It’s that time of the year again! The Spring Racing Carnival is upon us and although the races is about the horses, many would argue it’s just as much about the fashion.
Whether it’s Derby Day, Oaks Day or Melbourne Cup Day, each year celebrities wow the crowds in an array of colourful frocks and dazzling hats in the marquees.
This weekend and on Melbourne Cup Day, the famous fillies will be donning their best hats and fascinators for a day at the racetrack.
Over the years, notable fashion highlights include, Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Hawkins, Rebecca Judd, Rachael Finch, Lisa Wilkinson, Dita Von Teese and Miranda Kerr.
