Home and Away star Ray Meagher wore his heart on his sleeve on Sunday night as he attended the Logie Awards at The Star in Sydney.
The 80-year-old actor cut a striking figure in a black-and-white tuxedo, which featured a surprising and touching detail.
On the lapel of his blazer, Meagher pinned a yellow patch advertising the mental health charity Dancing With The Black Dog.
Meagher has been an ambassador for the Australian charity, which aims to end the ‘stigma around anxiety and depression’, since 2018.
The charity’s logo is a drawing of a black dog dancing on its hind legs, which is featured on its badges, along with the slogan: ‘It’s OK to say you’re not OK.’
Meagher appeared to be in good spirits as he posed spectacularly at the exclusive event, proudly showing off his love for the Melbourne-based non-profit organisation.
He had a big smile on his face as he posed alongside his co-stars Emily Symons and Georgie Parker, while their colleague Tristan Gorey was nominated for the Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent for his work on Home and Away.
Elsewhere that evening, Larry Emdur won his first-ever Logie Award, taking home the gold at the 2024 ceremony, where he led the celebrity winners.

The 59-year-old TV star has been a regular face on Australian screens since he was 19, but has never won an award at the prestigious awards ceremony before.
In a landmark victory, Larry was crowned most popular presenter and won the Bert Newton Award, his first ever Logies win.
In an incredible feat, he was later crowned winner of the coveted Gold Logie after cleaning up after himself on that important night.

The Morning Show host took to the stage at the Logies ceremony in Sydney drew thunderous applause from the audience, as he mocked the number of times his programs had been cancelled over the years and his wide range of dubious presenting jobs.
‘I I just remembered I said if I won I would get all the nominees’ initials tattooed on my butt live tomorrow morning,” he began, drawing laughter from the audience.
Larry made good on his promise the next morning when he got a tattoo on his buttocks live on The Morning Show.
Earlier that evening, Larry beat out his TV colleagues Hamish Blake, Julia Morris, Sonia Kruger and Tony Armstrong, as well as newcomer Robert Irwin, to win the Bert Newton Award.
