It was rubgy league's night of nights last night as the best players in the country hit Sydney's Town Hall for the 2012 Dally M Awards. Hitting the red carpet were NRL stars Todd Carney (with new girlfriend Lauryn Eagle), Benji Marshall with TV presenter-fiancée Zoe Balbi, and Ben Barba, who went on to take the night's most coveted prize: the 2012 Dally M Awards Player of the Year. Missing from the red carpet were Dally M stalwarts, Braith Anasta and his fiancée Jodi Gordon. Anasta was sick, and Gordon expressed her disappointment (via her Instagram account) at missing out on wearing her "beautiful" J'Aton gown. Guy Sebastian performed, and the wives and girlfriends of the NRL players shone on the red carpet while their proud partners looked on — it's all in the gallery, so click through and have a peek!
Is it wrong if we admit to loving a WAG-fest? The ladies of the NRL frocked up for last night's Dally M Awards, adding some serious shine to Sydney's Town Hall red carpet call. There were thigh high splits, feathered skirts and sequins galore, with the Wives and Girlfriends club going for all-out glamour for Rugby League's night of nights. Forget winner Ben Barba for a second, because we're handing out our own Dally M medals; for best dressed! Gold goes to Zoe Balbi who shone in a sequinned Steven Khalil gown, Alyce Taylor deserved silver in her understated scarlet Rachel Gilbert number and we're awarding dual bronzes to Ainslie Curry for her peplummed sheath and Home and Away's Tessa James who looked chic in a sculpted LBD. Forget the boys for a second! This morning we're all about the girls and the glamour of the Dally Ms. Zoom in on our red carpet round-up.
