They became the unlikely besties who stole hearts on this year’s explosive season of Married At First Sight Australia.
And on Saturday night, Jamie Marinos and Awhina Rutene turned heads for all the right – and wrong – reasons as they reunited in Sydney for a star-studded Showpo soirée ahead of the MAFS reunion airing on screens.
The reality TV brides looked closer than ever as they posed up a storm at the exclusive influencer bash, hosted by fashion powerhouse and Showpo CEO Jane Lu, before heading off to watch Dua Lipa’s sold-out concert from VIP seats.
Jamie, 28, almost suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction on the night, with the Melbourne marketing manager leaving little to the imagination in an extremely revealing yellow mini dress.
The blonde bombshell dared to bare in the plunging chiffon frock, which featured a dangerously low cowl neckline and sheer skirt detailing.
The flimsy halter-neck design struggled to contain her ample assets, with Jamie caught clutching the front of her dress several times throughout the evening to avoid a full-blown nip slip.

She finished her risqué look with clear Perspex heels and wore her platinum locks in a chic messy bun, letting her bronzed makeup and glossy lips take centre stage.
Joining her on the black carpet was her on-screen bestie Awhina, 31, who looked radiant in a bubblegum pink mini dress that hugged her enviable curves and showcased her toned pins.
The brunette beauty kept things simple, accessorising with nude heels and soft glam makeup while letting her long locks cascade past her shoulders.
The pair appeared in high spirits as they posed arm-in-arm, giggling and flashing big smiles for the cameras, clearly thrilled to be reunited after weeks apart.
Earlier in the day, Jamie and Awhina were spotted touching down at Sydney Airport, where they embraced excitedly in the arrivals terminal after jetting in from their respective hometowns.
The dynamic duo, who struck up an unbreakable bond during filming, kept it casual for their flight.
Awhina wore a cropped grey sweatshirt and matching grey shorts paired with Nike Dunks, while Jamie looked effortlessly cool in black leggings, a plunging top and cropped denim jacket.
A source told Daily Mail Australia the brides have remained ‘thick as thieves’ since filming wrapped, even amid the chaos and catfights that unfolded at the MAFS reunion taping.

‘Jamie and Awhina became inseparable after filming. They’re genuinely best friends and had been counting down to this night for weeks,’ an insider spilled.
‘Awhina actually scolded the whole group for not sticking up for me. She’s such a genuine friend,’ Jamie gushed about Awhina to Daily Mail Australia last month
Awhina was notably one of the only girls who stood by Jamie during her time on the show, and was one of the only brides there for her during her tough time at the couple’s retreat.
‘Awhina actually scolded the whole group for not sticking up for me. She’s such a genuine friend,’ Jamie gushed about Awhina to Daily Mail Australia last month.
‘I was so distraught I couldn’t even leave my room, and Jacqui (Burfoot), Adrian (Araouzou), and Awhina all visited me [after the retreat blowup].’
