Melbourne Cup is around the corner and we’re looking back at our favourite fashion moments surrounding this event that’s become all about the FASHION and less about the races.
The prestigious Fashions on the Field competition was first introduced back in 1962 as a way of getting more women to attend the races and we can definitely say this competition has taken off!
Looking back at the past 10 years of Fashion on the field winners, if there’s one thing these fashionistas have proven, it’s that you don’t need to spend a huge amount of money on designer labels to look a million dollars!
Take note, Fairies.
