The best and worst dressed at the 2025 Logie Awards: Australian stars arrive for TV's night of nights

Aussie stars have braved the soggySydney weather to make a sartorial splash on the red carpet ahead of the 65th TV Week Logie Awards – and boy was it worth it.

TV’s ‘night of nights’ lit up The Star in Pyrmont on Sunday afternoon, with a glittering guest list of household names strutting their stuff in lace, leather, and more sparkle than a disco ball.

And while some absolutely nailed it with slinky silhouettes, bold cuts, and jaw-dropping sequins, others… let’s just say their glam squads might be getting a stern debrief tomorrow morning.

BEST DRESSED

Plenty of guests had eyes on them for all the right reasons, be it in the form of a playful pop of colour, sexy and sultry design or classic look done just right.

A guest who was the epitome of the latter was Leila McKinnon. Was it a risk? Yes. Did it pay off? Absolutely.

The journalist’s slick, beautifully-tailored power suit delivered class and elegance, while the large bow injected a bit of fun without overwhelming her shape – not to mention those perfectly executed curtain bangs. 10/10.

Meanwhile, singer Kate Miller-Heidke wowed in a classic off-the-shoulder red gown, cute gold box clutch and a touch of lippy that was colour-matched impeccably. Wearing her hair down with a subtle curl was a great choice.

Angela Cox won us over with her stunning pink frock, too. The colour and cut was so striking on her we’ve chosen to overlook the slightly over-sized bodice… this time.

Dr Kate Adams couldn’t have picked a better blue for her gown, with the electric shade complementing her striking features to a T. While the very high split and nude heels may divide fashion commentators, the overall look ticks every box.

Jessica Redmayne also rocked the perfect shade, with her pale pink frock delivering Disney princess energy in the best way.

The actress may have struggled to manoeuvre her way along the carpet but it was worth it. She looked fantastic.

Home and Away icon Irene can do no wrong in our eyes, and neither can Lynne McGranger. The recently retired Gold Logie nominee was clearly manifesting a win in her spectacular golden frock and we love everything about it – even the blue hoops.

If she doesn’t nab the win, at least she can claim gold in the sartorial stakes. Bravo Lynne.

On that note, we simply have to shout out our golden girls Carrie Bickmore and Sonia Kruger.

Carrie was radiant in her one-shoulder design – the subtle shimmer highlighting her spectacular figure as she sashayed down the carpet.

Her hair was immaculate and while the heavy eye makeup was a bold move, it worked beautifully with her minimalist accessories and uber-natural look.

Sonia, another Gold Logie nominee in an apt shade, was breathtaking.

The TV icon’s gown hugged her in all the right places and the silver hardware was just enough to add a little edge, especially given her decision to go jewellery-free (other than a couple of statement rings). What a look.

WORST DRESSED

Red carpets are all about experimentation, risk-taking, and having a little fun – but the execution doesn’t always… align with the vision.

Although the stars certainly kept their looks far more demure this year, some of them went too far in the opposite direction with ill-fitting cuts and gowns that swamped their enviable frames.

This was the case for MasterChef alum Poh Ling Yeow, whose beautifully-fitted, bespoke Velani Couture gown was perfection on top and… less so from the hips down.

The billowing pickle-green skirt shortened her svelte figure and failed to complement her warm makeup and minimalist hairstyle.

Meanwhile The Bachelor’s Bella Veralis, who rarely steps a foot wrong with fashion, opted for a ruched gown in an on-trend pecan brown shade.

While the frock fit her beautifully, the cups on the bodice looked a little unfinished and the structured neckline was too much for her petite figure and slim shoulders.

ActressChloé Sarah Hayden made a statement in her vampy sequinned design – but the bat-like shoulders, OTT skirt and oddly-shaped neckline appeared poorly fitted and too informal for a black tie event.

Sophie Monk was almost there in her goddess-like Cappellazzo gown – but the look was let down with an unflattering, tight bodice that added unnecessary bulk to her waist and appeared deeply uncomfortable to pose in.

The gorgeous Juliet Love opted for a slinky velvet number that was let down by the sky-high split; it left her at serious risk of a wardrobe malfunction.

Speaking of unnecessary splits, Maria Angelico’s dress could have done without one too. The actress’ figure-hugging two-piece also washed her out a little and the skirt could have used a spritz of steam beforehand. We’ll blame the rain and humidity for that one.

However. There are splits… and then there’s Emily Weir’s gown.

The actress threw any and all caution to the wind with her dress, with the split not only flying past her thigh but continuing all the way up to her upper hip.

As expected she spent the majority of her time on the carpet attempting to cover up her modesty as her silky, ivory frock took off in the breeze. An example of a risk that didn’tpay off.

Actress Sophea Pennington’s plunging gown also left her at risk of a wardrobe malfunction, with the flimsy fabric a risky move in the weather conditions. The material choice also failed to show off her enviable curves. Extra points for the pocket though.

TV favourites Shelley Craft and Edwina Bartholomew also made questionable decisions with their outfits on Sunday afternoon.

Shelley went all out in a navy sequinned design. It was all gown and no Shelley. If the cape was removed it would have been a different story, but a more classic silhouette would have suited the beloved star more.

Edwina, on the other hand, rocked a pretty pale blue power suit and sequinned bra. The idea was fantastic but we would have liked to see something a little more formal and better-tailored for this occasion.

More to come…
