Erin Molan rules the red carpet at the Dally M Awards four months after giving birth

The Dally M Awards may be a night to celebrate the NRL elite, but they're also a chance for a glamorous show. 

And at tonight's event it was Nine News journalist and NRL Footy Show host Erin Molan who took out top honours in the style stakes in her first red carpet appearance since the birth of her first child in June.

Four months after welcoming daughter Eliza to the world, 35-year-old Molan stunned at the Dally Ms in a black gown by designer Daniel Avakian.

With a one-shoulder neckline and an asymmetrical train, the custom-made gown was the perfect outfit choice.

Accessories from Ryan Storer and Versace, a slicked back hairdo and glowing beauty look added to the high-voltage aesthetic.
