Channel Nine's Maggie Raworth Celebrates Lavish Hens Weekend

Channel Nine weather presenter Maggie Raworth recently celebrated her upcoming wedding to fellow TV journalist Reid Butler with a lively hens weekend in Ballarat. The festivities took place at a historic mansion, with Raworth sharing highlights of the event on Instagram.

Raworth, who is preparing to marry Butler, embraced the celebratory atmosphere in a striking red lace bodysuit paired with a voluminous red tulle cape. She styled her blonde hair in waves and accessorized with a diamond choker and bold red lipstick.

In a departure from tradition, Butler also joined the weekend's celebrations. Photos from the event show him dressed in gold Spandex leggings, an oversized yellow jacket, T-shirt, and boots, joining his friends in the festivities.

Among the attendees were Nine News Melbourne reporters Lana Murphy and Steph Anderson, along with court reporter Amber Johnston. The group shared images of their time at the mansion, depicting a lively celebration.

This celebration follows Raworth's appearance in an "A Current Affair" segment in June that aimed to challenge unrealistic beauty standards by having her go makeup-free. The segment, part of the Laugh Lines Project, drew mixed reactions online, with some viewers offering support for her natural appearance while others posted critical comments.
