The celebrity set are back at Flemington Racecourse for Crown Oaks Day today, after launching the event at a fancy lunch yesterday.

The celebrity set are back at Flemington Racecourse for Crown Oaks Day today, after launching the event at a fancy lunch yesterday. Myer ambassador Jennifer Hawkins looked divine in a floral headpiece by Flowers by Fleur, while fellow Myer ambassador Rebecca Judd wore Melissa Jackson millinery. Both celebrity stunners wore their hair in loose, beachy waves, and kept their nails relatively neutral — a huge trend for Spring. Delta Goodrem and Mischa Barton both went for bold lip looks at yesterday's luncheon, Delta for one proving the vampy lip need not be saved for Winter.

2012 Melbourne Cup Day: Ashley Madekwe

Not only is British beauty Ashley Madekwe an accomplished actress (have you seen her turn on the evil eye on in Revenge?), she also knows a thing or two about good hair accessories!

Not only is British beauty Ashley Madekwe an accomplished actress (have you seen her turn on the evil eye on in Revenge?), she also knows a thing or two about good hair accessories! We have been gushing over her starfish diamante headband, and love that she kept it simple with a side part and simple up 'do. She's rocking thick, black gel eyeliner on her top lids only, which makes for a really clean and sharp beauty look. Do you agree?

2012 Melbourne Cup Day: Delta Goodrem

Wearing what looks to be real wreath of flowers in her hair, Delta Goodrem really does look like a child of the universe!

Wearing what looks to be real wreath of flowers in her hair, Delta Goodrem really does look like a child of the universe! We love her nod to the blue eye makeup look we saw all over the recent international runways, and her matte, pink lip complements her dark eyes really well. Delta has lost some length off her hair — but she's looks as gorgeous as ever with brushed out curls and very long, defined lashes. Love it or leave it, ladies and gents?

2012 Melbourne Cup Day: Sophie Monk

With stunning makeup by Napoleon Perdis, Sophie Monk has gone for a very chic, old Hollywood glamour beauty look at Melbourne Cup.

With stunning makeup by Napoleon Perdis, Sophie Monk has gone for a very chic, old Hollywood glamour beauty look at Melbourne Cup. We love her jewelled headpiece, but it is her up 'do we're all talking about! Her long, braided bun is something we haven't seen today, but it's also a very fresh look for the singer turned actress. What do you think?

2012 Melbourne Cup Day: Jesinta Campbell

We have to admit, Jesinta surprised us with her pink turban!

We have to admit, Jesinta surprised us with her pink turban! It's a very daring look for the reality TV starlet, but we think she pulls it off by tying-in a pastel pink lip (just FYI, it's YSL 38 Rouge Pur Couture). Her long locks are set in finger waves, and her makeup artist Michael Brown used the same trick as Rebecca Judd to make her eyes pop — a hint of silver at the inner corners. Definitely one to try at home. Love it?

2012 Melbourne Cup Day: Rose Byrne

Oh Rose Byrne, you darling.

Oh Rose Byrne, you darling. Looking as sweet as pie with a voluminous '60s-esque blow dry and black and white flower hairpiece, the Bridesmaids star can do no wrong in our book. Her skin is luminous and dewy, and she's wearing a very subtle glossy peach lip. Her eye look is equally demure, with a lick of black liner and mascara applied to the top lid only. It's a signature beauty look for the star. You know what they say, if it ain't broke...

2012 Melbourne Cup Day: Melanie Vallejo

Winners and Losers star Melanie Vallejo has a bright lip for Melbourne Cup!

Winners and Losers star Melanie Vallejo has a bright lip for Melbourne Cup! All the ladies we've seen so far have kept it natural and nude, so you can imagine our excitement to see a bold pink on Melanie. Her eye makeup is metallic brown — a key trend for today — and her hair swept up in a neat but still natural-looking up 'do. We love, do you?

2012 Melbourne Cup Day: Jessica McNamee

We first fell in love with her on Packed to the Rafters, and we think Jessica McNamee looks as cute as a button at Melbourne Cup Day.

We first fell in love with her on Packed to the Rafters, and we think Jessica McNamee looks as cute as a button at Melbourne Cup Day. Wearing a very Lady Gaga-esque hair bow, we think her approach to the big day is very fun. Rocking gold eyeshadow and rosy cheeks, Jessica also kept her lips nude but had a glossy finish. Love or leave?
