Only a ‘select group’ invited to Australian Fashion Week 2024 as ‘Married At First Sight’ stars are ‘blacklisted’ from shows

Only a ‘select group’ of reality stars will attend 2024 Australian Fashion Week next week, with the rest blacklisted to protect the event’s reputation.

Just a handful of brides from this year’s season of Married At First Sight have been invited, after previous years saw a deluge of fame-hungry participants flock to Sydney’s Carriageworks venue.

Eden Harper, Lauren Dunn and Sara Mesa are among the lucky few invited.

Jade Pywell, Madeline Maxwell and groom Tristan Black are also confirmed to attend several shows and after parties.

These VIPs will be rubbing shoulders with Australia’s fashion elite, who get to sit in the first two rows at all the runway presentations.

Industry stories have told Daily Mail this year designers are taking caution and want nothing to do with ‘fame hungry MAFS stars desperate to be seen at fashion week.’

‘You won’t see the likes of Tori and Jack front row at any of our shows,’ said one source.

Fans expecting to see ‘cheaters’ Ellie Dix and Jono McCullough, Ben Walters or Collins Christian will also be disappointed.

Perth-based bride Lauren Dunn and Sara Mesa were among the few brides to make the list

‘This year’s cast have really struggled to gain any traction and it’s such a massive gamble to bank on any of them to be honest.’

With only an elite group of glamorous and well-edited MAFS stars attending Fashion Week this year, the rest of the cast is said to be ‘feeling the FOMO’.

For 27 years, fashion leaders and international stars were snapped alongside the runway – but now it’s been taken over by reality stars and micro-influencers crowding the shows and the coveted front row.

Top fashionistas were nowhere to be seen on the first two days of the 2023 event.

‘It girl’ and front row regular Nadia Fairfax-Wayne, Bondi influencer Elle Ferguson, and celebrity stylist Elliot Garnaut notable were all no-shows.

And while the Kardashians, Paris Hilton and Bella Hadid have been seen along the runway in recent years, don’t expect them to show up again.

Married At First Sight star Tim Caldwell makes his relationship public on Instagram with his Brazilian girlfriend Barbara following his breakup with TV bride Sara Mesa

Married At First Sight’s Tim Calwell has finally gone Instagram official with his Brazilian bombshell girlfriend Barbara after his split with his TV bride Sara Mesa.

The 32-year-old Gold Coast business owner couldn’t wipe the smile off his face as he posed for a series of loved-up photos with his glamorous partner.

While Tim is yet to share photos on his own Instagram page, which is still in control of Channel Nine, Daily Mail Australia can reveal Barbara has been flaunting their romance on her private account.

Earlier this month, the brunette beauty shared a sweet tribute to Tim for his 32nd birthday.

‘Bday boy Appreciation post for this handsome man who makes me happy every day!’ she captioned the post.

Tim and Barbara met in February, just weeks after his ill-fated marriage with Sydney-based nutritionist Sara went to air.

Not long after, the pair were spotted buying some takeaway food and drinks before heading to a nursery to buy some plants.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, Tim adamantly denied cheating on his TV bride and insisted he only began to pursue his relationship with Barbara after splitting with Sara.

‘No I wasn’t seeing anyone through the experiment. I was literally locked in, dialled in, trying to make our relationship work,’ he explained at the time.

‘I don’t know why, if she’s bringing that up… she’s trying to throw heat on my end to try and distract, maybe, from whatever going on in her ballpark.’

Tim described his TV marriage with Sara as ‘toxic’ and very up and down.

‘It was definitely very up and down. Almost toxic at this point, I don’t know,’ he said.

‘We were trying our best to be in a relationship. The whole experience is very intense anyway… it was definitely wasn’t comfortable for me.’

He also referred to a dinner party blow-up where he claimed Sara had cancelled dates with him on three occasions and she responded furiously.

‘I think her bailing on the dates was more of a catalyst for the other things that were going on behind the scenes,’ he said.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, Tim adamantly denied cheating on his TV bride and insisted he only began to pursue his relationship with Barbara after splitting with Sara

‘I was getting really frustrated by being spoken over and talked down to.

‘My feelings and my opinions were just being thrown back in my face and it just felt like nothing I had to say was valid.’

Tim admitted his frustration may not have entirely come from the cancelled dates.

‘It’s more of a catalyst of my frustrations of being put down over the course of the three weeks or however long it was,’ he said.

Married At First Sight stars spill their secrets during a thrilling ride with Daily Mail Australia reporter ALI DAHER for the fourth consecutive year

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I’d be a chauffeur for reality TV stars, but last year I once again became the unofficial Uber driver of the Married At First Sight gang.

