And they are finished! Pia Whitesell steals the show as she joins Samantha Armytage and a string of stars on Queen Elizabeth Stakes Day – but some are missing the fashion mark
Samantha Armytage led the red carpet arrivals at the Longines Queen Elizabeth Stakes Day at Royal Randwick on Saturday.
The former host of Sunrise, 46, stepped out in a classic navy outfit and eye-catching beret to watch the $5 million racetrack.
Samantha joined a host of stars at the event, including former Home and Away star Pia Whitesell, racing queen Kate Waterhouse and cricket couple Steve Smith and Dani Willis.
Other famous faces at the event included Nikki Phillips, Cameron Robbie and celebrity trainer Jono Castano and his model girlfriend Simone Holtznagel.
Some stars and racing ambassadors pushed the boundaries of fashion that day, sporting rather bizarre and eye-catching headgear.

Samantha, who is now the host of Farmer Wants a Wife, wore a navy silk blouse with a high-waisted, thigh-slit navy skirt.
She added length to her frame with Dior slingback heels, worth a cool $1,490, wore a navy blue padded beret and chunky gold earrings.
Samantha knows a thing or two about the racing industry as her husband Richard Lavender is a millionaire equestrian businessman.
