GEELONG model and Home and Away star Esther Anderson has been named the face of the Decjuba Girls Day Out race day at Flemington.
The event, featuring the Makybe Diva Stakes, marks the first of the race days on Flemington’s Spring Racing calendar.
Anderson has been a fan favourite since arriving in Summer Bay as Constable Charlie Buckton on the popular soapie.
She’s no novice when it comes to fashion, having seen much of the world thanks to her time working as a model throughout Asia and Europe.
The 29-year-old, who spends most of her days on set in her police uniform, said she was looking forward to the chance to put on some heels,
“My character Charlie on Home and Away wears a uniform, so I am looking forward to heading back to my hometown for the carnival and frocking up,” she said.
The former Belmont High student’s ambassador role will mean attending the Flemington Spring Fashion Lunch, along with a number of Melbourne Cup functions throughout the spring racing carnival. The fashion launch lunch is an official event of Melbourne Spring Fashion Week.
Watch out for the special spring racing edition of GT on Friday, September 26, jam-packed with the latest in fashions and a survival guide for getting through a day at the races.

Eva Herzigova and Liz Hurley went to head-to-head on the red carpet in Venice last night at the world premiere of Valentino: The Last Emperor in Venice.
With all-out glamour the order of the day, a host of Hollywood stars had turned out for the fashionable event, including Diane Kruger, Claire Danes and Charlize Theron but it was Eva and Liz who stole the limelight in two very revealing gowns.
The film itself is an intimate look at the life of Valentino, who retired from the world of couture earlier this year.
Fittingly many of his guests at the premiere and, later, at an exclusive after-party at the Guggenheim Museum, were wearing Valentino. However, when asked who wore his designs the best, Valentino saved his praise for the one star not in attendance: Julia Roberts.
‘I have to be very sincere, the person that makes me feel very happy, also because [she] chose vintage, was Julia Roberts, when she got the Academy Award,’ he admitted. ‘I was very excited to see her when she appeared with my dress. It’s very important for stars to like your clothes.’

Kate Moss has caused upset in her small Oxfordshire hamlet by erecting 2 giant teepees in her garden.
Neighbours claim the 15ft tents spoil their view of the Cotswold Hills.
‘We have had an email complaining about the teepees and asking if they require permission,’ a local planning officer tells the Daily Express.
‘Our investigating officer will visit as soon as possible to establish the situation.’
Kate, 34, is said to have brought the tents for ?4,000 from the Cornbury Music Festival. And it’s sparked speculation she may want them for a wedding to boyfriend Jamie Hince, 39.
‘It’s perfectly legal to put up a marquee in your back garden for a wedding,’ the official adds.

Jennifer Hawkins and Megan Gale watch out.
There’s a new model on the catwalk and she’s from Bolwarra.
The 14-year-old schoolgirl, Taylor Davies, has an opportunity most girls would kill for.
Taylor has been picked by fashion designer Alex Perry to model in his runway show tonight at Monte Pio.
Liza’s of Lorn Designer Boutique owner and event organiser Rebecca Daines says Taylor was chosen along with five other girls from Newcastle from a group of 15 and is the only Maitland girl in the show.
Taylor has not modelled before but was excited and nervous about her debut.
“I’ve been practicing walking up and down the hallway,” the Year 8 student said.
The fashion-conscious teenager looks forward to meeting Perry, who is one of her idols.
“I can’t wait to meet him. I’ve seen him on TV.”
Taylor said she had not considered a career in modelling but it was now something she might pursue.
“It will be a lot of fun,” she said.
Rebecca said Taylor would be trained one-on-one by Perry.
“He will chose outfits that best suit Taylor.”
Taylor and five models from Paradox Model Management in Newcastle will parade with seven models from Chic Management in Sydney to show clothes from Perry’s Safari Princess Spring Summer ‘08/’09 Collection.
The runway show will raise funds for the McGrath Foundation.