I became the preferred mode of transport for this wild bunch, zooming around Sydney with a car full of love-seekers and attention-seekers during filming for the Channel Nine show.

I would liken my adventures as their personal driver to an episode of Days Of Their Lives.

It was a rollercoaster of drama, from airport pick-ups to beach day drop-offs and nocturnal escapades.

And yes, my dashcam captured many things, helping me create my very own version of MAFS uncut.

This year, a record 17 stars, including fan-favourites and villains, crammed into my trusty Toyota, transforming it into a mobile confessional booth.

Lauren Dunn, Sara Mesa, and Jonathan McCullough among others, all shared their deepest, darkest secrets.

Here’s a glimpse of what unfolded during my unforgettable encounters with the MAFS stars.

MAFS’ ‘most mature groom’ Richard was the first cast member to hitch a ride just weeks until filming

Richard

MAFS’ ‘most mature groom’ Richard was the first cast member to hitch a ride just weeks until filming.

It was a hot day, and the 62-year-old couldn’t figure out where to catch replacement buses after the local train station was shut down due to trackwork.

He was funny, and incredibly grateful – I was quite surprised.

It was a short ride to Tamarama Beach where I took a few cheeky photos of him taking a dip in the ocean before I decided to race back to Skye Suites in the hopes of catching more exciting action.

Jayden and Eden were inseparable as they hopped in my car alongside Jono and Tim, who confessed they were pretty stoked to get away from their TV wives

Jayden and Eden were inseparable as they hopped in my car alongside Jono and Tim, who confessed they were pretty stoked to get away from their TV wives.

Jono, the drama king, vented about Laura’s weekend plans without him, sparking group banter that made the ride anything but dull.

I asked the group if they didn’t mind me sticking around to take some photos of them and they jumped at the chance.

After few hours soaking up the sun at Clovelly Beach we went to a nearby café for a bite to eat before I dropped the boys at the local cinemas and, surprisingly, Eden back at the hotel alone

After a few hours soaking up the sun at Clovelly Beach, we went to a nearby café for a bite to eat before I dropped the boys at the local cinemas and, surprisingly, Eden back at the hotel alone.

Eden had her suspicions about me, keeping her guard up when it came to questions about her marriage to Jayden.

Looking back at it, it could have been the beginning of the end for the pair, who announced their split this week.

There was one particularly funny moment when Lauren was left none too impressed to sit next to my spare tyre in the backseat.

Jono’s biggest regret – and it’s not going on the show

The groom I was the closest to was Jono McCullough, who revealed his post-breakup blues following his split with Laura.

He sought solace in my passenger seat, lamenting not his lost love but his botched game strategy.

Jono and Ellie were happy to hitch a ride as they jet back to Sydney earlier this month

Just hours after getting dumped by Lauren at Final Vows, I got a text from him asking if I wanted to catch up before he flew back home to the Gold Coast.

He confessed he was worried about his edit after all the things that went down between him and Lauren and admitted that he blocked her.

‘MAFS is a crazy game. Some people play it really well, but I didn’t play it well and Lauren played it very f**king well,’ he said before we exchanged goodbyes.

Tristan’s review of ‘Ali’s Uber’ was unforgiving

Tristan gives brutal feedback after noticing dash cam

And how could I forget Tristan’s unforgettable ‘review’ of my esteemed taxi service?

The moment he clocked the dashcam, Tristan transformed into an impromptu critic, offering his unfiltered thoughts with the panache of a seasoned stand-up comedian.

‘Hey, we’re filming in this. Oh, no way. I was in my own little world for a bit,’ he said.

But Tristan was just warming up.

The groom I the closest to was Jono McCullough, who revealed his post-breakup blues following his split with Laura

‘Hero’s in the front, villains in the back,’ he quipped, casting a mischievous glance towards Jono and Ellie, who were unwittingly cast in the roles of backseat antagonists in Tristan’s spur-of-the-moment screenplay.

But Tristan wasn’t done. He then turned his attention to the amenities (or lack thereof) in ‘Ali’s Uber.’

‘Welcome to Ali’s Uber. It doesn’t supply the aux cord,’ he lamented.

‘There’s no water bottles here. What the f**k? I’ve got this spare two-day-old one, as I’m a diva now, Ali.’

He had everyone in stitches, underscoring the hilarity that ensued every time a MAFS star climbed into my car.

Sara Mesa and Tim Caldwell from Married At First Sight to make joint paid appearance at Melbourne club post-split, capitalizing on reality TV fame with co-star Tristan Black

Married At First Sight exes Sara Mesa and Tim Calwell are set to reunite at a Melbourne club night on Friday.

