Amongst the long list of things 2020 has ruined for us, and it is the longest of lists, is red carpets.

Some events, too early in the chaos of COVID lockdowns were sadly foregone all together (RIP TV WEEK 2020 Logie Awards) while others like the ARIA Awards, have managed to go ahead.

While the show may go on for the ARIAs, albeit looking very different thanks to pre-recorded performances and winners announced via Zoom, unfortunately the red carpet is no more.

It won’t stop our favourite stars however from rocking their best couch couture and getting glammed up in their living rooms.

While some celebs opted for fierce fashion-forward looks and tradition red carpet glamour, others embraced lockdown loungewear.

It may be too early in the night to call, but we’re going out on and limb and saying musician Graace is our best dressed from the event, with the perfect combo of evening gown, full face mask and the perfect matching accessory – a glass of wine.

We officially have new couch couture goals.

For now though, we’ll be staying in our slippers and scrolling through the best looks from the ARIAs virtual red carpet, below.

The slick leather midi, the equally sleek pony, the pop of colour with a pointed pump, the matching lip colour – we love it all. But mostly we love Ash’s cheeky, sassy grin.
