A smaller version of the silk bow by Nerida Winter retails for $695.
‘All about pretty details on Oaks, love this bow,’ she captioned a photo on Instagram, adding: ‘Oaks Day ready @flemingtonvrc I am excited to be on track today to announce the winner of the @myer Fashions On The Front Lawn competition, I have loved judging all the fashions this year.’

Appearing on Studio 10 hours before the event, Nadia revealed she actually was a little behind on her prep.
She told hosts Sarah Harris and Tristan MacManus: ‘I actually don’t have my outfit yet, typical COVID issues at the moment, but Oaks Day is all about the florals, pretty and pinks, and hopefully it’s going to be arriving soon.’
‘I think there will be a little bit of pink to it,’ she hinted.

Oaks Day marks the first time Nadia has set foot at Flemington Racecourse this Spring Racing Season due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Nadia was a regular at the various race days last year, and was a ray of sunshine at 2019’s Oaks Day in a zesty yellow outfit.
She added to her bright look last year with an over-sized, wide brim hat, which were seen on catwalk icons and WAGs alike as a standout accessory of the season.
