Love looks good on her! Jelena Dokic stuns at Logies as she shows off her youthful visage and major weight loss in slinky silver gown - after going public with new man
The former Australian tennis champion, who recently went public with her new romance, was looking fit and fabulous at the Logies on Sunday night.
The 42-year-old showed off her trimmed-down figure after a recent weight loss, as well as her very youthful visage, as she walked the red carpet at The Star in Sydney.
Jelena opted for a glittering silver gown, the slinky design skimming her trimmed-down curves.
The strapless number included intricate, dangling beading, as well as a ruched portion at the hip.
The glistening, metallic fabric was gathered at the waist and flowed down into a short train, with a pair of pointed, silver heels peeking out underneath.
For makeup, Jelena chose a warm, bronzed palette with a deep plum lipstick for a bit of boldness.
She slicked her hair off her face and kept her accessories light, adding a pair of diamond earrings.
Jelena's recent fitness journey was beautifully showcased in the dress, which ensured her toned and muscular arms were on display.
The tennis ace appeared to go solo to the event, with no sign of her new man.
Earlier this month, the former athlete went Instagram official with her new boyfriend, Yane Veselinov.
The sports commentator shared a loved-up photo of herself and Yane to social media alongside a sweet caption.
Jelena gushed over her man, writing: 'You are my calm, safe, peaceful and happy place. So glad I found you.'
Little is known about Yane, who is a hospitality operations manager, but his Instagram bio describes him as a 'food and wine enthusiast, pleasure seeker and life enjoyer.'
The couple were first spotted cuddling up at Melbourne Airport back in May.
Jelena was seen exiting her flight and grinning broadly as she accepted a warm embrace from her bearded man as she entered the terminal.
Late last year, Jelena revealed she has been 'closed off' to finding love ever since she split from her long-time Brazilian boyfriend, Tin Bikic.
The couple were together for almost 19 years before announcing they had ended their relationship in 2021.
Jelena was left 'shattered' in the aftermath of her split, revealing last year how heartbroken she was.
Despite saying that her walls have been up ever since, Jelena took to Instagram to make the heartbreaking admission that she's 'scared of being alone' for the rest of her life.
Jelena went on to say that she was 'built' to love one person 'unconditionally and so fully that it gets me in trouble'.

Dick Diver review – beloved ‘dolewave' band's one-off reunion brings out Melbourne for four magical shows
Dick Diver embodies a time that is both long gone and ever-present. They may have never been a household name but the Melbourne quartet, or what they represent, are a part of the national cultural fabric. Their lackadaisical affect belies the seriousness and sophistication of both their musicality and lyrics, which are unpretentiously and undeniably Australian. The band combine the slacker vibes of Pavement with the bookish lyricism (they take their name from a character in an F Scott Fitzgerald novel) and jangly 'striped sunlight sound' of the Go-Betweens. Releasing three albums and an EP between 2009 and 2015 through the celebrated Melbourne indie label Chapter Music, Dick Diver's encapsulation of millennial malaise under capitalism made them the unwitting leaders of a genre jokingly nicknamed 'dolewave'. The band, and much of the underground music press, bristled but the moniker nonetheless expressed something true: this was the music of the everyman, suburban poetics for the struggles and quiet joys of daily living. Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning For me, Dick Diver was the sound of moving to Melbourne and starting my independent adult life. Living in sharehouses in Richmond and Carlton North, my housemates and I would cycle down to the Tote after working our entry-level jobs to see Rupert Edwards, Alistair McKay, Al Montfort and Steph Hughes play these songs that were somehow about us. Dick Diver soundtracked the changing tides of my life, spinning on a record player or blasting from a stage as I learned how to work, how to love, how to live. It's been a while between drinks: Dick Diver's last shows were in 2018 and, despite the memorable lyric 'Europe's fucked, probably', half the band now lives there. In the intervening years they have busied themselves with other musical projects, including Sleeper and Snake, Terry and UV Race, and undergone new personal adventures, such as raising children. This surprise reunion was initially a one-off but demand ballooned it into a four-show affair, including two all-ages matinees. Despite it being 10 years since their last album, the cheekily named Melbourne, Florida, this is not the typical album-in-full nostalgia show. The sentimentality is there, of course – 'It's been such a treat to learn these old songs. It's been a while since we've been together,' McKay tells the sold-out crowd