IT wasn’t quite stacking it down the stairs or exposing a G-string, but Jennifer Hawkins wouldn’t be Hawko without just one customary fashion faux pas.
The revolving circular stage proved a tad tricky for the Myer maven during the retail giant’s fashion show finale last night, causing Hawkins to twist her heel and briefly lose her balance as she left the catwalk.
And despite displaying a taut and toned bod which would have made David Beckham envious, Mr Myer, Jake Wall, appeared to have traded his model hat for that of burgeoning film star - fidgeting nervously and looking downwards as he hit the runway sans shirt.
However, it was the night that Hawkins got down to business - and she did have extra reason to be nervous.
Not only was she launching the Myer Spring/Summer Collection - but also debuting her fashion label, writes Jen Melocco, Fashion Editor.
The former Miss Universe, model and TV presenter is now hoping to add budding designer to her burgeoning CV with the unveiling of Cozi by Jennifer Hawkins.
“I was nervous but there was also an adrenalin rush,” Hawkins said after the launch at the Entertainment Quarter last night.
Hawkins was simply stunning when she modelled a Mad Cortes marble print maxi gown, created by Sydney mum of toddler twins Mira Vukovic.
But Hawkins didn’t let the chance to mix business with pleasure slip by - strutting the catwalk in bold bikinis she helped create and that range in price from $49.95 to $129.
“I really wanted bold colours and yellow is just a colour I associate with summer,” she said of the bikinis.
In a fitting finale, Hawkins turned heads in a stunning hot red corsetted Camilla & marc gown.
After one of the toughest winters in retail, which saw Myer going into sale mode a month early, the department store hosted a superb but smaller scale show compared with past spectaculars.
Also on show last night were latest designs by Leona Edmiston, Wayne Cooper, Bettina Liano and Toni Maticevski.
And for one last look at Hawko’s famous wardrodbe malfunctions, check the below video.

Is the uber highest paid supermodel-out-there Gisele Bündchen moving to Los Angeles? TMZ seems to think so as they have obtained documents that her boyfriend, NFL New England Patriots star Tom Brady, has bought an $11 million 3-acre property (no house, just land) on Arnold Schwarzenegger’s street in Brentwood.
But so far, Bündchen is often seen with Brady when he visits New York City. It’s not like he’s gotten her to move in with her to the New England area. Reportedly, the LA move is to get closer to his kid and ex-wife, actor Bridget Moynahan. Brady is originally from Northern California.

While Alice Dellal received widespread public attention when she dated Princess Caroline of Monaco’s son Pierre Casiraghi, the stunning 20-year-old is clearly leaving behind the tag of ‘former royal girlfriend’ and forging ahead with her modelling career.
Alice’s edgy style and stunning looks have helped the blonde beauty land her highest profile job to date - presenting the latest collection for High Street store Mango in its new advertising campaign.
The stunning shots show Alice - who fashion pundits have pegged as a contender to snatch Agyness Deyn’s model-of-the-moment crown - in a number of outfits from the brand’s autumn/winter collection which is inspired by a romantic punk theme.
In fronting the campaign Alice joins famous faces from the A list, including Penelope Cruz and American catwalk star and actress Lauren Hutton.

Giving birth to her first baby on Sunday, August 24, Alessandra Ambrosio is wasting no time to cash in on her infant’s pictures. It’s been claimed that the Victoria’s Secret angel is attempting to sell the first pictures of her newborn daughter, Anja Louise Ambrosio Mazur, to several weekly publications in the U.S.
The New York Post broke the news Tuesday, August 26. It even quoted a source close to the model’s camp as saying that Ambrosio would probably donate some of the profits from the sales of her baby’s pics to the Multiple Sclerosis Children’s Fund.
Ambrosio gave birth to Anja in Brazil. She confirmed the arrival of her baby to People magazine, saying “To all of our family and friends, we are pleased to announce that our little princess Anja Louise Ambrosio Mazur was born on Sunday Aug 24 at 7:32 P.M. She is 6.3 lbs. and absolutely perfect.”
Anja is the first child of Ambrosio and her longtime boyfriend Jamie Mazur, a California businessman. The pair reportedly have been dating since 2005. She broke her pregnancy for public to know back in March.
