How would you describe your style? Unpredictable. One day I’ll be in trackies and the next completely glammed up. But I think most people know that when I show up,I really show up.
What’s the oldest thing in your wardrobe? My footy uniforms from when I played AFL.
And the most recent addition? I splurged on some Prada sunnies.
What are three essential items in your wardrobe? Rowland Vision sunglasses,white Nike “Air Force 1” sneakers and a good pair of jeans – I’m still on the hunt for the perfect fit,but I love my Levi’s 501s.

What’s your fragrance of choice? Lancome “Idôle” – Zendaya promoted it and I do what she says. I also wear “Haze” by Who Is Elijah and I love the Billie Eilish “Eilish” perfume – it smells like chocolate.
Any go-to jewellery? It’s either delicate gold jewellery,like little hoops and a fine necklace,or statement earrings by Haus of Dizzy,Nungala Creative or Gillawarra Arts.
What would you wear …
… on a first date? A dress and pointed heels. I’m gonna look cute but you’re not getting a crazy amount of effort from me.
… on a plane? A Clothing the Gaps track set and Nike sneakers.
… on the red carpet? My favourite look was a dramatic black dress and shell headpiece by Lillardia Briggs-Houston,a First Nations designer from Wiradjuri country,for the premiere ofThe Little Mermaid.
What’s your favourite fashion era? I love 1990s R&B fashion,like a baby tee and baggy pants,and a Y2K vibe – the fun colours,over-accessorising,statement sunnies. I also love the era’s low-rise pants,but I cannot wear them.
Who are your favourite designers? I like North,Ikuntji Artists,and Kourh – the “Altair” blazer is one of my favourite pieces. I also love shopping at So Familia in Newtown in Sydney;they stock a bunch of small designers.
Can you remember a favourite outfit from when you were a child? Yes,when I was six it was a Hi-5 matching set:leggings with a skirt and top. It was iconic,I wore it everywhere.
What was your first fashion moment? The first time I was on TV as a host for the NAIDOC Awards in 2019. I wore a blue pant suit with my hair big and curly,giving Whitney Houston energy;it was such a fun look and I felt so strong and confident. It was also when I fell in love with masculine clothes,as I had always prescribed to feminine skirts and dresses. Now I’m confident in both.

And your worst fashion mistake? I give myself leniency because I was just a kid but I loved those Lizzie McGuire hats – they were like cloth material with a little peak at the front. I’d hide my hair in it so my mum didn’t make me brush it out.
What’s at the top of your wish list? A Telfar bag. They always sell out but when there was a recent drop of all colours and sizes,I ordered a few and I can’t wait for them to arrive.
Is there something you would never wear? A micro miniskirt. Like low-rise jeans,they don’t suit a big booty.
Is there a current trend you like? I love that more people are buying second-hand clothes and shopping in op shops. I’m trying to be more sustainable;all my outfits from Going Places were from small businesses,black businesses or second-hand.
What shoes do you wear most often? My Nike sneakers,high-heeled pointed mules and Crocs,with socks now that it’s cold.
Who’s your favourite fashion icon? I take a lot of inspiration from Beyoncé,Rihanna and Zendaya. They’re unapologetic in their approach to fashion.
What’s your favourite off-duty,casual Sunday look? I’ll be in bike shorts and a hoodie going to the markets or brunch with a mate.
