UBER stylist Mia Jones is creating a fashion first at the Brownlow Medal.
The formerly Los Angeles-based consultant - whose daily rate was $1900 - has been enlisted to style several footballers and their partners, the Herald Sun reported.
She has worked with movie stars Jamie Foxx, Bradley Cooper and Ryan Gosling and Jeremy Piven, one of the stars of TV's Entourage.
"It was about time I think that the red carpet was stepped up," Jones said.
"It's not acceptable for these girls to be baring their flesh when it's about the partners. I'd love to create a point of difference and say this is what awards red carpet dressing is all about."
Jones, 32, grew up in Newcastle and studied fashion in New York before styling for the Emmys and Oscars red carpets.
She is dressing Collingwood star Scott Pendlebury and his girlfriend Alex Davis in Versace from Milan; Magpie Leon Davis's partner Janelle Graham in Carl Kapp; Demon Nathan Jones's partner Jerri Hewitt in Carla Zampatti; Eagle Darren Glass's wife Alicia in Alex Perry and Bulldog Matthew Boyd's wife Kate in Lisa Ho with Christian Louboutin shoes and Louis Vuitton clutch.
"They are all genuinely nice people and very appreciative," Jones said.
"It has been challenging coming to Australia because you need to look outside the square and what people can afford.
"I don't think it takes so much money to look good. Australia has such great designers and it's big business. I have solely looked after men but it's been great to work with the girls."�
