Media personality Abbie Chatfield provided a masterclass in savvy fashion economics this week, demonstrating the principle of 'cost per wear' with her expensive accessories at two major Australian events.
A Week of High-Profile Appearances
The influencer made her second prominent appearance of the week on Monday, arriving at Melbourne's W Awards carrying the same $1160 Coperni Swipe tote bag she had showcased just days earlier. The 30-year-old podcaster had previously carried the metallic leather accessory to Sydney's ARIA Awards the previous Wednesday, ensuring she extracted maximum value from her designer investment.
Chatfield complemented her futuristic silver purse with an elegant Maygel Coronel frock in Gorgonia Sage, valued at $889. The off-shoulder, corseted dress featured a plaid design with a ruched skirt and high leg slit, creating a striking silhouette on the red carpet. She completed her look with her signature curly locks styled in an up-do.
Red Carpet Dynamics With Partner
Accompanying Chatfield was her boyfriend, Adam Hyde, who looked dashing in a traditional grey unbuttoned blazer paired with a black unbuttoned shirt that revealed his tattooed chest. The 35-year-old musician, who performs under the stage name Keli Holiday, attended Australia's most prestigious music night with his song Dancing2 nominated for Best Video.
However, the couple's red carpet moment wasn't without tension. Cameras captured what appeared to be a tense exchange between the pair as they approached the photo wall, with Chatfield seemingly telling off her boyfriend and pointing a finger at him. Despite the awkward spectacle, Hyde appeared unfazed, even offering a thumbs-up as they were called for photographs.
From Tension to Celebration
The former Bachelor star quickly changed her demeanour, looking lovingly at her boyfriend as camera flashes erupted around them. The couple then sent temperatures soaring with a passionate embrace, packing on the PDA with a significant kiss that contrasted sharply with their earlier tension.
The evening culminated in celebration when Adam Hyde won Best Video for his hit song Dancing2 at the ceremony held at Hordern Pavilion. The musician's acceptance speech generated additional buzz when he went off-script during his moment of triumph.
Clearly overwhelmed with emotion, Hyde concluded his speech with an uncensored thank you, telling supporters of Australian music: 'You're a sick c**t.' The unfiltered moment added to what proved to be an eventful evening for both the musician and his influencer partner.
