Candice Warner’s glamorous transformation as ‘toilet tryst’ with Sonny Bill Williams makes headlines

Candice Warner will open up the history books to reflect upon her infamous 2007 ‘toilet tryst’ with NRL star Sonny Bill Williams in an upcoming episode of SAS Australia.  

And the former Ironwoman, 35, has certainly come a long way since she and Sonny Bill were photographed in a compromising position inside a nightclub toilet 13 years ago. 

Candice, who will admit she ‘isn’t proud’ of her ‘toilet tryst’ in an interrogation scene on SAS Australia, spent her formative years dressing in a similarly regrettable fashion.

Thankfully, the mother-of-three has since blossomed into one of Australia’s most glamorous and well-heeled WAGs.    

In the years since her encounter with Sonny Bill, Candice has bid farewell to orange spray-tans and garish red-carpet ensembles in favour of a more refined, elegant look. 

The wife of cricketer David Warner, whose maiden name is Falzon, began her foray into red carpet style in the early 2000s following her triumph in the NSW state Iron Woman champion, at age 16.

In 2004, a bronzed Candice attended a swanky Virgin Atlantic event in Sydney wearing a pair of bootleg jeans and a sheer blue kaftan.

The ensemble was complete with a series of mismatched accessories, including a pair of OTT drop earrings and a brightly patterned Louis Vuitton handbag. 

She also sported a pop of green eye-shadow that stood out with her deeply bronzed complexion, while throwing her hair back into a no-frills ponytail.

Her brunette mane streaked with blonde highlights was pulled back into a youthful half-up-half-down style for the occasion.

Despite her penchant for trousers, Candice did sport the occasional frock on the red carpet during 2004.

In April, she attended a 2Day FM party wearing a rather distinct ensemble consisting of a plunging orange silk mini-dress with a drop-waist and clashing red heels.  

Candice’s drop-waist fascination continued into 2005, with the sportswoman donning a filly pink frock to the world premiere of Three Dollars in Sydney.

The number was complete with a high neckline, creme sash and floppy frilled midi-length hem.

Back with a vengeance! The drop-waist was also favoured in 2005 when Candice attended a Mercedes Australian Fashion Week event

The addition of gold accessories (including an evening bag, bangles and sandal heels) gave the outfit a costume-like air.

The drop-waist was also favoured in 2005 when Candice attended a Mercedes Australian Fashion Week event.

Despite the trendy occasion, Candice chose to wear a rather corporate look, complete with a cocoon-neck blouse, loose-fitting pleated skirt and quiff-fringe hairstyle.

Best to forget: The drop waist once again featured as a trend in 2006 at the Stars Behind Bars event in Sydney

With her gaudy gowns firmly in the past, she put on yet another stylish display in December 2018 when she attended the The Athlete’s Foot Breakfast in a chic striped shirt-dress with stylish frill sleeves. 

She kept her accessories understated, choosing to wear a pair of black velvet mules, a singlet bangle and a black sports watch. 

Candice swept her her dark blonde mane back into a slick ponytail and enhanced off her naturally-flawless complexion with a light application of dewy-looking makeup.

A year later, Candice dropped jaws yet again as she arrived at the Cricket Australia Awards on the arm of her husband. 

She and David looked every inch the king and queen of cricket as they posed in matching monochrome outfits – with Candice sizzling in a white off-shoulder gown and David donning a smart white tuxedo, black trousers and a matching bow-tie. 

Candice and David married in 2015 and have three daughters, Ivy, five, Indi, four, and Isla, one.
