Who wore it better? Christian Wilkins and Lucia Hawley rock up to Australian Fashion Week Day Three in very similar baby blue denim ensembles
Christian Wilkins and Lucia Hawley stunned onlookers on Wednesday when they stepped out at Australian Fashion Week wearing very similar looks.
The media stars both arrived at Pier Pavilion in Barangaroo, Sydney to attend the Aje runway show on day three of the annual fashion event.
And it seems they had a similar vision for their looks as they both rocked up wearing baby blue denim ensembles for the occasion.
Christian, 30, who is the son of Nine entertainment editor Richard Wilkins, went for a full denim look, also from Aje.
He slipped on a button-up shirt which he left gaped open over his muscular chest and tucked into a pair of matching jeans.
Christian then covered his look with a maxi dress he unbuttoned and wore as a coat.

The podcaster accessorised his outfit with a pair of blue boots and a gold medallion around his neck.
He finished everything off with a set of tinted designer sunglasses.
Meanwhile, Lucia, 27, who is the niece of Australian actress Nicole Kidman, put on a leggy display in a short dress with pleated skirts from Aje.
Though the frock did not appear to be made of denim, the buttons down the front and cut of the material gave a denim appearance.
She paired it with a set of black knee-high boots which matched her handbag and sunglasses.
Opting for a very minimal makeup look, Lucia tucked her dark tresses back behind her ears as she could be seen engrossed in a conversation with another attendee.
Lucia's appearance at AFW comes after she revealed she is moving to London to chase her journalism dreams.
As she follows in the footsteps of her mother Antonia Kidman, Lucia told The Daily Telegraph earlier this month she is 'chasing the artistic pursuit of writing'.
'I have been keeping a journal since I was 10-years-old. I think it's pretty competitive in London in the media space, but I'm going for the experience,' she said.
'So hopefully I'll land a job in media over there either writing or in broadcast.
'I've started like cold emailing editors and a few of them have actually responded which is awesome.'
Lucia said she is excited to be 'a little closer to my aunty and cousins' which she called 'a real comfort'.
Her aunt Nicole, who is based in Nashville, will now be a much shorter flight away than she was when Lucia was based in Australia.
Lucia is moving along with her boyfriend Henry Poole and says she always felt a 'pull' towards London.
The aspiring journalist has previously made it clear she refuses to be called a 'nepo baby'.
When Lucia was asked about getting a familial leg-up into her field of choice in 2023, she told the Sunday Telegraph: 'No, I've been working towards this.'
The term 'nepo baby', short for 'nepotism baby', is a person who gains success or opportunities through familial connections, especially a child of a famous parent.

Rachael Finch takes tennis lessons into her own hands with son Dominic - after she was slammed for saying her children do not play team sports
Rachael Finch decided to take tennis training into her own hands on Thursday as she was spotted on the court with her six-year-old son Dominic. The model, 36, who shares Dominic and daughter Violet, eight, with Michael Miziner, sparked controversy when she said she wouldn't put her kids in team sports. Adding that she and her husband are all the 'team' their children need, the mother-of-three appears to be staying true to her word as she played a few rounds in Sydney. The brunette beauty was all smiles as she got in some bonding time with her son on the court, dressing for the warm weather in a red sweater and black tights. Flaunting her natural beauty without a lick of makeup in sight, Rachael pulled her dark tresses back into a tight ponytail as she served the ball to Dominic.

Likewise, her son also had a big smile on his face as he enjoyed playing tennis with his famous mother, dressed in all black for the outing. Rachael copped backlash from her followers late last month when she revealed the reason she won't put her kids in any team sports. She uploaded a video to Instagram, in which her husband and daughter could be seen training at the tennis courts—but it was the caption which raised eyebrows. 'People ask, "Why don't your kids play team sports?"' the mother-of-two wrote over the video. 'We are their team,' she added. Rachael went on to explain the controversial statement, saying she always wanted to be on her family's team no matter what. 'I'll carry the water bottles. I'll chop up the oranges. I don't care what I do—just so long as I get to be on this team,' she wrote. Rachael said she hopes her children learn lessons in 'resilience, accountability, confidence, winning and losing with grace, emotional balance, and that what you put in is what you get out'. However, even if they didn't, the proud mum said 'being there every single time they turn their head to the sideline' was a dream for both her and her husband. 'The fact they're out learning more about themselves in a challenging yet supportive environment while enjoying themselves is what counts,' she said. Adding the decision to play team sports was one which depended on the child, she posed the question to other parents. 'Do you think it's better if kids play team or individual sports?' she wrote. Rachael's followers poured into the comments section with their takes on the parenting view, with many calling out her decision. 'My kids do play team sports, that doesn't mean my husband and I aren't their team,' one person sourly wrote. Another chimed in: 'I think children need to be playing with other children and not just around their parents all the time. That's just my opinion.' 'Definitely team sports, and without parents around or on sidelines is crucial to self empowerment and development,' another person added. Other parents reflected on the question, saying a little bit of both was the best course of action, so long as it's what the children want to do. 'I think playing any sport is great! Team or individual. As the kids get older they will tell you what they want to continue with or if they want to change sports,' one person expressed. Another fan said: 'As long as the kids are doing what they choose to do and love it that's all that matters.' 'My kids play both team and individual sports. There's no better or worse or right or wrong. Just what works for your child and family,' another weighed in.

