As always, the ARIA Awards were a show down of Australia’s hottest music acts strutting their stuff not only on the stage, but  also down the red carpet. While some outfits were questionable (Molly Meldrum, I’m talking about accessorising with your white fluffy dog),  here’s our pick of beautiful Australian young women.

 

MTV’s Ruby Rose rocked the red carpet with a gorgeous red strapless number with ruffles. Throw in her punky blonde hair and tatts, and you have one spunky young lady.

 

 

 

 

 

Nat Bassingthwaite went for a grecian style creme dress with gold detail. Check out the platforms on those shoes!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vanessa Amorosi is back with a new attitude and style to match. This daring dress is seemingly held together with large saftey pins. We are loving her chunky rings!

 

 

 

 

 

In what appears to be her signature layered style, Orianthi chose bright blue nail polish to finsh off her look. Michael Jackson’s guitarist is making waves with her track  ‘According To You’.

 

 

 

 

 

Lisa Mitchell’s pixie boots drew attention on the red carpet. Pairing her dress with matching chunky bangles, Lisa’s look is simple yet stylish.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Quirky Kate Miller-Heidke was stunning in a floor length black silk gown with feather detail. Offset by her statement orange hair, Kate was a stand out on the red carpet.

 

 

 

 

 

Girl of the moment Jessica Mauboy opted for a clean white dress with gathered features and chunky chain detail.

The zip details on her shoes added a splice of rock to the R’nB diva’s look.
