Rebecca Judd breaks down in tears as she reunites with the iconic red dress she wore to the 2004 Brownlow
Rebecca Judd was overcome with emotion when she saw the iconic red dress she wore to the 2004 Brownlow Medal.
The 41-year-old AFL WAG reminisced about her favourite moments at Melbourne’s Crown Casino, as she recalled how people reacted to the revealing dress she wore as she arrived at the prestigious event on the arm of her now-husband, Chris Judd.
The revealing dress, designed by Australian fashion designer Ruth Tarvydas, featured a plunging neckline that reached Bec’s navel and a mid-thigh slit.
The custom-made dress was valued at $2,000 at the time and Bec turned heads and was in the news when she arrived at the ceremony.
“I was wearing a red dress and walking down the red carpet and everyone was like, ‘Wow!'” she recalls.
“And I thought, ‘Okay, this is a special dress,’” she added.
The clip then shows Bec’s reaction as the iconic dress is shown to her.
The AFL WAG covered her mouth and became visibly emotional as she stroked her old dress.

Well-known friends of the Jaggad Activewear founder responded to the comments and shared their joy at the memory.

Chris previously told The Herald Sun that Brownlow in 2004 was the night Bec became ‘public property’ and changed their lives forever.
“It felt like a before and after event. There were some great opportunities. Life was just very different,” said Chris, who was just 21 when he won the prestigious Brownlow Medal.
The Judds married in 2010 and five years later Chris retired from football.
The couple, who live in a $7.3 million mansion in Melbourne’s posh Brighton, have four children: daughter Billie, nine, son Oscar, 12, and twins Darcy and Tom.
