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.

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.

The film marks the latest reboot of Marvel's iconic superhero team and is one of the studio's most anticipated releases in years.

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.'

Vanessa Kirby leaves Fantastic Four fans bemused as she affectionately strokes co-star Pedro Pascal's face in latest intimate gesture

Vanessa Kirby sparked inevitable confusion on Thursday by affectionately stroking Pedro Pascal 's face during a new interview on behalf of their latest film. The co-stars have been on a press run in recent months on behalf of new film Fantastic Four: First Steps, in which they play married couple Reed Richards and Sue Storm. And spending time together has seemingly brought th pair closer, with Vanessa, 38, and Pedro, 50, spotted showing each other support in public on a number of occasions. The latest example of such affection occurred during an interview with Buzzfeed this week, where the actress, clad in a blue dress, moved her arm around Pedro and began stroking his beard. It's far from the first time the film stars have displayed their strong friendship, with the duo again appearing almost peculiarly close as they answered questions for Heart this week. And just a couple of weeks ago during Fantastic Four's premiere in Los Angeles, Pedro was pictured stroking his co-star's baby bump as they posed up a storm on the red carpet. The very public displays of affection have however sparked discourse on social media, with some eagle-eyed fans branding their relationship slightly 'weird'. But other supporters were quick to point out that Vanessa is merely trying to ease Pedro's anxiety. One wrote: 'Guys calm down. Pedro suffers from some type of anxiety disorder. He needs to touch or be touched by people to make him calm down and feel comfortable.' It's something Vanessa and Pedro have been open about, with the actress speaking about helping her pal through anxious moments in an interview last year. Talking after they were spotted holding hands on-stage at San Diego Comic-Con last year, Vanessa told Vanity Fair: 'What happened is we were both incredibly nervous going out in front of thousands of people who love this comic. 'He wanted me to know that we were in this together, and I found it a lovely gesture and was very glad to squeeze his hand back.' The Gladiator 2 star has indeed been candid about his struggles with anxiety throughout his career. During a chat with Men's Health last month, Pedro revealed exactly how he copes with anxiety in difficult moments. 'I noticed, especially during the period of summer 2020, and kind of isolation and how long my FaceTimes were and my phone conversations, that I had started to make an effort to engage more, having previously lost that options in many ways,' he said. 'I remember back in high school I was always such a good talker with friends... and then I don't know how many days had gone by where we stopped doing that. 'It's something I've held onto very much. I was always one to reach out when I'm facing something that is challenging or making me anxious.' Vanessa and Pedro's latest endeavour together, Fantastic Four: First Steps, released on Thursday. It's the 37th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the second reboot of the Fantastic Four film series. Directed by Matt Shakman, the movie sees the Fantastic Four protect their 1960s-inspired retro-futuristic world from the planet-devouring cosmic being Galactus. Leading lady Vanessa, who stars alongside Ozark actress Julia Garner, has looked every inch the glowing mum-to-be at the film's many premieres during recent weeks. In particular. at the German premiere last month she looked effortlessly stylish while displaying her baby bump in a sleek black dress. She teamed her fashionable, high-necked gown with towering black heels and dazzling silver drop earrings. Vanessa first revealed she was pregnant with her child last month as she showed off her bump at The Fantastic Four photocall in Mexico. Last December it was reported she was engaged to her boyfriend Paul Rabil after two years together. The beauty, who starred as Princess Margaret in Netflix's The Crown, was allegedly set to head down the aisle with lacrosse player love, 39, after he popped the question, according to Page Six. MailOnline contacted representatives of Paul and Vanessa for comment. Vanessa and Paul first sparked dating rumours walking hand-in-hand through New York City in October 2022. However, they didn't make their romance Instagram official until November 2023. At the time, American Paul - who is the co-founder of the Premier Lacrosse League - shared a series of photographs of the couple including one of them embracing on a beach. 'From the very minute we first met in Des Moines, around the world and back, life is far better, more purposeful and more beautiful with you,' he wrote about the film star. The couple have been spotted on several occasions together since 2022, but had kept quiet about their blossoming romance.

How the ABC bungled a $4billion payday - as Aussie show among the biggest in the world makes major move

The ABC has been left red-faced after the UK channel that airs Bluey announced it is set to make even more money off one of Australia's most successful cultural exports. This week, the BBC revealed plans to transform Bluey into a full-fledged lifestyle brand, marking another major commercial leap for the animated juggernaut. Alongside the expansion of its already booming merchandise empire, a Bluey feature film is now in the works, set to be released in 2027 and distributed globally by Disney. In just 2024 alone, Bluey was the driving force behind a bumper $4billion in commercial profits for BBC Studios through global licensing, product deals, and themed experiences. That staggering haul is more than four times the annual budget of the ABC, which is funded by the federal government and Australian taxpayers. The ABC was among the original co-commissioners of Bluey, which first aired in 2018, but failed to secure any significant merchandising deals. Despite being developed and produced in Brisbane by Ludo Studio, most of the benefits of show's commercial success has flowed offshore. Since its debut, Bluey has become a global sensation, celebrated for its heartwarming storytelling, gentle humour, and uniquely Australian character. Bluey-branded merchandise ranges from plush toys and puzzles to camping gear, clothing, and even nappies. In 2024, a large-scale Bluey-themed attraction, Bluey's World, opened in Brisbane, and was recently named one of Time Magazine's 'World's Greatest Places' for 2025. In the same year, Bluey was the number one most viewed show in the United States, recording more than 55billion minutes of viewing time on Disney+. 'From a retail sales standpoint, we are generating about £2.7bn in global retail sales across our entire portfolio and Bluey is a really, really big chunk of that,' Suzy Raia, who heads global consumer products at BBC Studios, told The Guardian. Yet despite its deep Australian roots, the ABC has reaped little financial reward from Bluey's explosive global success. As reported by The Courier-Mail in February, the ABC made no attempt to secure merchandising rights during the show's early development. Then-managing director David Anderson was present at the meeting where Bluey was first pitched to the network. 'We don't make money out of Bluey,' Anderson told the ABC in 2023. 'What Bluey does is provide joy to children and families all over the country and now all over the world. And that would be priceless.' In 2024, ABC Chair Kim Williams addressed the Australian Press Club, warning of declining public funding for the broadcaster and calling for greater government support. Just a few months later in June, the ABC slashed at least 50 jobs in a round of budget cuts, under the new leadership of Managing Director Hugh Marks. Among the casualties was the long-running current affairs program Q&A, once a flagship forum for national political and cultural debate. In an email sent to ABC staff, Marks justified the changes were part of the ABC stepping back from 'areas that no longer align with our priorities'.

