Pregnant Nadia Bartel cradles her baby bump in a daring blush lace dress as she prepares to walk red carpet at Brownlows... after sharing a VERY revealing selfie

She's set to give birth to her first baby in just over eight weeks.

And Nadia Bartel showed off her blossoming baby bump in a daring gown ahead of the 2015 Brownlow medal count on Monday evening.

The 30-year-old took to Instagram to reveal the elegant blush lace dress with a dramatic thigh high split as she prepared to walk the red carpet at the event.

The wife of AFL star Jimmy Bartell - who has garnered a following of close to 250,000 Instagram followers through her feed of sophisticated yet simple outfits - showed off the custom made floor sweeping number by Paolo Sebastian in a series of snaps posted on the social media site ahead of the star studded soiree.

The grab complete with semi-sheer panelling and a fitted mid-section, drew attention to Nadia’s burgeoning bump and her slender, toned curves.

The one sleeved asymmetrical design, featured a key hole cut out over the Melbourne-born fashion bloggers chest as she confidently flaunted her ample assets.

The finer details of the expectant mothers standout attire included a pair of delicate diamond stud earrings from Cerrone Jewellers, while she stood in chic strappy gold heels.

With her glossy blonde locks left loose around her shoulders in tousled waves, Nadia accentuated her striking facial features with a bolt of dark mulberry lipstick, a smudging of brown smokey eye shadow whilst she powdered bronzer across her well defined cheeks.

Nadia also made sure to prep her skin with a spray tan ahead of the event to achieve a sun kissed glow.

‘Ready to go! Thanks Paolo_Sebastian,’ she captioned the image as gave her fans a sneak preview of her red carpet attire.

A second shot uploaded, showed Nadia’s ensemble from a different angle as she posed side on with her hands comfortably resting underneath her expanding stomach.

Peering down towards the ground, the blonde beauty showed off her enviable figure and the revealing lace panel which ran down the full left side of her dress.

Earlier in the day as preparations were under way for the big night, Nadia treated her fans to two cleavage revealing selfies.

The first showed the fashionista's ample assets on full display as she pursed her lips into the perfect pout whilst staring down the lens like a seasoned pro.

Wearing a tight black singlet and a khaki military style blazer thrown over the top, Nadia appeared glowing in the shot after treating herself to a facial and a massage.

‘What a day Melbourne,’ she wrote underneath the image taken from the front seat of her car as her honey dyed locks cascaded effortlessly over her shoulders.

‘Totally spoiled at the cool @lovefaceandbody today. Relaxing facials and massages,’ she wrote adding the hashtag ‘Brownlow prep.’

Nadia then made her way to get her hair and makeup done, and captured a selfie of the end result.

Wearing a plunging blue top in the image, Nadia’s cleavage was once again on full display.

‘Brownlow ready,’ she captioned her second sultry selfie of the day.

Announcing her pregnancy several months ago, the Chronicles of Nadia blogger and her Geelong Cats player husband shared the news via a photo on Nadia's Instagram of the baby bump at four months along.

'There is a little incredible human growing inside me,' Nadia captioned the snap, showing her wearing a black lingerie set in a bathroom. 'Words can't express how happy we are.'

The couple, who met at Melbourne's F1 Grand Prix in 2008, were married in February last year in a country wedding in Victoria.

Nadia, who now owns web store The Con-Nection, spoke to Herald Sun last year about her busy schedule.

'I’m working more now than I ever have.' she said. 'Because the internet doesn’t have closing hours you find you are always switched on.

'I think also because I am working on my own, I place a lot of pressure on myself and also because of the way society is now, we are always online, getting emails at all hours of the day.'

In a styling tips post for busy women on her blog earlier this year, Nadia also mentioned her hectic timetable.

'I am continually on the go, from daily trips between Geelong and Melbourne,' she wrote. 'Throwing in trips to Sydney a few times a month and the daily grind of managing all my work behind the desk combined with shooting, daily meetings and styling sessions, it can be hard.'

In recent months, the blogger has continued to busy herself with projects while she awaits the birth of her first child.
