Former *Home and Away* star Christie Hayes stole the spotlight at the 2024 ACRA

Awards in Sydney, turning heads with her daring fashion choice. The 37-year-old actress,

best known for her role as Kirsty Sutherland on the hit soap, wowed the crowd in a bold,

sequined gown that featured a frill neck and a halter detail. The real showstopper was the sheer panel at the bust, adding an extra layer of drama to her eye-catching look.

The glittering gown hugged her figure perfectly, and Christie completed the ensemble with warm-toned makeup and a peachy blush that gave her a radiant glow. Although her black heels were mostly hidden beneath the floor-length dress, her elegant presence didn’t go unnoticed. She kept her accessories minimal, opting for just two rings, letting the gown do all the talking.

Interestingly, Christie appeared solo at the event, as her husband, radio announcer Justin Coombes-Pearce, was absent from the glitzy affair. The couple has been married since 2019, after a romantic New Year’s Eve proposal during a late-night picnic on the New South Wales coast. Justin had even hidden the engagement ring inside an antique book titled *Reach for the Sky*—a phrase that holds sentimental value for the couple. This is Christie’s third marriage, having previously been married to actor Greg Hatton and Daniel White, with whom she shares two sons, Hendrix and Harley.
