A Moment In The Spotlight:
How A Bonita Couture Dress Was On Stage At Carols By Candlelight
Carols by Candlelight is a well-loved Australian Christmas tradition. We gather to watch in person or on the television and soak up the joy, incredible singing and of course the special appearance from Santa Claus.
What’s also memorable from the night are all the gorgeous gowns worn by the performers. Georgina Hopson, who is now touring Australia as the lead in the musical Anastasia is one of these performers.
On the night where she sung Hark the Herald Angels at Carols by Candlelight, she wore a tailor-made vibrant red gown by Bonita Couture.
This magical pairing came about when Channel Nine, who broadcasts Carols by Candlelight, specifically approached Elide from Bonita Couture and asked her to design and make this dress. Elide did more than deliver.
She wowed audiences across the country, managing to match a stunning dress to a stunning performance.
Walking The Runway:
A Bonita Couture Dress Made An Appearance At Miss Europe Continental Contest
Zana Pali holds the title of Miss Europe Continental Australia for 2025, carrying this title she represents Australia proudly. Attended the Miss Europe Continental Contest in Italy, the dress she wore was just as important as her walk along the runway.
Knowing this, she came to Elide from Bonita Couture and personally asked her to design and create a dress worthy of such a contest.
Together, through inspiration from Zana and expertise from Elide, they created the perfect gown. Although she didn’t receive the crown title, she placed within the top twenty at this worldwide competition.
Notably and impressively, she was the first ever mother in the global competition. Wearing a Bonita Couture gown, standing tall on the international runway as the first ever mother, is a moment worthy of ever diamond hand stitched into this dress.
