Sydney's social calendar is about to get a whole lot more glamorous—and furrier. Prepare for an event already being hailed as "The Met Gala for Dogs" as the inaugural Double Bay Festive Fashion Pawrade arrives in the city's east.
Mark your diaries! On Sunday, November 30, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, Guilfoyle Park in Double Bay—the heart of the Eastern Suburbs—will be transformed into a dazzling runway. This brand-new community fixture is set to bring together Sydney’s most stylish pups, their devoted owners, and local personalities for a joyful, visually spectacular day, all while proudly supporting RSPCA NSW.
A Dog Fashion Show Like No Other
Forget your standard pet costume parade; this is about high canine couture. Guests can expect a runway filled with four-legged fashionistas sporting genuinely couture-inspired outfits. Think miniature Chanel-style tweeds, perfect Miu Miu bows, delicate Dior florals, and festive ensembles dripping in holiday glam.
The main attraction is the highly anticipated Dog Fashion Runway, where pups of all shapes, breeds, and personalities will compete for top honours. Judging the fierce competition is a high-profile panel, including:
- Martine Chippendale – Star of The Real Housewives of Sydney
- Melissa Hoyer – Renowned Fashion & Lifestyle Commentator
What makes the Pawrade truly special is its noble purpose. The event is a critical fundraiser for RSPCA NSW, helping to generate much-needed funds and awareness to support neglected, abandoned, and surrendered animals across the state. Every ticket sold helps give a second chance to an animal in need.
