The brightest stars of the AFLW have illuminated Melbourne, stepping out in style for the league's most prestigious night of the year. The red carpet was a spectacle of glamour as players arrived for the AFLW Awards 2025, ready to celebrate a stellar season and honour the game's elite performers.
Red Carpet Arrivals: A Show of Style
Before the main ceremony commenced, the athletes showcased their fashion sense away from the field. An array of stunning outfits, from shimmering sequins to elegant silks, turned heads as the women were photographed ahead of the evening's festivities. Among the arrivals were groups from various clubs, including the West Coast Eagles and Fremantle Dockers, highlighting the collective spirit of the league.
Adding a touch of celebrity flair to the football event, media personality Abbie Chatfield was also in attendance. Her presence was likely linked to her partner, Adam Hyde from the acclaimed electronic duo Peking Duk, who delivered a show-stopping performance as the headline act for the pre-game entertainment at Saturday's AFLW grand final.
The Night's Top Honour Up for Grabs
The centrepiece of the evening is the awarding of the league's highest individual accolade, the AFLW Best and Fairest medal. All eyes are on the top contenders, with the dynamic North Melbourne pair of Ash Riddell and Jasmine Garner leading the conversation for the top gong. Their exceptional seasons have placed them at the forefront of the competition.
A Celebration of Women's Football
Held on November 24, 2025, the awards night serves as the grand finale to the AFLW season. It is a moment to recognise the immense talent, dedication, and athleticism that has captivated fans across Australia. The event not only crowns the best and fairest player but also celebrates the entire community and the growing legacy of women's Australian rules football.
