Delta Goodrem reveals new wedding details from Malta ceremony and shows her fifth all-white outfit
On Thursday, Goodrem shared a carousel of photos from the intimate rehearsal dinner, revealing new details about her look.
The 40-year-old popstar married her longtime partner, musician Matthew Copley, in a lavish ceremony in Malta.
Earlier this month, Goodrem shared photos from the moment the couple said 'I do' at 12th century's St Paul's Cathedral in Mdina.
The new shots captured the loved-up couple at their rehearsal dinner.
In the Instagram post, Goodrem praised the team of people who helped create the look for the private family event.
The white dress, with a V-neck lace-back, was designed by Sydney-based fashion designer, Amanda Tasevski.
'Thank you for all your hard work and love!!,' Goodrem wrote.
The rehearsal gown is the fifth all-white dress the singer wore to celebrate her 'magical' wedding.
Her wedding day outfit was an off-the-shoulder, French tulle gown by fashion house Paolo Sebastian, which took months to create.
It featured a 2.5m-long train and matching cathedral-length veil.
The train also had the couple's wedding date embroidered into the fabric.
'We said I do under the Maltese skies in a family fairytale wedding brought to life by so many angels surrounding us,' Goodrem announced on July 10.
'We are holding on to every memory from that moment, the love, the laughter, the happy tears and dancing till the sun came up.
'We can't wait to come back to Australia and celebrate as Mr & Mrs.
'Love, Delta & Matthew xx.'
The pair first went public with their relationship on New Year's Eve in 2018, after posting a picture of themselves cuddled up on an outdoor lounger.
After almost a decade together, they were engaged in Malta in 2023.
Before the wedding day reveal, the couple had been notoriously private and Goodrem has very rarely spoken publicly about her relationship.
But in an interview with The Australian's Woman's Weekly in February, 2023, the singer gave a rare look inside their love story.
'He's my guitarist, I met him through music,' Goodrem said.
'It's incredible to be on stage with him because he's so talented. We really are a team. He's my best friend, he's kind and just a beautiful human being.
'But I learnt quite young that I enjoy keeping part of that private.
'I've always been so understanding that I've lived in the public eye since I was a teenager but also I think it's nice to keep some things to yourself.'

Royal wedding for Peter Phillips - Princess Anne's son gets engaged
Peter Phillips, the son of Princess Anne, has got engaged to an NHS nurse. The 47-year-old member of the British royal family - whose parents are Captain Mark Phillips and The Princess Royal, the younger sister of King Charles - has announced he is to marry Harriet Sperling after a year of dating with both families overjoyed with the news. A statement issued for the couple by Gerard Franklin read: "Mr Peter Phillips, the son of HRH The Princess Royal and Captain Mark Phillips and Ms Harriet Sperling, daughter of the late Mr Rupert Sanders and Mrs Mary Sanders of Gloucestershire, have today confirmed their official engagement. "Both families were informed jointly of the announcement and were delighted with the wonderful news of their engagement. "Their Majesties The King and Queen, The Prince and Princess of Wales have been informed of the announcement." At the moment there is no official date for the wedding. Peter - who is the nephew of King Charles and was the eldest grandchild of the late - was fifth in line to the throne at birth and remained so until the birth of his cousin William, Prince of Wales, in 1982. Peter has two daughters, Savannah and Isla, from his relationship with his ex-wife Autumn Kelly. The pair, who wed in 2008, announced their separation in February 2020 and their divorce was finalised in June 2021. A statement released at the time read: "Whilst this is a sad day for Peter and Autumn, they continue to put the well-being and upbringing of their wonderful daughters Savannah and Isla first and foremost. "Both Peter and Autumn are pleased to have resolved matters amicably with the children firmly at the forefront of those thoughts and decisions. "Peter and Autumn have requested privacy and consideration for their children as the family adapts to a new chapter in their lives." After his separation from Autumn, Peter was in a relationship with Lindsay Wallace for three years. While dating, they attended several royal family events together, including King Charles' Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle. Peter and Harriet - who has a daughter, Georgia - first went public as a couple in May 2024 when they were seen at the Badminton Horse Trials in Gloucestershire, England. Later that same summer they were seen enjoying Wimbledon sat in the royal box. Harriet has accompanied Peter to numerous events with other members of the royal family such as the Royal Ascot race meet. Peter and Harriet's engagement announcement comes just one day after Princess Diana's niece Lady Eliza Spencer took to Instagram to reveal she had got engaged to her long-time boyfriend, Channing Millerd in Santorini, Greece.