Daddy duty! The Bachelor's Sam Wood is every inch the doting father as he juggles his three young daughters during an outing in Melbourne
Sam Wood effortlessly juggled daddy duties during an outing with his three daughters this week. The former Bachelor star was every inch the doting father as he guided the youngsters - Willow, seven, Charlie, five, and Harper, two - down a busy street in Richmond. The clan all held hands as they enjoyed a fun day out at the shops. The Bachelor star, 44, looked relaxed and stylish in an all-black ensemble, wearing a cosy jumper paired with matching tracksuit pants that perfectly complemented his salt-and-pepper hair. He completed his casual look with crisp white runners and sunglasses casually tucked into his jumper. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. His wife Snezana was not present during the outing. Sam recently returned from New York where he was visiting the couple's eldest daughter Evie, 19, who is living in the US. The loved-up pair, who are still going strong nine years after meeting and falling in love on The Bachelor, are reportedly eyeing off a glorious mansion in one of Melbourne's most sought after postcodes. Real estate insiders say the hunky reality star and his wife have already laid out an eye-watering $14million for the sprawling pad. Located in seaside Brighton, 14kms from the CBD, the beautiful vintage multi-level estate boasts six-bedrooms, a pool and expansive gardens. However, the Herald Sun reported that the genetically-blessed pair have yet to seal the deal on the trophy home. Now a business mogul, Sam has built an multimillion dollar empire. In 2022 he sold his fitness program - 28 by Sam Wood - to genetics group myDNA for $71million. The entrepreneur continues to invest in the company and holds a five per cent stake. He has also amassed a $10 million real estate portfolio, including a $4 million home in Elsternwick which he shares with his family. Sam made his entry into the property market back in 2014, when he purchased a two bedroom 1728 square metre unit in Carnegie's Koornang Road for $477,500. In April, Sam revealed intimate details about his marriage to Snezana He said that the couple turned to therapy to work on their communication skills. In a revealing confession, the fitness entrepreneur said the pair were prone to 'petty rows' that left them 'agitated'. 'People hear couples counselling, marriage counselling, and they think it's doom and gloom, but it's actually about learning communication techniques,' the father-of-four said on an episode of Mamamia's This Glorious Mess podcast.

Home and Away scene sparks major fan theory about how beloved character Irene will leave Summer Bay after 33 years
Home and Away fans are convinced they've cracked the mystery of how one of the show's most beloved characters will make her dramatic exit from Summer Bay. It was announced in February that Lynne McGranger, who has graced screens as Irene Roberts for an astonishing 33 years, is set to bid farewell to the iconic soap. Speaking to TV Tonight, Lynne revealed that when it came to her character's final goodbye, she had the final word. 'I had an idea and they loved it,' she said. Stopping short of divulging any potential spoilers, Lynne said Irene's exit will 'hit home' for fans of the series and said it will be 'very relevant' for a lot of people. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. However after Tuesday night's episode, a flurry of viewers believe they've pieced together the puzzle. One fan took to a popular Facebook group to theorise that Irene could be diagnosed with dementia after displaying concerning signs of memory loss. 'Did anyone notice in last night's episode that when Irene and John were talking about her watch and Irene looked confused and had a brain freeze like she lost her memory?' they posted to the group, sparking a frenzy among die-hard viewers. 'We know that she leaves our screens in August 2025, do you think this is leading to a dementia storyline and leading to her leaving?' The episode in question saw Irene bafflingly being told the same information twice about Roo Stewart (played by Georgie Parker). Adding to the intrigue, John Palmer (played by Shane Withington) queried why Irene had suddenly started wearing her watch again as she had 'stopped wearing that ages ago' and she appeared visibly confused. While the specific storyline has been kept tightly under wraps by Channel Seven, Lynne has hinted at a character-driven narrative. The Facebook post was met with a deluge of comments from eagle-eyed fans who had also noticed the unsettling scenes and said the concept was definitely 'plausible'. 'I was thinking the exact same thing myself, maybe dementia or a brain tumour," one person grimly shared, while another chimed in, 'Exactly what I said to my family last night! Irene was forgetting things!' 'Yes, I caught that too. Very clever and subtle I thought. I'm tipping it's Korsakoff's as well,' a third speculated, with a different user concurring, 'Maybe dementia due to the alcohol abuse.' 'Well picked! Alcohol related dementia, Korsakoff Syndrome. An adult and relatable storyline,' another fan astutely observed. 'This, if it turns out to be true, will open discussions and make people aware that it is just not "silly old people" that suffer from dementia.' However, some loyal viewers are holding out hope for a more uplifting send-off for their beloved Irene, wishing for a happy ending rather than a tragic demise. 'I hope she doesn't die as an exit. She deserves a happy ending,' a fan pleaded, with another commenting, 'I hope she just leaves, she's been through enough. Let her go and retire.' The Logie-nominated actress joined Summer Bay in January 1993. Her character Irene burst onto the small screen as a recovered alcoholic on a mission to turn her life around and reconnect with her daughter Fin (Tina Thomsen). Since then Irene has become an indispensable part of the tight-knit seaside community, famously taking in multiple foster children over the decades. She's been at the epicentre of some of soap's most explosive storylines, including her ongoing battle with alcoholism, a terrifying breast cancer diagnosis, the shocking reveal of a long-lost son, a dramatic ferry boat sinking, a devastating bomb explosion, a horrifying plane crash, and even a stint in prison for a murder she didn't commit.
