The Melbourne Cup is fast approaching, and aside from the horse racing, the day is a big player in the fashion field, an opportunity to be bold with your fashion, don a beautiful hat or sculptural headpiece and spend the day sipping champagne with friends.
Whilst Melbourne Cup race day fashion doesn't come with a strict set of rules, there are a few key points to keep in mind. The day calls for vibrant hues and uber-feminine cuts, so pack away the neutrals and that beloved black dress for another day, and opt for bright pinks, oranges, blues and purples. It's the perfect opportunity to curate your best tonal ensemble, by matching your bag and shoes or crafting an entire look within a colour palette. Discover some of our top picks for the best Melbourne Cup fashion looks below, all available in Newmarket.
Whether you opt for one of these looks for your Melbourne Cup race-day fashion, or draw inspiration from them to create your own style, enjoy the moment to dress up and enjoy the camaraderie and excitement of race day. And if buying new isn't on the cards, consider renting a dress or browsing the incredible vintage and second hand stores in Newmarket.