The reality TV stars had a turbulent relationship after being matched up on the dating experiment, but they walked away united at the Final Vows.

However, Sara, 30, confirmed their split after they became embroiled in a row at the reunion over comments Tim had made to Jono McCullough about their romance.

The pair, who are now on ‘very friendly’ terms, are both set to appear at Melbourne’s Mango Club on Friday night alongside their co-star Tristan Black.

The trio are cashing in on their TV fame with a paid appearance at the club night, with tickets on sale for $27.44 each.

Mango Club confirmed the MAFS stars’ appearance at the club night in a Facebook post ahead of the big event.

It read: ‘Just when you thought Melbourne’s No. 1 Friday night home couldn’t get any better, Mango Club presents your favourite & maybe not-so-favourite cast members of MAFS!

‘It’s time to let loose & party with reality TV stars TIM, SARA & TRISTAN this Friday!’

It comes after nutritionist Sara recently opened up on her split from Tim, 31, and told how they are on ‘very friendly’ terms despite going their separate ways.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, she also revealed her biggest regrets from her time on MAFS, admitting she is glad the show is over after watching herself on-screen.

‘I am so relieved. Yeah, obviously just really glad it’s over now,’ she explained.

‘I feel like reliving it a second time [in] a fairly different light, was a bit stressful so it’s nice to know like we’re done and can just move on from it now,’ she said.

When asked about her relationship with Tim after their split, she added: ‘Tim and I are on friendly terms.

‘We hadn’t really spoken post like the actual break-up, but we’re actually very friendly now.

‘We speak every day that [the show’s] on and discuss it, but yeah, it’s nice to know we can still be friends and share that experience together.

‘It’d be really sad to just leave it as if we didn’t speak again, that would be really sad.’

She also reflected back on her reunion row with Tim, after Jono revealed Tim had expressed doubts about their relationship after the Final Vows, shocking Sara.

‘Look, it was definitely really hard to hear. I think my anger and frustration came from Tim telling me the complete opposite stuff behind closed doors,’ she shared.

‘It was a kick in the gut because I feel like throughout the whole experience I’ve just wanted to feel safe and I wanted to feel like he’s had my back and we were on the same page.’

‘We’re definitely friends now, we are very amicable. It’s been good to be on good terms because we went through this crazy ride together,’ she added.

She further revealed that Tim’s constant indecisiveness led to the outcome.

‘It was a constant battle, he would tell me ‘I forgive you’ and then it would come out that he wasn’t 100 percent moving on,’ she said.

‘I was like we either do this or we don’t we just can’t keep rehashing things.’

Lauren Dunn engages in fiery exchange with Married At First Sight watchdog account in defense of Sara Mesa

A Married At First Sight watchdog account has leaked screenshots of an explosive argument with bride Lauren Dunn over a meme making fun of her best friend Sara Mesa.

On Monday, popular account Mafs.Bachie.Reality shared a clip to Instagram Stories of an elderly woman dancing around in her bikini at the beach, adding the caption: ‘Sara in 50 years’.

The video appeared to make fun of Sara, 29, who often shares social media videos of herself posing and dancing in skimpy clothing.

Incensed by the meme, Lauren, 32, privately messaged the account defending her bestie and demanding that they take the post down.

Mafs.Bachie.Reality has since shared screenshots of the volatile exchange, which begins with Lauren writing: ‘This is nasty and bullying. A woman bullying another woman for her looks isn’t cool.’

‘Pick on what you see her do on the show, but this is just too far,’ she added.

The anonymous account owner hit back, responding: ‘Stop trying to control us all’, presumably referring to other members of the media who have received similar complaints from Lauren.

‘We can post what we want. It’s not about her looks, it’s about her lame TikToks,’ the administrator added.

The user went on to claim it was hypocritical for Lauren to be outraged, considering she mocked groom Jack Dunkley for his appearance on the show.

The account owner then blocked Lauren, before adding a caption to the screenshots blasting the bride for running to Sara’s defense.

‘If there is something I wont f**king tolerate, it’s cast telling me what to do, especially when they are f**king hypocrites,’ they raged.

‘Lauren has been messaging me calling me nasty and telling me to delete Stories. F**k off Lauren, you are all so f**king entitled. Blocked,’ they concluded.

It comes after Sara was brutally attacked by her co-stars during Monday night’s wild Reunion Grand Finale.

The New South Wales nutritionist found herself on the defense after her scandalous rendezvous with an ex-boyfriend several weeks into the experiment while she was married to Tim Caldwell was once again brought back to light.

