists was a real treat. “It’s something different to the everyday life that I have,” she said with a laugh.
