Meanwhile, Tsehay Hawkins went 'full disco' for the glittering event.

The Yellow Wiggle bared her torso in a white two piece 'cowgirl' outfit that featured frills and consisted of a tie-front top and matching hipsters.

She accessorised with a pair of giant hoop earrings and a crucifix on a chain.

At one point she surprised onlookers when she revealed that her top had the word 'Jesus' emblazoned on the back.

She topped off her look with a pair of chunky boots and decorative eye make up.

Former Miss World Australia Erin Holland also turned heads on the red carpet.

The famed beauty donned a figure hugging pair of retro black jeans with white trim that she paired with a black see-through lace top.

Also in attendance was red carpet regular Kerri-Anne Kennerley .

The TV fan favourite opted for an elegant look that consisted of a black suit that featured bedazzled epaulettes.

She paired the outfit with a low cut black top and matching trousers and tan boots.

The Block's Mitch Edwards and Mark McKie also rocked the Jesus Christ Superstar red carpet.

The colourful couple had a lot of fun posing for onlookers in complimentary dance party inspired outfits.
