As the night unfolds, the anticipation builds, and the entrance to the NGV becomes a spectacle in itself. This year, attendees were left in awe as Liam Hemsworth and his stunning partner, Gabriella Brooks, made their grand entrance. It was a moment that left everyone gasping for breath – the Australian-Hollywood heartthrob, known for his roles in blockbusters like The Hunger Games, was here, right in front of their eyes. Liam exuded confidence and charm as he strolled down the blue carpet, clad in a sleek black-tie ensemble. Gabriella, equally mesmerising, captivated everyone with her effortlessly chic Grecian-style strapless dress, complete with a bold and eye-catching golden centrepiece.
