Australian influencer Indy Clinton found herself in a slightly awkward moment on Wednesday night as she struggled to lock in the perfect red carpet pose at the TikTok Awards in Sydney.
A Red Carpet Balancing Act
The 28-year-old social media star stepped onto the red carpet braless in a glittering halterneck gown that commanded attention with its plunging neckline. The daring ensemble, which also featured a thigh-high split, proved tricky to manoeuvre as Indy was photographed awkwardly shifting, twisting and re-adjusting her position for the waiting photographers.
At one point, she lifted her arms to fix her hair before swivelling her torso and angling her hips in a determined effort to find a stance that both showcased the shimmering gown and avoided any potential wardrobe mishaps.
Stars Shine at Sydney Ceremony
Despite the minor red-carpet fumbling, Indy eventually pulled off a confident display alongside other notable attendees. Adam Hyde, MAFS star Jules Robinson, and host Sophie Monk also rocked head-turning looks on the red carpet.
They were joined by Today's Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo, along with drag superstar Courtney Act, creating a diverse gathering of Australia's media personalities.
