Oaks Day 2018: All the Fashion highs and lows from Oaks Day 2018
THE stunning model is celebrating her final official paid appearance as a Myer ambassador at the Oaks Day races today.
The Spring Racing Carnival rolls on in Melbourne today, with the sun shining on Oaks Day.
Oaks Day is traditionally “Ladies Day” and nobody is quite sure what this means exactly.

GENERAL ADMISSION LEGENDS
First up, let’s admire the neck-strength shown by this lady. That is like balancing a bowling ball on a toothpick. She could get a gig at Cirque du Soleil with those skills.
STOP PRESS: There’s two of them:
The look below is a little bit Priscilla Queen of the Dessert goes to the track and we approve.
This could be some kind of Movember shout-out, or just fancy dress. Either way, it seems “go bold or go home” is the order of the day for these two:
