Race-day dresses are a captivating mix of classic and contemporary styles. While some opt for timeless silhouettes and tailored cuts, others embrace modern and edgy designs. Midi and maxi dresses are most popular choices, with flowing fabrics and asymmetric hems to add a touch of drama. The Melbourne Cup continues to be a platform for fashion-forward women to showcase their diverse tastes and preferences.

Accessories are not to be underestimated, as they played a pivotal role in elevating the fashion game. Statement jewellery, elegant gloves, clutch bags and of course fascinators add the finishing touch to race day outfits.
