Sydney Roosters player Isabelle Kelly pushed the envelope in a racy black frock with large cut-outs at the sides and a plunging neckline, ensuring lots of skin was on show. 

South Sydney Rabbitohs star Jai Arrow has the beautiful Berina Colakovic by his side, with Berina classic in a black gown with a feathered bodice and a thigh-high split.
