Phoebe Burgess makes rare public appearance at Derby Day wearing bridal white

Phoebe Burgess made a rare public appearance on Derby Day at Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse on Saturday.

The ex-wife of rugby league player Sam Burgess turned up at the spring racing carnival looking stunning in white.

“On the way to the most spectacular Birdcage tent,” she beamed on her Instagram Stories.

“On to level three.”

The Birdcage enclosure at Flemington Racecourse is a place of unparalleled extravagance and hedonism, with major sponsors sparing no expense while their well-heeled guests live the life of luxury during the Melbourne Cup Carnival.

Phoebe wore a country-inspired gown with puff sleeves, a leg slit and a built-in bow at the front.

Perched at the bar overlooking the race track, one heeled foot peeking out from under her skirt, Phoebe wrote: “Picking the winners, and a few non-winners, from above.”

The sheer white fabric had lace details and a chic décolleté with buttons.

Other guests treated to the VIP experience on Saturday included Snezana Wood, Khan Hong, Tayla Broad, Tim Robards and Rebecca Judd.

In the great tradition of racing fashion, Phoebe went for statement headwear.

Her large white wide-brimmed hat with a gold chain matched the rest of the outfit, and she completed her look with white pumps.

After Phoebe’s fans shared the images of her ensemble on Instagram, they went wild in the comments.

“You look beautiful in that dress,” one follower wrote, while another said: “You look beautiful – I hope you win.”

“Stunning in white,” said another, while another told the influencer she looked “sensational.”

It comes as Jana Hocking recently advised Phoebe to drop ex-husband Sam Burgess’ surname.

“Let me put it bluntly: it’s time to give up the ghost of husbands’ pasts,” Hocking wrote in her Daily Mail Australia Mail+ column.

“Yes, I’m talking about your Instagram account @mrsphoebeburgess,” she added, before suggesting that by keeping the name, Phoebe seems “a bit stuck in the past, when it’s clear that your ex-husband already left a long time ago.’

Sam Burgess recently married his new wife Lucy in a lavish Roman wedding.

Sam and his ex-wife Phoebe married in 2015, separated in late 2018 and resumed their relationship in early 2019.

They separated for good on October 2 that year and later divorced – with Phoebe keeping her husband’s name despite the bitter parting.
