Nadia Bartel’s stunning Oaks Day outfit leaves fans in awe

The former WAG and race day ambassador has stepped out in a stunning Oaks Day outfit – but one detail has left people very excited.

Nadia Bartel has done it again – this time stunning with a gorgeous white ensemble for Kennedy Oaks Day.

The former WAG and mum-of-two got dressed up for the second time this week and headed to Flemington Racecourse to announce the winner of Myer’s Fashions on the Front Lawn competition.

The 35-year-old, who is a Melbourne Cup ambassador, took to her social media to reveal her spring fashion look – and caused a flurry of excitement in the process.

Wearing a $299 ivory ruched midi dress by Misha that featured short puffy sleeves, Nadia glowed as she posed for the camera.

She finished her glamorous look with a pair of “Anna” heels from celebrity stylist Lana Wilkinson which retail for $259.95.

But it was the Nerida Winter soft pink bow in her loosely pulled back hair that sparked mass interest among her followers.

“I need that pink bow,” one fan wrote.

“AWWWWW THAT BOW!!! Yesssssss,” another added, while others described it as “divine”, “beautiful” and “hot”.

In a video posted on her Instagram, Nadia said she was looking forward to revealing the winner of the coveted fashion prize, which had taken on a different format in 2020 as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

“I have loved judging all the fashions this year,” she said.

Former Miss Universe Australia winner Olivia wore a full-length dress by Australian fashion label, Elliatt, that featured a ruffle thigh split.

Her striking headpiece is from Lady of Leisure Millinery, while her matching purple makeup was done by Nicole Aquilina – the same make-up artist behind her orange-inspired Melbourne Cup look.

“YEEESSSSSSSSS THIS IS YOUR COLOUR!,” one fan commented on her Instagram post.

“Oh my god, that eye shadow,” added another.

Meanwhile, Crystal went for a button-up purple top and skirt with a matching hat – which was in stark contrast to her mellow yellow one shoulder dress she wore on Tuesday.

Model Tegan Martin had a similar look to Nadia, opting for a white, lace dress and soft pink head piece – a Ford Millinery hat that she left hanging by its string around her neck.

On Tuesday, Nadia chose a metallic blue dress from Viktoria Novak that she teamed with a pair of nude heels and a blue jewelled headband from Atoir for her Melbourne Cup look.

Her good friend Rebecca Judd also impressed with her race day outfit, wearing an off-the-shoulder mini dress by Cappellazzo Couture which featured puff sleeves and a stylish ruched bodice.

The 37-year-old mum-of-four also chose a pair of shoes from Lana Wilkinson, a pair of transparent heels with stud detailing, those these are not yet on sale.

Lana told news.com.au ahead of the Melbourne Cup festivities that headpieces and footwear would be “paired back” this year as people opt for easy and comfortable headwear as they emerge from lockdown.

“Flats have been selling extremely well – the Kylie in black has sold out and the white version isn’t far behind,” the shoe designer said.

“This is an indication that people are looking for something elevated but still comfortable, given that they will be at their favourite restaurants or parks.”
