Rugby league’s night of nights is as much about fashion as it is about footy – and on Wednesday night, a surprising double-up on the Dally M red carpet had everyone talking.
NRL star Isaiya Katoa’s glamorous partner Pani Matai and NRLW powerhouse Yasmin Clydsdale, 31, arrived at Sydney’s 2025 Dally M Awards wearing the same frock – a $400 plunging sequin maxi dress by designer Jennifer Cupro.
The eye-catching gown, with its daring neckline and figure-skimming silhouette, turned heads for all the right reasons… and maybe a few awkward ones too.
Newcastle Knights star Yasmin opted for the icy-blue version, which shimmered under the camera flashes and showed off her statuesque braless frame.
She paired the look with understated accessories and a sleek up-do, allowing the shimmering gown to take centre stage.
Meanwhile, Pani chose to crank up the heat in hot pink, posing alongside her Dolphins star partner for a picture-perfect couple’s moment.

With her hair styled in a glamorous up-do and subtle makeup highlighting her natural beauty, the WAG certainly brought the glitz factor.
Both women looked stunning – but in true red-carpet tradition, the big question remains: who wore it better?
Yasmin’s understated elegance gave the gown a statuesque, runway feel, while Pani’s playful colour choice added a sense of fun and individuality.
While it’s not the first time two stars have turned up in the same outfit at the Dally M’s, it may well be one of the boldest.
If there was one clear takeaway from the night, it was that rugby league’s leading ladies proved a fashion face-off can be just as headline-grabbing as the action on the field.
The exclusive NRL event always brings out some stunning – and sometimes questionable – style choices.
And it was no different on Wednesday night when a galaxy of NRL stars and their WAGs stepped out for the 2025 Dally M Awards.
The annual ceremony recognises outstanding performances throughout the 2025 NRL season.

It is also somewhat of a fashion show, with the WAGs showing up in their most eye-catching finery.
While billed as a black-tie event, some fashion-forward attendees often like to throw caution to the wind with their sartorial displays.
The exclusive event saw other glamorous women bring their fashion A-game, including Fox Sports presenter Jessica Yates, Sydney Roosters star Isabelle Kelly and NRL star Tommy Talau’s girlfriend Jessica Sergis.
The Dally M red carpet once again reminded us of the golden rule of league’s night of nights: it’s not just about the accolades – it’s about the fashion moments that turn heads, drop jaws and set group chats alight.
