She recently appeared on Sunday Night to share her journey of motherhood and surrogacy.And on Thursday, Sally Obermeder was the picture of happiness as she stunned in a black and white polka dot frock she wore to the inaugural luncheon for The Star Doncaster Mile horse race, to be held on Saturday at Royal Randwick.
The TV presenter was all smiles as she posed on the media wall alongside other celebrity guests including Kris Smith.
The auburn-haired beauty flaunted her slender pins as the dress skimmed her thighs.
She teamed the dress with a pair of black strappy sandals and a matching clutch.
She wore her long mane out and kept her makeup bold with a smokey eye and pink lip.
Sally got into the spirit and laughed and joked with her fellow celebrities including I'm A Celebrity's Kris Smith.
Meanwhile, she took to Instagram to express her gratitude for the 'beautiful love' received after Sunday Night aired her journey to America, where her daughter Elyssa Rose was born via surrogate mum, Rachel, in December.
On Monday morning, Sally shared a picture of the newborn sound asleep with big sister Annabelle Grace. She captioned the picture: 'Our heartfelt love and thanks for all the beautiful love we've received after last night's @sundaynighton7 .
'We'll pass on everyone's love to the hero of this story - Rachel & her family - and we know they'd probably brush it off, but it's angels like this that make the world shine.'
On Sunday night, the 43-year-old opened up about how she felt holding Elyssa Rose for the first time.
The Daily Edition host revealed to Sunday Night that she experienced an outpouring of affection to her new addition - after being handed the newborn just after the surrogate had given birth. She said: 'I was like, I don't know how to channel all this love and all this emotion and all this gratitude. I felt like I was going to explode.'
The programme documented Sally's emotional journey as she traveled to the States with husband Marcus and first born Annabelle Grace for the birth.Surrogate mum, Rachel, admitted her decision to part with the baby had raised questions, but she labeled the experience of seeing the Obermeders with their new addition 'priceless'.
She said: 'It does bring up a lot of questions, like, "How are you able to give the baby away?" And truly, it's not my baby. I'm just babysitting for 10 months.'
The delight was overwhelming for Sally, who was diagnosed with breast cancer a day before she gave birth to Annabelle in October 2011.
Husband Marcus, who she married in 2001, tearfully reflected on the lowest moments during his wife's cancer battle.
He said: 'The conversations at 3AM, where Sal thinks she's going to die and you have to... I mean, there's nothing you can do about it. You've just got to listen to her. You say, "Yeah. It might happen. I'm really sorry".'
After a year of chemotherapy, Sally was given the all-clear but warned that it was too dangerous for her to fall pregnant again.
However, in January last year she revealed how she'd suffered a miscarriage via an emotional
Instagram post.
