A collection of the nation’s brightest dresses and eccentric fascinators flocked to Myer’s Fashion on the Field state final.
The event was held in the Myer Marquee at Sydney’s iconic Coogee Pavilion with entrants standing on white wooden tables so judges could witness the craftsmanship from all angles.
Australian actress Jodi Anasta (nee Gordon) and media personality Nikki Phillips hosted the event, wearing a classic white lace mini dress by Asilio and a pink thigh-high cut midi gown by Yeojin Bae respectively.
