Married At First Sight star Adrian Araouzou has been caught out making a very embarrassing fashion faux pas.

The controversial 2025 groom, 30, was hobnobbing with Australia’s haute couture elite on Monday at fashion icon Carla Zampatti’s Australian Fashion Week show at the MCA in Sydney. 

Arriving at the glittering event, Adrian was stopped on the red carpet by So Sydney.

‘Is this our very first fashion week ever,’ Adrian said.

‘I don’t know what to expect. I’ve never heard of it, to be honest. I’m not gonna lie.’

Pressed to clarify, Adrian was then asked if he was referring to Carla Zampatti or Australian Fashion Week in general.

‘Both,’ he replied matter-of-factly.

Despite Adrian’s ignorance of the milieu he found himself in, the reality star was confident of a ‘good night.’

‘I’m open to plans after, but I have none at the moment – I’m expecting a good night,’ he said.

‘Just meeting some people and have a look of [sic] what’s going on in fashion, I guess.’

Adrian was then asked about his ‘fit’ for the event and he admitted he threw his ensemble together at the last minute.

‘This is not my best fit,’ he admitted.

‘I got a ticket late last night at 10:30[pm], so I had to put something together.’ 

Adrian offered a cheeky comment about So Sydney’s inability to gain access to the event with: ‘I’ll buy you a ticket next time.’

However, one fan suggested that the reality star may have trouble securing a ticket to the 2026 event with a sarcastic, ‘next time,’ and a slew of laughing face emojis.

Adrian’s fashion flub comes after he signed with PR doyenne Roxy Jacenko’s agency Ministry Of Talent.

The groom, who has been a controversial figure during his time on the show, was announced as a new member of Roxy’s exclusive roster last week.

‘Thrilled to announce that @adrian.araouzou is now represented by The Ministry of Talent for social media collabs and appearances!’ a post on Instagram read.

‘Get in touch for opportunities’ it added, while sitting alongside a series of photos of the reality star.

Adrian joins the likes of tennis WAG Costeen Hatzi and fellow reality star Ash Pollard as a Ministry Of Talent member.

Adrian also recently denied claims he cheated on his TV bride Awhina Rutene while filming the Channel Nine dating show.

The 30-year-old told Daily Mail Australia on Wednesday, he didn’t have sex with another woman while on the show after Awhina accused him of leaving their apartment to spend time with another female.

Pressed to clarify, Adrian was then asked if he was referring to Carla Zampatti or Australian Fashion Week in general. ‘Both,’ he replied matter-of-factly

‘Absolutely not. As if I would need to go have sex with someone in that space of filming,’ he said.

‘I was out for a mates birthday and went past mine to grab a few things then went back to the apartment,’ Adrian explained.

He claimed Awhina had also been invited to join him but decided to spend time with fellow bride Beth Kelly instead.

It comes after Awhina made the bombshell claim about her relationship with her controversial TV husband Adrian on Abbie Chatfield’s It’s A Lot podcast.
