Ariarne Titmus put in a glamorous appearance at the Magic Millions Race Day on Queensland’s Gold Coast on Saturday. 

The Australian swimmer stunned in a pink, strapless gown with a bold red floral design. 

The 24-year-old added a matching cap with a mesh veil as well as a pair of strappy white heels. 

Ariarne carried a while designer purse with a gold chain strap and had on a pair of dainty earrings. 

She also had on a gold bracelet and ring, otherwise keeping her accessories light for the occasion. 

The athlete opted for a clean and bright makeup palette with a red lipstick and a wash of rosy blush, while wearing her blonde hair partially up.

Last week, Ariarne was named as Channel Nine’s newest tennis commentator alongside Aussie canoeist Jessica Fox for the Australian Open. 

The decision raised eyebrows among fans considering they have no experience covering tennis, but Ariarne appeared unfazed during filming. 

She is following in the footsteps of her father, Channel 7 newsreader Stephen Titmus, as she turns to presenting while taking a year-long break out of the swimming pool.

Tennis fans were surprised to learn Channel Nine had signed up Ariarne and Olympic canoeist Jessica as part of the network’s 2025 Australian Open coverage.

The duo are looking to provide colour for viewers from Melbourne Park and Ariarne told how she is excited to get out of her comfort zone with the new gig.

‘I have always been a tennis fan and having the chance to be at the Australian Open in this capacity is very exciting,’ she told News Corp.

‘The AO encompasses Australian culture and our love for sport as a nation. It will be a new and challenging experience being on the other end of the mic, but one I am very grateful for.

‘I’m [also] looking forward to working alongside a great team and broadening my skills outside of the pool.’

Ariarne won gold in the women’s 400m freestyle and the 4x200m freestyle relay at the 2024 Paris Olympics, but is now broadening her skills away from the pool. 

The world’s top tennis professionals have flocked to Melbourne for the Australian Open grand slam, which is set to officially kick off on Sunday.

The current world number one Aryna Sabalenka is the hot favourite to take home the women’s crown, defending the title she won in 2023 and 2024.

While former world champion Ash Barty tipped Aryna for huge success this time around, but also believes American Coco Gauff and China’s Zheng Qinwen could be in the running.

‘One of the top traits she has developed is great consistency,’ she told The Age.

‘Plus, the Australian Open naturally suits her. Aryna is now very comfortable playing in the latter stages of slams, fitted with the right temperament.’

However, Ash picked a first-time winner to take home the title at the world-famous tennis tournament. 

‘But who’s my tip to win? I’ve settled on the world No.6 and former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina,’ she went on.
