Remember us? MAFS brides Alyssa Barmonde and Olivia Frazer make rare appearance as they glam up for Studio 54-themed party in Sydney
They once ruled reality TV with their explosive love stories and fiery dinner party showdowns.
But on Saturday night, Married At First Sight brides Alyssa Barmonde and Olivia Frazer were turning heads for a very different reason.
The duo made a rare joint appearance at Pelicano in Sydney 's Double Bay, stepping out for a glitzy Studio 54-themed soirée that drew a who's who of the reality television scene.
Alyssa, 37, sizzled in a sparkling white mini-dress with long sleeves and a plunging neckline, blowing kisses to cameras as she posed alongside Olivia.
Her brunette tresses were styled in loose waves, and she finished off the look with a glossy nude lip and glowing tan.

Standing beside her, Olivia, 31, showed off her curves in a blush pink off-the-shoulder mini with ruched detailing and dramatic side ties.
The OnlyFans star and podcast host wore her blonde bob tousled and fresh, letting her radiant complexion take centre stage.
The former brides smiled for photographers as they reunited for the Studio 54 bash, hosted by Belvedere Vodka and Pelicano, where sequin frocks, disco balls and retro beats set the scene.
Also spotted at the Z-list party were fellow MAFS grooms Tony Mojanovski and Ryan Donnelly, as well as FBOY Island's Joey Robson and Love Island Australia hunk Aidan Knox.
Nineties 'It Girl' Tali Jatali turned heads in a daring leopard-print bodysuit featuring a plunging neckline with low cut detailing that left little to the imagination.
She teamed the look with a baby-blue micro miniskirt and slouchy white knee-high boots, channelling vintage glam with a cheeky twist.
Oversized hoop earrings, sleek sunglasses and her signature long brunette locks completed the Studio 54-inspired ensemble.
Elsewhere, MAFS brides Lauren Dunn and Veronica Cloherty were seen mingling in the VIP section.
Rounding out the guest list was Dean Wells, who attended with his glamorous fiancée Aimee Woolley, both dressed to impress in throwback-inspired looks that fit the Studio 54 theme to a tee.
Dean opted for a layered look featuring a blush pink cardigan worn over a black tee, paired with white jeans and matching loafers for a laid-back yet cheeky disco vibe.
Aimee turned up the sparkle in a teal velvet halter jumpsuit with a plunging neckline and gold chain belt.
She finished her look with matching heels and soft waves for a true disco diva moment.

