Rebecca Judd was overcome with emotion as she reunited with the iconic red dress she wore to the 2004 Brownlow Medal.
The AFL WAG, 41, was reminiscing on her favourite moments at the Crown Casino in Melbourne, when she recalled how people reacted to the revealing frock she wore as she arrived to the prestigious event on the arm of her now husband, Chris Judd.
The revealing dress, designed by Australian fashion designer Ruth Tarvydas, featured a plunging neckline that went down to Bec’s navel, as well as a split at the centre of the thighs.
The custom-made gown was valued at $2000 at the time, and Bec turned heads and made headlines when she arrived at the ceremony.
‘I had this red dress on, walked onto the red carpet, everyone had this reaction like “wow!”‘ she recalled.
‘And I thought “okay, this dress is quite something,”‘ she added.
The clip then showed Bec’s reaction as the iconic dress was brought out to her.
Covering her mouth, the AFL WAG became visibly choked up as she caressed her old dress.

‘No one knew me before that night, and the next day half the country knew who I was,’ Bec said.
The Jaggad activewear founder’s celebrity friends took to the comments to share their joy at the memory.

Chris previously told The Herald Sun the 2004 Brownlow was the night Bec became ‘public property’ and their lives changed forever.
‘It did feel like a before and after event. Some wonderful opportunities opened up from it. Life was just very different,’ said Chris, who was just 21 when he won the prestigious Brownlow Medal.
The Judds tied the knot in 2010, and Chris retired from football five years later.
The couple, who live in a $7.3million mansion in Melbourne’s upmarket Brighton, share four children – daughter Billie, nine, son Oscar, 12, and twins Darcy and Tom.