Fellow bride Cassandra Allen kicked off the verbal flaying, accusing Sara of being the biggest ‘liar’ in the group and who was just on the show to ‘play games’.

Sara hit back, accusing Cassandra of having a ‘vendetta’ against her, despite the pair never having ‘spoken two words outside of this conversation’.

At this point, fellow groom Michael Felix added his two cents and backed up Cassandra and took fire at Sara’s ‘character’.

When the nutrition coach said she couldn’t ‘understand why’ Cass was turning on her all of a sudden, Michael said: ‘The character that you’ve displayed. That’s why.’

Sara tried to tell him to ‘shut up’, but Michael, 34, continued: ‘What she said has been true. I saw right through you.

‘I came in at the beginning, I thought you were pretty cool, then I saw the real you and realised you’re s**t.’

Cass put the final nail in the coffin, saying: ‘You are not real. You are not authentic. You are the worst.’

Fans are puzzled by one major plot hole in explosive Married at First Sight reunion finale: ‘Did I miss a whole storyline?’

Married at First Sight fans were left baffled during Monday night’s finale when a massive catfight broke out between two brides and a groom.

Sara Mesa was brutally attacked by her co-stars Cassandra Allen and Michael Felix during the wild reunion after the blonde discussed her rocky relationship with husband Tim Caldwell and touched on her cheating scandal.

Cassandra interrupted Sara and accused her of being the biggest ‘liar’ in the group and only on the show to ‘play games’.

Viewers were confused over Cass’s decision to lash out at Sara.

‘I don’t get Cass on this. I’m someone who believes if people are truly remorseful they deserve a second chance. Maybe Cass doesn’t know how to forgive or she has a crush on Tim,’ one viewer suggested.

‘Did I fall asleep and miss a whole chunk of storyline where Cass and Michael (and Ellie?!) all f**king hate Sara? This is like a Christopher Nolan film trying to piece together all the parts,’ they commented.

‘I’d love to know what exactly it is Sara has done to make Cass and Michael react that way, cause it’s clear something has happened.’

Meanwhile, other fans were team Cass.

‘The way Sara is speaking to Cass right now screams mean girl. The talking down, the tone of voice. Everything. She is awful,’ they said.

Sara was seated on the couch with groom Tim in front of the relationship experts as they watched a recap of their tumultuous relationship.

The video ended on a hopeful note, with the pair declaring their love for one another during their Final Vows, but the other participants ‘saw right through’ it.

‘She just lies,’ Cass cut in when the clip came to an end, to which Sara responded: ‘That’s so f**king rude.’

Relationship expert John Aiken jumped in to get clarity, asking Cass why she has such a strong opinion about Sara.

Viewers were divided over Cass’s decision to lash out at Sara: ‘I don’t get Cass on this. I’m someone who believes if people are truly remorseful they deserve a second chance. Maybe Cass doesn’t know how to forgive or she has a crush on Tim,’ one suggested

‘Everything out of her mouth is a lie,’ Cass repeated. ‘She lies to make herself look better. There’s nothing honest about her.’

‘How would you know that? Do you know me?’ Sara snapped back.

Sara hit back at her fellow bride once more, but John, 53, jumped in again to say: ‘Cassandra, I have got to ask, what is it about Sara that gets under your skin?’

Meanwhile, other fans were team Cass: ‘The way Sara is speaking to Cass right now screams mean girl. The talking down, the tone of voice. Everything. She is awful’

‘She just lies. She is just fake. Everything out of her mouth is fake. You just lie. Every time I talk to you, you’re just the nastiest person,’ Cass said.

Sara then continued her verbal spray against Cass, accusing her of having a ‘vendetta’ against her, despite the pair never having ‘spoken two words outside of this conversation’.

Cass put the final nail in the coffin, saying: ‘You are not real. You are not authentic. You are the worst.’

With four couples leaving the show hand-in-hand, John said he was stunned to see Sara Mesa and Tim Calwell stick it out until the end.

‘I was very surprised with Sara and Tim because she went behind his back. Caught up with the ex who she had feelings for,’ he said.

John went on to say he believed Tim was ‘too forgiving’ of her actions, and revealed he didn’t think Sara could turn her behaviour around and own up to her betrayal.

‘She really did the heavy lifting, put him first, and repaired. I thought that was the most surprising part of the experiment,’ he added.

The other couple John believed wouldn’t make it to Final Vows were controversial pair Tori Adams and Jack Dunkley.

‘He was one of the guys who said some things that absolutely floored, not only the group, but the experts,’ he said, referring to the ‘muzzle your woman’ comments.

