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.

This is what happens when Kylie Jenner wears your dress

The dress itself comes from New York designer Houghton's Spring 2015 collection. It's already sold out and out of reach for Kylie's massive online following — for reasons beyond its $1,475 price tag.

Articles instructing readers to "Shop Kylie Jenner's Comfiest Look Yet" by checking out oversized plaid dresses from other retailers immediately popped up to help fill the void in Kylie obsessives' wardrobes.

Designer Katharine Polk also told Cosmo that she decided to bring back the design, since she figured she deserved to profit off of her own dress.

Style: bridesmaid dresses

The dress's original lightweight wool fabric was unavailable and out of the price range for Jenner's young fanbase anyway. So Polk instead created a (more) affordable $450 cotton version, which went on on to be the fastest-selling item in the brand's history. Sure, you can still buy it in a black and white plaid — but that's not what Kylie wore.

Polk never actually intended to harness Kylie's monstrous fanbase. She quickly learned her lesson about the youngest Jenner's influence. "I mean, the dress was loaned to Kendall and Kylie took it," the designer told Cosmo. "So you can read between the lines there."

When four Kardashian/Jenner sister apps — which feature tips on how to cop each sibling's style — debuted on the same day, it was Kylie's that immediately soared to the top of the charts.

There are countless fan blogs dedicated to dressing just like Kylie that predate the apps — Kylies Style, Kyle Fashion Style, Kylie's Closet and Kylie Jenner Style, to name a few. Basically, any combination of the words style, Kylie and Tumblr will get you there.

And of course, need we say anything more about Kylie's remarkable (sometimes concerning) influence than the words "Kylie Jenner lip challenge"?

Polk's designs have been featured in prestigious fashion magazines, like a little publication called Vogue — but she says that Kylie's endorsement did more for her than Anna Wintour's.

The Kylie Jenneration is poised for total world takeover.

Ashish's models take to SKATEBOARDS to showcase his designs... but it proves too much for one woman whose dress slips off

Most models find strutting down the runway in vertiginous heels hard enough, but the women on Ashish's catwalk had an even tougher job on their hands.

The Delhi-born king of sequins, scrunchies, slogans and all things metallic unveiled his spring/summer 16 collection on the final day of London Fashion Week - and asked models to showcase his designs on skateboards.

Models donning sheer dresses, glitter-embellished tutus and slouchy tracksuits skated down the catwalk - but it proved a little too much for one model whose dress slipped down en route.

The blonde model, who wore a peach sequinned dress, had to dismount from her mode of transport due to the fashion faux pas.

His fans include Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry and his previous collections have been inspired by the idea of a 'glamorous walk of shame', so it's no surprise Ashish's latest offering was pretty out there.

With sequins adorning almost every garment, and tracksuits emblazoned with the phrase: 'shut up, shut up,' his spring/summer 16 offering followed a similar theme to his previous collections.

Ashish Gupta first showed at the style celebration in 2005 and went on to win the New Generation award three times.

Born in Delhi, the son of two doctors, he studied Fine Art in India, and then moved to London to complete an MA at Central St Martin’s under Louise Wilson, according to his designer profile.

After graduating in 2000, his plans to work in a Paris design studio were foiled when his bag containing his entire portfolio of work and his cash was stolen at the Gare du Nord.

He quietly began making clothes for friends until being spotted by Yeda Yun, then of Browns Focus, who gave him his first order in 2001.

He is this year celebrating 10 years of showing at London Fashion Week and will be doing a retrospective show as part of the Victoria & Albert museum’s ‘Fashion in Motion’ series in October.

London Fashion Week drew to a close today after an action-packed weekend in the new venue of Soho.

The style set will now move on to Paris and Milan for the city's respective fashion weeks.

And on Sunday, the 31-year-old was a noticeable presence when she attended the Topshop Unique's spring/summer 16 star-studded show.

The British beauty displayed her svelte frame in a stunning navy jumpsuit, which boasted a plunging neckline and overwrap detail, as she arrived at The Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre.

