The festive season may be over, but the glamour was just beginning in Sydney this weekend. A host of celebrities descended on King Street Wharf for the highly anticipated Aperol Afloat party, held aboard the luxurious floating venue, Seadeck.
Fashion Statements Steal the Show
All eyes were on model and swimwear entrepreneur Tali Jatali, who made a bold style statement at the nautical event. The 58-year-old fashion icon wore a daring, long-sleeve brown top with a distinctive ruched design and a central hourglass split that revealed her midriff and a hint of décolletage.
She paired the eye-catching top with vibrant hot pink leggings that highlighted her slender frame. Completing her look with raven hair worn down, black almond-shaped sunglasses, and a $2,100 black raffia Loewe tote bag, Jatali proved her ageless style credentials on the harbour.
MAFS Stars Bring the Party Vibe
The guest list was packed with familiar faces from the world of reality television, particularly stars from the upcoming season of Married At First Sight 2025.
Adrian Araouzou, 31, arrived ready to celebrate, sporting a freshly shaved head and a thick beard. He showcased his physique in a simple black tank top, continuing the monochrome theme with matching trousers and black-and-white patent leather loafers. Ever practical, he draped a light bone-coloured denim jacket over one shoulder.
Fellow MAFS participant Ryan Donnelly, 36—known for being paired with Jacqui Burfoot—opted for a more casual aesthetic. He wore a plain white T-shirt, navy chinos, and white leather sneakers, adding a touch of edge with dark sunglasses and a silver chain.
Elegant Arrivals and Stunning Styles
Another beloved MAFS alum, Jules Robinson, 43, was also in attendance, though without her husband Cam Merchant. She looked radiant in an elegant teal halter-neck maxi dress from Australian label Elliatt, which featured intricate rope detailing.
Robinson accessorised with strappy blue espadrilles, tinted glasses, gold wrist jewellery, and a multi-coloured Gucci handbag. She was seen beaming and mingling happily with other guests as they prepared to board the vessel for a day of festivities on the water.
The event marked a spectacular start to the new year's social calendar, blending high fashion, reality TV fame, and Sydney's stunning harbour backdrop for an unforgettable day at sea.
