Bronte Campbell stepped out on the red carpet after announcing her engagement to longtime boyfriend Benfield Lainchbury.
The 30-year-old golden girl of Australian swimming looked proud as a lark to have her new fiancé on her arm as they attended the Swimming Australia Awards in Brisbane.
The athlete shined in a figure-hugging bronze slip dress that featured a daring thigh-high slit.
She carried a matching bag and opted for warm-toned makeup that complemented her dress.
Meanwhile, Benfield, 35, looked dapper in a classic tuxedo with a white shirt underneath and a bow tie.
The couple announced their engagement in a series of emotional photos on Instagram earlier this month.
Bronte shared a carousel of cute couple photos, with the standout being the second image of Bronte showing off a stunning emerald-cut diamond set east to west on a gold band on her ring finger.
Another photo captured the moment after the proposal, when the couple enjoyed a golden sunset on a boat in Venice, Italy.

Bronte and Benfield took the selfie with matching smiles, with her left hand and her new jewelry resting on his bicep.
The happy couple went on holiday to Europe after the 2024 Paris Olympics, where Bronte took home a gold medal in the women’s 4x100m relay final for Australia. That makes her a four-time Olympic gold medallist, but now it’s the diamond she brought home from Europe that has everyone talking.
“What a week celebrating all that’s been and all the exciting things yet to come. Love you @ieldbenf. Easiest yes ever,” Bronte wrote in the caption.
The other two photos show her in a yellow summer dress giving her boyfriend a kiss on the cheek and at a beautiful garden table set for a meal the couple enjoyed during their travels.
