REBECCA JUDD will pay tribute to late fashion designer Ruth Tarvydas — and that red dress — at the Perth Fashion Festival in September. But will she wear it ten years later?

Nine News - Tarvydas honoured

REBECCA Judd will pay tribute to late fashion designer Ruth Tarvydas — and that red dress — at the Perth Fashion Festival in September.

Judd said the revealing frock created by Tarvydas, which she wore to the 2004 Brownlow Medal, changed her life.

The Channel 9 presenter and wife of Carlton star Chris Judd will attend the festival to honour Tarvydas after her sudden death in May.

Festival director Mariella Harvey-Hanrahan confirmed the event would dedicate a show to Tarvydas’s 40-year career in fashion.

“We all miss Ruth terribly and it will be great to celebrate her vibrant life with an incredible show dedicated to her,’’ Judd said.

But it is doubtful mother-of-two Judd will resurrect THAT red dress on the night.

The racy Ruth number, that had the nation on red alert, was purchased at a gala benefit at Perth Fashion Week in 2012 for $4000.
