There’s a lot to love—and hate—about Married At First Sight Australia.
From petty drama to unexpectedly sweet moments, there’s never a dull moment. But since the real chaos unfolds at the dinner parties, we can’t help but obsess over what the couples wear each night.
Take Janelle’s revenge dress from 2023, for example. Or remember that iconic bodysuit Coco wore? The outfits just keep getting more outrageous each season.
Which got me thinking—if I were ever on this wild reality TV ride, what on earth would I wear?
So, I set out to curate my dream MAFS dinner party wardrobe.

01
Genie Diamante Halter Midi Dress
$279 at Meshki
The ‘if he left me at the altar’ dress
Okay, so he left me stranded at the altar or ditched me on the honeymoon—so what?
I’m holding my head high and strutting out with elegance in this plunging number.
With its luxe mesh diamante fabric, this midi dress catches the light with every move, ensuring all eyes are on me.
Sizes: XXS to 3XL
Colours: mahogany and nude
Key features:
- Halter neckline
- Deep plunge length
- Mesh diamante fabrication
- Midi length

02
Violeta Maxi Dress Corset Front Burnout Dress
$139.95 at Showpo
The ‘if I wanted to steal someone’s husband’ dress
It’s completely unethical, I know… but we’re speaking hypothetically, of course.
And—hypothetically speaking—if I were plotting to make a move on someone else’s (fake) husband on a reality TV show, I’d wear something like this.
It’s flirty, it’s fun, and it’s totally fabulous.
Sizes: 6 to 20
Colours: black and wine
Key features:
- Zips details
- Inner lining
- Sweetheart neckline
- Maxi length

03
Apple Cider Mini Dress
$80 at Princess Polly
The ‘if I wanted to start drama’ dress
Learning from Martha’s mistakes (IYKYK), I’m steering clear of white if there’s even a chance of drama brewing.
Instead, I’d opt for something non-restrictive—no sleeves, not too fitted, and definitely not too long. After all, if a quick exit is needed, I don’t want to trip over myself in the process.
Sizes: 4 to 16
Colour: green
Key features:
- Silk-like material
- Straight neckline
- Spiral ring detail
- Non-stretch material

04
Pandorea Layered Mini Dress
$425 at Aje
The ‘if I wanted the perfect photo for the ‘gram’ dress
If I wanted to stand out online (for all the right reasons), this is the dress I’d choose.
It’s made for a ‘gram-worthy moment and guaranteed to have everyone asking, Where did you get that?
Sizes: 4 to 16
Colours: washed coral, fuchsia rose and pastel pink
Key features:
- Layered ruffles throughout
- Halter neckline
- Adjustable straps with back ties
- Lined

05
x REVOLVE Oren Mesh Maxi Dress
$292.06 (usually $343.39) at Revolve
The ‘if I wanted to go viral’ dress
The secret to any viral moment? Controversy—it’s the reason the show thrives.
So, if I were to fabricate my own headline-worthy moment, I’d have to go big, and I’d have to go bold.
And if MAFS has taught me anything, it’s that a sheer dress always—always—goes viral.
Sizes: XS to XL
Colour: black
Key features:
- Unlined
- Pull-on styling
- Lightweight mesh fabric
- Intentionally sheer
