NRL WAGs Shine at 2026 Dally M Awards

The 2026 Dally M Awards commenced at The Cutaway in Sydney's Barangaroo on Thursday evening, drawing the partners of rugby league players, known as WAGs, to the forefront.

Metallic hues, particularly gold, emerged as a prominent trend on the red carpet. Karina May, partner of Manly Sea Eagles player Kieran Foran, garnered attention in a pale golden gown adorned with intricate art deco-style beading. The dress featured a sheer, nude tulle skirt and was complemented by a cream leather designer purse.

Mama Oliver, accompanying North Queensland Cowboys player Tom Dearden, also opted for a gold ensemble. Her high-fashion look included a layered gown with an off-the-shoulder satin bodice paired with a fitted lamé skirt. She completed the outfit with nude heels.

The event celebrates achievements within the National Rugby League.
