AFL legend Nathan Buckley and his very glamorous girlfriend Brodie Ryan make return to Melbourne Fashion Week a year after debuting their romance

Nathan Buckley and his glamorous girlfriend Brodie Ryan returned to Melbourne Fashion Week on Tuesday night, a year after their public debut.

The footy star, 51, and his bronzed partner looked stylish as they attended the opening night of Fashion x Theater at the Regent Theatre.

Brodie, 34, was the picture of elegance in a stunning all-black ensemble.

The striking, low-cut black dress was embellished with bejeweled details, adding a touch of glamor to the look.

Her style statement was further accentuated with a chic black clutch and a pair of striking transparent heels decorated with black dots.

Nathan didn’t lag behind in the style department either, looking every inch the dapper gentleman in a sharply tailored white button-up shirt, perfectly paired with a soft gray blazer.

The sighting comes just weeks after Nathan shared how ‘lucky’ he is to have found his new love.

He said, ‘Life is good’ now that he’s with her, when the Herald Sun asked about the breakdown of his marriage to ex-wife Tania.

“I feel very fortunate to have met a partner in Brodie who I love and respect. Life is good,” he said.

Brodie seems to have settled into the role of a WAG well, with the brunette beauty undergoing an incredible makeover to suit her new life with Nathan.

She went from a blonde girl-next-door look to a bronzed glamazon almost overnight after dating the former AFL player and coach.

In resurfaced Instagram photos, the difference is uncanny, as she looked completely unrecognizable in throwback photos from her late 20s.

Comparing her happy snaps over the years, it’s clear Brodie has undergone a huge transformation when she became WAG last year.

With visibly fuller lips and a more natural dark brown color to her locks, the stunner has been looking to enhance her genetically blessed features.

The business manager also underwent an incredible makeover as she went from a blonde girl-next-door look to a bronzed glamazon almost overnight after dating the AFL star.  In the photo 2014
