Nathan Buckley's girlfriend Alex Pike exposes her hair extensions in Melbourne

Football WAG Alex Pike inadvertently showed off her hair extensions as she stepped out in Melbourne on Thursday. 

The girlfriend of outgoing Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley was visiting her beau when she took off her baseball cap, leaving her extensions tape exposed.

The registered nurse and mother of three, 44, seemed oblivious to the mishap as she adjusted her cap after leaving her 48-year-old boyfriend’s apartment.

Oops! Football WAG Alex Pike inadvertently showed off her hair extensions as she stepped out in Melbourne on Thursday

As she tilted her head forward, Alex’s long brunette hair shifted, leaving the tape from her hair extensions momentarily visible. 

But she quickly covered it up as she put her white baseball cap back on.

Having visible hair tape is a common beauty faux pas that happens to the best of us, and Thursday was a rare misstep for the otherwise perfectly primped Ms Pike.

Alex’s visit to Nathan’s home came just days after he stepped down as coach of Collingwood halfway through his 10th AFL season.

She looked effortlessly chic as she showed off her plump pout and lengthy hair extensions while dressed in activewear.

Alex flaunted a glimpse of her toned midriff in a red Champion hoodie and black leggings, which she teamed with a pair of black sneakers.  

She complemented her casual look with a grey LA Dodgers cap, and carried an umbrella under her arm.

Alex wore lashings of makeup on her taut visage, including mascara, bronzer and a matte red lipstick which accentuated her enhanced pout.

Her brunette locks were styled in a gentle wave and cascaded down her shoulders as she endured the miserable Victoria weather. 

After leaving Nathan’s pad, Alex was joined by a female friend for a brief stroll.

Under Melbourne’s strict lockdown laws, Alex was permitted to visit her boyfriend because he is her ‘intimate partner’.

She was also seen wearing a mask, but briefly took it off for a stroll through a nearby park.

Alex and Nathan, who have known each other since at least the start of the year, were pictured together for the first time last month.
