MIX some bold prints with some playful colour and an unexpected children’s toy and what do you get?
Some of the successful fashion looks from the young stars and stalwarts of the Ovens and Murray at last night’s Morris Medal count.
It’s one of the biggest nights on the Border’s sporting calendar and those in attendance pulled out all stops to ensure they impressed in their finery.
Selecting a colour palette was easy for netball umpire Amy Collins.
“I had a royal blue top all ready to go — it matches my eyes,” she said.
Many eyes were, in fact, on what she was carrying — a red plastic clutch that resembled a piece of Lego.
“I felt like being a bit playful,” Miss Collins said.
Embracing spring with a floral dress was Wodonga Raiders netballer Olivia Toth.
The 18-year-old finished the look with a pair of white platform heels and wasn’t concerned about walking in the sky-high shoes.
“These are actually one of my smaller heels,” she said.
Myrtleford’s Jess Naughton turned a few heads as she walked into the SS&A Club foyer dressed in an elegant black playsuit.
She was tossing up between wearing a dress or something a bit more unexpected and said her boyfriend, Myrtleford footballer Christian Burgess, could take the credit.
“I made him pick between a dress or this playsuit and he told me the playsuit,” she said.
“I guess he can take the credit for this one.”
Lavington netballer Rhiannon Dolahenty, dressed in a black “flowy” dress with gold detail, had an unusual accessory — an arm cast.
“I was told I could hide it with a glove, but I wanted to show it off,” she said.
Standing out in the crowd in a pink fluorescent dress was Lavington netballer Tamara Mathews.
“With the warmer weather approaching, it’s nice to put on something bright,” she said.
Another of her dresses made an appearance on fellow netballer Gemma Coburn.
“I borrowed this dress from Tamara, she has a great wardrobe,” she said.
The men proved they also knew a thing or two about fashion.
Corowa’s James Svarc looked suave in his suit with a double collar.
