Billy Brownless cleaned up well on Thursday night, as did his much younger girlfriend Crystle Fleur.
The AFL great, who went public with Crystle a year ago, attended the Geelong Cats Awards Night at Crown Palladium in Melbourne alongside the blonde bombshell.
The mother-of-three looked radiant in a champagne-coloured gown.
The $950 frock by Scanlan Theodore cinched at her waist and fell dramatically to the floor in a princess-style skirt.
She paired the stunning dress with a white Michael Kors handbag and matching white strappy heels.
Her long blonde locks fell in waves across her shoulders as she wore a giant smile on her face next to her beau.

Meanwhile, the former Geelong Cats star suited up in navy blue for the occasion.
The 58-year-old matched his girlfriend with a champagne-coloured tie and wore brown leather boots as he wrapped his arm around his partner for a photo.
Also in attendance at the awards night was Bailey Smith, who made an understated entrance after a month of being the centre of attention – and becoming embroiled in a Mad Monday scandal.
The beaten AFL grand finalists Mad Monday celebrations spiralled into controversy when Smith posted a Brokeback Mountain reference alongside teammate Patrick Dangerfield.
The post drew heavy criticism, sparking backlash across the AFL community.
Smith also mocked journalist Caroline Wilson by praising a teammate’s costume of her, before quickly deleting it.
Media figures called the behaviour disrespectful, especially in the wake of the season’s end.
The club later issued an apology, scrapped Mad Monday in its current form, and promised a review of player standards.

Smith made headlines when he arrived at the All-Australian awards in New Balance ‘snoafers’ and was asked by Geelong’s CEO to switch into RM Williams suede boots.
He also was the centre of attention at the Brownlow Medal Awards with his ‘speed dealer’ sunglasses that he wore on the night.
This time around though, Smith kept it very plain and simple at Crown Palladium for the Carji Greeves Medal awards night.
There were no sunglasses, no experimental shoes or other fashion accessories and no tie as Smith arrived wearing head-to-toe black for the occasion.
There were no outlandish comments on social media either. Smith shared a video tagging teammates Tom Atkins and Mark Blicavs with the caption ‘two of the best’.
He also posed for a photo with Max Holmes and injured star Jeremy Cameron, with the caption ‘humbled to be alongside these lads’ and a heart emoji.
Holmes claimed his second-straight Carji Greeves Medal after another standout season for Geelong.
He polled 175 votes, with Smith finishing runner-up on 155 and Jeremy Cameron third on 145.

Holmes played every game in 2025, polling votes in all matches and being judged best by coaches five times. He averaged a career-high 26.9 disposals and ranked first in the AFL for inside 50s.
Smith enjoyed a stellar first season with the Cats, leading the AFL in average disposals with 31.3. Smith also finished third in the Brownlow Medal and won his first All Australian blazer.
Cameron kicked a career-best 88 goals, securing his second Coleman Medal and fifth All Australian jacket as captain of the 2025 team.
Atkins and Blicavs were joint winners of the Tom Harley Best Club Person award.
Connor O’Sullivan was recognised as Best Young Player after a breakout defensive season.
The night also farewelled Mitch Duncan, who retired after 305 games and two premierships.
