Brownlow Medal 2025 LIVE: All eyes on Bailey Smith as Geelong hopeful reveals his date for the awards evening, as Nick Daicos and Jordan Dawson also in the running for the AFL's top gong

So we're only a couple of hours away from the main ceremony which is set to begin at 8:00pm (AEST).

Which attendees dazzled and who stunned on the red carpet on Monday night?

Footy royalty have been making their way into Melbourne's Crown Palladium already and there have been some very glamorous looks on show already.

Bailey Smith is wearing a brown suit, perhaps in the hope of picking up the Brownlow Medal for the first time in his career.

We've also spotted Rory Lobb's girlfriend, Lexi Mary, who has stunned in a shimmering Alin Le’Kal dress.

It's not the first time that we've seen this dress, though. Ricki-Lee Coulter was also seen sporting this gown earlier this year at the Australian Idol finale!

Sam Flanders' partner Ellie Dickinson (below), also stunned in a beautiful gold dress as she took to the Red Carpet for the awards evening.

Max Holmes accompanied his partner Jess Butler (below) who donned a stunning purple gown on the red carpet.

And Fox Footy presenter Sarah Jones glowed as she donned a yelow gown for the awards evening.

Good evening and welcome to Daily Mail Australia's live coverage of the 2025 Brownlow Medal awards ceremony!

All eyes tonight are on Bailey Smith, as the Geelong star arrives at the Crown Palladium for his first-ever Brownlow Medal awards night, and he's rocked up in style, donning a very sporty pair of sunglasses.

Amid rumours of his relationship with social media influencer Tammy Hembrow, Smith has also revealed who his date will be for the awards evening and we'll have more on that coming up a little later.

Meanwhile, he is up against some tough competition this year, as Collingwood's Nick Daicos and Adelaide's Jordan Dawson are also in the running to win this year's coveted best and fairest award.

The stars are in the house so let's take a quick look at some of the best outfits we've spotted on the red carpet so far!
