The Melbourne Cup Carnival kicks off tomorrow with stars set to frock up in their black and white best for AAMI Victoria Derby Day ahead of the big one — the race that stops the nation, Melbourne Cup.
We love seeing race-day regulars like Jennifer Hawkins, Jodi Anasta, Bec Hewitt, Georgia Love and Rebecca Judd get all dressed up in their spring racing finest, but before we see what everyone is wearing this year, let’s take a look back at some memorable Melbourne Cup moments from past years.
Quick! There’s still time to get tickets to Melbourne Cup Carnival, which is on 3-10 November at Flemington Racecourse, Melbourne. For more information and tickets to AAMI Derby Day, Lexus Melbourne Cup Day, Kennedy Oaks Day and Seppelt Wines Stakes Day, visit www.flemington.com.au.
