Oaks Day 2017: Rachael Finch heads up celebrity arrivals

It may not be as famous as the Melbourne Cup but Oaks Day still attracts stars flaunting their style credentials.

And leading the fashion pack at Flemington Racecourse on Thursday was former Miss Universe Australia Rachael Finch who dazzled in an off-the-shoulder floral ensemble.

The brunette bombshell also debuted a freshly cut fringe to the event and topped off her hairstyle by adding a black fabric headband.

The  29-year-old kept her hair tied back to show off her new style and bare some skin in the low-cut number.

Rachael’s long-sleeved flowing frock featured various shades of pink in the feminine pattern while its hemline dropped to the ankles. 

At the waist, maroon sphere-shaped embellishments were a extra detail.

To match her headband Rachael went for strappy black heels and avoided any statement jewellery to distract from the look.

The star made her eyes the main attraction of her makeup palette as she selected a light brown shade for her eyelids as well as a generous lashing of black mascara.

Meanwhile, she kept her pout looking glossy and natural, choosing a nude shade for the occasion.

Ever stylish Jennifer Hawkins effused beauty in an angelic white off-the-shoulder ensemble as she arrived at the venue.

Her slim figure was accentuated by the dress which clung to her slender frame and a daring thigh-split showcased her tanned and trim pins.

Sticking with the colour scheme, the Myer ambassador styled her wavy blonde locks with a white headband.
