There’s no denying that warming sense of pride Aussie feel as we appreciate homegrown talent, and the ARIA Awards have it in bucketloads.
Indeed, Australian music’s ultimate celebration has rolled around once again as the 2019 ARIAs kick off in Sydney – and it all begins with the red carpet.
Of course the vocal talent of the annual award’s guests is undeniable, but it’s the jaw-dropping, ogle-worthy, straight-up-heavenly red carpet ensembles that really steal the show each year.
Now in its 33rd year, the ARIA Awards red carpet has once again brought us the goods – the celebs are literally glowing as their talents are celebrated at the glitzy event in the Emerald City.
Among the talented bunch of nominees this year is breakout star Tones and I, who is the brains (and voice) behind number one hit Dance Monkey.
Guy Sebastian is also a hot favourite to take home an award, and to boot, he’s also hosting the show. Talk about a takeover!
Jessica Mauboy and the Veronica sisters are also among the slew of stunning celebs gracing the red carpet.
So, without further ado, let’s get down to business and get our ogle on as we have a proper squiz at the very best dressed stars.
