Daily Mail​15-07-2025
turned heads on Tuesday night, but perhaps not for the reasons she'd hoped.
The Aussie model, who won Miss World Australia in 2013, attended the Fantastic Four: First Steps premiere in Sydney, which saw Hollywood heavyweights Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby and Joseph Quinn take to the blue carpet.
However, the 36-year-old's outfit of choice sent tongues wagging at the glitzy event.
A lady in red, Erin put on a leggy display in a tiny cherry-coloured frock, designed by Aussie brand Khirzad Femme.
Over the dress, she bizarrely layered a cropped blazer, which boasted large shoulder pads and sleeves that were so long, they hid her hands completely.

She matched the eye-catching ensemble with a red purse and a metallic pair of sky-high heels.
Erin wore her signature brunette locks in waves across one shoulder and opted for rosy cheeks and a matching pink lip for the occasion.
Beloved A-lister Pedro wowed as he arrived for the Sydney premiere of his new film while looking dapper in a sheer shirt.
The 50-year-old American actor, also known for his roles in The Last of Us and The Mandalorian, posed alongside his co-stars while promoting their new Marvel movie.
Turning heads in a chic but classic ensemble, Pedro chose a well-tailored white shirt in a semi-sheer fabric, with panels at the front, worn partially unbuttoned.
The star added a pair of black trousers with flared hems and leather dress shoes, as well as reading glasses.
Pedro laughed and larked about with his co-stars as the foursome hammed it up in front of the media wall.
Vanessa, 37, was showing off her baby bump in a sheer black dress that had exaggerated, textured bell sleeves.
The heavily pregnant Crown actress added a crop top under her see-through gown, which also featured solid black skirting.
She completed the look with see-through black high heels, as well as adding a number of chunky rings and earrings for accessories.
Vanessa chose a clean and peachy make-up look with a pale coral lipstick and slicked her blonde hair off her face into a low ponytail.
Joseph, 31, who rose to international fame playing Eddie Munson in Stranger Things, was on trend in a navy blue ensemble.
The British actor wore a royal blue satin shirt underneath his well-fitted suit, to which he added patent dress shoes.
Ebon Moss-Bachrach, who plays The Thing in the upcoming film, opted for slate tones for his suit.
The American actor, 48, added a dark shirt under his fashionable blazer, and was seen giggling with his co-stars as they posed on the blue carpet at the event.
The four stars of the hotly-anticipated comic book adaptation were seen arriving in Australia this weekend ahead of the premiere.

The film marks the latest reboot of Marvel's iconic superhero team and is one of the studio's most anticipated releases in years.
In February, Marvel fans were delighted to see the first-look trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
They took to social media to give their opinions on the latest instalment of the superhero franchise, with one person writing on X: 'Okay the Fantastic Four trailer wasn't bad. I'm pleasantly surprised.'
Another added: 'I'm not even a Fantastic Four fan, but this looks really sleek. It's nailing the period setting in the same way that First Avenger did.'
Someone else weighed in: 'Watched the Fantastic Four trailer and I actually am excited for a Marvel movie again.'
And another social media user described the Fantastic Four comic series as 'the only ones I've been able to stomach,' adding, 'The trailer looks so great. I need this.'
'I've felt a little burnt out on superheroes but Fantastic Four are my ride or die,' one fan revealed. 'I'm so happy the movie looks good.'
Others praised the teaser for its 'nostalgic' feel and for looking 'very cinematic.'

‘Fantastic Four: First Steps' scores Marvel's first $100 million box office opening of 2025

