Carrie Bickmore, the popular radio personality, has found herself at the centre of a social media storm after attending a colleague's wedding in a revealing ensemble over the weekend. The 45-year-old star, known for her role on Carrie & Tommy, chose a shimmering cream two-piece set by Koster Kulture for the nuptials of newsreader Jesse Watkins and his partner Caroline Varney in the countryside.
Outfit Details Spark Debate
The outfit featured a long skirt with a high thigh slit and a matching top that showed a hint of her abs and was backless. Carrie accessorised with strappy sandals, designer sunglasses, and a parasol to shield from the sun. She explained to fans that she saw the look 'on a beautiful girl on New Year’s Day and asked what it was and stole her look!'
Mixed Reactions from Followers
While many praised the ensemble as stunning, others criticised it as inappropriate for a wedding, particularly the colour choice. One commenter wrote, 'Hope the bride was ok with ur Sexy Bride coloured dress,' while another noted, 'Stunning dress, but the colour is probably not suitable for a wedding.' Some accused Carrie of trying to upstage the bride, who wore an off-the-shoulder gown, with remarks like, 'Yeah, it looks like she tried to look better than the bride, and the skin cut-outs are a bit much.'
Persistent Romance Rumours with Tommy Little
The controversy coincided with Carrie posing alongside her co-host Tommy Little at the event, fuelling ongoing speculation about their relationship. Fans have long speculated about romance due to their on-air chemistry and flirty social media exchanges. Recent appearances together, including cuddling at a golf tournament in Adelaide and a trip to Uluru, have only intensified rumours.
At the wedding, fans commented on their chemistry, with one saying, 'Anyone else thinkin what I'm thinkin….just get it together you two, please!!!!!' and another adding, 'Omg luv this photo wish you 2 cuties would get together life’s too short and you are both happy when together xx' These rumours have persisted since Carrie's public split from long-time partner Chris Walker in 2023.
Career Support and Public Appearances
Carrie has shown support for Tommy's career, attending his shows at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and posting sweet snaps together, such as one from the LIV Golf tournament last year. Despite the criticism over her wedding attire, Carrie appeared glowing in photos, highlighting the ongoing fascination with her personal and professional life.
