WAG Jessica Edwards turned heads as she walked the red carpet at the Brownlow Medal Awards on Monday night – but not for the reasons she expected.
The 26-year-old social media star showed off a lot more than she bargained for when she arrived in a sheer purple dress on the arm of her boyfriend, St Kilda player Jack Sinclair.
Bright lights at Crown Melbourne created an awkward gaffe where the YouTube sensation’s nipple cover was exposed as it reflected a camera flash.
Jessica was all smiles as she posed with her boyfriend, unaware of the fashion faux pas that could be seen just beneath the turtleneck of her dress.
Her skin-colored panties could also be seen beneath the sheer, sheer material, though it appears that at least that was the purpose of the Rat & Boa dress, which retails for $430.
The lifestyle vlogger accessorized her bold look with a pair of strappy black heels and simple pieces of gold jewelry.
Opting for a smoky eye look and nude lips, she then pulled her brunette hair back into an elegant bun, leaving out a few face-framing strands.
Meanwhile, his partner Jack, 29, looked excited to attend the AFL night of nights as he dressed in a smart black and white tuxedo.

This comes as Carlton captain Patrick Cripps won his second AFL Brownlow Medal, polling a record 45 votes to convincingly claim the honour on Monday night.
The 29-year-old is the first player to win two Brownlows while playing for Carlton, having also won the game’s most prestigious individual honour two years ago.
Cripps held an unassailable lead with four rounds remaining and Collingwood’s Nick Daicos finished second on 38, while Port Adelaide’s Zak Butters bagged 29 to sit third.
After three years of close finishes, it is the most emphatic victory since Brisbane Lions’ Lachie Neale won the first of his two Brownlows by 10 in the COVID-shortened 2020 season.
Despite the fashion faux pas, Jessica looked stunning in the daring dress as she arrived on the arm of her partner Jack, who looked dapper in a tuxedo.
Daicos, who was second favourite behind Cripps, also broke the old vote record of 36, previously held by Richmond’s Dustin Martin (2017) and Port Adelaide’s Ollie Wines (2021).
Cripps gave a nod to his record-breaking teammate after the win: “Crazy night, mate. I’d like to start by mentioning Nick, who also broke the record tonight. Nick, I love watching you play, I love playing against you. Congratulations on an amazing year.
‘A lot of players have had fantastic years. I knew it was my most consistent year, but there were some mistakes I had to work on. It’s the year I’ve played the most games. You never know, Brownlow night is what makes it so exciting.
“I am extremely grateful to be up here, it is not something I take lightly,” he concluded.
