Sports stars hit the red carpet at Dally M Awards at Royal Randwick Racecourse

The Dally M awards are underway in Sydney’s Royal Randwick Racecourse as the NRL and NRLW stars come together to celebrate the season ahead of this weekend’s grand final. 

While the male players typically lead the fashion world in terms of most outlandish haircuts, tonight they’ll dusting off the tuxes and loafers.

Though, let’s be honest — we’re all here for the frocks more than anything. 

Take a look at last year’s best and brightest get-ups here.

Or scroll on down to check out this year’s hottest styles. 

Pretty in pink: Tiana Penitani

Brian To’o gives a lesson in chivalry

Fellas this is exactly how you enter a red carpet. No notes.

Miranda Cross all coquette

Cameron Murray in a black and white suit and Miranda Cross in a pastel pink corset top dress with a lace skirt.

I’ve consulted the Gen Z team members and can confirm Miranda Cross’s dress is what the kids are calling “coquette.” Cameron Murray’s coquettte scale is yet to be confirmed.  (Getty: Mark Metcalfe)

This might also be coquette? Can a teenager please confirm? 

Jahrome Hughes in a black and white suit and Molly Hughs in a beige corset with a floral lace skirt.

To be honest, I’m not really sure what “coquette” is and I’m too scared to ask if Jahrome Hughes or Molly Hughes are dressed that way.  (Getty: Mark Metcalfe)

Vessa Cherry-Evans by name, strawberry by dress

No really, this is incredible.

The Fonua-Blakes add some colour

FINALLY, we see some fashion from one of the fellas with this stunning coordinated ensemble.

Isabelle Kelly dazzles in gold

She rocked a neon pink frock last year, and so our high expectations were met with this get-up from Isabelle Kelly of the Roosters.

I’m going to be honest here: Isabelle Kelly’s dress does not look comfortable but boy does it make for some high-fashion style. A dazzling gold wrap-around dress is exactly what we want to see tonight. She’s here with husband Jake Callister.  (Getty Images: Mark Metcalfe)
