Influencers Caught in Downpour at AFW Show

Some of the nation's most glamorous influencers were sent into meltdown on Monday night after a bout of torrential rain crashed Carla Zampatti’s outdoor runway show. 

Despite a wet weather forecast, guests arrived at the event primped and preened to perfection, risking their blowdrys for a chance to attend the ultra-exclusive catwalk. 

Unfortunately things went pear-shaped shortly after the show commenced, with a sudden downpour leaving the models and guests scrambling to shield themselves with whatever object they could find. 

'Celebrities in the front row were absolutely panicking. The second the drizzle started, it became a full-blown frenzy,' one insider told Daily Mail Australia. 

'Some people laughed and they were using a Carla Zampatti flyer to protect them, umbrellas were flying up, and everyone was desperately trying to shield their outfits.' 

Among those caught in the deluge was , whose toyboy boyfriend Grayson Te Moana was seen attempting to shield her hair from the water with his jacket. 

According to one source who was in attendance, Grayson's attempt at chivalry backfired as his jacket ended up making things worse. 

Tammy also enlisted other guests to help fix her hair extensions, which had become visibly bedraggled. 

Showpo founder Jane Lu was seen sitting front row with a leather jacket draped over her freshly-styled hairdo. 

Elsewhere, Married At First Sight star Carina Mirabile was spotted further back in the crowd, squinting as she attempted to watch the show through the downpour.

Influencer Jadé Brycki, who had spent hours getting ready for the high-profile event, meanwhile shared a video of herself reacting to the weather, telling her fans: 'Everyone's freaking out!'

'It's a fashion catastrophe!' she despaired. 

Fellow influencer Sopha Dopha aka Sophia Begg also turned heads with her dramatic antics during the torrent, frantically trying to cover her hair, outfit and makeup.

She was left scowling for the rest of the show.
