Bec Judd, the well-known AFL WAG and media personality, has shared a candid beauty confession that could have dramatically altered her wedding day with former football star husband Chris Judd. The 42-year-old revealed on her popular Vain-ish podcast this week that a trendy makeup choice almost prompted a marital crisis before the ceremony had even begun.
A Wedding Day Beauty Dilemma
During a conversation with co-host Jess Roberts and guest Rebecca Harding about Harding's upcoming wedding to comedian Andy Lee, the discussion turned to groom involvement in wedding aesthetics. When Jess asked Rebecca if Andy would have input on her wedding day look, Rebecca responded with a firm negative, explaining that her fiancé wanted her to choose whatever made her feel best.
This exchange prompted Bec to reflect on her own experience marrying Chris Judd on New Year's Eve in 2010. She admitted that her attempt to stay fashion-forward nearly created an unfortunate pre-wedding scene.
The Red Lipstick Incident
"I tried a red lip just before our wedding for a shoot, and I was quite digging myself," Bec confessed on the podcast. Feeling confident about the bold look, she considered repeating it for her actual wedding day until consulting her then-fiancé.
"I came home and I said to Chris: 'Shall I do a red lip on the wedding day?' And he was like: 'No way. No way!'" Bec recalled. "And thank God he said that. What was I thinking?"
Rebecca Harding immediately agreed with Chris's reaction, pointing out the practical challenges of maintaining such a high-maintenance look throughout a wedding celebration. "Imagine the upkeep of it," she said. "And then you guys kiss. It's like, we now pronounce you husband and wife. We present you Mr and Mrs Judd. And Juddy, he turns around and he's got red lips."
Other Memorable Wedding Moments
Bec expressed relief that she opted for a different makeup look, especially since their nuptials already contained several unconventional elements. "Lucky I didn't do that because already our celebrant went rogue on the wedding day and did a rap," she revealed.
"I think maybe because Chris liked rap that he thought it was cool, but it was totally unexpected. We still laugh about it."
Jewellery Updates and Engagement Story
The beauty revelation comes as Bec recently showcased her redesigned engagement ring on social media. The AFL WAG shared images of her updated sparkler in an Instagram post, explaining that she had re-set the original stone.
"How good does it look?!" the 42-year-old exclaimed in her post, which featured several photographs of the new design. This marks the second time Bec has modified her engagement ring since Chris proposed in 2009 with a 1.62-carat diamond.
In 2019, she added a diamond halo to her plain white gold band, but has since removed the halo and re-set the band with a pear-shaped diamond. Bec again collaborated with jeweller Paul Bram for this latest redesign, tagging him in her social media posts.
The Engagement Ring Backstory
Despite Chris Judd being one of Australian Football League's highest-paid players at the time of their engagement, Bec has previously revealed that he received a "little discount" when purchasing her ring. While denying rumours that they obtained the expensive jewellery for free, Bec admitted on KIIS FM's The 3pm Pick-Up that her husband didn't pay full price.
"No, we got a good deal, I work with Paul Bram diamonds, remember," she explained, quickly shutting down speculation about extravagant spending. The social media influencer has maintained her professional relationship with the jeweller through multiple redesigns of her signature piece.
The wedding day beauty confession provides a humorous glimpse into the Judds' relationship dynamics, demonstrating how even celebrity couples navigate fashion disagreements and create lasting memories from unexpected moments.
