Pretty as a princess! Sylvia Jeffreys looks elegant in a white lace dress at Derby Day as she gives a nod to a famous movie character with one cute accessory
Sylvia Jeffreys looked breathtaking in white as she attended Derby Day at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne on Saturday.
The Today Extra host, 39, channelled Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz in a stunning white dress with lace detail by Rebecca Vallance.
Her midi dress cinched in at her waist and featured a dainty collar and puffed short sleeves.
Sylvia added sweet touches to her ensemble, wearing a bow in her hair and carrying a cute basket bag by Alexis, which appeared to be a nod to Judy Garland’s famous character.
She rounded out the look with a pair of white strappy stilettos and pearl drop earrings.
For hair and makeup she went for an understated look, tying her blonde locks back into a ponytail and a neutral palette to enhance her natural beauty.

At the event, Sylvia posed with friends and celebrities, including The White Lotus star Michelle Monaghan and her sister-in-law Jasmine Stefanovic.
Her husband Peter Stefanovic did not attend the event, but Sylvia recently opened up about her marriage to the Sky News journalist.
Sylvia shares two young sons with Stefanovic, 43, who is the younger brother of Nine network veteran Karl Stefanovic.
Describing her life with the TV anchor as ‘beautiful’, she revealed how she manages to juggle motherhood and a successful TV career.
‘It’s messy and chaotic and it’s full on, but it’s beautiful and I have a great partner, a great teammate in Pete,’ she said in an interview with Stellar magazine.
‘As far as TV gigs go, we’re both very fortunate – we’re aligned in the mornings at the moment, which makes the first half of the day kind of chaotic but it means that we’re both home for the afternoon and the evening and bedtime.’
In the interview, Sylvia also said that parenting their two boys is a team effort.
She said the family currently enjoys a lot of ‘togetherness’ and revealed a surprising family secret.

‘Pete cooks dinner, I never have to think about dinner,’ she said, before joking: ‘So if anyone wants to know how I survive as a working mum, that’s how: my husband does dinner every night.’
Elsewhere, Sylvia revealed that she and husband Peter have opened investments for their two boys.
Sylvia, who hosts the finance podcast The Pay Off, said that the couple is putting a little bit away for their children every month to help secure their future.
‘This is where the mum guilt comes in when you’re skipping out every morning and going to work – you want them to know it’s for some greater purpose as well,’ she said.
Sylvia and Peter celebrated their eighth wedding anniversary this year.
‘Our Big Fat Greek Anniversary,’ Sylvia captioned a picture she took of their meals from a Sydney restaurant, which she later posted to Instagram.
Meanwhile, Peter shared an image of his wife wrapping her arm around him as he wrote, ‘8 with my mate,’ alongside a red love heart.
Sylvia also shared a second picture, a black and white snapshot from when the couple first started dating.
In the caption, she wrote: ‘Now and then. 7 years married + 2 lovely children – 700 hours of sleep = something to celebrate. Happy anniversary, Peter Stefanovic.’
