The Everest: Sam Armytage stuns with husband Richard Lavender

She recently announced her role at Channel Seven as a marquee racing reporter.

And seasoned race-attendee Samantha Armytage stepped out dressed to the nines at Everest Day at the Royal Randwick Racecourse on Saturday.

The 45-year-old brought her husband Richard Lavender along as her date for the star-studded event.

Sam wore a dark navy blue shift dress which stopped at her knees. 

To accessorise, she donned pearl earrings, a pair of nude strappy feels, and a matching nude clutch.

Sam’s toenails were painted red, while her fingers were a nude shade. She eased herself into the racing season by donning a natural makeup look. 

Her blonde locks were blow-dried straight and hung loosely over her shoulders while being held back by a subtle gold headband. 

And Richard, 60, was every bit the happy man as he walked alongside his wife of 10 months.

He looked dapper in a grey suit, with a blue shirt and tie combo which complimented Sam’s outfit. 

Sam was beaming as she made her way to the race course to meet fellow racing enthusiast Kate Waterhouse. 

Kate, 37, donned an all-white ensemble and added a pop of colour to her outfit with some lavender  heels.

The Sydney socialite also had a Channel Seven microphone in hand ahead of hosting duties on the big day.
