Members of Women in Film and Television NSW arrived in the best look of the night - dressed as giant sausages to "Australia's biggest sausage party". Hat tip to the ladies for using fashion to make a statement about the low instance of female nominations in this year's awards.

Taking style notes from Julie Bishop, Australia's next best thing to a Foreign Minister donned a power suit of Hillary Clinton proportions in this inky number by Carla Zampatti complete with jade green Christian Louboutin heels.
Miranda Tapsall
Not only did she look cooler than Kate Moss, but the Love Child star represented the Australian fashion industry by wearing a look by By Weave - a label that designs and produces 100 per cents of its wares down under.
Jess Mauboy
Looking like an Australian version of the Duchess of Cambridge during official royal business, The Secret Daughter star shone in this Paolo Sebastian princess gown complete with hand-embroidered wildflowers and a shiny over-the-shoulder bolder holder neckline.
