It should have been no surprise that this WAG would be the centre of attention at NRL’s night of nights.
Kaylah Collins, who married Sydney Roosters player Lindsay Collins, dazzled in a white and sparkled see-through dress at the 2024 Dally M Awards at Sydney’s Randwick Racecourse on Wednesday.
The dress — which is from Velani — featured a triangle-style bust that then knotted at her torso and fell into a skirt.
The skirt of the dress featured a daring split down the middle, allowing for glimpses of her shoes.
Her jewellery — from Nader — featured two tennis-style bracelets and earrings, which were seen thanks to her elegant updo.
People were quick to praise the look, with one saying: “Holy smokes.”
Another said: “Killed it like always.”
Others said Kaylah had “outdone” herself and said they were “obsessed with her”.
Collins stole the show on the 2023 Dally M Awards carpet at the Royal Randwick Racecourse last year.
The renowned publicist flashed the flesh in a sheer strapless black corset with a black skirt that featured a daring thigh-high split that left a train behind her.
She finished the look with a statement diamond necklace, telling news.com.au at the time that the jewellery was from House of K’dor and featured 10 carats of diamonds worth over $100,000.
The only other piece of jewellery the new mum – who welcomed the couple’s first child in June – wore on the night was her wedding band.
Kaylah wore her brunette locks in a tight bun at the top of her head, leaving only a few strands loose to frame her face.
Jaime Chapman, who plays centre for the Gold Coast Titans, wore an equally racy dress for the event.
Chapman wore a strapless black dress with a low neckline that showed off her bikini tan lines.
The outfit was also sheer around the arms and torso before finishing with a dramatic thigh-high split.
She had her blonde hair styled in loose waves around her face and carried a small black clutch.
Meanwhile, Brian To’o from the Panthers was ever the gentleman, fanning out Moesha To’o’s pink train behind her to make sure to get the best shot.
Moesha wore a bright pink dress that was covered in sparkle detailing, bringing a pop of colour to the evening.
Penrith player Isaah Yeo and his wife Ashleigh looked every part the bride and groom during their walk down the carpet.
Ashleigh wore a strapless corset white gown with an A-line skirt that trailed behind her, while Yeo opted for a traditional tuxedo with bow tie combination.
Newcastle Knights player Kalyn Ponga attended the awards night with Gabrielle Peak, who wore a backless dress for the evening.
The sequin black dress featured a daring cut out that fishtailed out behind her. She completed the look with styling her blonde hair in a glamorous up do.
Meanwhile Ponga, like most men on the evening, went for a traditional suit with a bowtie combination.
Zali Fay, who plays for the Parramatta Eels, wore a see through silver halter neck dress that flashed her flesh. She paired the standout dress with a fluffy white clutch.
Meanwhile Lily Pickles, who attended with Dolphins player Herbie Farnworth, wore a figure hugging black dress that featured a satin skirt.
The corset-style bodice was sheer barring some creative fabric placement.
Jahrome Hughes, who plays for the Storm, attended the event with his wife Molly.
Molly wore a dress that had a shiny, nude torso that was incredibly structured. However, she softened the look with a sheer white underskirt with lace flower detailing.
She styled her dark locks in an up do, which seemed to be a trend of the evening, and silver earrings.
It seemed like she wasn’t the only one with that idea, with Miranda Cross — the partner of Rabbitohs’ player Cameron Murray — going for a very similar look.
Apisai Koroisau and his wife Amy walked the carpet together. Amy, who is pregnant with the couple’s third child, wore a leopard print dress for the event.
Meanwhile, her husband opted for an all-black look.
Isabelle Kelly, who plays for the Sydney Roosters, and Jake Callister turned heads as they stepped onto the green carpet at the Dally M Awards.
Kelly wore a halter neck dress that crossed over her bust and exposed her torso. The olive green dress had a tie on the waistband that gave it a Grecian look.
It also featured a daring split in the middle, allowing a flash of her sandal style heels.
Former player Ruan Sims opted for a similar vibe to Kelly, with her dress having an over the shoulder component to it.
The sparkling silver dress featured a slit in the side of the skirt.
Olympian Emma Tonegato wore a lime green dress for the even, that had a mesh covering over her abdomen.
Her blonde hair was styled in loose curls.
Cronulla Sharks player Tiana Penitani opted for a pop of colour in her Dally M look, wearing a figure hugging pink vinyl dress.
The strapless dress had a daring cut out between and below the bust. Penitani wore her long brunette hair slicked back for the event.
Addin Fonua-Blake, who plays for the Warriors, and Ana Fonua-Blake stunned on the green carpet, with Ana wearing a strapless dress that flowed out into a flattering skirt with the same tapa design on it.
Meanwhile, Fonua-Blake opted for a printed button up shirt from Versace and a traditional tupenu.
The footballer told The Daily Telegraph’s TikTok that the couple wanted to show off some of their culture for the event.
Taylor Haynes, who works on the Today show, wore a white high cut dress with only one sleeve for the occasion.
The dress featured a cut out on the rib cage and a daring thigh high split. She finished the look with strappy white sandal heels, with her brown locks crimped and falling around her face.
Fellow presenter Hannah Hollis went for a sleek black dress with a dramatic geometric neckline and simple silver jewellery for the event.
Meanwhile, Lara Pitt stood out from the crowd in a low cut red dress with a dramatic thigh high split.
Pitt wasn’t the only one who opted for a bold look, with Rooster player Mitch Aubusson’s wife Laura wearing a red halter neck dress.
The dress, which stood out beside her husband’s crisp black suit, featured a train that fell behind her, rounding out the classy look.
Kezie Apps, who plays for the West Tigers, also opted for red in a strapless number.
The asymmetric red and black dress featured some sheer detailing under the bust, with Apps rounding out the look with a black handbag.
Cooper Johns, who is a former NRL player and now works as a producer on the Kyle and Jackie O radio show, didn’t disappoint with his look.
While many men opt for more muted outfits for the Dally M Awards, Johns — who played for Melbourne Storm — wore a black and white striped jacket.
He paired the look with a black button-up shirt and bow tie with form-fitting black trousers.
