Brooklyn Edwards hosted the social event at the Beverly Rooftop in South Yarra.

Love Island’s Taylor Reid and Xanthe Wessen showed their friendship is still thriving with Collingwood star Beau McCreery and model Frankie Evans still going strong as a couple.

Footy legend Nathan Buckley and his partner Brodie Ryan returned from a few weeks away in a campervan to add some glamour, while Supercar driver Nick Percat and his model partner Baylee Mullen mingled with the likes of former MKR star Zana Pali, DJ Andy Murphy, actor Chloe Hurst and beauty queen Amy Lee.

Edwards said: “It was truly a magical night. Couldn’t have asked for anything better. It was so special having our models in one room together celebrating a hugely successful year.”