TV Week Logies 2025: Comedian Magda Szubanski to be inducted into Hall of Fame
Much-loved Australian comic Magda Szubanski will be awarded one of TV's greatest honours on Sunday when she is inducted into the TV Week Logies Hall of Fame. Szubanski, 64, got her big TV break in the 1980s ABC series The D-Generation before climbing to even greater fame as one of the stars of classic sketch comedy series Fast Forward, in which she parodied everyone from politicians to TV personalities, from 1989 to 1992. It was there she met and clicked with castmates Jane Turner and Gina Riley, and the three later created Seven comedy programs Big Girl's Blouse and Something Stupid. The latter featured the characters of Kath, Kim and Sharon — who would later become the stars of arguably Australia's greatest ever comedy series, Kath and Kim, which ran for four seasons from 2002 to 2007. Szubanski has also hosted TV programs on channels Nine and Ten, and starred in films Babe, Happy Feet and The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course. Logies organisers paid tribute to her as a 'comedic force and cultural icon'. She also won three Logies in the 1990s. They also recognised her cultural impact beyond the screen, paying tribute to her advocacy for the LGBTQIA+ community. Szubanski is just the fifth female inductee into the Hall of Fame, which was created in 1984, with her award to be part of Sunday's ceremony, to be broadcast on Seven and 7plus from 7pm. Szubanski in May announced she had been diagnosed with a rare and aggressive stage four blood cancer, called mantle cell lymphoma. Last month the now-bald star said she was dealing with the treatment by getting into Lego. Other Logies Hall of Fame inductees in recent years include Rebecca Gibney, Bruce McAvaney, Kerri-Anne Kennerley, Noni Hazlehurst, Home and Away and TV executive Brian Walsh.

Magda Szubanski inducted into the Logies Hall of Fame
Sharon Strzelecki. Pixie-Anne Wheatley. Wee Mary MacGregor. Chenille from the Institute de Beauté and House of Hair Removal. And the exquisitely awful Lynne Postlethwaite, whose whining anthem of 'tired, tired, tired' has, along with many other comedy catchphrases, found immortality on social media. All of those women, from the delightfully doe-eyed Pixie-Anne to the wretched and unyielding Lynne, share the same DNA. Each was crafted from the dark, demented and infectiously funny mind of comedian Madga Szubanski, the star of some of TV's finest comedies, including The D-Generation, Fast Forward, Big Girl's Blouse and Kath & Kim. Szubanski, who announced earlier this year she had been diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma, has been named this year's inductee to the TV Week Logies Hall of Fame. It is an honour that earns Szubanski a Gold Logie, and confirms her place at the epicentre of Australian culture. At times, in the expression of Pixie-Anne's indefatigable optimism, or the pathos of Sharon Strzelecki, she is the personification of Australia's complex sense of humour. The Hall of Fame also books the 64-year-old comedian a place in the history books, alongside TV pioneers such as Reg Grundy and Hector Crawford, and iconic personalities, including Graham Kennedy, Garry McDonald, Ruth Cracknell, Noni Hazlehurst, Bert Newton and Brian Henderson. And it is an important acknowledgement, despite the tendency to dismiss the Logies as either frivolous colour and movement or mere ego flattery. Important, because Magda's story is a migrant story, the daughter of working-class parents whose journey is mirrored by many of us. And important because in the four-decade history of the award, only four women have previously been inducted. In a stellar career, Szubanski has emerged as one of television's great funny women. She stands, in this moment, as a flag-bearer for Australia's wider culture of female comedians. We're a funny country, and we certainly have some funny men. But our funny women, truly, are the funniest women in the world. Back in the 1960s, the Australian bloodline of funny girls was born with The Mavis Bramston Show, which starred Maggie Dence as the titular character, and was created and co-written by the legendary Carol Raye. It was also the launchpad for another iconic Australian funny woman, Noeline Brown. That trinity of hilarious ladies laid down a bedrock which has served as a conduit to bring out a richness