My mini gap year in (probably) the most extraordinary place on Earth
It's day four of the gap-year-in-one-week I'm sharing with my 18-year-old son, Rider, in Queensland and we're getting into our groove. Take two flights before lunch and you start feeling like blasé musicians on tour: 'Hello Brisbane, again! Oh hi, Hamilton Island — lookin' good!' We're in the southern hemisphere's largest island resort, 550 miles north of Brisbane, in the Whitsundays — the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. It's hard to decide which Madonna banger best fits the bill: Into the Groove or La Isla Bonita: 'All of nature wild and free/ This is where I long to be…' We're staying at the Sundays, a stylish boutique hotel that has just been fully refurbished to the tune of £16.9 million and has been open again for precisely 24 hours. Our twin room, home for two nights, is a lovely airy space with a big balcony overlooking the glorious Catseye Beach, an even larger bathroom and a Balearic vibe, despite the fact that Ibiza and Hamilton Island are more than 10,000 miles apart. My 'on-tour' stresses start to melt away and though we've missed the hotel's lunch window we eat a couple of burgers over the road at the Hamilton Island Resort Centre, where Rider confronts his first chip-stealing flock of laughing kookaburras; like a cheeky bunch of seagulls, in drag. Fortified, we head off to collect a golf buggy — one of the only methods of transport on the car-free island — while kangaroos hop across our path. By the time we've done an island recce (it's gorgeous from every angle, a cross between The Prisoner-era Portmeirion and an animated Disney movie) the sun is slipping away. It's the perfect moment to arrive at One Tree Hill, on the island's northern tip, where buggies cluster nightly for chillaxed live music and sundowners, until a semi-acoustic cover of Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall ('Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone!') gives me and a similarly aged couple (on a mini-break from Melbourne, we've bonded while sharing a table) the collective giggles. So much so, indeed, that Rider escapes us to take sunset selfies for Snapchat, leaving the retro hits behind. Back at the hotel dinner is a wow. The chef Josh Niland is an Aussie superstar — the 'fish butcher' and his wife, Julie, run Saint Peter, a Sydney restaurant widely regarded by critics as one of the country's best, while his CV also includes a stint at the Fat Duck, Heston Blumenthal's three-Michelin-starred restaurant. At the Sundays' Catseye Pool Club, Rider says Niland's tasting menu is 'basically the best thing, ever'. From the batter fried wild fish tacos to the crumbed white Pyrenees lamb cutlets and their accompanying sides (grilled beans and pecorino polenta with the lamb, fermented pineapple hot sauce with the tacos) every dish sings. It's a great evening, with another early night for an early start. We're getting used to these. • The ultimate guide to the Great Barrier Reef: everything you need to know At the time of writing, two months later, our fifth day now feels like a fever dream. I had known for weeks that we would be joining Cruise Whitsundays' 'outer reef day cruise' and that if the weather was optimal we'd also take a 15-minute helicopter ride over the heart-shaped coral cluster at Hardy Reef. I had also known for weeks that, after the flight, we would be snorkelling and discovering the reef up close. Yeah, I knew all of this in theory, however, it wasn't until we were halfway through the two-hour boat trip from Hamilton Island to the reef that I thought, 'Hang on — where precisely are we headed? What will we see when we arrive?!' The answer: Reefworld, a permanently moored pontoon 45 miles away from the Whitsundays. At this shimmering reef-side oasis, the weather is perfect for choppers and three soon appear on the horizon, landing on their own pontoons. I'm suddenly glad I haven't spent any time contemplating being in a helicopter above the Pacific, 45 miles from dry land, because once our Hamilton Island Air pilot, Luke, is swooping us over Heart Reef, breathtaking doesn't come close to describing being a human drone, observing the contrast between the endless expanse of ocean and the reef ecosystem directly below us. This high-definition ride is one of the greatest things I've experienced. I'm thrilled that Rider — 'co-piloting' in the chopper's front seat, next to Luke — has done this at just 18; doubly delighted to be sharing it with him. Yet soon after we put on 'stinger' suits, flippers and snorkels and launch ourselves off the pontoon and into the reef, that amazing helicopter ride is memory-holed. While it remains one of the most extraordinary things I've done, being underwater in the Great Barrier Reef turns out to be at the next level. We've swum a couple of hundred metres away from the pontoon, mesmerised, punctuating the silence with an occasional 'wow!', when Rider turns to me and says: 'This is as good a place as any, right?' • 10 amazing ways to see the Great Barrier Reef I agree, so we slip below the surface, back into our parallel underwater world teeming with brilliant fluorescent fish and glistening coral. Here, Rider deftly unscrews the lid of the small container we've brought with us — and will take away with us too — while behind my mask tears flow; crying underwater is yet another new experience. My eldest son, Jackson, was about to embark on his post-graduation gap year when he died in an accident in September 2023 and now, as we set a tiny amount of his ashes free at one of the most extraordinary places on earth, Jackson's gap afterlife is just beginning.

‘Terrified' Gemma Collins sent rat poison and bizarre note in the post as she ups security at her Essex home
TERRIFIED Gemma Collins was left reeling after a parcel containing rat poison was sent to her home. The reality TV star, 44, was shocked by the toxic package, which also contained a nasty note covered with glitter, and reported it to police. 3 3 The hate mail came just weeks after The Sun on Sunday revealed Gemma was forced to call the cops over another 'abusive and menacing' letter. A source said: 'The package was really scary and she was terrified to receive it. 'It was delivered by the postman, but had no postage stamp on it. 'Gemma was worried as it contained rat poison, especially as she has animals at her home.' Gemma, who lives with businessman fiancé Rami Hawash, has since beefed up security with 24-hour guard dog patrols. The source added she has passed on details of the latest incident to cops, who she had been already in contact with over the previous hate letter. They said: 'They've been fantastic and have some new leads. 'She's trying not to let it get to her too much and doing her best to focus on summer projects.' Gemma told a podcast in May she has had multiple stalkers over the years. They threatened to kill her and sent letters to her boutique store in Essex — leading her to quit front-of-house work. Terrified Gemma Collins calls cops & beefs up security after man sends 'nasty and menacing' letter to her home A spokesman for Gemma declined to comment. But sources confirmed she is in contact with cops. Essex Police were approached for comment.
