She's the Sunrise presenter not often praised for her fashion choices on the red carpet.

Yet at this year's 89th Academy Awards, Edwina Bartholomew simply stunned in a gorgeous off-the-shoulder red gown designed by Cappelleza Couture.

The 33-year-old showcased her trim physique as the dress clung to her curves to perfection.





The blonde beauty wore her long locks out scraped away from her face and kept her makeup relatively low key and accessories to a minimum, letting the dress do the talking.

Her fans were undoubtedly impressed as she uploaded the image to her Instagram account, which saw a flood of positive comments come through.

'Stunning' 'amazing' and 'fantastic' were some of the words used to decribe her look as one user cheekily wrote: ' Looking good, better than the vajayjay dress!'



The 'vajayjay dress' in question was a Rachel Gilbert ice blue gown.

After posting images of her outfit to social media the Sunrise reporter left her followers bemused, thanks to the unusual detailing at the front of the outfit.

One Instagram user asked: 'Nice but why is there a uterus on your dress?'



And on Facebook one commentator wrote: 'Your face and body are to die for.... But, sorry, the thing on the dress looks like a part of a female anatomy. I know I am not the only person thinking this....'

Edwina's ensemble consisted of a crepe skirt with what is described on the designer's website as 'a silk gazar sculptured detail' - which caught the eye of social media users.

The Australian designer of the outfit, Rachel Gilbert, is known for creating intricate hand embellished designs for event wear as well as bridalwear.

Edwina shortly responded to what she has now coined 'Vajayjaygate'.



Speaking to Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson on their KIIS FM radio show, she said: 'Hahaha I did know they might call it "the vagina dress" and I still wore it anyway!'

She also took to Twitter to make light of the situation.

'Vajayjaygate. Lucky I didn't put it in the middle,' she wrote to her fans.
