Wednesday 29 June 2022 01:45 AM Christian Wilkins: Nine presenter asks 'why is there always a headline' when he ... trends now

Channel Nine presenter Belinda Russell has taken a swipe at the Australian media for its apparent fascination with Christian Wilkins' unique fashion sense.

Christian, who is known for wearing traditionally feminine clothing such as dresses on the red carpet, received Belinda's support on Tuesday after he shared a photo of himself wearing a plunging gown at the Thor: Love and Thunder premiere in Sydney. 

'Oops, I wore a dress again #Pride', the socialite, 26, joked in the caption. 

Belinda commented on his post: 'And when will that not be considered a headline?' 

'Apart from the fact that you always look [fire emoji] which always deserves a headline. Not because you're wearing a dress,' added the Weekend Today host, who works alongside Christian's father, entertainment reporter Richard Wilkins. 

It comes after Christian lashed out at a Twitter troll who criticised him for wearing a dress to the recent TV Week Logie Awards. 

The anonymous user @SaraVic333 tweeted on Tuesday 'it's not normal' for men to wear women's clothes, before adding: 'STOP normalising this bulls**t!!!'

Christian responded on twitter by mocking the way some people react hysterically to men who like to wear dresses. 

'What is happening to the world!!!! Masculinity is ending!!! Burn everything!!' he tweeted to rapturous support from his Twitter followers.
