THE NRL’s night of nights, the Dally M Awards, has shaken and stirred The Star in Sydney.
It’s the one night of the year when the rugby league WAGs get to outsparkle and outdazzle their other halves and, as always, all eyes were on who wore what on that ruby rug.
The wives and girlfriends of our NRL stars were primping and preening all afternoon at The Darling Hotel to ensure they were red-carpet ready in time.

This year’s annual player awards night boasted a star-studded list of guests and presenters including Olympic and Commonwealth champion hurdler Sally Pearson and Aussie swimming champs Cate and Bronte Campbell.
Stay tuned for all of the glitz and glamour from the 2014 red carpet below.
Queen WAG and fashion favourite Terry Biviano was a showstopper. The 39-year-old shoe designer descended upon The Star with husband of two years Anthony Minichiello, captain of the Sydney Roosters who ended his record-breaking 302 game career at ANZ Stadium on Friday night.
Never one to shy away from making a bold fashion statement, Biviano stunned in a revealing, white Pallas Couture gown that featured plenty of cut-outs. “It is definitely easier to not have to dress the bump,” she told Confidential, referring to last year’s event where she was pregnant with her first child.
“This year my dress is a bit more full-on. It is really modern, sexy and sleek. We are pushing the boundaries. Actually I’m a little scared.”
Paying tribute to her husband’s 14 years as a professional NRL player, she said: “The star attraction this year is going to be my husband.
“It’s not only an opportunity to celebrate the great year he and his team have had but it’s also a time to celebrate his amazing career.
“It will be the last Dally M’s, but all good things must come to an end.”
Instead of a long flowing frock, Jessica Mauboy opted for a white, strapless Steven Khalil number.
“I’m such a big fan of this game, my heart has always been with it, so I will be roaming the room to say hi to as many players as I can,” the singer said ahead of the event.
Jodi Anasta, former Home and Away star and wife of former Wests Tigers player Braith Anasta, arrived wearing local designer J’Aton Couture.
The mum-of-one hit the red carpet with her footballer husband wearing the floor-length, pearl beaded gown with plunging neckline and thigh high split.
“It will be (Braith’s) last awards because of his retirement so it will be a big night for us,” the 29-year-old told Confidential ahead of the evening.
The glittery frock was a total winner, and quite unlike anything else that was donned this year.
Bachelor lovebirds Tim Robards and Anna Heinrich turned up. Heinrich was wearing a deep red, off-the-shoulder Jennifer Regan gown with matching red lippy and statement earrings.
South Sydney Rabbitohs player Sam Burgess arrived with new girlfriend Phoebe Hooke, who wore a white, one shoulder Alex Perry dress.
Lara Pitt, who is currently six months pregnant, wore an elegant, black floor-length Johanna Johnson gown which she teamed with a chunky statement necklace. The Fox Sports personality will be front and centre on the red carpet, conducting interviews with Matty Johns.
Grand final-bound halfback Trent Hodkinson arrived with his partner of five years, Chantelle Traficante.
“It’s nice for him to be recognised for the wonderful year he has had and everything he has gone through to get there so it’s a nice reward,” Traficante said of her fiance’s massive 2014 season.
South Sydney superstar Greg Inglis and his wife Sally were looking sharp, while Dally M Medal hot favourite Jonathan Thurston and his partner Samantha Lynch opted for matching black.
Retired league star and television personality Beau Ryan and his wife Kara looked glam as they posed for photos together.
