NAIL’D IT OR FAIL’D IT: Punkee Rates Browlow Fashion & We Ain’t Holding Back
Tonight’s the big night where the footy stars strip off the short-shorts and frock up with their hottie partners – or anyone that will have ’em.
With this year’s ‘Charlie’ pretty much in the bag for Richmond’s Dustin Martin, the red carpet shenanigans are without a doubt the most unpredictable element of the night. Especially with Fev behind the Mic. Anything could happen.
This year’s Brownlow fashion was a bit all over the place. Without our go-to guru Rebecca Judd bringing the wow-factor, there were a few standouts, among a lot of black and sheer numbers.
As the outfits roll down the carpet, Punkee’s keeping a rolling tally of the memorable red carpet lewks judging who’s nailed and who’s failed it in our eyes. Judging you…
There will be updates to this list throughout the evening.
Here’s what we thought about the 2017 fashunnnn:
Rachael Finch
NAILED IT
Rachael came as the Good Fairy from Wizard of Oz and it’s werkin’ for her.
Kahlia Ashton
NAILED IT
Kahlia is looking beautiful in all green, serving Leprechaun Chic.
Kate Lawrence & Luke Parker
FAILED IT
So much pink. Eugh. Kate looks beaut but not a fan of this. While Luke is just wearing a suit. But +1 points for the polka dot addition.
Savahna Sanders & Jarryd Lyons
NAILED IT
Savahna stuns in all black sheer goth lewk. Jarryd is wearing a suit. Yep. That’s a suit.
Leiza Meredith
FAILED IT
This is so fucking boring. Leiza, you are better than this, you gorgeous woman.
Josh Kennedy & Ana Calle
NAILED IT
She may look like she belongs on the top of a roll of toilet paper but Ana is looking stunning. This was by far the most spectacular dress on the red carpet. Josh is wearing a suit.
Tom McDonald & Ruby Sweeney
FAILED IT
This is nice enough, but I’m not floored by this simple black dress. But Tom is pushing boundaries choosing a navy suit. Wow. It’s wild.
Jerri & Nathan Jones
NAIL IT
This red dress is phenomenal. Nathan is also wearing a navy suit and I’m digging the black suit rebellion we’re living in.
Bella Sofia Carlstrom & Moana Hope
NAILED IT
This dress on Bella is a dream, and Moana as arm-candy is perfection. That quiff is giving me life.
Melinda Sarris
FAILED IT
No. No. No. The mesh neck feature. The tacky print. It’s not Melinda’s best lewk.
Belinda Sloane
NAILED IT
I’m not usually a fan of such a theatric sleeve, but since the rest of the dress is fitted, I’m actually loving this. Gorg!
Jane Bunn
FAILED IT
This is how I imagine Barney the Dinosaur would do formal wear.
Jessie & Marc Murphy
NAILED IT
In my biased eyes, Jessie can do no wrong. But this year, she especially looks stunning rocking a very en vogue baby bump. Marc wears a suit. A black suit.
Jason Johannissan & Logan Shine
NAILED IT
Jason is carrying the team, with an all-black suit lewk. Loving it sick. Logan in a sheer gold number is hardly pushing any boundaries, but it’s nice enough.
Linda Weatherlake
NAILED IT
It’s nice to see some colour on the red carpet, and this cut-out number is F.I.E.R.C.E.
Alex Pendlebury
FAILED IT
Sure, this is okay but haven’t we seen this lewk 500 times before. Hair and makeup is on point though.
