Brownlow Medal 2024: Abbey Holmes stuns in a glistening silver gown as she and Dale Thomas lead arrivals at star-studded event at Crown Melbourne
As I gaze upon these images of Bec Judd’s luxurious Tower Suite and her Brownlow prep routine, I can’t help but feel a twinge of envy mixed with a dash of nostalgia. You see, I too have been to the Brownlow Medal count, albeit in a very different capacity. Back in my day, we didn’t have Instagram stories or $235 skincare products, but we did have floppy hats and sunburn from hours spent on the hill at Victoria Park.
2024’s Brownlow Medal season has kicked off, graced by the AFL’s top athletes and their elegant partners, adding a touch of glamour to the red carpet. (I, as a dedicated follower, am excitedly watching the event unfold.)
Initially present was footballer Abbey Holmes, accompanied by Dale Thomas, a player for both Collingwood and Carlton.
Abbey was dazzling in a long, shimmering silver dress adorned with delicate beadwork.
Meanwhile, the glitterati of sports were getting ready ahead of the big event.
2024’s Brownlow Medal preparations are being spearheaded by Australian Football League (AFL) star Josh Daicos and his fiancée Annalise Dalin, who are busy making arrangements in Melbourne on Monday evening.
Approximately a week past, the joyful pair became engaged during their vacation in Santorini, Greece, as the football player, aged 25, popped the question to the model, who is 23 years old.
The second-place finisher in the Miss Universe Australia pageant, looking every bit the radiant bride-to-be, promptly delved into red carpet preparations at the Crown Melbourne.
The blonde beauty met up with her stylist Paul Versace, dress designer Sam Oglialoro, hairdresser Joey Scandizzo and makeup artist Chantelle Baker.
PR maven Roxy Jacenko shared a video of Annalise getting her makeup done to Instagram as she spruiked one of her latest phone accessories.
Annalise slipped into a dazzling green dress with an asymmetrical design, fitting her beautifully and slipping off one shoulder.
Opting for a very natural makeup look, the model tamed her platinum locks into a sleek wavy bob.
Annalise informed the media outlet that Josh’s football team was excited to join in the festivities, having heard about their joyful engagement news.
She expressed optimism, saying, “I believe there will be much reason to rejoice; we’ll raise our voices in applause for him, and it’s delightful that we can all attend together. This is particularly meaningful given the challenges we’ve faced as a group in Europe.
‘I do feel so refreshed and ready to get back into it and what a week to kick it all off.’
At the same time, Josh, being Annalise’s partner, seemed more focused on showing off their lavish hotel room, the Tower Suite, which could cost as much as $1,870 a night.
The room boasted a spacious living area and formal dining space, overlooking the metropolis spread out beneath it.
With the higher priced package, you’ll gain entry to our luxurious Crystal Club lounge, along with a sumptuous breakfast, an afternoon tea service, and appetizers and cocktails before dinner. Enjoy these perks included in your premium stay!
Under the hashtag ‘#gifted’, Josh shared some pictures of the luxurious Le Martini bar inside Crown Melbourne, where he grabbed drinks for himself and his partner.
Apart from Josh and Annalise, there are other newly-engaged couples who will also be radiating the warmth of youthful affection during the Brownlow Medal.
Social media sensation, Paris Lawrence, is now proudly showing off a large diamond engagement ring following Richmond player Daniel Rioli’s proposal to her during the month of June.
The lovebirds took a stroll through Melbourne earlier in the day before later checking in at the Crown Melbourne.
In Paris, aged 26, posted an affectionate photo of them within their luxurious bathroom suite, complete with a heart emoji in scarlet hue as the caption.
The attractive woman with dark hair wore a cheerful expression while putting on a simple, white-corsetted top and leopard-spotted trousers, then started planning for the Brownlow event.
As Daniel, age 27, persisted with his monochromatic look in all black, a style he had already been seen in earlier that day.
As a lifestyle connoisseur, I delighted my 37.1K followers with a tantalizing preview of the elegant ensemble I’ll be wearing tonight. I took the opportunity to acknowledge the brilliant designers behind this stunning piece, Ingrid Olić and Twelve South, as well as the incredibly creative Grace Presow.
Charlie Curnow, a player for the football team Carlton, and his partner Tiana Simic will make their first public appearance together at a red-carpet event.
Instead of waiting, the duo decided to post pictures on Instagram showing their preparations for the major event, mere hours prior.
As a devoted follower of style, I smartened up in an elegant white button-down shirt, paired it with a sleek black waistcoat, and completed the ensemble with a coordinating suit jacket and trousers – all in black.
Meanwhile, Tiana looked stunning a low-cut black Dior dress.
On Sunday evening, Rebecca Judd divulged her approach for the Brownlow, as she arrived at the same hotel as other football celebrities and their partners.
41-year-old Australian woman showcased her opulent family vacation in the Tower Suite on Instagram.
Chris Judd’s ex-wife revealed a glimpse of her skincare regimen prior to the Brownlow, as she prepared for Australian Football League’s gala event.
In her debut on Stories, Bec shared a video showcasing her opulent Tower Suite, seemingly provided as a complimentary accommodation for her and her family.
Just like Josh and Annalise, Bec’s video clip displayed a vast living room with breathtaking city views beneath it. Accompanying this was the caption: ‘Impressive.’
As an ardent admirer, I found myself captivated by the scene in the video where their eldest offspring, the remarkable 13-year-old Oscar, was casually propped against a colossal, floor-to-ceiling window, gazing down upon the bustling city below.
In the video, Chris, aged 41, can also be noticed as he settled down on the spacious couch and switched on his television.
Their daughter Billie, 10, and twin sons Darcy and Tom, eight, could not be seen in the video.
Additionally, Bec posted a photo showcasing the skincare items she was about to apply on her skin – a Peptide Serum and Body Lustre from The Skincare Company valued at $235.
Brownlow is getting ready using skincare products from The Skincare Company, as evidenced by this close-up photo that Bec shared from Crown Melbourne.
Later, she added a picture where she appeared radiant with a towel turbaned on her head and a white robe draped over her figure.
‘@crownmelbourne No better place to stay,’ she captioned the mirror selfie.
This year’s Brownlow Medal count is shaping up to be one of the most exciting in history, featuring numerous prominent figures vying for victory. However, the AFL will be eagerly hoping that a particular standout player doesn’t collect the highest number of votes.
At the midpoint of the AFL season, Sydney Swans’ standout player, Isaac Heeney, held the top position across all players, and he maintained this impressive performance right up until the championship game.
On Saturday, he’ll play a crucial role in our premiership final match-up against Brisbane. However, due to receiving a one-week ban for a striking offense during round 17, he won’t be eligible for the Brownlow Medal this year.
With Carlton’s standout player Patrick Cripps emerging as the front-runner, he encounters stiff competition from Nick Daicos of Collingwood and Lachie Neale, last season’s winner from the Brisbane Lions, in the race for top honors.
In this election, it might be extremely close, potentially resulting in a shared victory – a situation unseen since 2003 when Mark Ricciuto (Adelaide), Nathan Buckley (Collingwood) and Adam Goodes (Sydney) all ended up with the same number of votes.
