The 2025 Logie Awards: A Night of Glamour, Surprises, and Awkward Moments
The 2025 Logie Awards, held at The Star in Sydney, showcased the best of Australian television, blending glamour, laughter, and a few unexpected moments. As the stars graced the red carpet, viewers were treated to a night filled with memorable performances, heartfelt speeches, and a sprinkle of controversy.
Red Carpet Highlights
The red carpet was ablaze with fashion statements as celebrities arrived in stunning ensembles. Brittany Hockley, known for her vibrant personality, left everyone speechless when she twerked for Dr. Chris Brown during the broadcast. This unexpected display of dance moves was met with mixed reactions, but Brittany, a finalist on this year’s Dancing With The Stars, confidently declared, "I’ve been working on my moves."
Sonia Kruger commanded attention in a breathtaking strapless gold gown designed by Alin Le’ Kal. Her outfit shimmered under the lights, and she was accompanied by her sister, Deb, making for a heartwarming moment on the red carpet. Meanwhile, Natalie Gruzlewski made a striking return after a long hiatus, donning a jaw-dropping black dress with a feather fringe, marking her first appearance since 2014.
Award Winners and Performances
The night was not just about fashion; it was also a celebration of talent. Bluey clinched the award for Best Children’s Program for the fourth consecutive year, with creator Joe Brumm accepting the accolade on stage. In the Best Entertainment Program category, The Voice emerged victorious, with hosts Sonia Kruger and Kate Miller-Heidke expressing their gratitude for the opportunity to work with Australia’s rising music stars.
Kicking off the evening was rock legend Jimmy Barnes, who delivered a rousing rendition of his iconic track "Working Class Man," setting an energetic tone for the night.
Controversial Moments
As with any awards show, the Logies had its share of eyebrow-raising moments. Host Sam Pang stirred the pot with a controversial joke about Erin Patterson, who was recently found guilty of a serious crime. His quip about casting her as a caterer on Married At First Sight left many in the audience visibly uncomfortable, showcasing the fine line between humor and insensitivity.
Fashion Faux Pas and Memorable Arrivals
The red carpet also saw its fair share of fashion mishaps. Emily Weir faced an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction, struggling to keep her daring white gown in place as she navigated the event. In contrast, Ricki-Lee Coulter dazzled in a plum-colored dress that turned heads, while Angela Bishop showcased her weight loss in a stunning black gown with a thigh-high slit.
Julia Morris opted for comfort, arriving in white Adidas sneakers, a choice that sparked mixed reactions among fashion critics. Meanwhile, Sonia Kruger’s eye-catching ring drew attention, hinting at a new romance following her recent split.

Even before the broadcast began, viewers took to social media to express their opinions about the event. Some praised the fashion choices, while others criticized the show’s format and content. The anticipation surrounding the awards was palpable, with fans eagerly discussing their favorite nominees and performances.

As the stars prepared for the night, many shared glimpses of their pre-award rituals. Sonia Kruger posted a chaotic photo of her hotel room, humorously noting the mess as she got ready. Home and Away star Lynne McGranger and her co-stars also shared their excitement, urging fans to vote for their favorites in various categories.
Notable Absences

Their absence sparked discussions about the evolving landscape of Australian television and the significance of these awards.
