7Bravo, the free-to-air and digital partnership between NBCUniversal International Networks & Direct-to-Consumer and the Seven Network, today announced Australian television personality Bella Varelis as the channel’s new local host and face of iconic Live From E! red carpet events in Australia.

Having been a “Friend of 7Bravo” since February 2023 and familiar face on Australian television, Varelis will now be front and centre at Australia’s biggest awards shows and fashion events, showcasing all the red-carpet glamour and hosting celebrity interviews with Live From E! on 7Bravo. She will also continue to bring audiences trusted beauty tips and tricks with her digital mini-series Bella Beauty.

Combining my love for both fashion and beauty, I’ll be bringing Australian audiences exclusives, direct from the red carpet with Live From E! and essential beauty tips on Bella Beauty. I’m beyond excited; it’s going to be an incredible year of entertainment, glamour, style and magical moments.”

After two years as the host of 7Bravo, Lucia Hawley is departing the role at the end of this year to explore other opportunities. As 7Bravo’s first local host, Lucia has been a prominent presence at many of the most exclusive events in the country.