Love Island beauty grows close to former villa runner-up just days after being savagely dumped

A LOVE Island beauty has been growing close to a former villa runner-up just days after being savagely dumped. Welsh beauty Emily Moran, 24, who hails from Aberdare but was living in Australia before her TV stint, was dumped from the villa after Tommy Bradley brought back a blonde bombshell from Casa Amor. 4 4 But since leaving the villa, things seem to be on the up for her - personally and professionally. Fans recently noticed how she and a former Love Island hunk Ciaran Davies, 22, has been supporting Emily since her villa departure. Ciaran was coupled up with Nicole Samuel in last year's series, with the pair parting ways a few months later. The Sun can now reveal that there is a spark of sorts between Emily and fellow Welsh Love Island star Ciaran, with them having connected recently. A source exclusively told The Sun: "Ciaran initially approached Emily when she left the show just to congratulate her and stuff on how she was and handled herself on the show towards the end, which got them to talking. "Both have been getting to know each other on a more romantic level and they're looking to see how things go." The source added how at the moment since coming out of the villa, Emily is "taking every opportunity she can" especially with brand deals. They noted that Ciaran "is absolutely fine" with her focusing on getting brand deals and making a name for herself "because that's what everyone does when they get out". The source continued: "Emily has no intention of moving back to Australia as of yet as she's focused on her work and recent brand deals here in the UK. "But maybe who's to say that something romantically might also sway her decision to stay in the UK. Axed Love Island star Megan takes swipe at Conor for 'lipsing every girl' after telling her to 'wait for him' "Apparently she has something big on the horizon with some brand." This revelation comes after fans predicted a possible romance between the two fellow Welsh stars. "Okay hear me out…" said one person on Reddit earlier this week. They added: "Thoughts on Ciaran (S11) and Emily? I've noticed him commenting on her pictures and supporting her in general since she came on the show (presumably because she's also Welsh). EVERY year Love Island opens its doors to more sexy Islanders who are hoping for a holiday romance that could turn into more. Here we take you through all of the Love Island winners so far and what their relationship statuses are now: 2025 - The second series of All Stars saw Gabby Allen and Case O'Gorman scoop the crown. STATUS: Still together. 2024 - The summer Love Island saw Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan were crowned the winners. STATUS: Broken up. 2024 - The first ever All stars spin off show was won by Molly Smith and Tom Clare. STATUS: Still together. 2023 - Jess Harding and Sammy Root took home the 50k, and won the summer 2023 Love Island. STATUS: Broken up. 2023 - The first series of 2023 saw Sanam Harrinanan and Kai Fagan crowned Love Island winners in South Africa. STATUS: Still together. 2022 - Davide Sanclimenti and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu's time in the villa was anything but a smooth ride, but they managed to win the public's hearts - and the ITV2 reality show. STATUS: Broken up. 2021 - Liam Reardon and Millie Court were announced winners of Love Island 2021. STATUS: Still together. 2020 - The first ever winter Love Island saw Paige Turley and Finn Tapp crowned winners after falling in love on the show. STATUS: Broken up. 2019 - Series 5 saw Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague runners up to winners Greg O'Shea and Amber Gill, who met in the last few days of the series. STATUS: Broken up. 2018 - It wasn't surprising fan favourites Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer won the show, as they were strong throughout. But sadly things didn't last. STATUS: Broken up. 2017 - Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies had lots of ups and downs in the villa but went on to win. STATUS: Broken up. 2016 - Nathan Massey and Cara De La Hoyde were together from the start of the series, and since they won the show they've had two kids and are married. STATUS: Still together. 2015 - Despite poor Jess Hayes being Max Morley's second choice on the show, they did win - but they didn't last as a couple. STATUS: Broken up. "I just think they would look absolutely gorgeous together." Someone then commented: "I co-sign! Hopefully they can meet up soon." While another said: "They both seem like the loyal tunnel vision type except falling for the wrong person. Maybe they would be perfect together. Also physically they would be hotter than all the other couples they have been in. So I ship it." And a third penned: "I could see it." Emily was dumped from Love Island earlier this month after Tommy arrived back in the main Villa with Lucy, who he had gotten to know during Casa Amor. Before Casa, Emily and Tommy had been building a connection following his former flame Megan deciding to get to know Conor before she was dumped. Although, now Megan has made a comeback to the villa, could she rekindle things with Conor?
