Channel Seven presenter Rebecca Maddern ensured all eyes were on her as she attended the 2024 Brownlow Medal at Crown Melbourne on Monday night.
The 47-year-old put on a very leggy display in a striking red gown that stole the spotlight.
The Geelong-born stunner wowed in a daring floor-length scarlet gown, which featured a thigh-high split that flaunted her toned legs.
The dress was also designed with a unique criss-cross neckline, adding an extra layer of drama.
Its bodice boasted strategically placed cut-outs to accentuate her stunning hourglass figure.
Rebecca paired the bold outfit with matching red pointed heels.
For accessories, she wore a delicate silver bracelet on her wrist while a diamond-encrusted ring provided a touch of sparkle.
Her sleek blonde hair was styled in an elegant updo, drawing attention to her striking features.

For makeup, she opted for a dewy complexion and emphasised her eyes with smoky tones and completed the look with a nude lip.
Her glamorous outing comes amid reports that the arrival of a former ABC TV presenter, Karina Carvalho, at Channel Seven‘s Melbourne offices has upset network stars – chief among them respected news and sport presenter Maddern.
Seven sources told Daily Mail Australia that the longtime anchor has been left nervous about her role at the network following the recent hiring of Carvalho, 43, and a cull of dozens of network staff across the country.
In August, Cavalho covered Maddern’s usual evening news anchoring role alongside Mike Amor after she flew overseas for a family wedding – Maddern was expected to be off-air until September.
Meanwhile, before her leave, insiders said Maddern was furious to arrive at the network’s Docklands studios only to discover that Cavalho had already done pre-recordings she had been expecting to complete.
‘Some staff think Karina was hired to replace Bec,’ one insider told Daily Mail Australia, noting that Maddern had been ‘very vocal’ about defending her patch on the newsroom floor lately.

But senior Seven insiders pushed back – arguing that Maddern was too valuable to the network’s news and sport divisions, and that the station needed more senior local female anchors.
Maddern is on a long-term contract and highly valued by the station, sources insisted.
Behind the scenes, Maddern is understood to be supported by her loyal colleagues who have been talking her through the tricky new dynamic.
