Richard Wilkins and his girlfriend Mia Hawkswell put on a loved-up display as they lead arrivals at the 2025 AACTA Awards on Friday.

The Today show entertainment reporter looked dapper in a black tuxedo as he arrived to the star-studded event held at Home of the Arts (HOTA) on the Gold Coast.

He completed his look with a white buttoned shirt, bow tie and shiny dress shoes.

His makeup artist partner Mia looked glamorous in a long, black netted gown that was cinched in at the waist and had a flowing skirt.

The pair looked thrilled as they embraced each other on the red carpet.

They were joined by Aussie actor Lincoln Lewis, who looked very smart in a black double-breasted suit.

The former Home and Away star paired his look with a white collared shirt that was loosely unbuttoned.

He flashed a huge smile as he arrived alongside his fellow Australian stars for the esteemed night.

The reality star, who was runner-up on Locky’s Gilbert’s season of The Bachelor, tied her long brunette locks into a high bun for the event.

She completed her look with a pair of black stilettos and let her natural beauty shine with a natural makeup palette.
