Melbourne Cup 2023: Where is ‘Fairy Floss Girl’ now?

Images of the young racegoer back in 2016 sent the internet into a spin, quickly earning her the nickname “fairy floss girl”.

She captured the country’s attention when a photo of her enjoying fairy floss at the Melbourne Cup Carnival went viral. Now, we take a glimpse into the young woman’s life seven years later.

Karly Tsivoglou, who was just 18 years old back in 2016, sent the internet into a spin after images of her memorable Cup antics were published by Daily Mail Australia.

She had been enjoying Oaks Day, also known as Ladies Day, with pal Alice Woodfall at Flemington Racecourse when she was snapped diving into a packet of pink fairy floss.

The Melbourne racegoer, wearing a blue bodycon dress with underwire detailing around the bust, was quickly dubbed “fairy floss girl”.

Her dark brown locks were worn in loose waves that cascaded down her shoulders.

KIIS FM host Kyle Sandilands has regularly raved about Karly over the years, describing her as “gorgeous” in a segment that aired in 2020.

“Oh, I remember her,” Jackie ‘O’ Henderson said at the time.

“Every guy fell in love with that girl at the time, didn’t they?”

At the time the images went viral, the shock jock even declared that Ms Tsivoglou was “hotter” than singer Selena Gomez.

Her social media accounts – which have since been deleted – went off with adoring messages and some even claiming they were in love with the then-teenager.

Since becoming an Aussie household name, Karly has gone on to become a makeup artist before welcoming a son into the world in 2019.

She often boasts about her little boy on social media, posting photos of him growing up with the pair sharing art time, walks and cooking together.

The 25-year-old has also posted holiday shots from Greece and her elaborate cooking adventures to her lesser known social media pages.

Karly has previously told Daily Mail Australiathat she doesn’t mind her photos going viral ahead of Melbourne Cup every year.
