Fremantle Dockers WAGS Lizzie Stock and Chloe Furnari reveal details of AFL Brownlow Medal 2024 looks.
The sporting and fashion worlds are about to collide again for the AFL’s night of nights, and eyes will not only be on who claims footy’s highest honour but also the glamorous gowns.
The fiancees of Fremantle Dockers co-captains Andy Brayshaw and Caleb Serong — Lizzie Stock and Chloe Furnari — have shared some insight into their style and who will be dressing them up in jewels this year.
Peppermint Grove Jewellers — one of the only places in WA to make jewellery onsite — will provide sparkling diamond necklaces for the girls.
Stock’s elegant and vintage vision came to life with a necklace featuring a solid gold band and a timeless five-carat-diamond pendant.
Furnari’s diamond necklace is more suited to the brand’s statement pieces and elevated red carpet collection.
“We are thrilled to showcase our craftsmanship on this prestigious stage and look forward to seeing our creations sparkle on the AFL red carpet this year,” co-owner and founder Giuseppe Alegari said.
For this year’s Brownlow red carpet, lots of bold pieces are expected with large diamonds that make a statement.
“Both mixed metal jewellery, wearing both yellow and gold I think will be big on this year’s red carpet.
“Also for those more extravagant dresses, it is always nice to keep it simple with soft dainty elegant pieces as well,” he said.
Furnari — an interior designer — will be dressed in a custom-designed gown by Perth’s Blanc Bridal Boutique, marking the atelier’s Brownlow debut.
“I can’t wait to showcase what we have created together. The dress is elegant with a little bit of drama. I cannot wait to wear it,” she said.
“Peppermint Grove Jewellers have also designed a custom piece for the event. I won’t share too much about the necklace but I can’t begin to explain how beautiful the people, and the pieces, are at this family-run jeweller.
“Again, their creative flare is shown in this design and it emulates the beauty of the people who created it. I feel so lucky to be a part of such a seamless design process with some of the best people and creatives in Perth.”
Cosmetic nurse Stock will be wearing a colourful dress from Melbourne-based designer Georgia Young.
“It’s somewhat Parisian-inspired to align with her upcoming unreleased collection,” she said.
“I cannot wait to finally get the dress and the necklace together.”
Blanc Bridal Boutique owner Brittany Zajitz offered her take on what to expect from the red carpet this year.
“I anticipate a resurgence of pastels, driven by the growing trend toward romanticism and femininity in both daywear and evening wear.
“I’m also hoping to see more adventurous silhouettes and voluminous gowns, with a stronger focus on styling to bring these looks to life.
Looking at beauty trends, skin and eyebrow expert Katarina Callegari of Studio Katarina in Subiaco said natural, fluffy Hailey Bieber brows were still in, thanks to lamination.
“Natural lashes are also a hit, so skip the high-volume extensions and go for a more effortless vibe,” she said.
“When it comes to skin, it’s all about that healthy, glowing look with a touch of pink cheekbone definition. Bold brows are out, so try a softer makeup look or a tinted brow finish, and don’t forget to seal it all with a clear brow gel for a sleek finish.”