Marvel's first family has finally found box office gold. 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps,' the first film about the superheroes made under the guidance of Kevin Feige and the Walt Disney Co., earned $118 million in its first weekend in 4,125 North American theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday. That makes it the fourth biggest opening of the year, behind 'A Minecraft Movie,' 'Lilo & Stitch' and 'Superman,' and the biggest Marvel opening since 'Deadpool & Wolverine' grossed $211 million out of the gate last summer. Internationally, 'Fantastic Four' made $100 million from 52 territories, adding up to a $218 million worldwide debut. The numbers were within the range the studio was expecting. The film arrived in the wake of another big superhero reboot, James Gunn's 'Superman,' which opened three weekends ago and has already crossed $500 million globally. That film, from the other main player in comic book films, DC Studios, took second place with $24.9 million domestically. 'First Steps' is the latest attempt at bringing the superhuman family to the big screen, following lackluster performances for other versions. The film, based on the original Marvel comics, is set during the 1960s in a retro-futuristic world led by the Fantastic Four, a family of astronauts-turned-superhuman from exposure to cosmic rays during a space mission. The family is made up of Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), who can stretch his body to incredible lengths; Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), who can render herself invisible; Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn), who transforms into a fiery human torch; and Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), who possesses tremendous superhuman strength with his stone-like flesh. The movie takes place four years after the family gained powers, during which Reed's inventions have transformed technology, and Sue's diplomacy has led to global peace. Both audiences and critics responded positively to the film, which currently has an 88% on Rotten Tomatoes and promising exit poll responses from opening weekend ticket buyers. An estimated 46% of audiences chose to see it on premium screens, including IMAX and other large formats. The once towering Marvel is working to rebuild audience enthusiasm for its films and characters. Its two previous offerings this year did not reach the cosmic box office heights of 'Deadpool & Wolverine," which made over $1.3 billion, or those of the 'Avengers'-era. But critically, the films have been on an upswing since the poorly reviewed 'Captain America: Brave New World,' which ultimately grossed $415 million worldwide. ' Thunderbolts," which jumpstarted the summer movie season, was better received critically but financially is capping out at just over $382 million globally. Like Deadpool and Wolverine, the Fantastic Four characters had been under the banner of 20th Century Fox for years. The studio produced two critically loathed, but decently profitable attempts in the mid-2000s with future Captain America Chris Evans as the Human Torch. In 2015, it tried again (unsuccessfully) with Michael B. Jordan and Miles Teller. They got another chance after Disney's $71 billion acquisition of Fox's entertainment assets in 2019. Top 10 movies by domestic box office With final domestic figures being released Monday, this list factors in the estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore: 1. 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps,' $118 million. 2. 'Superman,' $24.9 million. 3. 'Jurassic World Rebirth,' $13 million. 4. 'F1: The Movie,' $6.2 million. 5. 'Smurfs,' $5.4 million. 6. 'I Know What You Did Last Summer,' $5.1 million. 7. 'How to Train Your Dragon,' $2.8 million. 8. 'Eddington,' $1.7 million. 9. 'Saiyaara,' $1.3 million. 10. 'Oh, Hi!,' $1.1 million.

The moment I knew: he arranged a stay at a motel. In 1969 this was very risque, but I had zero hesitation

