The champagne was flowing as Australian reality TV royalty turned out in droves on Saturday night to celebrate Daily Mail reporter Ali Daher’s star-studded 35th birthday bash at Dry Martini in Sydney.
But while the cocktails were bubbling, all eyes were firmly locked on two Married At First Sight brides who brought a whole lot more than just party vibes to the room.
MAFS arch-rivals turned accidental partygoers Gia Fleur and Bec Zacharia were almost face-to-face for the first time since their explosive, long-running feud that left fans glued to their screens.
According to insiders, the tension was palpable after the pair suffered an excruciatingly awkward run-in at the airport just prior to the event.
Keeping true to form, the feuding duo intentionally avoided each other all night, keeping their distance at every possible turn as the celeb-heavy crowd partied the night away ahead of a wild after-party at Pelicano in Potts Point from 11pm.
Despite the heavy dose of drama, both women turned heads for completely different reasons.
