Ada Nicodemou like you have never seen her before! Home and Away star busts out of daring dress as she accompanies partner James Stewart at charity ball
The Home and Away favourite, 47, turned heads as she arrived at the annual Tour de Cure Gala in Sydney on Friday night, stepping out alongside her longtime partner and co-star James Stewart.
Known for her more conservative style choices, Ada broke away from tradition in a jaw-dropping black halterneck gown emblazoned with oversized red floral details and featuring a series of bold cut-outs across the chest and torso.
The dramatic design clung to her enviable figure, with the sheer panels and plunging neckline putting her toned physique firmly in the spotlight.
She styled her brunette tresses in soft waves and kept her glam glowing, pairing bronzed skin with a nude lip and smoky eye. Ada completed her risqué look with black stiletto heels and a confident smile.

Beside her, James Stewart, 48, looked every inch the leading man in a classic black tuxedo and bow tie, flashing a grin as he posed proudly with Ada.
The glamorous couple were just two of the high-profile guests attending the Tour de Cure gala, which raised an impressive $1.6 million for cancer research, support and prevention.
The star-studded night saw appearances from some of Australia's most beloved personalities, including Paul Hogan, David Koch, Mark Beretta, Larry Emdur, Jamie Durie, Edwina Bartholomew, and Delvene Delaney.
A major highlight of the evening was a powerful and emotional speech from 2024 Australian of the Year, Professor Richard Scolyer AO, who has inspired millions with his groundbreaking work and personal cancer journey.
Last month, Ada gave a heartwarming update on her relationship with co-star James, just a few weeks after celebrating their one-year anniversary together.
The Home and Away star gushed over the couple's recent romantic connection, which blossomed after 25 years of friendship, in an issue of Stellar.
Revealing she is usually very private about their intimate life together, the actress said she couldn't help but post about their recent relationship milestone because she and James have had a great year together.
'It's been a really lovely year together,' she told the publication when asked about her rare social media post about the pair.

'I don't like to post a lot of stuff about us online but, at the same time, I'm really proud of the last year we've had, and wanted to share that.'
Earlier this year, Ada shared a tribute to James, as she took to Instagram to post a sweet collection of pictures celebrating their one year anniversary at Mimi's in Sydney.
The Sydney-born star recently revealed how her Home and Away co-stars discovered her off-screen relationship with James.
The soap opera stars, whose characters are married on the Channel Seven show, were first linked at the beginning of 2024 when they were seen sharing a kiss on Anzac Day before Ada confirmed their romance in an interview.
Speaking on Mamamia's No Filter podcast, the actress revealed she had only told a small group of people she was 'close with' on set before 'word got around' about the couple's off-screen relationship.
In July, Ada finally broke her silence on her romance with James after months of speculation.
She confirmed she was dating her longtime co-star James in a magazine interview, describing their romance as 'unexpected'.
The couple began dating after Ada split from her ex-partner Adam Rigby just before Christmas in 2023 and James finalised his divorce from Sarah Roberts in March 2024.

The supermodel, 55, nailed summer chic in the black and white blouse and trousers, which she teamed with a coordinating sports cap, white miniature purse, and casual sandals. Naomi looked happy and relaxed as she sipped on water while chatting to the film producer amid his birthday celebrations. Meanwhile, Mohammed, who was in town with the model amid the launch party for a Ritz-Carlton Superyacht, kept things casual in a black T-shirt and colorful shorts. Over the years, fans have frequently called for the pair to get together, commenting on their many Instagram posts of each other, and predicting they would be 'the next IT couple'. However, Naomi made steps to clarify their relationship on Thursday as she shared a gushing 40th birthday tribute to the Saudi Arabian producer on Instagram. Alongside two snaps of the pair, including a photo of a bikini-clad Naomi embracing Mohammed, the beauty referred to her pal as her 'chosen family', before noting how much she cherishes their 'friendship and family-ship'. She penned: 'Happy birthday 40th birthday and turn around the sun to my chosen family @moalturki My Mo. 'I'm so proud of all that you've done, all that you're doing, and all that's ahead for you. I'm beyond excited for your next chapter and everything your future holds. Most of all, I'm deeply grateful to have you in my life. 'I wish you joy, health, love, and every blessing this year and beyond. I know this next season is going to be filled with incredible things, and I can't wait for the world to see it all unfold. 'We love you so much, Uncle Mo. I truly cherish our friendship—and our family-ship.' The pair have been friends for several years, after the Saudi Arabian film producer first shared a snap with the superstar on his Instagram back in 2021. They have been fixtures at each other's sides at many events since, including last year's BAFTA's, Cannes film festival, Paris Fashion Week in 2022 and 2023, and several exclusive parties, like Edward Enninful 's birthday bash. Mohammed and Naomi have even jetted off on vacation together, with the pair soaking up the sun in Ibiza last year.

Keeping her face hidden with her phone, the P.E Nation founder added a pair of dark sunglasses and pulled her blonde tresses back into an updo.

Pip Edwards, 45, shocked followers on Saturday when she showed off her very sculpted abs It comes after Pip posted to her social media to share an intimate family moment with her son Justice late last month. The fashion designer took the opportunity to take a sly dig at her 18-year-old boy—who she often features in her online posts. 'Turns out he can smile in photos,' Pip wrote in the caption of her post, referencing her son's usually sombre appearance in her photos. Posing at a table in an outdoor restaurant, one photo featured the fashionista gazing lovingly at her boy while he smiled broadly for the camera. Another photo showed Justice listening to his mother earnestly. The high-profile entrepreneur and her son recently spent time undergoing an 'equilibrium of health' program on an island near Bangkok. The retreat is priced upwards from $9,350 for an individual's five-night stay—per the company's website. Pip shares Justice with her ex, fellow fashion brand owner Dan Single. Pip Edwards is the creative director of Ksubi and co-founder of P.E Nation The designer has previously revealed it's not always fun for her boy to see his famous mother flexing online. 'It's hard for him when everyone around him sees what I do on Instagram,' she told The Daily Telegraph. 'I know that he knows the purpose and the reason and the why, and he's reaping the rewards of that work.' Pip said social media can have negative consequences for teenage boys in general. 'There's a real self-critical energy out there with young boys. There's a lot of self doubt,' she said. 'I always tell Justice, what's your best is not someone else's best. Which is still really hard for me to do as an adult.' Justice was a student at a Rose Bay high school and has ambitions to join the NBA. Pip and Justice's dad Dan, 47, split in 2008, but have remained on good terms. The fashionista has said the pair share a strong 'co-parenting relationship' and are still close.
