Nine Stars Dazzle at Annual Upfronts Event in Sydney

Channel Nine personalities gathered in Sydney on Thursday for the network's annual Upfronts event. The gathering, held in Barangaroo at the edge of the Sydney CBD, saw stars from various Nine programs in attendance.

Sophie Monk arrived in a chocolate-colored gown by Effie Kats, priced at $489. The dress featured a low-cut neckline and a sheer maxi skirt. Monk, 46, host of Love Island, paired the outfit with soft waves in her hair and a glossy pink lip.

Samantha Armytage, 50, opted for a more understated look with a black blouse featuring a bow detail at the neck. The Golden Bachelor host complemented the blouse with high-waisted black slacks and peep-toe heels. She kept her makeup minimal and accessorized with a silver clutch and watch.

Allison Langdon, host of A Current Affair, wore a black dress by Camilla and Marc, valued at $850. The 47-year-old's dress featured a conservative neckline and a playful fringe detail, creating a midi silhouette. She completed the look with simple black heels.

Sports presenter Danika Mason, 35, showcased her baby bump in a dark plum maxi dress. Mason, who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Liam Knight, paired the dress with sandal heels.

Brittany Hockley, 39, a host from Life Uncut and MAFS: After The Dinner Party, wore a champagne-colored mini dress by L'idée, retailing for $612. She accessorized with silver sandal heels and styled her hair in a long braid. Hockley was seen posing with her MAFS co-host Jules Lund.

The Block hosts Shelley Craft and Scott Cam were also present. Craft, 50, wore a chocolate brown satin set with a high neck and bow-leg slacks, paired with black pumps. Cam, 63, chose a grey tweed jacket over an olive green button-up shirt and black slacks.

Fellow Block star Shaynna Blaze, 63, appeared in an all-black ensemble. She styled her blonde hair in a sleek up-do and wore smoky eye makeup with heavy blush.

Australian actor Rodger Corser, 53, attended in a black suit jacket and grey jeans.

The event also comes as Channel Nine confirmed changes to its morning programming. Sylvia Jeffreys and Tom Steinfort are set to become the new hosts of the Today show, replacing Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo. Abo, who has been on maternity leave, announced her departure earlier in the week.

Steinfort will replace Stefanovic, and Jeffreys will take over from Abo at the end of the year. The network stated these appointments follow extensive research and audience feedback. As part of the reshuffle, Belinda Russell will join David Campbell as co-host of Today Extra. Alicia Loxley will continue as the anchor for 9News Melbourne's 6pm weeknight bulletin.

The new Today hosting team is scheduled to begin on September 18, starting at 5:30 a.m.
