Ruby Tuesday Matthews, a 32-year-old influencer from Byron Bay, has revealed a new talent for fashion design, unveiling a self-designed, revealing gown on social media. The dress features a high leg slit, dramatic side cut-outs, and an open back, flowing into a floor-length train.
Matthews shared a video of her design process on Instagram, showing her draping and pinning fabric over a mannequin in her living room. She humorously captioned the post, "Attempt #1. I think it has potential... My kids think I've completely lost the plot." The video then transitions to her modeling the finished garment, which she accessorized with layered diamond necklaces and her hair styled in an updo.
This creative endeavor follows closely behind Matthews' public display of a third engagement ring from her long-term fiancé, Shannan Dodd. She revealed the new 12.59-carat Ashoka diamond ring on Instagram, stating it was a Mother's Day gift from Dodd. While the exact price of such a diamond can vary, it is estimated to be worth as much as $3 million.
Matthews and Dodd became engaged in June 2021. Despite being engaged for several years, the couple has not yet set a wedding date. Matthews previously mentioned in February that while she desires to get married, other life goals, such as acquiring a pool and addressing home repairs, take precedence.
