Radio’s biggest stars turned up the style at the ARN Upfronts 2025 at Sydney’s Star Casino on Wednesday – with Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson leading the celebrity arrivals.
The KIIS FM power duo, who are expanding their hit breakfast show to Perth in 2026, looked effortlessly coordinated in matching monochrome ensembles.
Kyle, 53, cut a casual figure in a quilted black vest, matching trousers and sneakers, while Jackie, 50, stunned in a belted charcoal midi-dress with statement shoulders and white pointed heels.
The pair were all smiles as they posed together on the purple carpet, celebrating the next phase of their national domination as ARN announced their top-rating show will launch in Perth next year.
Also turning heads at the event was sports presenter Abbey Gelmi, who exuded elegance in a powder-blue tailored pantsuit, teamed with sleek straight locks and nude heels.
She was joined by former The Project star Georgie Tunny, 34, who stood out in a vibrant red jumpsuit and coordinating green-accented platform shoes.

From breakfast radio icons to TV personalities and podcasters, the ARN Upfronts proved once again that Australia’s media elite know how to make a bold fashion statement.
It was revealed at the event that radio stars Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson are heading to Perth in 2026, after achieving significant success upon expanding to Melbourne last year.
Plans were revealed to expand Kyle and Jackie O into Perth as part of a major push to build a fully national entertainment brand.
In 2026, ARN KIIS and GOLD stations are set to go fully national, giving Kyle and Jackie O a new platform called KIIS DAB+.
ARN already has a commercial radio station in Perth, 96FM, and the rollout marks the broadcaster’s most ambitious expansion yet, with KIIS Perth joining Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide.
The move is set to consolidate KIIS as a fully national network and, for Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O, Perth represents uncharted territory that they are optimistic about.

It is currently unclear if the expansion will result in any job cuts to make room for Kyle and Jackie O.
Since debuting in Melbourne in 2024, the radio stars have been steadily building an audience in the capital city of Victoria.
In May, it was revealed that Kyle and Jackie had won over a significant Melbourne audience share, in the GfK survey two.
However, Lauren Joyce, ARN’s Chief Audience & Content Officer, said that ratings were only part of the picture they were focused on amid this expansion.
‘In 2026, ARN will deliver true national scale across two of the most recognisable media brands in the country,’ she said in a statement.
