Italian-Australian shoe designer Terry Biviano has been to her fair share of events, but race day is certainly one of her favourites.
She talks us through what makes the perfect race day outfit, what she never leaves home without and, of course, what shoes you should be wearing this race season.
What are your race day essentials from top to toe?
My essentials are a fabulous hat, a great manicure and pedicure that matches my lipstick colour and, most of all, fantastic yet comfortable shoes.
What are the stand-out colours to be seen at this year’s spring racing carnival?
This year, really anything goes. You can be seen in anything from bright primary colours, fuchsia pinks, cobalt blue and orange, to sorbet colours lilac, ice-blue or nude.
What makes the perfect race day shoe. For you is it about comfort or style?
The shoe needs to be stylish to complement and complete your outfit, yet comfortable. If you aren’t comfortable you will have sore feet and won’t enjoy your day – and it is a very long day.
If hats aren’t your thing, how can you compensate in style?
You could always go for a hair accessory, a head band, fancy hair clip, a flower or even a turban.
What three things do you make sure you carry in your bag on race day?
I always carry lipstick, my make-up compact for touch-ups, and perfume.
