In case you missed it, it's Melbourne Fashion Week right now – with stylish events staged around the city to celebrate the best of Australian design and show off the new spring/summer collections.
Runway shows and parties aside, it's also a great chance to suss out the celebrity style and see how the fashion set are dressing for the new season.
TheMamamiafashion team was on the ground at the opening show, the Urban Garden Runway in Melbourne's CBD, and caught up with a handful of influencers, TV stars and stylists to find out what they're wearing right now – and what they're looking for next. Here's what they told us.

Sharon Johal.
The formerNeighboursstar, who is currently competing onThe Blockwith her husband, arrived straight from the program's set and was glad for a change of outfit from her high-vis vest and hard hat.
Wearing an Atoir suit jacket and fitted skirt by Bianca and Bridgett, she styled the look herself because she "thought Fashion Week was next week," and considering the workload at the pointy end ofThe Block, we're honestly not surprised.
"I'm all about comfort these days," she said of her style - the actor is currently on
