Wearing a burnt orange dress by Elliatt, she had a bejwelled hair clip fixed in the side of her brunette locks, a popular trend this racing season.
Meanwhile, Woman’s Day recently claimed that Samantha has been ‘secretly dating’ aviation tycoon Paul for several months now.
Paul, who is believed to be worth millions, was previously married to Brisbane-based Ten Eyewitness News presenter Georgina Lewis, but they separated earlier this year.
Samantha and Paul were allegedly spotted having breakfast together during the AFL Grand Final weekend last month at the Crystal Club at Crown Towers, Melbourne.
‘They looked very happy together at Crown,’ a source told the magazine.

She was also spotted walking her dog with Paul in Sydney in March this year.
In an interview with Who back in June, the breakfast TV star was directly asked if she was seeing anyone.
‘There are good things happening… I don’t talk about anyone before I’m 100 per cent sure, because you have got to keep some things private,’ Samantha replied.