of female comedic talent in this country which continues to leave us collectively awestruck. Loading Not just Jane Turner, Gina Riley and Marg Downey, with whom Szubanski has been inextricably linked for much of her career, but countless more names are on that roll of honour: Julia Morris, Wendy Harmer, Jean Kittson, Judith Lucy, Jane Kennedy, Kitty Flanagan, Caroline Reid (aka Pam Ann), Mary Coustas, Mary-Anne Fahey, Gretel Killeen, Fiona O'Loughlin, Julia Zemiro, Rebel Wilson, Denise Scott, Lynda Gibson ... and on it goes. It's hard to look past Pat McDonald, too, who might not have considered herself a comedian but brought to life the hilarious Dorrie Evans from Number 96. Or Jeannie Little, who was more cabaret than comedy, but was unquestioningly hilarious. And Dame Edna Everage, who of course set the high bar for them all. But first, Magda Szubanski. As a high-school kid, The D-Generation consumed my life, every sketch seared in my memory. Szubanski specialised in playing monstrous wives, corporate women or eccentric personalities, from stout country types in vintage cat-eye spectacles and neurotic mothers, to a woman who dressed as lounge furniture, and the earliest iteration of Lynne Postlethwaite. Then, a few years later as a young television critic, I was regularly dispatched to Melbourne where, on a Friday night, we would sit in the audience while episodes of Fast Forward were taped in Channel Seven's South Melbourne studios. As a fan, it was an embarrassment of riches, where Szubanski – as well as Jane Turner, Gina Riley and Marg Downey – shimmered with brilliance. They regularly broke character, laughing. And those moments were often included in the broadcast programs. With a wave of TV magic, we weren't laughing at them, we were invited into the joke. Loading In that strange crucible of thin budgets and ridiculous ideas, these women brought to life all manner of characters that would endure in various ways. Szubanski infamously parodied Victorian premier Joan Kirner and fashion icon Maggie Tabberer, while Turner's take on housewife Kath Knight (nee Day) from Kath & Kim was born there, as an unnamed mother giving a speech at the 21st birthday of her pregnant daughter Caitlin, played by Riley. Szubanski, Turner, Riley and Downey were devastatingly funny as the Brisbane-based Brides of Satan ('We are your concubines!'), Australian soaps were given a merciless slaying in Dumb Street, and Szubanski and Downey, as Chenille and Janelle, would turn a staple of sketch comedy – morning TV satire – into one of the show's institutions. On Big Girl's Blouse, the Labor Party leadership crisis of the 1990s was distilled down to 'Midweek Ladies', a satire set amid the power struggle to control a women's tennis club, in which Szubanski played an unforgettable take on a female Graham Richardson ('Nobble the bitch'). But ultimately, it is Sharon Strzelecki with whom Szubanski remains most deeply associated. The perennially put-upon second-best friend of spoiled Kim Craig (née Day), Sharon is the conscience of Kath & Kim. As mother and daughter lurch deeply into the funny stuff, it is Sharon's task to bring a dark and emotionally complex layer to the table. While it costs the character some punchlines, that humanity and pathos gave Kath & Kim the emotional dimension it needed to become something greater than the sum of its parts. Loading Sharon's loneliness and low self-esteem is a deep ache felt by us all. Rejected by her own family, her need to belong somewhere turns 4 Lagoon Court, Fountain Lakes, into the only home she knows. That performance and the way it continues to resonate in Australian culture is perhaps the greatest credit to Szubanski, and an illuminating reminder than few comedians can be truly funny without a deep understanding of the dramatic. It is a cliche to talk about the tears of a clown, but it is equally true that the most powerful moments in comedy are those which are not in the service of easy laughs. It is also true that a real talent is worthless unless it is shared. The noted pop singer and philosopher Madonna said: 'I'm not the owner of my talent; I'm the manager of it.' And if that is true, then the real gift of Magda Szubanski is not that she is as funny as she is, but that she has spent so much of her life sharing it with us. The Logies will be broadcast from 7pm on Sunday, August 3, on Seven.
