NO MATTER the downpours, the stars still made it trackside to Victoria Derby Day at Melbourne’s Flemington racecourse yesterday.  Leading the pack were TV sweethearts Jessica Marais and James Stewart, left, who made their first official public appearance as an engaged couple.  Other celebrities included Erica Packer, Kerri-Anne and John Kennerley, Megan Gale, and Katherine Jenkins.

Marais and Stewart were ecstatic and showing their love for each other as they enjoyed the Spanish-themed Emirates marquee.

“I’m very happy; beside myself,” Marais said. Stewart and Marais became engaged earlier this month while on holiday from the hugely popular Seven TV drama, Packed to the Rafters.

Marais’ diamond engagement ring was covered by black leather gloves, which she took off to show friends through the day. “It’s an equestrian look,” she said, in a Willow outfit and Richard Nylon hat. Anne and John Kennerley, Megan Gale, and Katherine Jenkins.

Kelly Osbourne was mobbed by photographers, as was Mel B. Dame Edna Everage and Jennifer Hawkins posed for photographers while Kris Smith flew solo, with Dannii Minogue in the UK. Kerri-Anne Kennerley said she was celebrating her 27th year in The Birdcage.

“It’s all about The Birdcage,” she said, wearing Alex Perry. “Everybody puts in such an effort; it’s exquisite.”