on Friday night – but you'd be forgiven for forgetting any time had passed at all. It does take a little time to warm back up: the band feels a little subdued at their first show on Friday night, with their signature banter missing, and loud crowd chatter throughout the sprawling Amber – one of their best – dulling the meditative impact of the song's languorous pace and surrealist imagery ('When I was young, I saw a horse in a stream / One day it looked at me and said, 'Get a grip, dreamy, it's the 21st century!'') But the music sounds great and the band remains as tight as ever, with guest musicians on saxophone and trumpet elevating songs such as Lime Green Shirt and Private Number. Band members swap instruments and vocal duties, and it's not hard to see how this ramshackle crew got together and made this magic. By Saturday, with two shows under the belt, the energy is immediately higher. The show kicks off with Alice, a highlight from the 2013 album Calendar Days that sounds like REM's Losing My Religion if it were set in the Northern Territory on a scorching summer's day. The setlist is similar but for the addition of the 'ancient' Flying Teatowel Blues, a strange, epic beast of a song that takes its cues from spaghetti westerns and shows the band's versatility. Sign up to Saved for Later Catch up on the fun stuff with Guardian Australia's culture and lifestyle rundown of pop culture, trends and tips after newsletter promotion The easy repartee reminds us of where we are and who they are. 'Who can recite their CRN number?' Montfort says before the band plays New Start Again, the title track from their 2011 debut album. During the anthemic Head Back, the crowd roars 'burn the flag' in unison – a lyric that clearly captures a mood in 2025. These songs are evergreen. Dick Diver's value today is in more than just remembering the past: here is a band who manage to both embody the larrikinism of Australian culture and provide a howl of truth about what it means to live here, what it means to live at all. A Dick Diver show, rare and special as it is now, is a look both back and forward: things change, things stay the same.

Lynne McGranger shares shock career news after winning Gold Logie and retiring from Home and Away
All signs pointed to Lynne McGranger retiring from acting for good when she won the Gold Logie on Sunday night. The veteran actress, who quit Home and Away earlier this year, appeared content to rest on her laurels after a decades-long career. But the 72-year-old revealed on Monday that she is far from finished when it comes to her acting aspirations. 'I'm not retiring, absolutely not,' she told The Daily Telegraph following her Gold Logie win. 'If I had the opportunity to come back to television at some point, of course I would consider it depending on the role and the show … but not another 33 years because otherwise I'd be very, very old.' The star has already lined up her next gig - she is touring with the stage play, The Grandparents Club. Lynne has the lead role in the musical comedy, which is on the road around Australia until October. The performer says that the 'stars have aligned' for her, and she's 'very comfortable' with her choice to quit the soap and pursue a stage career. McGranger took home the crown on Sunday night when she was awarded the Gold Logie at The Star in Sydney. She took to the 2025 Logies stage with a smile in her gold gown as she accepted the award from 2009 winner Rebecca Gibney. Lynne beat TV stars Ally Langdon, Hamish Blake, Julia Morris, Poh Ling Yeow and Sonia Kruger for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television. 'Wear a pretty dress they said. You'll be fine they said,' joked Lynne, who recently announced she was leaving her soap show after 33 years. 'I'm thrilled and honoured... I don't know if any of you have caught my press lately. There hasn't been much,' she said. 'I did promise if I won the Gold Logie, I would carry it around in my handbag for a year, which is better than baring my white a** on TV, Larry,' she added. The joke was in reference to The Morning Show host Larry Emdur having his behind tattooed live on air last year after he won the Gold Logie. Lynne then joked she would have her ashes put in the Logie when she dies, before thanking her Home and Away co-stars and crew. McGranger filmed her final scenes for Home and Away in March, saying goodbye to her character, Irene, after over 30 years in the cast. She was gifted flowers by her co-stars, including Ada Nicodemou, and looked very emotional - albeit elated - as she finished up at Seven's long-running serial. 'I've had the ride of my life. And I love each and every one of you so much: The cast – Ray, Georgie, Emily, Shane, Ada, James, all the young'uns,' she said in a statement. 'The art department, the writers, everybody – there are so many unsung heroes. This show is made up of so many parts,' Lynne continued. 'You're all amazing, and it's been my great privilege to work with each and every one of you. I'm touched, I'm humbled and I'm so honoured. Thank you so much.'
