Laura Tobin wrapped up warm for the final day of Cheltenham Festival, on Friday.
GMB’s meteorologist, 42, was refined in a tailored camel coat and red hat as she posed for photographs upon arrival at the horse racing event.
Laura matched her tan coloured waist belt with a pair of suede knee-high boots in the same shade of brown.
Beneath her outerwear, an off-white roll neck jumper could be seen, as well as the waterfall hemline of a floaty skirt.
Last year, the Jockey Club scrapped its strict dress code at its racecourses in the hopes of encouraging a younger crowd to racing events, with jeans and trainers no longer looked down upon, and ‘come dressed to feel your best’ guidance in place.

The formal dress codes – which often included a jacket and tie – were dropped in an effort to make horseracing more ‘accessible and inclusive’, the Jockey Club said in an announcement.
The only exceptions to the new policy at any of the 342 fixtures staged by The Jockey Club is offensive fancy dress or offensive clothing of any kind and replica sports shirts.
In previous years men would wear suits and women would wear smart dresses and heels, while jeans and trainers were usually avoided.
But this year, stilettos have been traded in for chunky boots, and traditional long dresses have been hiked up. Noughties fashion seemed to be in vogue, with people opting for rara skirts and blazers.
For today’s race meeting, The Paddy Power Stayer’s Hurdle is the headline act at 15:30 where Teahupoo is hoping to go a couple of places better than last season when denied by stablemate Sire Du Berlais who also lines up again.
It is the most open of the Festival’s feature races with winners tough to predict.
Three previous Stayers’ Hurdle winners line up — Paisley Park, Flooring Porter, who has twice been successful, and last year’s scorer Sire Du Berlais.
Gordon Elliott’s Teahupoo finished third last year and returns a more mature and complete athlete at the age of seven, the age of five of the past seven winners.
