It’s that time of year again: the Australian music industry’s night of night, the 31st annual Australian Recording Industry Association Music Awards!
Held at The Star in Pyrmont, Sydney, this year’s ARIA Awards – like every year before it – serves as well-earned celebration of all that is great in local, Aussie music.
And while we’re counting down the hours/minutes/seconds until Hall of Fame inductee Daryl Braithwaite belts out Horses on the ARIAs’ stage, we can’t get enough of our favourite homegrown musos who have frocked up for the star-studded, pre-show red carpet.
From Jessica Mauboy, whose stylish ARIAs’ get-up made our jaws collectively drop in awe to the always-dazzling Sophie Monk, whose giving us major Bardot vibes in a fitted fuchsia coat dress, this year’s rockin’ red-carpet looks are all worthy of their very own triangular-pyramid accolade.