With her brunette tresses swept to the side, the pretty model looked nothing short of glamorous in her outfit choice, which was styled further with chic loafers and a leather bag.

She injected a subtle pop of colour to the proceedings with a rose-tinted lips, while accentuating her striking complexion with well-defined eyes and tinted cheeks.

Mingling with a whole host of stars, Alexa sat on front row with the likes of Anna Wintour, Suki Waterhouse and Cressida Bonas.

Taking to her social media sites, the style star shared a snap of her fellow fashion pals which was simply captioned: ‘Me and my close friends.’

The night before she joined forces with Daisy Lowe as they went along to support their pal Henry Holland at the official House Of Holland show.

She covered her slender frame in a very loose-fitting black dress that hung off her shoulders, held up by two dainty spaghetti straps.

The writer and TV presenter's figure was mostly swathed in the thick fabric of the unique LBD, but she made sure to balance its weight out with her lovely legs on show, and elongated with a pair of vintage-style purple heels with ankle straps.

Her bob-length brunette locks were coiffed into a super-cool style, in tight waves and pushed behind her ears in an effortlessly casual manner.

Other VIPs at the star-studded event included Nicola Roberts, Poppy Delevingne and Nick Grimshaw.

She's been pulling out the sartorial stops for her star-studded appearances at New York Fashion Week.

And Bella Thorne proved once again that she's a style force to be reckoned with at the J Mendel debut on Thursday, donning a sheer pleated dress featuring a navel-baring design.

The 17-year-old actress styled her auburn tresses in a wavy 'do, opting for a double braided headband while seated up front alongside a bevvy of A-list beauties.

J Mendel was treated to quite the turnout, with his front row including Fringe actress Emily Meade, Dancing With the Stars champion Julianne Hough as well as celebrity dermatologist Dr. Lisa Airan.

Bella played up her butterfly-inspired dress, which featured cold cut outs on the sleeves, with delicate gold stilettos.

The Scream star flaunted a youthful glow with her smoky eye shadow tones and mauve lip hue.

She teamed her flirty ensemble with gold hoop earrings and her go-to St. Laurent leather clutch.

Julianne, who was dressed in a cloak and plaid midi, stopped for a quick interview with Extra before being treating to the designer's latest collection featuring vibrant wraps and embellished fabrics.

Bella later took to Instagram, noting her latest display: 'On my way to the @j_mendel show this morning....caught a bit off guard but still like a lady. Loved my dress and the show!'

On Wednesday, Bella was last seen showing off a darker approach with her style cues, taking to the Harper's Bazaar Icons Event in a ruffled mullet dress with leather zip up boots.

Gregg Sulkin, her 23-year-old beau also made an appearance, looking dapper in a fitted suit and dress shoes while staying by his lady's side, even planting a few kisses on her.

Bella later opted for a more revealing look, swapping out her elegant attire for a party-friendly leather crop top which she teamed with light wash denims.

The Teen Choice award-winner was joined by her boyfriend Gregg late into the evening for the Interview Mag party held in NYC.

It's been a busy few days for the lovebirds, considering they've been making back-to-back fashion show appearances, venturing to NYFW's Marchesa debut as well as the Diesel Black Gold show.

Gregg, known for his reoccurring role on Wizards of Waverly Place, took to Instagram about their his and hers styles for the event, writing: 'Two matching leather jackets & one vanilla milkshake to share please sir!"

Meanwhile, Bella has secured herself as one of the most in demand actresses before even hitting her 18th birthday, with seven projects slated for a release within the next year.

Aside from lending her voice to Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip as well as to Ratchet and Clank, she will also star in the tragic drama The Midnight Sun alongside Patrick Schwarzenegger.

It's likely Bella is more than ready for her next red carpet display or movie premiere after visiting some of New York's most popular Spring 2016 releases, including her most recent stop at J Mendel.

Designer J Mendel also took to Instagram regarding his fashion inspiration, writing: '@erinbaiano - effortless beauty in J. Mendel Spring '16 JMendel
