The 2020 Melbourne Cup is looking a little different this year, but there’s some traditions that’ll never die.
Melbourne Cup + Fashions on the Field go together like jam on scones, so to think of marking this year’s Melbourne Cup without the feat is kinda unimaginable.
So despite the fact COVID-19 has all but shut down all spectator-ship at Melbourne’s iconic Flemington Racecourse this Tuesday Cup Day, that hasn’t stopped some of the event’s famous regulars from frocking up in their own homes.
In the grand scheme of things, dressing up at home and posting about it on social media is basically 2020’s equivalent of a whirlwind day out, right?
The likes of Snezana Wood, Bec Judd and Renee Bargh are case in point.

The usual track-side influencers haven’t let COVID put a stopper to the usual Cup Day frivolity today by dressing up and sharing pics from their own homes – and our eyeballs are thankful for it.
Here, we round up the best dressed on Melbourne Cup Day – backyard edition.
Sister act! Leading Bachelorette siblings Elly and Becky Miles turned heads at the G.H. Mumm Melbourne Cup Carnival celebrations at Pier One in Sydney.