I grew up in the bush, and in 1966, as soon as I was old enough, I ran off and joined the navy. I loved the job and was having a ball. Three years in I was offered a rare opportunity to train for a top-secret role at a base in Queensland. Me and the two other girls were to be deployed to Singapore 12 weeks later. That was before my radio broke down. One afternoon, midway through my stay in Queensland, I had some issues with my electronics and called for a technician. I'd expected to get my radio repaired and get on with the day, but then the most gorgeous guy I'd ever seen walked right in and changed the course of my life. John was as cool as a cucumber as he got to work and I was struck dumb, just in awe of this incredibly handsome man. I didn't know how I was going to get him to notice me, but I was determined. A few days later there was a social evening at the base. It was casino themed and I spent the night following John around, making sure I was always in his eyeline. It wasn't the most sophisticated tactic, but it worked. By the end of the evening he'd asked me out. Our first date was seeing Johnny (as he was then) Farnham sing at Lennon's hotel in Toowoomba and it was perfect. We stole as many nights out together as we could over the next six weeks and I was going more and more gaga by the day. As my time at the base came to an end I still wasn't sure if John was as swept away by our romance as me. He always played it so cool. As we approached my last night, he arranged a getaway at Noosa to go surfing together and a stay at a motel. In 1969 this was very risque, but I had zero hesitation. Somewhere in the middle of the night he asked casually: 'What would you say if I asked you to marry me?' If this was a hypothetical question, he had no hope of getting out of it. I flew right off the bed, jumped on top of him and yelled at the top of my lungs: 'Yes, yes, yes!' I didn't give it a second thought. We set the wedding date for October – just a few months later – and I had to request a discharge from the forces; back then women couldn't serve if they were married. The whole time I was back down south John wrote me letters – 30 in all. I still have them. They were so full of love and adoration and excitement about the future we were going to have together. It was like living in a dream. Then it was time for him to drive the 1,700-odd kilometres to Menindee, where I was from – a tiny, one-horse town on the Darling River and 100km out of Broken Hill. As his little red Datsun came up the dirt road, my stomach lurched. For the briefest second I was seized by uncertainty. I couldn't even remember how tall he was. But the moment he stepped out of the car, I fell into his arms and those worries dissolved. The love I felt for him was so overwhelming. I knew this was going to be the best thing that ever happened to me. I was so smitten with John, there's no doubt we rushed into things. We really knew nothing about each other. It turns out we're exact opposites, but are such a wonderful foil for each other's personalities. I think my lively nature has kept him interested all these years, while his calmness has kept me grounded. Our first child lived for just half an hour, and while it isn't always the case, that terrible time really brought us closer together. When our son and daughter arrived safely in the coming years, I felt like the luckiest mum in the world. At a time when not all husbands were so supportive, John encouraged my desire to study to become a teacher. And just like always, once I knew he had faith in me, I felt I could do anything. To this day I wonder about how I knew, or if it was just amazing luck. But either way I've been married to the love of my life for over 55 years, so my instincts weren't bad. He's still just as gorgeous to me today as he was that afternoon in 1969. Being with John has always felt to me like living under a lucky star – everything seems to work out just how it's supposed to. Do you have a romantic realisation you'd like to share?

MasterChef Australia viewers shocked by Julie Goodwin's dramatic weight loss as she returns to the show for brutal elimination challenge that saw fan favourite in tears after being sent home

Julie Goodwin returned to MasterChef Australia on Sunday night. The chef, who won the 2009 season, make a guest appearance in the Back To Win series to present the contestants with an elimination challenge. And fans tuning in were shocked by how different the 54-year-old looks after her dramatic weight loss. Several people posted to X to share their thoughts as the episode aired. 'That's quite some glow up for Julie,' said one person with another agreeing, 'I can't believe how Julie looks.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Wow I can't believe how thin Julie is. She looks good, but I think the drop in weight makes her look older also,' another posted. 'Pulled pork isn't the only thing Julie Goodwin's been shredding huh?' joked someone else. 'Wow I hardly recognised Julie!' one said with yet another chiming in, 'Julie looks good!' Viewers were in uproar over the night's elimination, however, with beloved contestant Sarah Todd sent home after her undercooked pork belly failed to impress. Sarah, who made headlines for her romance with fellow contestant Declan Cleary, who was also eliminated earlier this month, broke down in tears as she explained she was grateful for her time in the high-pressure kitchen. 'I'm absolutely proud of everything I've done this time around in the kitchen,' she said. 'It's been really fun to push myself and experiment and create the next version of me,' she continued. 'I'm very grateful for MasterChef. It's given me a really beautiful life. And I'm excited. I'm excited for what's about to come. 'That's quite some glow up for Julie,' said one person with another agreeing, 'I can't believe how Julie looks.' Julie first appeared on MasterChef Australia in 2009 (right) Julie's exciting announcement comes just days after she issued a statement defending her weight loss after fans raised concerns about her health. Julie shared an update on Instagram after a new photo, in which she looked very slim, was posted to her account. Her dramatic transformation led to comments from worried followers. 'Thanks to all who have expressed concern about my health,' she began. 'I am well and I am within the healthy weight range. My doctor concurs,' she continued. 'For those who have asked me for advice or tips, I am not qualified to provide this. It's advice that should be sought from your trusted health professionals, not from me. I'm a TV cook,' Julie continued. 'For those who want to comment on the shape and condition of my body please, do it on your own page because I'm tired of reading it. For that reason I'll be turning off comments on this post. 'For all of us can we please find something more interesting to talk about. Can we please model kindness to our kids and grandkids and can we please leave this obsession with people's looks back in the 1980s. Peace and love.' The celebrity cookbook author shot to national fame after winning the inaugural season of Network Ten's MasterChef Australia in 2009.
