Bec Judd’s 2004 Brownlow Gown: An Iconic ‘LOL’ Moment

The racy gown that put Rebecca ‘Bec’ Judd on the map at the 2004 Brownlow Medal red carpet has now been ‘immortalised’ in the most ‘iconic’ way.

The AFL WAG, 42, shared a screenshot to Instagram on Thursday, revealing the red dress now has its own Wikipedia entry.

Known then by her maiden name Rebecca Twigley, the model wowed onlookers in the bespoke frock in the mid-2000s, with its daring slit and plunging neckline.

Worth an eye-watering $2,000, the outfit, designed by Ruth Tarvydas, helped catapult Bec into her current status as the Queen of WAGs.

The Wikipedia entry includes many details about Bec’s fashion coup, including a notorious quote from the then CEO of the AFL Andrew Demetriou.

The footy boss described the dark-haired beauty’s appearance at the Brownlow as ‘one of the 20 highlights of the 2004 AFL season’.

It also shares Bec’s stunned reaction, which she shared with the Herald Sun the following year: ‘I really didn’t think it would grab that much attention, but I got hounded on the red carpet. Everyone wanted an interview and pictures.’

Bec’s Instagram share included a comment from Sarah Davidson who recently hosted the AFL WAG on her Seize The Yay podcast to discuss her sensational red carpet moment.

‘Lol! It [Bec’s gown] has its own Wiki page,’ the podcaster said.

She continued: ‘A truly iconic moment in Australian fashion, which I loved hearing about from the inside.

‘I’ve always said Bec is one of the loveliest, most down to earth people I’ve met in the industry when you might not expect it and that shines through so much in our chat.’

It comes after Bec named the price it would take to sell her family home in Melbourne’s Brighton.

Taking to social media on Sunday to share an image from the lavish property she shares with husband Chris and their four children, she revealed the eye-watering amount it would take her family to relocate from the desirable Bayside property.

‘No, we are not selling. But if somebody wants to pay 10 times market rates, then sure, it’s all yours,’ she wrote in the caption.

Bec and Chris moved into the $7.3 million mansion in December 2019.

They have since conducted extensive renovation work on the property, increasing its value, including installing an extra bedroom and rumpus room.

The power couple originally purchased the sprawling house in March 2018, and commenced a complete makeover before moving in.

A gallery of photos shared to Instagram showed the backyard pool area under construction.

After building was completed, the space was transformed into an entertainment oasis, with rendered rock, a magnesium pool and an outdoor kitchen.
