The 2025 AACTA Awards brought together the biggest names in Australian film and television for a night of celebration, but before the trophies were handed out, all eyes were on the red carpet.
With this year’s ceremony held on the Gold Coast, the relaxed setting gave celebrities the freedom to experiment with bold, playful, and effortlessly chic looks.
From dazzling sequins to classic tailoring, here’s who turned heads on the night.
SOPHIE MONK – Leah Da Gloria
Never one to shy away from making a statement, Sophie Monk wowed in a fiery red strapless gown by Leah Da Gloria.
The dress featured a dramatic cutout across the midsection, perfectly accentuating her toned physique, while ruffled frills cascaded around the décolletage, adding a touch of old-school glamour.
SHARON JOHAL – Carolina Herrera
Sharon Johal brought a dreamy, romantic aesthetic to the red carpet in a soft pink floral gown by Carolina Herrera.
Johal completed the look with gold chunky earrings and a pink-and-purple smoky eye — an impressive feat considering she applied her own makeup on the plane after her makeup artist cancelled last minute.
EMMA LUNG – Clea
Emma Lung opted for effortless sophistication in a minimalist ‘60s-inspired dress by Clea. Designed with a subtle A-line cut and breathable fabric, the dress was a smart choice for the humid Gold Coast weather.
Lung paired the ensemble with sleek, straight hair and delicate jewelry, allowing the retro silhouette to shine.
POH LING YEOW – Meraki
Poh Ling Yeow dubbed herself a “disco ball” as she hit the red carpet in a striking floor-length sequined gown by Meraki. The silver ensemble featured strong shoulder pads and long sleeves, making it a standout against the more traditional gowns of the night.
Yeow kept her accessories sleek and simple, opting for a black clutch and matching silver earrings.
PHOEBE TONKIN – Chanel
Phoebe Tonkin was the epitome of modern chic in a sheer Chanel gown.
The delicate fabric offered glimpses of white lingerie underneath, creating a striking contrast between boldness and sophistication.
Her look was completed with soft waves, barely-there makeup, and dainty accessories, proving that sometimes less really is more.
TRENT DALTON – Tarocash
The Boy Swallows Universe author stayed true to his Brisbane roots, revealing he bought his green suit at a “two-for-one” Tarocash deal at Westfield Chermside. “I wanted to come with some colour,” he said, pairing the suit with a matching green bow tie.
SOPHIE WILDE – Vintage Loewe
As a brand ambassador for Loewe, it was no surprise that Sophie Wilde turned to the luxury fashion house for her red carpet moment. However, rather than opting for a modern piece, she chose a stunning archival lace Loewe gown, with structured hip paniers.
Wilde kept her styling simple with a sleek updo and minimal accessories, allowing the craftsmanship of the dress to shine.
MIRANDA OTTO – Daniel Moore Couture
Miranda Otto embraced the red carpet — quite literally — in a striking Daniel Moore Couture gown.
The bold red dress featured long sleeves and cinching at the waist.
With her auburn locks styled in soft waves, Otto embodied classic Hollywood glamour while maintaining a distinctly modern edge.
ROBBIE WILLIAMS – Dolce & Gabbana
British rocker Robbie Williams brought his signature cool factor to the carpet in a Dolce & Gabbana ensemble.
Opting for a mix of classic and contemporary, he paired a structured suit jacket with a black T-shirt underneath, accessorized with a bold statement brooch.
DAVID WENHAM – Mitchell Ogilvie
David Wenham looked every bit the classic gentleman in a white tuxedo jacket and black bow tie from Brisbane-based menswear label Mitchell Ogilvie. The Spit star’s clean, sophisticated ensemble was a refreshing nod to old-school glamour.
GUY PEARCE – Blue Suit Perfection
Guy Pearce’s choice of a sleek blue suit with a Brunello Cuccinelli shirt was an instant hit.
The fitted silhouette and deep navy hue, and paisley aubergine tie, perfectly complemented his signature polished-yet-relaxed style.
DAMI IM – Joteo
A glowing, expectant Dami Im was radiant in a strapless floor-length black gown by Brisbane-based designer Joteo. The design was elegant yet comfortable, allowing the singer to embrace her pregnancy glow while still making a fashion statement.
AISHA DEE – Gold velvet
Though details on the designer were scarce, Apple Cider Vinegar star Aisha Dee turned heads in a stunning gold velvet gown. Letting the bold hue speak for itself, she kept accessories minimal and wore her hair long and effortlessly sleek.
TERESA PALMER – Prada
Teresa Palmer stunned in a black bejeweled mini dress by Prada, proving that shorter hemlines can still make a big impact on the red carpet.
