Tammy Hembrow is reportedly gearing up for a jaw-dropping appearance at this year’s Brownlow Medal, that could rival Bec Judd’s unforgettable red dress moment from 2004.
The fitness mogul and social media sensation, 30, is said to be in talks with high-profile designers to secure a show-stopping gown for footy’s night of nights on September 22 at Crown in Melbourne.
It comes amid her blossoming romance with Geelong Cats’ star midfielder Bailey Smith, 24, who has enjoyed a standout season since his shift to the engine room.
‘Tammy is smart, she knows what she’s doing,’ a source told The Herald Sun, suggesting her potential appearance is nothing short of a calculated power move.
The couple were first linked earlier this month when they were spotted enjoying a romantic date at Burleigh’s celebrity hotspot Rick Shores on August 9.
Days later, the pair were seen walking arm-in-arm on the Gold Coast, fuelling further speculation.

The social media queen added fuel to the fire by sharing a TikTok wearing what appeared to be Bailey’s grey Adidas jacket – a subtle nod to their budding romance.
In another emotional post, Tammy uploaded a montage of herself crying through past hardships, hinting at her desire for a new chapter.
Insiders say Tammy may enlist celebrity stylist and close friend Paul Versace to craft her red carpet look – a go-to fashion figure for Brownlow WAGs.
If she does, fashion watchers predict she could deliver one of the biggest red carpet moments in Brownlow history.
‘She’s bristling after her ex Matt Zukowski claimed he was the one who ended their relationship,’ the source added.
‘Making a splash at the Brownlow with Bailey would be the ultimate comeback.’
Zukowski, who starred on Love Island Australia, made headlines recently after declaring it was his decision to end their whirlwind romance earlier this year.
The potential red carpet debut with Bailey would mark the biggest WAG arrival since Brynne Edelsten stunned the nation by stepping out with her late husband Geoffrey Edelsten at the 2014 ceremony.
The AFL star has found himself at the centre of a media frenzy following reports of a blossoming romance with the fitness influencer and mother-of-three.

The pair were spotted enjoying their second beach date on Friday, this time taking a romantic stroll down Nobby’s Beach on the Gold Coast.
In footage shared by Instagram gossip page Influencer Updates AU, Smith was seen with his arm draped around Tammy’s waist as they sipped coffee and wandered along the sand.
The duo reportedly arrived together in Tammy’s car and later left with Bailey behind the wheel.
Tammy later posted a snap from the beach to her Instagram Stories, wearing the same grey tank and denim shorts seen in the paparazzi video.
Meanwhile, Bailey had been seen earlier that day in Melbourne sporting the same black tracksuit he wore during the date.
It’s understood the visit was brief, with the footy player returning to Melbourne before flying to Sydney for Sunday’s match.
Daily Mail exclusively revealed Bailey and Tammy were seen together on a date on the Gold Coast, kissing and sharing lunch at a waterfront restaurant.
Their budding relationship comes just two months after Tammy’s split from ex-husband Matt Zukowski, and it’s already stirred up major controversy online.
