This Is the ONLY Trend That Mattered at Melbourne Cup

For most people, Melbourne Cup day is about horse racing. For us, it’s about paying close attention to what the celebrities are wearing. This generally spells out what party season dressing will look like in the coming months.

The last few years have been ALL about black and white—and while monochrome will always be up there, it’s exciting to see bright, neon colours take the front seat.

How are we modernising this old-school trend? With sleek and simple accessories. Most ladies opted to go with black, but we also love how Rebecca Judd paired her red, flouncy mini dress with nude pumps.
