Radio star Lauren Phillips followed the fashion rules on Thursday when she stepped out for Crown Oaks Day at Flemington Racecourse.
The Nova FM breakfast presenter, 37, has been experimenting with her style lately, leaning towards sexy, preppy dresses that reach her chest or graze her thighs.
But for ‘Ladies Day’ at the Melbourne Cup Carnival, Lauren played it safe in a linen dress with puffed sleeves that fell to her ankles and cinched her waist.
The Oaks Day dress code is feminine and elegant, focusing on spring styles and shapes.
Style guides recommend soft colors like pastels, pinks and sky blues like the one Lauren wore.
“You can also choose bold prints with blooming flowers,” according to Australian fashion designer Sacha Drake, who also noted that “delicate fabrics like silk and chiffon are in.”
Lauren accessorized her sweetheart neckline with a delicate diamond choker and silver jewelry that complemented her baby blue dress.
She finished the look with a pair of nude strappy heels and a touch of pastel pink nail polish painted on her toes.

Compared to the vibrant, bold looks Lauren has worn during the Melbourne Cup and her recent racing-themed Stellar cover, the Nova presenter’s Ladies Day look paled in comparison, but still ticked the box.
Lauren attended the song with her radio co-hosts Jason ‘Jase’ Hawkins’ and Clint Stanaway and posed for a demure portrait with her colleagues in the afternoon sun.
Jase wore a dark navy suit and white shirt, with a floral pocket square that gave a subtle nod to the day’s theme, while Clint accented it in a lavender linen suit paired with a striking floral-print tie and a pastel pink corsage.
Lauren’s looks for Oak Day and Derby Day were day and night, and the radio host revealed on Instagram that she enlisted the help of a stylist friend for the latter.
“So lucky that one of my best friends in the whole world is one of the best stylists in the world and pulled this off (at the last minute when I was in an absolute panic),” she captioned some glam. photographs taken before the fun began.
Melbourne radio pals Lauren and Carrie Bickmore looked like they were having the time of their lives together on Derby Day on Saturday.
Lauren opted for a more revealing low-cut black dress on Derby day. She is seen shamelessly flipping the bird in the cage with Carrie Bickmore.
The radio rivals exuded glamor and style as they laughed and entered the exclusive event together.
At one point, the pair were seen making a risqué video and turned the bird towards their phone camera.
Fox FM presenter Carrie, 43, went braless and put her figure in a skin-tight long white dress.
Her stunning outfit included a daring plunging bust, which provided an intimate view of her cleavage.
She accessorized with a black headdress that matched her high heels and designer clutch.
Meanwhile, Lauren perfectly complemented Carrie’s white outfit with a striking jet black dress, which showed off her ample assets.
Lauren’s stunning dress featured a thigh-high slit that also showed off her long, slim legs.
