Delta’s jaw-dropping Melbourne Cup outfit

Delta Goodrem has posed at the iconic venue in a striking pink and light green jumpsuit.

Delta – who is a Victoria Racing Club (VRC) ambassador – paired her bold outfit with a fuchsia oversized hat, offsetting the pale pink of her jumpsuit.

The striking outfit is a stark contrast to the ensemble Delta teased fans with earlier in the day on her Instagram.

In a selfie wishing followers a “happy race day” she played it safe, opting for a simple floral dress with mismatched accessories, including a purple hat and cream bag with a brown strap.

The singer wore the outfit on the cover of today’s Herald Sun.

Speaking to Channel 10’s Rob Mills and Kate Freebairn, Delta said she was thrilled to be celebrating the Cup in Melbourne, having performed in Sydney last year because of Covid.

“It is beautiful. It is spectacular. Last year we got to perform on the rooftop and we brought as many flowers as we possibly could,” she said.

“Nothing [is] like the 16,000 roses that are here and the energy of everybody coming together. It is such a huge team for everyone to bring this marvellous event to the world.”

But not everyone was thrilled with Delta’s presence – with fans taking to social media to express their disappointment that she’s an ambassador for the “barbaric and cruel” event.

“Delta looks great, that should distract me from the dead horses,” one man wrote on Twitter.

“Very disappointing Delta. This industry is barbaric and cruel,” another added.

“Your endorsement fee comes off the back of these beautiful sentient creatures’ pain, as well as the gambling fuelled social dysfunction it creates. Do better.”

“Disappointed to see @DeltaGoodrem supporting the #MelbourneCup by performing there today. #nuptothecup,” said another.
