Married At First Sight‘s Evelyn Ellis is the first to admit she’s “bloody proud” of how far she’s come.
Kicking off Paris Fashion Week, the Season 10 bride from Sydney is booked and busy, rubbing shoulders with A-listers and unveiling her boldest looks yet.
But behind every glam shot is a model who was constantly told ‘no’, the 29-year-old revealed.
“I constantly questioned my worth,” said Evelyn as she opened up about confidence and rejection in a moving post with fans.

“Life moves so quickly, and in my industry it’s so easy to get stuck in the ‘what’s next?’ mindset,” Evelyn began in a post on Instagram.
“But moments like this make me pause and think: wow… I’m so bloody proud of myself and so grateful for the community I’ve built here 🥹.”
Evelyn touched down in Paris this week as guest for the L’Oréal Paris runway show.

The star stepped out in a jaw-dropping tailored suit, paired with black heels, a crisp white shirt and one accessory that has fans going wild.
“My tie has never looked better 👔 ❤️❤️,” partner Duncan James revealed in the comments section.
“Look at YOU!! 🔥🔥,” MAFS’ Claire Nomarhas reacted, While Ella Ding wrote: “Obsessed with it all.”
It was a “bucket-list” moment for Evelyn, one that had her looking back on her past.

“I remember back in the days when I wanted to model 😂 and after hundreds of “no’s,” I constantly questioned my worth,” she admitted.
“But I kept going, found my people, discovered my space, and aligned with brands that feel true to me. Most importantly, I did it while staying my weird quirky self.”
Before MAFS, Evelyn was a marketing manager by profession while balancing her growing modelling career.

“What I once thought were setbacks were really redirections to something bigger & better,” Evelyn wrote.
Those ‘bigger and better’ things include adding TV and red carpet presenter to her resume, while creating content for some of the world’s biggest brands.
“It’s the best reminder to trust the journey,” Evelyn added. “Because if I can do it, you can too, whatever your craft may be.”
We take a look back at some of her biggest moments and most daring fashion looks below.