John revealed the experts were all expecting Tori to leave the experiment because Jack was ‘too toxic’, but were shocked to see her ‘defend him’ every week.

It comes just hours after it was reported the stars of MAFS are in hot water with Channel Nine after enjoying a boozy night in Sydney after filming the reunion.

Despite producers reportedly not wanting the cast at ‘gatherings’ before the final results of the show aired, Daily Mail Australia can reveal that a bevy of the show’s brides and grooms stepped out to celebrate Michael Felix’s birthday.

Lucinda Light, Cassandra Allen, Timothy Smith, Tristan Black, Eden Harper, Andrea Thompson, Stephen Stewart, Jade Pywell, Ash Galati and Natalie Parham were all in attendance.

Jonathan McCullough and fellow bride Ellie Dix also showed up.

There was no tension between Ellie and her jilted ex Ben, as they laughed off their ill-fated romance as he introduced the cast to his new German girlfriend, Aileen.

The cast had been placed at different hotels by producers in Sydney, so as to not ruin the ending prior the reunion which airs April 7 and 8 on Channel Nine.

The Gold Coast based personal trainer, 34, shared the bombshell during a rogue interview with Daily Mail Australia ahead of Sunday night’s reunion dinner party.

He claimed Lauren admitted to the cast that she had a fling in Bali not long before her on-screen nuptials with Jono McCullough and alleged she planned to pursue him after filming.

‘It was on camera, Lauren and Jono turned around and admitted to the group that they were in an arrangement throughout the entire experiment,’ Jack spilled.

‘Lauren did confirm that she was having a bit of a fling with a guy in Bali one week before she married Jono, and she wished to pursue him after the show.’

His revelation came amid reports in New Idea alleging that Lauren had fallen for the ‘perfect’ man in Bal in a fling which she disclosed to friends and even to Jono during filming.

‘In the beginning, Jono thought he could win Lauren over. But it seems like he had no chance if she was already hung up on somebody on the outside,’ the magazine claimed.

However, Lauren has firmly denounced the swirling rumours as completely unfounded.

‘It’s just a bit ridiculous. I didn’t have a Bali boyfriend,’ she staunchly told Daily Mail Australia.

She went on to acknowledge the romance in Bali, but told how she felt that her transparency about it had been used against her.

‘I told Jono at the very beginning of the experiment… I feel like me being honest about that has come back to blow up in my face later down the line,’ Lauren lamented.

Insider spills on Married At First Sight brides’ feud: Some co-stars couldn’t even be in the same room while getting ready for dinner parties

Married At First Sight’s Eden Harper sparked an all out war with Sara Mesa after she outed the cheating bride.

Daily Mail Australia can reveal that things at one point grew so tense that the two brides could not even share the same space while getting their hair done.

The conflict, which ignited over allegations of infidelity, saw the production team going to great lengths to keep Eden and Sara apart, scheduling their glam sessions in entirely separate locations.

‘Hairdressers and makeup artists were briefed on the situation and had to juggle schedules to accommodate the feud, ensuring Eden and Tori weren’t booked in around the same time as Sara and Lauren,’ claimed a source.

The discord between the brides was so palpable that even their regular beauty spot became a battleground.

After an uncomfortable encounter at the salon, both parties were forced to seek alternative venues.

However, the peace was short-lived.

‘Eden, along with Tori Adams and Jade Pywell, discovered the new location and followed Sara to get their hair done by Fatima Dayri and their makeup by Wally, escalating the tension further,’ the source disclosed.

‘Lauren was upset because Fatima and Wally looked after her first and was gushing about them to the other brides and they decided to go to them,’ dished an insider.

‘There was so much tension… They couldn’t be in the same room together, especially knowing it was dinner party day’.

‘Fatima and the girls were extremely welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure all the brides were comfortable’.

Fatima and her team were behind some of this year’s bride’s most iconic looks.

The Western Sydney-based hair stylist told Daily Mail Australia that while she couldn’t comment about their feud, it was ‘an absolute pleasure working with the girls’.

‘They were all so lovely and easy to get along with… my team and I had so much fun creating different styles for the show. We’ve gained lifelong friends, so very grateful to have had this opportunity. ‘

The drama kicked off after Eden outed Sara for secretly meeting up with her ex boyfriend behind her husband Tim’s back.

‘If Eden didn’t strongly believe that Sara was cheating on Tim she wouldn’t have said anything,’ an insider told Daily Mail Australia last month.

‘It was very presumptuous of Sara to think that Eden would was okay with her lying to her husband and cheat on him and that she would cover for her.’
